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 />
God did not forsake His people; His Spirit still abode with those who did not<br />
rashly deny the light which they had received, and denounce the advent movement.<br />
In the Epistle to the Hebrews are words of encouragement and warn<strong>in</strong>g for the tried,<br />
wait<strong>in</strong>g ones at this crisis: "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great<br />
recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will<br />
of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come<br />
will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live <strong>by</strong> faith: but if any man draw<br />
back, My soul shall have no pleasure <strong>in</strong> him. But we are not of them who draw back<br />
unto perdition; but of them that believe to the sav<strong>in</strong>g of the soul." Hebrews 10:3539.<br />
That this admonition is addressed to the church <strong>in</strong> the last days is evident from<br />
the words po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g to the nearness of the Lord's com<strong>in</strong>g: "For yet a little while, and<br />
He that shall come will come and will not tarry." And it is pla<strong>in</strong>ly implied that there<br />
would be a seem<strong>in</strong>g delay and that the Lord would appear to tarry. <strong>The</strong> <strong>in</strong>struction<br />
here given is especially adapted to the experience of Adventists at this time. <strong>The</strong><br />
people here addressed were <strong>in</strong> danger of mak<strong>in</strong>g shipwreck of faith. <strong>The</strong>y had done<br />
the will of God <strong>in</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g the guidance of His Spirit and His word; yet they could<br />
not understand His purpose <strong>in</strong> their past experience, nor could they discern the<br />
pathway before them, and they were tempted to doubt whether God had <strong>in</strong>deed been<br />
lead<strong>in</strong>g them. At this time the words were applicable: "Now the just shall live <strong>by</strong><br />
faith." As the bright light of the "midnight cry" had shone upon their pathway, and<br />
they had seen the prophecies unsealed and the rapidly fulfill<strong>in</strong>g signs tell<strong>in</strong>g that the<br />
com<strong>in</strong>g of Christ was near, they had walked, as it were, <strong>by</strong> sight. But now, bowed<br />
down <strong>by</strong> disappo<strong>in</strong>ted hopes, they could stand only <strong>by</strong> faith <strong>in</strong> God and <strong>in</strong> His word.<br />
<strong>The</strong> scoff<strong>in</strong>g world were say<strong>in</strong>g: "You have been deceived. Give up your faith, and say<br />
that the advent movement was of Satan." But God's word declared: "If any man draw<br />
back, My soul shall have no pleasure <strong>in</strong> him." To renounce their faith now, and deny<br />
the power of the Holy Spirit which had attended the message, would be draw<strong>in</strong>g back<br />
toward perdition. <strong>The</strong>y were encouraged to steadfastness <strong>by</strong> the words of Paul: "Cast<br />
not away therefore your confidence;" "ye have need of patience," "for yet a little while,<br />
and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry." <strong>The</strong>ir only safe course was to<br />
cherish the light which they had already received of God, hold fast to His promises,<br />
and cont<strong>in</strong>ue to search the Scriptures, and patiently wait and watch to receive further<br />
light.<br />
