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 />
order aga<strong>in</strong>st the importunate professor of Heidelberg. Melanchthon doubted not that<br />
God had saved his friend <strong>by</strong> send<strong>in</strong>g one of His holy angels to forewarn him.<br />
"Motionless on the banks of the Rh<strong>in</strong>e, he waited until the waters of that stream<br />
had rescued Grynaeus from his persecutors. 'At last,' cried Melanchthon, as he saw<br />
him on the opposite side, 'at last he is torn from the cruel jaws of those who thirst for<br />
<strong>in</strong>nocent blood.' When he returned to his house, Melanchthon was <strong>in</strong>formed that<br />
officers <strong>in</strong> search of Grynaeus had ransacked it from top to bottom."-- Ibid., b. 13, ch.<br />
6. <strong>The</strong> Reformation was to be brought <strong>in</strong>to greater prom<strong>in</strong>ence before the mighty<br />
ones of the earth. <strong>The</strong> evangelical pr<strong>in</strong>ces had been denied a hear<strong>in</strong>g <strong>by</strong> K<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Ferd<strong>in</strong>and; but they were to be granted an opportunity to present their cause <strong>in</strong> the<br />
presence of the emperor and the assembled dignitaries of church and state. To quiet<br />
the dissensions which disturbed the empire, Charles V, <strong>in</strong> the year follow<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
Protest of Spires, convoked a diet at Augsburg, over which he announced his <strong>in</strong>tention<br />
to preside <strong>in</strong> person. Thither the Protestant leaders were summoned.<br />
Great dangers threatened the Reformation; but its advocates still trusted their<br />
cause with God, and pledged themselves to be firm to the gospel. <strong>The</strong> elector of Saxony<br />
was urged <strong>by</strong> his councilors not to appear at the Diet. <strong>The</strong> emperor, they said, required<br />
the attendance of the pr<strong>in</strong>ces <strong>in</strong> order to draw them <strong>in</strong>to a snare. "Is it not risk<strong>in</strong>g<br />
everyth<strong>in</strong>g to go and shut oneself up with<strong>in</strong> the walls of a city with a powerful enemy?"<br />
But others nobly declared, "Let the pr<strong>in</strong>ces only comport themselves with courage,<br />
and God's cause is saved." "God is faithful; He will not abandon us," said Luther.--<br />
Ibid., b. 14, ch. 2. <strong>The</strong> elector set out, with his ret<strong>in</strong>ue, for Augsburg. All were<br />
acqua<strong>in</strong>ted with the dangers that menaced him, and many went forward with gloomy<br />
countenance and troubled heart. But Luther, who accompanied them as far as Coburg,<br />
revived their s<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g faith <strong>by</strong> s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g the hymn, written on that journey, "A strong<br />
tower is our God." Many an anxious forebod<strong>in</strong>g was banished, many a heavy heart<br />
lightened, at the sound of the <strong>in</strong>spir<strong>in</strong>g stra<strong>in</strong>s.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reformed pr<strong>in</strong>ces had determ<strong>in</strong>ed upon hav<strong>in</strong>g a statement of their views <strong>in</strong><br />
systematic form, with the evidence from the Scriptures, to present before the Diet;<br />
and the task of its preparation was committed to Luther, Melanchthon, and their<br />
associates. This Confession was accepted <strong>by</strong> the Protestants as an exposition of their<br />
faith, and they assembled to affix their names to the important document. It was a<br />
