The 7th head (The EU) is currently becoming the 8th head (remember the 8th comes out of the 7th) of Revelation. The Bear (Russia) will soon have the 3 ribs in it's mouth (the 3 kings that are plucked up by the roots) and will join with the leopard (Germany) and create the 8th head out of the CARCASS of the 7th. This is also the 4th beast of Daniel 7:3-7:8.
According to Bible Prophecy Germany and France will lead the EU into a SUPERSTATE or with a dominant FEDERAL GOVERNMENT described in the Bible as a Beast System due to its merging of different countries and peoples into one State with one Voice. Along with this development we expect to see Russia become more involved in Europe with links to a combined army.
This EU SUPERSTATE will along with Russia enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East. Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of "Magog".They are spoken of militarily as the "King of the North". Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days. So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe. It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.
