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 />

Priest which cannot be touched with the feel<strong>in</strong>g of our <strong>in</strong>firmities; but was <strong>in</strong> all po<strong>in</strong>ts<br />

tempted like as we are, yet without s<strong>in</strong>. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of<br />

grace, that we may obta<strong>in</strong> mercy, and f<strong>in</strong>d grace to help <strong>in</strong> time of need (Hebrews 4:14-16)<br />

Says the prophet: "Who may abide the day of His com<strong>in</strong>g? and who shall stand<br />

when He appeareth? for He is like a ref<strong>in</strong>er's fire, and like fullers' soap: and He shall<br />

sit as a ref<strong>in</strong>er and purifier of silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge<br />

them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offer<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

righteousness." Malachi 3:2, 3. Those who are liv<strong>in</strong>g upon the earth when the<br />

<strong>in</strong>tercession of Christ shall cease <strong>in</strong> the sanctuary above are to stand <strong>in</strong> the sight of a<br />

holy God without a mediator. <strong>The</strong>ir robes must be spotless, their characters must be<br />

purified from s<strong>in</strong> <strong>by</strong> the blood of spr<strong>in</strong>kl<strong>in</strong>g. Through the grace of God and their own<br />

diligent effort they must be conquerors <strong>in</strong> the battle with evil. While the <strong>in</strong>vestigative<br />

judgment is go<strong>in</strong>g forward <strong>in</strong> heaven, while the s<strong>in</strong>s of penitent believers are be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

removed from the sanctuary, there is to be a special work of purification, of putt<strong>in</strong>g<br />

away of s<strong>in</strong>, among God's people upon earth. This work is more clearly presented <strong>in</strong><br />

the messages of Revelation 14.<br />

When this work shall have been accomplished, the followers of Christ will be<br />

ready for His appear<strong>in</strong>g. "<strong>The</strong>n shall the offer<strong>in</strong>g of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant<br />

unto the Lord, as <strong>in</strong> the days of old, and as <strong>in</strong> former years." Malachi 3:4. <strong>The</strong>n the<br />

church which our Lord at His com<strong>in</strong>g is to receive to Himself will be a "glorious church,<br />

not hav<strong>in</strong>g spot, or wr<strong>in</strong>kle, or any such th<strong>in</strong>g." Ephesians 5:27. <strong>The</strong>n she will look<br />

"forth as the morn<strong>in</strong>g, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with<br />

banners." Song of Solomon 6:10.<br />

Besides the com<strong>in</strong>g of the Lord to His temple, Malachi also foretells His second<br />

advent, His com<strong>in</strong>g for the execution of the judgment, <strong>in</strong> these words: "And I will come<br />

near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness aga<strong>in</strong>st the sorcerers, and<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st the adulterers, and aga<strong>in</strong>st false swearers, and aga<strong>in</strong>st those that oppress the<br />

hirel<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger<br />

from his right, and fear not Me, saith the Lord of hosts." Malachi 3:5. Jude refers to<br />

the same scene when he says, "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His<br />

sa<strong>in</strong>ts, to execute judgment upon all, and to conv<strong>in</strong>ce all that are ungodly among them<br />

of all their ungodly deeds." Jude 14, 15. This com<strong>in</strong>g, and the com<strong>in</strong>g of the Lord to<br />

His temple, are dist<strong>in</strong>ct and separate events. <strong>The</strong> com<strong>in</strong>g of Christ as our high priest<br />
