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 />
of salvation made to the s<strong>in</strong>ful pair <strong>in</strong> Eden was ratified. <strong>The</strong> k<strong>in</strong>gdom of grace, which<br />
had before existed <strong>by</strong> the promise of God, was then established.<br />
Thus the death of Christ--the very event which the disciples had looked upon as<br />
the f<strong>in</strong>al destruction of their hope --was that which made it forever sure. While it had<br />
brought them a cruel disappo<strong>in</strong>tment, it was the climax of proof that their belief had<br />
been correct. <strong>The</strong> event that had filled them with mourn<strong>in</strong>g and despair was that<br />
which opened the door of hope to every child of Adam, and <strong>in</strong> which centered the future<br />
life and eternal happ<strong>in</strong>ess of all God's faithful ones <strong>in</strong> all the ages. Purposes of <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite<br />
mercy were reach<strong>in</strong>g their fulfillment, even though the disappo<strong>in</strong>tment of the<br />
disciples. While their hearts had been won <strong>by</strong> the div<strong>in</strong>e grace and power of His<br />
teach<strong>in</strong>g, who "spake as never man spake," yet <strong>in</strong>term<strong>in</strong>gled with the pure gold of<br />
their love for Jesus, was the base alloy of worldly pride and selfish ambitions. Even<br />
<strong>in</strong> the Passover chamber, at that solemn hour when their Master was already enter<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the shadow of Gethsemane, there was "a strife among them, which of them should be<br />
accounted the greatest." Luke 22:24.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir vision was filled with the throne, the crown, and the glory, while just<br />
before them lay the shame and agony of the garden, the judgment hall, the cross of<br />
Calvary. It was their pride of heart, their thirst for worldly glory, that had led them<br />
to cl<strong>in</strong>g so tenaciously to the false teach<strong>in</strong>g of their time, and to pass unheeded the<br />
Saviour's words show<strong>in</strong>g the true nature of His k<strong>in</strong>gdom, and po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g forward to His<br />
agony and death. And these error resulted <strong>in</strong> the trial--sharp but needful--which was<br />
permitted for their correction. Though the disciples had mistaken the mean<strong>in</strong>g of their<br />
message, and had failed to realize their expectations, yet they had preached the<br />
warn<strong>in</strong>g given them of God, and the Lord would reward their faith and honour their<br />
obedience. To them was to be entrusted the work of herald<strong>in</strong>g to all nations the<br />
glorious gospel of their risen Lord. It was to prepare them for this work that the<br />
experience which seemed to them so bitter had been permitted.<br />
After His resurrection Jesus appeared to His disciples on the way to Emmaus,<br />
and, "beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them <strong>in</strong> all the<br />
Scriptures the th<strong>in</strong>gs concern<strong>in</strong>g Himself." Luke 24:27. <strong>The</strong> hearts of the disciples<br />
were stirred. Faith was k<strong>in</strong>dled. <strong>The</strong>y were "begotten aga<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>to a lively hope" even<br />
before Jesus revealed Himself to them. It was His purpose to enlighten their<br />
