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 />

24:30, 27. He is to be accompanied <strong>by</strong> all the hosts of heaven. "<strong>The</strong> Son of man shall<br />

come <strong>in</strong> His glory, and all the holy angels with Him." Matthew 25:31. "And He shall<br />

send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His<br />

elect." Matthew 24:31.<br />

At His com<strong>in</strong>g the righteous dead will be raised, and the righteous liv<strong>in</strong>g will be<br />

changed. "We shall not all sleep," says Paul, "but we shall all be changed, <strong>in</strong> a moment,<br />

<strong>in</strong> the tw<strong>in</strong>kl<strong>in</strong>g of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the<br />

dead shall be raised <strong>in</strong>corruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must<br />

put on <strong>in</strong>corruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." 1 Cor<strong>in</strong>thians 15:51-<br />

53. And <strong>in</strong> his letter to the <strong>The</strong>ssalonians, after describ<strong>in</strong>g the com<strong>in</strong>g of the Lord, he<br />

says: "<strong>The</strong> dead <strong>in</strong> Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and rema<strong>in</strong> shall be<br />

caught up together with them <strong>in</strong> the clouds, to meet the Lord <strong>in</strong> the air: and so shall<br />

we ever be with the Lord." 1 <strong>The</strong>ssalonians 4:16, 17.<br />

Not until the personal advent of Christ can His people receive the k<strong>in</strong>gdom. <strong>The</strong><br />

Saviour said: "When the Son of man shall come <strong>in</strong> His glory, and all the holy angels<br />

with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be<br />

gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd<br />

divideth his sheep from the goats: and He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but<br />

the goats on the left. <strong>The</strong>n shall the K<strong>in</strong>g say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye<br />

blessed of My Father, <strong>in</strong>herit the k<strong>in</strong>gdom prepared for you from the foundation of the<br />

world." Matthew 25:31-34. We have seen <strong>by</strong> the scriptures just given that when the<br />

Son of man comes, the dead are raised <strong>in</strong>corruptible and the liv<strong>in</strong>g are changed. By<br />

this great change they are prepared to receive the k<strong>in</strong>gdom; for Paul says: "Flesh and<br />

blood cannot <strong>in</strong>herit the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of God; neither doth corruption <strong>in</strong>herit<br />

<strong>in</strong>corruption." 1 Cor<strong>in</strong>thians 15:50. Man <strong>in</strong> his present state is mortal, corruptible;<br />

but the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of God will be <strong>in</strong>corruptible, endur<strong>in</strong>g forever. <strong>The</strong>refore man <strong>in</strong> his<br />

present state cannot enter <strong>in</strong>to the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of God. But when Jesus comes, He confers<br />

immortality upon His people; and then He calls them to <strong>in</strong>herit the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of which<br />

they have hitherto been only heirs.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se and other scriptures clearly proved to Miller's m<strong>in</strong>d that the events which<br />

were generally expected to take place before the com<strong>in</strong>g of Christ, such as the<br />

universal reign of peace and the sett<strong>in</strong>g up of the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of God upon the earth,<br />
