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

long afterward, <strong>by</strong> the public burn<strong>in</strong>g of the Bible. On one occasion "the Popular<br />
Society of the Museum" entered the hall of the municipality, exclaim<strong>in</strong>g, "Vive la<br />
Raison!" and carry<strong>in</strong>g on the top of a pole the half-burned rema<strong>in</strong>s of several books,<br />
among others breviaries, missals, and the Old and New Testaments, which "expiated<br />
<strong>in</strong> a great fire," said the president, "all the fooleries which they have made the human<br />
race commit."-- Journal of Paris, 1793, No. 318. Quoted <strong>in</strong> Buchez-Roux, Collection of<br />
Parliamentary History, vol. 30, pp. 200, 201.<br />
It was popery that had begun the work which atheism was complet<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong><br />
policy of Rome had wrought out those conditions, social, political, and religious, that<br />
were hurry<strong>in</strong>g France on to ru<strong>in</strong>. Writers, <strong>in</strong> referr<strong>in</strong>g to the horrors of the Revolution,<br />
say that these excesses are to be charged upon the throne and the church. (See<br />
Appendix.) In strict justice they are to be charged upon the church. Popery had<br />
poisoned the m<strong>in</strong>ds of k<strong>in</strong>gs aga<strong>in</strong>st the Reformation, as an enemy to the crown, an<br />
element of discord that would be fatal to the peace and harmony of the nation. It was<br />
the genius of Rome that <strong>by</strong> this means <strong>in</strong>spired the direst cruelty and the most gall<strong>in</strong>g<br />
oppression which proceeded from the throne.<br />
<strong>The</strong> spirit of liberty went with the Bible. Wherever the gospel was received, the<br />
m<strong>in</strong>ds of the people were awakened. <strong>The</strong>y began to cast off the shackles that had held<br />
them bondslaves of ignorance, vice, and superstition. <strong>The</strong>y began to th<strong>in</strong>k and act as<br />
men. Monarchs saw it and trembled for their despotism. Rome was not slow to<br />
<strong>in</strong>flame their jealous fears. Said the pope to the regent of France <strong>in</strong> 1525: "This mania<br />
[Protestantism] will not only confound and destroy religion, but all pr<strong>in</strong>cipalities,<br />
nobility, laws, orders, and ranks besides."-- G. de Felice, History of the Protestants of<br />
France, b. 1, ch. 2, par. 8. A few years later a papal nuncio warned the k<strong>in</strong>g: "Sire, be<br />
not deceived. <strong>The</strong> Protestants will upset all civil as well as religious order. . . . <strong>The</strong><br />
throne is <strong>in</strong> as much danger as the altar. . . . <strong>The</strong> <strong>in</strong>troduction of a new religion must<br />
necessarily <strong>in</strong>troduce a new government."-D'Aubigne, History of the Reformation <strong>in</strong><br />
Europe <strong>in</strong> the Time of Calv<strong>in</strong>, b. 2, ch. 36.<br />
And theologians appealed to the prejudices of the people <strong>by</strong> declar<strong>in</strong>g that the<br />
Protestant doctr<strong>in</strong>e "entices men away to novelties and folly; it robs the k<strong>in</strong>g of the<br />
devoted affection of his subjects, and devastates both church and state." Thus Rome<br />
succeeded <strong>in</strong> array<strong>in</strong>g France aga<strong>in</strong>st the Reformation. "It was to uphold the throne,<br />
