"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Revelation 13:18)

Mr. Solana is attempting to begin a European Neighborhood Policy over the entire European and Mediterranean area. This policy is to be implemented for period of seven years:

"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (Hebrew "shebuah" - seven years)..." (Daniel 9:27a)

All participating nations were to have their agreements confirmed on January 1, 2007 and sixteen nations have already signed on to be participants, including Israel.

Part of the EU’s seven-year plan will be directed at what is called 'thematic strategies'. Among these strategies will include an action plan geared at bringing the participating nations in line with EU standards on animal welfare. The date the animal welfare standards are to be established is in the middle of the seven year European Neighborhood Policy, or in other words three and one half years after its implementation:

"...and in the midst of the week (after three and one half years) he shall cause the sacrifice (of animals) and the oblation (meat offering) to cease..." (Daniel 9:27b)

The Antichrist will stop the sacrifice and offerings in the Jewish Temple at the midpoint of the Tribulation and the European Union now has everything in place to carry this out. No, I'm not saying Javier Solana is the Antichrist but rather he currently holds the office from which the Antichrist will utilize his power and authority.
