"Great Britain off the Map of Europe?" has reemerged in the news. This is the title of a previous article published in the November 2006 issue of World News and Prophec.
Michael Lea, political correspondent of the Daily Mail (April 23, 2008), wrote: "The Tories [British Conservative Party] have issued a St. George's Day rallying cry against plans by Brussels to 'wipe England off the map' and create a United Europe...
•"Under the programme, known as INTER-REG, counties along England's south coast form the 'Manche Region' along with Northern France.
•"The 'Atlantic Region' takes in western England, along with Ireland, Wales and parts of Portugal, Spain, France and Scotland.
•"And eastern England is part of the 'North State Region', which covers areas of Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Norway and the Netherlands."
According to Mr. Lea, "The UK government is fully behind the project," slated to be funded with many millions of euros.
We quote from the concluding paragraphs of our article published in November 2006. "The prophetic implications of what is being planned in Europe and Britain are truly frightening. Bureaucrats in Brussels don't always realize the potential repercussions of their plans and edicts. They can have dire consequences in the future, especially under a more autocratic, federal EU."

John Ross Schroeder
John died on March 8, 2014, in Oxford, England, four days after suffering cardiac arrest while returning home from a press event in London. John was 77 and still going strong.
Some of John's work for The Good News appeared under his byline, but much didn't. He wrote more than a thousand articles over the years, but also wrote the Questions and Answers section of the magazine, compiled our Letters From Our Readers, and wrote many of the items in the Current Events and Trends section. He also contributed greatly to a number of our study guides and Bible Study Course lessons. His writing has touched the lives of literally millions of people over the years.
John traveled widely over the years as an accredited journalist, especially in Europe. His knowledge of European and Middle East history added a great deal to his articles on history and Bible prophecy.
In his later years he also pastored congregations in Northern Ireland and East Sussex, and that experience added another dimension to his writing. He and his wife Jan were an effective team in our British Isles office near their home.
John was a humble servant who dedicated his life to sharing the gospel—the good news—of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God to all the world, and his work was known to readers in nearly every country of the world.
