Coming to Grips with the Role of Europe in Prophecy - Erwin W. Lutzer
History
Introduction
The wall crumbles overnight, Berliners embrace in disbelieving joy and a stunned world ponders the consequences.
So wrote George Church in Time in November 1989. On that first day 100,000 people came across the border to participate in an ecstatic celebration and reunion. They danced on the wall while people sang and bands played. The wave of anti-Communist sentiment was so powerful that the East German leader Erich Honecker was soon deposed. Plans were quickly underway for free elections that would pave the way for reunification.
Since that time, even more has happened in Europe to cause the world to wonder. On Christmas Day 1989, Ceausescu, the cruel dictator of Romania, was executed along with his wife after a brief trial. The death of this evil man who had massacred so many of his own countrymen triggered jubilation in the streets. The Antichrist is dead!
the people shouted with dizzy disbelief. Suddenly, the country began to enjoy new freedoms even though its economic problems still appeared to be beyond solution.
The political changes in Europe during the past few years and months have been staggering. Beginning with Poland, one by one countries in the Eastern Bloc have thrown off the shackles of Communism and opted for governments that allow greater freedoms and the possibility of private enterprise.
Remarkably, the revolutions have been largely bloodless (except in Romania), and the transition of power has been accomplished with minimal violence. A New Europe is emerging before our eyes. A united Germany appears to be the economic centerpiece that will propel Europe to a position of high stature among the other nations of the world.
The leaders of present-day Europe are witnessing its rebirth as the continent emerges from the long, dark tunnel created by its near suicides in 1914 and 1939. Finally, the stigma of the past can be laid aside, and a new Europe can show the world that unity can exist at the crossroads of the world.
Who should take the credit for these staggering changes? Gorbachev must be thanked for changing the Soviet policy of repression to one of greater openness and realism. But let us remember that he was forced to make reforms because of the total bankruptcy of the Communist system. The decision to allow freedom in Eastern Europe was brilliant, for Gorbachev knew that the euphoria would result in billions of dollars pouring in from the West to
