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 />
would joyfully make it known to the <strong>in</strong>habitants of the earth. Christ had stooped to<br />
take upon Himself man's nature; He was to bear an <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite weight of woe as He<br />
should make His soul an offer<strong>in</strong>g for s<strong>in</strong>; yet angels desired that even <strong>in</strong> His<br />
humiliation the Son of the Highest might appear before men with a dignity and glory<br />
befitt<strong>in</strong>g His character. Would the great men of earth assemble at Israel's capital to<br />
greet His com<strong>in</strong>g? Would legions of angels present Him to the expectant company?<br />
An angel visits the earth to see who are prepared to welcome Jesus. But he can<br />
discern no tokens of expectancy. He hears no voice of praise and triumph that the<br />
period of Messiah's com<strong>in</strong>g is at hand. <strong>The</strong> angel hovers for a time over the chosen<br />
city and the temple where the div<strong>in</strong>e presence has been manifested for ages; but even<br />
here is the same <strong>in</strong>difference. <strong>The</strong> priests, <strong>in</strong> their pomp and pride, are offer<strong>in</strong>g<br />
polluted sacrifices <strong>in</strong> the temple. <strong>The</strong> Pharisees are with loud voices address<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
people or mak<strong>in</strong>g boastful prayers at the corners of the streets. In the palaces of k<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />
<strong>in</strong> the assemblies of philosophers, <strong>in</strong> the schools of the rabbis, all are alike unm<strong>in</strong>dful<br />
of the wondrous fact which has filled all heaven with joy and praise--that the<br />
Redeemer of men is about to appear upon the earth.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no evidence that Christ is expected, and no preparation for the Pr<strong>in</strong>ce<br />
of life. In amazement the celestial messenger is about to return to heaven with the<br />
shameful tid<strong>in</strong>gs, when he discovers a group of shepherds who are watch<strong>in</strong>g their<br />
flocks <strong>by</strong> night, and, as they gaze <strong>in</strong>to the starry heavens, are contemplat<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
prophecy of a Messiah to come to earth, and long<strong>in</strong>g for the advent of the world's<br />
Redeemer. Here is a company that is prepared to receive the heavenly message. And<br />
suddenly the angel of the Lord appears, declar<strong>in</strong>g the good tid<strong>in</strong>gs of great joy.<br />
Celestial glory floods all the pla<strong>in</strong>, an <strong>in</strong>numerable company of angels is revealed, and<br />
as if the joy were too great for one messenger to br<strong>in</strong>g from heaven, a multitude of<br />
voices break forth <strong>in</strong> the anthem which all the nations of the saved shall one day s<strong>in</strong>g:<br />
"Glory to God <strong>in</strong> the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:14.<br />
Oh, what a lesson is this wonderful story of Bethlehem! How it rebukes our<br />
unbelief, our pride and self-sufficiency. How it warns us to beware, lest <strong>by</strong> our<br />
crim<strong>in</strong>al <strong>in</strong>difference we also fail to discern the signs of the times, and therefore know<br />
not the day of our visitation. It was not alone upon the hills of Judea, not among the<br />
lowly shepherds only, that angels found the watchers for Messiah's com<strong>in</strong>g. In the<br />
