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 />
man's traditions and his laws, down with God's traditions and His most holy word. . . .<br />
O that our prelates would be as diligent to sow the corn of good doctr<strong>in</strong>e, as Satan is<br />
to sow cockle and darnel!"-- Ibid., "Sermon of the Plough."<br />
<strong>The</strong> grand pr<strong>in</strong>ciple ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>by</strong> these Reformers--the same that had been<br />
held <strong>by</strong> the Waldenses, <strong>by</strong> Wycliffe, <strong>by</strong> John Huss, <strong>by</strong> Luther, Zw<strong>in</strong>gli, and those who<br />
united with them--was the <strong>in</strong>fallible authority of the Holy Scriptures as a rule of faith<br />
and practice. <strong>The</strong>y denied the right of popes, councils, Fathers, and k<strong>in</strong>gs, to control<br />
the conscience <strong>in</strong> matters of religion. <strong>The</strong> Bible was their authority, and <strong>by</strong> its<br />
teach<strong>in</strong>g they tested all doctr<strong>in</strong>es and all claims. Faith <strong>in</strong> God and His word susta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
these holy men as they yielded up their lives at the stake. "Be of good comfort,"<br />
exclaimed Latimer to his fellow martyr as the flames were about to silence their voices,<br />
"we shall this day light such a candle, <strong>by</strong> God's grace, <strong>in</strong> England, as I trust shall<br />
never be put out." -- Works of Hugh Latimer, vol. 1, p. xiii.<br />
In Scotland the seeds of truth scattered <strong>by</strong> Columba and his colaborers had<br />
never been wholly destroyed. For hundreds of years after the churches of England<br />
submitted to Rome, those of Scotland ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed their freedom. In the twelfth<br />
century, however, popery became established here, and <strong>in</strong> no country did it exercise a<br />
more absolute sway. Nowhere was the darkness deeper. Still there came rays of light<br />
to pierce the gloom and give promise of the com<strong>in</strong>g day. <strong>The</strong> Lollards, com<strong>in</strong>g from<br />
England with the Bible and the teach<strong>in</strong>gs of Wycliffe, did much to preserve the<br />
knowledge of the gospel, and every century had its witnesses and martyrs.<br />
With the open<strong>in</strong>g of the Great Reformation came the writ<strong>in</strong>gs of Luther, and<br />
then Tyndale's English New Testament. Unnoticed <strong>by</strong> the hierarchy, these<br />
messengers silently traversed the mounta<strong>in</strong>s and valleys, k<strong>in</strong>dl<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to new life the<br />
torch of truth so nearly ext<strong>in</strong>guished <strong>in</strong> Scotland, and undo<strong>in</strong>g the work which Rome<br />
for four centuries of oppression had done. <strong>The</strong>n the blood of martyrs gave fresh<br />
impetus to the movement. <strong>The</strong> papist leaders, suddenly awaken<strong>in</strong>g to the danger that<br />
threatened their cause, brought to the stake some of the noblest and most honoured<br />
of the sons of Scotland. <strong>The</strong>y did but erect a pulpit, from which the words of these<br />
dy<strong>in</strong>g witnesses were heard throughout the land, thrill<strong>in</strong>g the souls of the people with<br />
an undy<strong>in</strong>g purpose to cast off the shackles of Rome.<br />
