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 />
they had declared to be at hand was established <strong>by</strong> the death of Christ. This k<strong>in</strong>gdom<br />
was not, as they had been taught to believe, an earthly empire. Nor was it that future,<br />
immortal k<strong>in</strong>gdom which shall be set up when "the k<strong>in</strong>gdom and dom<strong>in</strong>ion, and the<br />
greatness of the k<strong>in</strong>gdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the<br />
sa<strong>in</strong>ts of the Most High;" that everlast<strong>in</strong>g k<strong>in</strong>gdom, <strong>in</strong> which "all dom<strong>in</strong>ions shall<br />
serve and obey Him." Daniel 7:27.<br />
As used <strong>in</strong> the Bible, the expression "k<strong>in</strong>gdom of God" is employed to designate<br />
both the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of grace and the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of glory. <strong>The</strong> k<strong>in</strong>gdom of grace is brought<br />
to view <strong>by</strong> Paul <strong>in</strong> the Epistle to the Hebrews. After po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g to Christ, the<br />
compassionate <strong>in</strong>tercessor who is "touched with the feel<strong>in</strong>g of our <strong>in</strong>firmities," the<br />
apostle says: "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may<br />
obta<strong>in</strong> mercy, and f<strong>in</strong>d grace." Hebrews 4:15, 16. <strong>The</strong> throne of grace represents the<br />
k<strong>in</strong>gdom of grace; for the existence of a throne implies the existence of a k<strong>in</strong>gdom. In<br />
many of His parables Christ uses the expression "the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of heaven" to designate<br />
the work of div<strong>in</strong>e grace upon the hearts of men.<br />
So the throne of glory represents the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of glory; and this k<strong>in</strong>gdom is<br />
referred to <strong>in</strong> the Saviour's words: "When the Son of man shall come <strong>in</strong> His glory, and<br />
all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before<br />
Him shall be gathered all nations." Matthew 25:31, 32. This k<strong>in</strong>gdom is yet future. It<br />
is not to be set up until the second advent of Christ. <strong>The</strong> k<strong>in</strong>gdom of grace was<br />
<strong>in</strong>stituted immediately after the fall of man, when a plan was devised for the<br />
redemption of the guilty race. It then existed <strong>in</strong> the purpose and <strong>by</strong> the promise of<br />
God; and through faith, men could become its subjects. Yet it was not actually<br />
established until the death of<br />
Christ. Even after enter<strong>in</strong>g upon His earthly mission, the Saviour, wearied with<br />
the stubbornness and <strong>in</strong>gratitude of men, might have drawn back from the sacrifice<br />
of Calvary. In Gethsemane the cup of woe trembled <strong>in</strong> His hand. He might even then<br />
have wiped the blood-sweat from His brow and have left the guilty race to perish <strong>in</strong><br />
their <strong>in</strong>iquity. Had He done this, there could have been no redemption for fallen men.<br />
But when the Saviour yielded up His life, and with His expir<strong>in</strong>g breath cried out, "It<br />
is f<strong>in</strong>ished," then the fulfillment of the plan of redemption was assured. <strong>The</strong> promise<br />
