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

<strong>The</strong> <strong>European</strong> <strong>Union</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Prophecy</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many at the present day thus cl<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g to the customs and traditions<br />
of their fathers. When the Lord sends them additional light, they refuse to accept it,<br />
because, not hav<strong>in</strong>g been granted to their fathers, it was not received <strong>by</strong> them. We are<br />
not placed where our fathers were; consequently our duties and responsibilities are<br />
not the same as theirs. We shall not be approved of God <strong>in</strong> look<strong>in</strong>g to the example of<br />
our fathers to determ<strong>in</strong>e our duty <strong>in</strong>stead of search<strong>in</strong>g the word of truth for ourselves.<br />
Our responsibility is greater than was that of our ancestors. We are accountable for<br />
the light which they received, and which was handed down as an <strong>in</strong>heritance for us,<br />
and we are accountable also for the additional light which is now sh<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g upon us<br />
from the word of God.<br />
Said Christ of the unbeliev<strong>in</strong>g Jews: "If I had not come and spoken unto them,<br />
they had not had s<strong>in</strong>: but now they have no cloak for their s<strong>in</strong>." John 15:22. <strong>The</strong> same<br />
div<strong>in</strong>e power had spoken through Luther to the emperor and pr<strong>in</strong>ces of Germany. And<br />
as the light shone forth from God's word, His Spirit pleaded for the last time with<br />
many <strong>in</strong> that assembly. As Pilate, centuries before, permitted pride and popularity to<br />
close his heart aga<strong>in</strong>st the world's Redeemer; as the trembl<strong>in</strong>g Felix bade the<br />
messenger of truth, "Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will<br />
call for thee;" as the proud Agrippa confessed, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a<br />
Christian" (Acts 24:25; 26:28), yet turned away from the Heaven-sent message--so had<br />
Charles V, yield<strong>in</strong>g to the dictates of worldly pride and policy, decided to reject the<br />
light of truth.<br />
Rumors of the designs aga<strong>in</strong>st Luther were widely circulated, caus<strong>in</strong>g great<br />
excitement throughout the city. <strong>The</strong> Reformer had made many friends, who, know<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the treacherous cruelty of Rome toward all who dared expose her corruptions, resolved<br />
that he should not be sacrificed. Hundreds of nobles pledged themselves to protect<br />
him. Not a few openly denounced the royal message of ev<strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>g a weak submission to<br />
the controll<strong>in</strong>g power of Rome. On the gates of houses and <strong>in</strong> public places, placards<br />
were posted, some condemn<strong>in</strong>g and others susta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g Luther. On one of these were<br />
written merely the significant words of the wise man: "Woe to thee, O land, when thy<br />
k<strong>in</strong>g is a child." Ecclesiastes 10:16. <strong>The</strong> popular enthusiasm <strong>in</strong> Luther's favor<br />
throughout all Germany conv<strong>in</strong>ced both the emperor and the Diet that any <strong>in</strong>justice<br />
shown him would endanger the peace of the empire and even the stability of the<br />
throne.<br />
