351 Europe is Awakening: Italy, Iran, and the Rise of the Revived Roman Empire

3 Feb 2026Europe is positioning itself for a larger role on the world stage, with Italy leading the charge by calling for the European Union to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation. This move, driven by recent American policy shifts and the emergence of the “Board of Peace” concept, signifies Europe’s adaptation to a changing global order and its desire to establish itself as a central authority in managing international conflicts.Italy’s growing influence in the Mediterranean and its increasing coordination with Israel and the EU are seen as signs of a revived Roman Empire. This consolidation of power, characterised by managed stability rather than immediate war, aligns with biblical prophecies of a final kingdom arising from a former empire. The church is called to watchfulness, discernment, and proclamation, recognising the signs of the times and sharing the gospel while there is still time.
