At the beginning of the war in the Middle-East, referred to in Ezekiel chapter 38, and 39, in the Bible, there is a reference to the "whimpy" complaints of a group of nations, including Saudi Arabia, and several countries, referred to as the "merchants of Tarshish, and the "young lions thereof" (see Ezekiel 38, i3)!!! Historically. Tarshish was the foreign colony of the merchant traders of Tyre, known as Carthage, Tyre being the city state, just to the north of Israel! These traders eventually established further trading colonies, like the one in barbarian Britain, from which grew later nations including our own, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, and others!!! Biblical scholars have long felt that these nations were the ones referred to by God as, "the young lions of Tarshish", with the lion being a traditional symbol for Britain!!!
Britain tried to join the European Socialist "One-World" government, 47 years ago, but became disillusioned, and for the last few years has been debating the "Brexit" plan to remove themselves from that government!!! They grew to resent the Socialist bureaucrats' telling them that they could not continue to obey certain British laws, that the bureaucrats disapproved of!!! After years of internal, and international arguing over their right to leave the European system, they finally are set to formally, and completely leave the system tonight, just before midnight!!! "Welcome back to reality"!!!
Their leaving has been loudly criticized, especially by the Europeans, and past Trade rights will certainly be withdrawn, accordingly, over the next year! President Trump is sending Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, to England to work out a trade deal between the U.S. and Britain, which will benefit both parties. The U. S. has also been negotiating a trade deal with the Europeans, but now it seems that bitterness over any deal with Britain will scuttle that possibility.
