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 />
<strong>The</strong> matchless splendor of the earthly tabernacle reflected to human vision the<br />
glories of that heavenly temple where Christ our forerunner m<strong>in</strong>isters for us before<br />
the throne of God. <strong>The</strong> abid<strong>in</strong>g place of the K<strong>in</strong>g of k<strong>in</strong>gs, where thousand thousands<br />
m<strong>in</strong>ister unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stand before Him (Daniel<br />
7:10); that temple, filled with the glory of the eternal throne, where seraphim, its<br />
sh<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g guardians, veil their faces <strong>in</strong> adoration, could f<strong>in</strong>d, <strong>in</strong> the most magnificent<br />
structure ever reared <strong>by</strong> human hands, but a fa<strong>in</strong>t reflection of its vastness and glory.<br />
Yet important truths concern<strong>in</strong>g the heavenly sanctuary and the great work there<br />
carried forward for man's redemption were taught <strong>by</strong> the earthly sanctuary and its<br />
services.<br />
<strong>The</strong> holy places of the sanctuary <strong>in</strong> heaven are represented <strong>by</strong> the two<br />
apartments <strong>in</strong> the sanctuary on earth. As <strong>in</strong> vision the apostle John was granted a<br />
view of the temple of God <strong>in</strong> heaven, he beheld there "seven lamps of fire burn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
before the throne." Revelation 4:5. He saw an angel "hav<strong>in</strong>g a golden censer; and there<br />
was given unto him much <strong>in</strong>cense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all sa<strong>in</strong>ts<br />
upon the golden altar which was before the throne." Revelation 8:3. Here the prophet<br />
was permitted to behold the first apartment of the sanctuary <strong>in</strong> heaven; and he saw<br />
there the "seven lamps of fire" and "the golden altar," represented <strong>by</strong> the golden<br />
candlestick and the altar of <strong>in</strong>cense <strong>in</strong> the sanctuary on earth. Aga<strong>in</strong>, "the temple of<br />
God was opened" (Revelation 11:19), and he looked with<strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>ner veil, upon the<br />
holy of holies. Here he beheld "the ark of His testament," represented <strong>by</strong> the sacred<br />
chest constructed <strong>by</strong> Moses to conta<strong>in</strong> the law of God.<br />
Thus those who were study<strong>in</strong>g the subject found <strong>in</strong>disputable proof of the<br />
existence of a sanctuary <strong>in</strong> heaven. Moses made the earthly sanctuary after a pattern<br />
which was shown him. Paul teaches that that pattern was the true sanctuary which<br />
is <strong>in</strong> heaven. And John testifies that he saw it <strong>in</strong> heaven. In the temple <strong>in</strong> heaven,<br />
the dwell<strong>in</strong>g place of God, His throne is established <strong>in</strong> righteousness and judgment.<br />
In the most holy place is His law, the great rule of right <strong>by</strong> which all mank<strong>in</strong>d are<br />
tested. <strong>The</strong> ark that enshr<strong>in</strong>es the tables of the law is covered with the mercy seat,<br />
before which Christ pleads His blood <strong>in</strong> the s<strong>in</strong>ner's behalf. Thus is represented the<br />
union of justice and mercy <strong>in</strong> the plan of human redemption.<br />
