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> host was carried <strong>by</strong> the bishop of Paris under a magnificent canopy, . . .<br />

supported <strong>by</strong> four pr<strong>in</strong>ces of the blood. . . . After the host walked the k<strong>in</strong>g. . . . Francis<br />

I on that day wore no crown, nor robe of state." With "head uncovered, his eyes cast<br />

on the ground, and <strong>in</strong> his hand a lighted taper," the k<strong>in</strong>g of France appeared "<strong>in</strong> the<br />

character of a penitent."-- Ibid., b. 13, ch. 21. At every altar he bowed down <strong>in</strong><br />

humiliation, nor for the vices that defiled his soul, nor the <strong>in</strong>nocent blood that sta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

his hands, but for the deadly s<strong>in</strong> of his subjects who had dared to condemn the mass.<br />

Follow<strong>in</strong>g him came the queen and the dignitaries of state, also walk<strong>in</strong>g two and two,<br />

each with a lighted torch.<br />

As a part of the services of the day the monarch himself addressed the high<br />

officials of the k<strong>in</strong>gdom <strong>in</strong> the great hall of the bishop's palace. With a sorrowful<br />

countenance he appeared before them and <strong>in</strong> words of mov<strong>in</strong>g eloquence bewailed "the<br />

crime, the blasphemy, the day of sorrow and disgrace," that had come upon the nation.<br />

And he called upon every loyal subject to aid <strong>in</strong> the extirpation of the pestilent heresy<br />

that threatened France with ru<strong>in</strong>. "As true, messieurs, as I am your k<strong>in</strong>g," he said, "if<br />

I knew one of my own limbs spotted or <strong>in</strong>fected with this detestable rottenness, I<br />

would give it you to cut off. . . . And further, if I saw one of my children defiled <strong>by</strong> it, I<br />

would not spare him. . . . I would deliver him up myself, and would sacrifice him to<br />

God." Tears choked his utterance, and the whole assembly wept, with one accord<br />

exclaim<strong>in</strong>g: "We will live and die for the Catholic religion!"--D'Aubigne, History of the<br />

Reformation <strong>in</strong> Europe <strong>in</strong> the Time of Calv<strong>in</strong>, b. 4, ch. 12.<br />

Terrible had become the darkness of the nation that had rejected the light of<br />

truth. <strong>The</strong> grace "that br<strong>in</strong>geth salvation" had appeared; but France, after behold<strong>in</strong>g<br />

its power and hol<strong>in</strong>ess, after thousands had been drawn <strong>by</strong> its div<strong>in</strong>e beauty, after<br />

cities and hamlets had been illum<strong>in</strong>ated <strong>by</strong> its radiance, had turned away, choos<strong>in</strong>g<br />

darkness rather than light. <strong>The</strong>y had put from them the heavenly gift when it was<br />

offered them. <strong>The</strong>y had called evil good, and good evil, till they had fallen victims to<br />

their willful self-deception. Now, though they might actually believe that they were<br />

do<strong>in</strong>g God service <strong>in</strong> persecut<strong>in</strong>g His people, yet their s<strong>in</strong>cerity did not render them<br />

guiltless. <strong>The</strong> light that would have saved them from deception, from sta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g their<br />

souls with bloodguilt<strong>in</strong>ess, they had willfully rejected.<br />
