The European Union in Prophecy by Ellen White
The European Union in Prophecy provides insightful perspectives on the E.U. both as a political project in integration and a transformation of an ancient order. One would discern that the aligned and centralised powers, which firmly resolved on unification, conceived and instituted united kingdoms, united states and united nations, still persevere in their efforts for a more robust and resilient E.U. However, unknown to most, the territorial aggrandisement, economic and military supremacy and global dominance of the E.U. have all been foretold in prophecy, millennia before the reign of the first European monarch. Spiritual forces that engineered the rise of the European thrones, also calculated the suppression of dissidence and incited merciless carnage. Although now paraded as an industrialised paragon of progress and self-made sophistication, this book elucidates on the enigmatic and clandestine alliances, decrees and dogmas that consolidated Eurocentricity that moulded modern civilisation. Indeed, despite rooted religiopolitical tensions and divergences, a peculiar one-minded homogenisation facilitates the unification process. Keywords

the universities, and <strong>in</strong> the palaces of k<strong>in</strong>gs;" and noble men were ris<strong>in</strong>g on every<br />
hand to susta<strong>in</strong> his efforts.-- Ibid., b. 6, ch. 2.<br />
It was about this time that Luther, read<strong>in</strong>g the works of Huss, found that the<br />
great truth of justification <strong>by</strong> faith, which he himself was seek<strong>in</strong>g to uphold and teach,<br />
had been held <strong>by</strong> the Bohemian Reformer. "We have all," said Luther, "Paul,<br />
August<strong>in</strong>e, and myself, been Hussites without know<strong>in</strong>g it!" "God will surely visit it<br />
upon the world," he cont<strong>in</strong>ued, "that the truth was preached to it a century ago, and<br />
burned!"--Wylie, b. 6. ch. 1 In an appeal to the emperor and nobility of Germany <strong>in</strong><br />
behalf of the reformation of Christianity, Luther wrote concern<strong>in</strong>g the pope: "It is a<br />
horrible th<strong>in</strong>g to behold the man who styles himself Christ's vicegerent, display<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
magnificence that no emperor can equal. Is this be<strong>in</strong>g like the poor Jesus, or the<br />
humble Peter? He is, say they, the lord of the world! But Christ, whose vicar he boasts<br />
of be<strong>in</strong>g, has said, 'My k<strong>in</strong>gdom is not of this world.' Can the dom<strong>in</strong>ions of a vicar<br />
extend beyond those of his superior?"-- D'Aubigne, b. 6, ch. 3.<br />
He wrote thus of the universities: "I am much afraid that the universities will<br />
prove to be the great gates of hell, unless they diligently labor <strong>in</strong> expla<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the Holy<br />
Scriptures, and engrav<strong>in</strong>g them <strong>in</strong> the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his<br />
child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every <strong>in</strong>stitution <strong>in</strong> which men<br />
are not unceas<strong>in</strong>gly occupied with the word of God must become corrupt."-- Ibid., b. 6,<br />
ch. 3. This appeal was rapidly circulated throughout Germany and exerted a powerful<br />
<strong>in</strong>fluence upon the people. <strong>The</strong> whole nation was stirred, and multitudes were roused<br />
to rally around the standard of reform. Luther's opponents, burn<strong>in</strong>g with a desire for<br />
revenge, urged the pope to take decisive measures aga<strong>in</strong>st him. It was decreed that<br />
his doctr<strong>in</strong>es should be immediately condemned. Sixty days were granted the<br />
Reformer and his adherents, after which, if they did not recant, they were all to be<br />
excommunicated.<br />
That was a terrible crisis for the Reformation. For centuries Rome's sentence of<br />
excommunication had struck terror to powerful monarchs; it had filled mighty<br />
empires with woe and desolation. Those upon whom its condemnation fell were<br />
universally regarded with dread and horror; they were cut off from <strong>in</strong>tercourse with<br />
their fellows and treated as outlaws, to be hunted to exterm<strong>in</strong>ation. Luther was not<br />
bl<strong>in</strong>d to the tempest about to burst upon him; but he stood firm, trust<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Christ to<br />
