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 />
As travelers perish<strong>in</strong>g from thirst welcome with joy a liv<strong>in</strong>g water spr<strong>in</strong>g, so did<br />
these souls receive the message of heaven. <strong>The</strong> laborers <strong>in</strong> the field, the artisans <strong>in</strong><br />
the workshop, cheered their daily toil <strong>by</strong> talk<strong>in</strong>g of the precious truths of the Bible.<br />
At even<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>stead of resort<strong>in</strong>g to the w<strong>in</strong>e-shops, they assembled <strong>in</strong> one another's<br />
homes to read God's word and jo<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> prayer and praise. A great change was soon<br />
manifest <strong>in</strong> these communities. Though belong<strong>in</strong>g to the humblest class, an unlearned<br />
and hard-work<strong>in</strong>g peasantry, the reform<strong>in</strong>g, uplift<strong>in</strong>g power of div<strong>in</strong>e grace was seen<br />
<strong>in</strong> their lives. Humble, lov<strong>in</strong>g, and holy, they stood as witnesses to what the gospel<br />
will accomplish for those who receive it <strong>in</strong> s<strong>in</strong>cerity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> light k<strong>in</strong>dled at Meaux shed its beams afar. Every day the number of<br />
converts was <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong> rage of the hierarchy was for a time held <strong>in</strong> check <strong>by</strong> the<br />
k<strong>in</strong>g, who despised the narrow bigotry of the monks; but the papal leaders f<strong>in</strong>ally<br />
prevailed. Now the stake was set up. <strong>The</strong> bishop of Meaux, forced to choose between<br />
the fire and recantation, accepted the easier path; but notwithstand<strong>in</strong>g the leader's<br />
fall, his flock rema<strong>in</strong>ed steadfast. Many witnessed for the truth amid the flames. By<br />
their courage and fidelity at the stake, these humble Christians spoke to thousands<br />
who <strong>in</strong> days of peace had never heard their testimony.<br />
It was not alone the humble and the poor that amid suffer<strong>in</strong>g and scorn dared<br />
to bear witness for Christ. In the lordly halls of the castle and the palace there were<br />
k<strong>in</strong>gly souls <strong>by</strong> whom truth was valued above wealth or rank or even life. K<strong>in</strong>gly<br />
armor concealed a loftier and more steadfast spirit than did the bishop's robe and<br />
miter. Louis de Berqu<strong>in</strong> was of noble birth. A brave and courtly knight, he was devoted<br />
to study, polished <strong>in</strong> manners, and of blameless morals. "He was," says a writer, "a<br />
great follower of the papistical constitutions, and a great hearer of masses and<br />
sermons; . . . and he crowned all his other virtues <strong>by</strong> hold<strong>in</strong>g Lutheranism <strong>in</strong> special<br />
abhorrence." But, like so many others, providentially guided to the Bible, he was<br />
amazed to f<strong>in</strong>d there, "not the doctr<strong>in</strong>es of Rome, but the doctr<strong>in</strong>es of Luther."--Wylie,<br />
b. 13, ch. 9. Henceforth he gave himself with entire devotion to the cause of the gospel.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> most learned of the nobles of France," his genius and eloquence, his<br />
<strong>in</strong>domitable courage and heroic zeal, and his <strong>in</strong>fluence at court,--for he was a favorite<br />
with the k<strong>in</strong>g,-- caused him to be regarded <strong>by</strong> many as one dest<strong>in</strong>ed to be the Reformer<br />
of his country. Said Beza: "Berqu<strong>in</strong> would have been a second Luther, had he found<br />
