Recently, a global address on European independence caught Benny Hinn’s attention. He believes this discussion about geopolitical shifts could carry deeper spiritual significance.
During remarks reflecting on global transformation, European leadership highlighted the need for structural change, stating that today’s geopolitical climate represents “a seismic change” and “an opportunity, in fact a necessity to build a new form of European independence.”
For Hinn, this language about the reshaping of global alliances could be akin to biblical prophecy—particularly passages in the book of Daniel that describe end-time kingdoms and global power structures.
“I did not expect to see so much prophecy happening so quickly this year. We are in truly, truly amazing times,” Hinn said.
He pointed specifically to the broader prophetic framework many Christians have studied for decades, noting, “The prophecy would be sealed until the last days. And now God is opening the seal of the prophecy he gave to Daniel about the last kingdom on earth before the coming of the Lord.”

While acknowledging uncertainty about exact prophetic fulfillment, he added, “We again don’t know exactly what’s going to happen… We see through a glass darkly till God begins to clear it all up.”
The discussion also turned toward long-standing debates about the identity of prophetic global alliances. Some have historically linked end-times power structures to Europe or global institutions, though interpretations vary widely among theologians.
“This could very well be… the formation of the last kingdom on earth,” Hinn said. “And maybe the UN is a part of it. We just don’t know.”
Hinn then focused on spiritual readiness. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 4, he emphasized our hope to be found in Christ’s return.
“The great catching up of the church is a reality,” he said, referencing the passage describing believers being “caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord… and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
He stressed that biblical prophecy is meant to encourage believers, not create fear.
“Comfort one another with these words,” he quoted, adding, “The coming of the Lord is so certain.”
Hinn further called for spiritual vigilance, referencing Jesus’ warning in Luke 21. “Take heed to yourselves… Don’t let the cares of this life take your attention away,” he said, noting that Scripture warns end-times events will come “as a snare… on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.”
Another key theme was the importance of daily engagement with Scripture. Referencing research on Bible reading habits, he said, “If you read your Bible four times a week, it will change everything about your life… I read my Bible seven days a week.”
As global tensions, alliances and economic systems continue to shift, we have no choice but to stay grounded in faith.
“This is not the time to give up,” Hinn said. “This is the time to be steadfast, strong in the Lord, strong in the power of His blessed word.”
