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 />
reproach and ridicule. A large class who had professed to believe <strong>in</strong> the Lord's soon<br />
com<strong>in</strong>g, renounced their faith. Some who had been very confident were so deeply<br />
wounded <strong>in</strong> their pride that they felt like flee<strong>in</strong>g from the world. Like Jonah, they<br />
compla<strong>in</strong>ed of God, and chose death rather than life. Those who had based their faith<br />
upon the op<strong>in</strong>ions of others, and not upon the word of God, were now as ready aga<strong>in</strong><br />
to change their views. <strong>The</strong> scoffers won the weak and cowardly to their ranks, and all<br />
these united <strong>in</strong> declar<strong>in</strong>g that there could be no more fears or expectations now. <strong>The</strong><br />
time had passed, the Lord had not come, and the world might rema<strong>in</strong> the same for<br />
thousands of years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> earnest, s<strong>in</strong>cere believers had given up all for Christ and had shared His<br />
presence as never before. <strong>The</strong>y had, as they believed, given their last warn<strong>in</strong>g to the<br />
world; and, expect<strong>in</strong>g soon to be received <strong>in</strong>to the society of their div<strong>in</strong>e Master and<br />
the heavenly angels, they had, to a great extent, withdrawn from the society of those<br />
who did not receive the message. With <strong>in</strong>tense desire they had prayed: "Come, Lord<br />
Jesus, and come quickly." But He had not come. And now to take up aga<strong>in</strong> the heavy<br />
burden of life's cares and perplexities, and to endure the taunts and sneers of a<br />
scoff<strong>in</strong>g world, was a terrible trial of faith and patience.<br />
Yet this disappo<strong>in</strong>tment was not so great as was that experienced <strong>by</strong> the<br />
disciples at the time of Christ's first advent. When Jesus rode triumphantly <strong>in</strong>to<br />
Jerusalem, His followers believed that He was about to ascend the throne of David<br />
and deliver Israel from her oppressors. With high hopes and joyful anticipations they<br />
vied with one another <strong>in</strong> show<strong>in</strong>g honour to their K<strong>in</strong>g. Many spread their outer<br />
garments as a carpet <strong>in</strong> His path, or strewed before Him the leafy branches of the<br />
palm. In their enthusiastic joy they united <strong>in</strong> the glad acclaim: "Hosanna to the Son<br />
of David!" When the Pharisees, disturbed and angered <strong>by</strong> this outburst of rejoic<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
wished Jesus to rebuke His disciples, He replied: "If these should hold their peace, the<br />
stones would immediately cry out." Luke 19:40. <strong>Prophecy</strong> must be fulfilled. <strong>The</strong><br />
disciples were accomplish<strong>in</strong>g the purpose of God; yet they were doomed to a bitter<br />
disappo<strong>in</strong>tment. But a few days had passed ere they witnessed the Saviour's<br />
agoniz<strong>in</strong>g death, and laid Him <strong>in</strong> the tomb. <strong>The</strong>ir expectations had not been realized<br />
<strong>in</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle particular, and their hopes died with Jesus. Not till their Lord had come<br />
forth triumphant from the grave could they perceive that all had been foretold <strong>by</strong><br />
