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 />
were to be subsequent to the second advent. Furthermore, all the signs of the times<br />
and the condition of the world corresponded to the prophetic description of the last<br />
days. He was forced to the conclusion, from the study of Scripture alone, that the<br />
period allotted for the cont<strong>in</strong>uance of the earth <strong>in</strong> its present state was about to close.<br />
"Another k<strong>in</strong>d of evidence that vitally affected my m<strong>in</strong>d," he says, "was the<br />
chronology of the Scriptures. . . . I found that predicted events, which had been<br />
fulfilled <strong>in</strong> the past, often occurred with<strong>in</strong> a given time. <strong>The</strong> one hundred and twenty<br />
years to the flood (Genesis 6:3); the seven days that were to precede it, with forty days<br />
of predicted ra<strong>in</strong> (Genesis 7:4); the four hundred years of the sojourn of Abraham's<br />
seed (Genesis 15:13); the three days of the butler's and baker's dreams (Genesis 40:12-<br />
20); the seven years of Pharaoh's (Genesis 41:28-54); the forty years <strong>in</strong> the wilderness<br />
(Numbers 14:34); the three and a half years of fam<strong>in</strong>e (1 K<strong>in</strong>gs 17:1) [see Luke<br />
4:25;] . . . the seventy years' captivity (Jeremiah 25:11); Nebuchadnezzar's seven times<br />
(Daniel 4:13-16); and the seven weeks, threescore and two weeks, and the one week,<br />
mak<strong>in</strong>g seventy weeks, determ<strong>in</strong>ed upon the Jews (Daniel 9:24-27),--the events<br />
limited <strong>by</strong> these times were all once only a matter of prophecy, and were fulfilled <strong>in</strong><br />
accordance with the predictions."--Bliss, pages 74, 75.<br />
When, therefore, he found, <strong>in</strong> his study of the Bible, various chronological<br />
periods that, accord<strong>in</strong>g to his understand<strong>in</strong>g of them, extended to the second com<strong>in</strong>g<br />
of Christ, he could not but regard them as the "times before appo<strong>in</strong>ted," which God<br />
had revealed unto His servants. "<strong>The</strong> secret th<strong>in</strong>gs," says Moses, "belong unto the<br />
Lord our God: but those th<strong>in</strong>gs which are revealed belong unto us and to our children<br />
forever;" and the Lord declares <strong>by</strong> the prophet Amos, that He "will do noth<strong>in</strong>g, but He<br />
revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets." Deuteronomy 29:29; Amos 3:7.<br />
<strong>The</strong> students of God's word may, then, confidently expect to f<strong>in</strong>d the most stupendous<br />
event to take place <strong>in</strong> human history clearly po<strong>in</strong>ted out <strong>in</strong> the Scriptures of truth.<br />
"As I was fully conv<strong>in</strong>ced," says Miller, "that all Scripture given <strong>by</strong> <strong>in</strong>spiration<br />
of God is profitable (2 Timothy 3:16); that it came not at any time <strong>by</strong> the will of man,<br />
but was written as holy men were moved <strong>by</strong> the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21), and was<br />
written 'for our learn<strong>in</strong>g, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures<br />
might have hope' (Romans 15:4), I could but regard the chronological portions of the<br />
Bible as be<strong>in</strong>g as much a portion of the word of God, and as much entitled to our<br />
