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 />

betrayed, tortured, buried <strong>in</strong> dungeon cells, martyred for their faith, or compelled to<br />

flee to mounta<strong>in</strong> fastnesses, and to dens and caves of the earth--then the faithful<br />

witnesses prophesied <strong>in</strong> sackcloth. Yet they cont<strong>in</strong>ued their testimony throughout the<br />

entire period of 1260 years. In the darkest times there were faithful men who loved<br />

God's word and were jealous for His honour. To these loyal servants were given<br />

wisdom, power, and authority to declare His truth dur<strong>in</strong>g the whole of this time.<br />

"And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and<br />

devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must <strong>in</strong> this manner be<br />

killed." Revelation 11:5. Men cannot with impunity trample upon the word of God.<br />

<strong>The</strong> mean<strong>in</strong>g of this fearful denunciation is set forth <strong>in</strong> the clos<strong>in</strong>g chapter of the<br />

Revelation: "I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this<br />

book, If any man shall add unto these th<strong>in</strong>gs, God shall add unto him the plagues that<br />

are written <strong>in</strong> this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book<br />

of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the<br />

holy city, and from the th<strong>in</strong>gs which are written <strong>in</strong> this book." Revelation 22:18, 19.<br />

Such are the warn<strong>in</strong>gs which God has given to guard men aga<strong>in</strong>st chang<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

any manner that which He has revealed or commanded. <strong>The</strong>se solemn denunciations<br />

apply to all who <strong>by</strong> their <strong>in</strong>fluence lead men to regard lightly the law of God. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

should cause those to fear and tremble who flippantly declare it a matter of little<br />

consequence whether we obey God's law or not. All who exalt their own op<strong>in</strong>ions above<br />

div<strong>in</strong>e revelation, all who would change the pla<strong>in</strong> mean<strong>in</strong>g of Scripture to suit their<br />

own convenience, or for the sake of conform<strong>in</strong>g to the world, are tak<strong>in</strong>g upon<br />

themselves a fearful responsibility. <strong>The</strong> written word, the law of God, will measure<br />

the character of every man and condemn all whom this unerr<strong>in</strong>g test shall declare<br />

want<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

"When they shall have f<strong>in</strong>ished [are f<strong>in</strong>ish<strong>in</strong>g] their testimony." <strong>The</strong> period when<br />

the two witnesses were to prophesy clothed <strong>in</strong> sackcloth, ended <strong>in</strong> 1798. As they were<br />

approach<strong>in</strong>g the term<strong>in</strong>ation of their work <strong>in</strong> obscurity, war was to be made upon<br />

them <strong>by</strong> the power represented as "the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit."<br />

In many of the nations of Europe the powers that ruled <strong>in</strong> church and state had for<br />

centuries been controlled <strong>by</strong> Satan through the medium of the papacy. But here is<br />

brought to view a new manifestation of satanic power.<br />
