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

suppos<strong>in</strong>g that this would greatly h<strong>in</strong>der the work. But, on the contrary, the money<br />
thus furnished, purchased material for a new and better edition, which, but for this,<br />
could not have been published. When Tyndale was afterward made a prisoner, his<br />
liberty was offered him on condition that he would reveal the names of those who had<br />
helped him meet the expense of pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g his Bibles. He replied that the bishop of<br />
Durham had done more than any other person; for <strong>by</strong> pay<strong>in</strong>g a large price for the<br />
books left on hand, he had enabled him to go on with good courage.<br />
Tyndale was betrayed <strong>in</strong>to the hands of his enemies, and at one time suffered<br />
imprisonment for many months. He f<strong>in</strong>ally witnessed for his faith <strong>by</strong> a martyr's death;<br />
but the weapons which he prepared have enabled other soldiers to do battle through<br />
all the centuries even to our time. Latimer ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed from the pulpit that the Bible<br />
ought to be read <strong>in</strong> the language of the people. <strong>The</strong> Author of Holy Scripture, said he,<br />
"is God Himself;" and this Scripture partakes of the might and eternity of its Author.<br />
"<strong>The</strong>re is no k<strong>in</strong>g, emperor, magistrate, and ruler . . . but are bound to obey . . . His<br />
holy word." "Let us not take any <strong>by</strong>walks, but let God's word direct us: let us not walk<br />
after . . . our forefathers, nor seek not what they did, but what they should have done."-<br />
-Hugh Latimer, "First Sermon Preached Before K<strong>in</strong>g Edward VI."<br />
Barnes and Frith, the faithful friends of Tyndale, arose to defend the truth. <strong>The</strong><br />
Ridleys and Cranmer followed. <strong>The</strong>se leaders <strong>in</strong> the English Reformation were men<br />
of learn<strong>in</strong>g, and most of them had been highly esteemed for zeal or piety <strong>in</strong> the Romish<br />
communion. <strong>The</strong>ir opposition to the papacy was the result of their knowledge of the<br />
errors of the "holy see." <strong>The</strong>ir acqua<strong>in</strong>tance with the mysteries of Ba<strong>by</strong>lon gave<br />
greater power to their testimonies aga<strong>in</strong>st her.<br />
"Now I would ask a strange question," said Latimer. "Who is the most diligent<br />
bishop and prelate <strong>in</strong> all England? . . . I see you listen<strong>in</strong>g and hearken<strong>in</strong>g that I should<br />
name him. . . . I will tell you: it is the devil. . . . He is never out of his diocese; call for<br />
him when you will, he is ever at home; . . . he is ever at his plow. . . . Ye shall never<br />
f<strong>in</strong>d him idle, I warrant you. . . . Where the devil is resident, . . . there away with<br />
books, and up with candles; away with Bibles, and up with beads; away with the light<br />
of the gospel, and up with the light of candles, yea, at noondays; . . . down with Christ's<br />
cross, up with purgatory pickpurse; . . . away with cloth<strong>in</strong>g the naked, the poor, and<br />
impotent, up with deck<strong>in</strong>g of images and gay garnish<strong>in</strong>g of stocks and stones; up with<br />
