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 />
do all who cherish evil under a profession of godl<strong>in</strong>ess hate those who disturb their<br />
peace <strong>by</strong> condemn<strong>in</strong>g their course of s<strong>in</strong>. When a favorable opportunity is presented,<br />
they will, like Judas, betray those who for their good have sought to reprove them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> apostles encountered those <strong>in</strong> the church who professed godl<strong>in</strong>ess while they<br />
were secretly cherish<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>iquity. Ananias and Sapphira acted the part of deceivers,<br />
pretend<strong>in</strong>g to make an entire sacrifice for God, when they were covetously<br />
withhold<strong>in</strong>g a portion for themselves. <strong>The</strong> Spirit of truth revealed to the apostles the<br />
real character of these pretenders, and the judgments of God rid the church of this<br />
foul blot upon its purity. This signal evidence of the discern<strong>in</strong>g Spirit of Christ <strong>in</strong> the<br />
church was a terror to hypocrites and evildoers. <strong>The</strong>y could not long rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />
connection with those who were, <strong>in</strong> habit and disposition, constant representatives of<br />
Christ; and as trials and persecution came upon His followers, those only who were<br />
will<strong>in</strong>g to forsake all for the truth's sake desired to become His disciples. Thus, as long<br />
as persecution cont<strong>in</strong>ued, the church rema<strong>in</strong>ed comparatively pure. But as it ceased,<br />
converts were added who were less s<strong>in</strong>cere and devoted, and the way was open for<br />
Satan to obta<strong>in</strong> a foothold.<br />
But there is no union between the Pr<strong>in</strong>ce of light and the pr<strong>in</strong>ce of darkness, and<br />
there can be no union between their followers. When Christians consented to unite<br />
with those who were but half converted from paganism, they entered upon a path<br />
which led further and further from the truth. Satan exulted that he had succeeded <strong>in</strong><br />
deceiv<strong>in</strong>g so large a number of the followers of Christ. He then brought his power to<br />
bear more fully upon these, and <strong>in</strong>spired them to persecute those who rema<strong>in</strong>ed true<br />
to God. None understood so well how to oppose the true Christian faith as did those<br />
who had once been its defenders; and these apostate Christians, unit<strong>in</strong>g with their<br />
half-pagan companions, directed their warfare aga<strong>in</strong>st the most essential features of<br />
the doctr<strong>in</strong>es of Christ.<br />
It required a desperate struggle for those who would be faithful to stand firm<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st the deceptions and abom<strong>in</strong>ations which were disguised <strong>in</strong> sacerdotal<br />
garments and <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>in</strong>to the church. <strong>The</strong> Bible was not accepted as the standard<br />
of faith. <strong>The</strong> doctr<strong>in</strong>e of religious freedom was termed heresy, and its upholders were<br />
hated and proscribed. After a long and severe conflict, the faithful few decided to<br />
dissolve all union with the apostate church if she still refused to free herself from<br />
