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>in</strong> with Him to the marriage: and the door was shut." <strong>The</strong>y were not to be present <strong>in</strong><br />
person at the marriage; for it takes place <strong>in</strong> heaven, while they are upon the earth.<br />
<strong>The</strong> followers of Christ are to "wait for their Lord, when He will return from the<br />
wedd<strong>in</strong>g." Luke 12:36. But they are to understand His work, and to follow Him <strong>by</strong><br />
faith as He goes <strong>in</strong> before God. It is <strong>in</strong> this sense that they are said to go <strong>in</strong> to the<br />
marriage.<br />
In the parable it was those that had oil <strong>in</strong> their vessels with their lamps that<br />
went <strong>in</strong> to the marriage. Those who, with a knowledge of the truth from the Scriptures,<br />
had also the Spirit and grace of God, and who, <strong>in</strong> the night of their bitter trial, had<br />
patiently waited, search<strong>in</strong>g the Bible for clearer light-these saw the truth concern<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the sanctuary <strong>in</strong> heaven and the Saviour's change <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>istration, and <strong>by</strong> faith they<br />
followed Him <strong>in</strong> His work <strong>in</strong> the sanctuary above. And all who through the testimony<br />
of the Scriptures accept the same truths, follow<strong>in</strong>g Christ <strong>by</strong> faith as He enters <strong>in</strong><br />
before God to perform the last work of mediation, and at its close to receive His<br />
k<strong>in</strong>gdom--all these are represented as go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> to the marriage.<br />
In the parable of Matthew 22 the same figure of the marriage is <strong>in</strong>troduced, and<br />
the <strong>in</strong>vestigative judgment is clearly represented as tak<strong>in</strong>g place before the marriage.<br />
Previous to the wedd<strong>in</strong>g the k<strong>in</strong>g comes <strong>in</strong> to see the guests, to see if all are attired <strong>in</strong><br />
the wedd<strong>in</strong>g garment, the spotless robe of character washed and made white <strong>in</strong> the<br />
blood of the Lamb. Matthew 22:11; Revelation 7:14. He who is found want<strong>in</strong>g is cast<br />
out, but all who upon exam<strong>in</strong>ation are seen to have the wedd<strong>in</strong>g garment on are<br />
accepted of God and accounted worthy of a share <strong>in</strong> His k<strong>in</strong>gdom and a seat upon His<br />
throne. This work of exam<strong>in</strong>ation of character, of determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g who are prepared for<br />
the k<strong>in</strong>gdom of God, is that of the <strong>in</strong>vestigative judgment, the clos<strong>in</strong>g of work <strong>in</strong> the<br />
sanctuary above.<br />
When the work of <strong>in</strong>vestigation shall be ended, when the cases of those who <strong>in</strong><br />
all ages have professed to be followers of Christ have been exam<strong>in</strong>ed and decided,<br />
then, and not till then, probation will close, and the door of mercy will be shut. Thus<br />
<strong>in</strong> the one short sentence, "<strong>The</strong>y that were ready went <strong>in</strong> with Him to the marriage:<br />
and the door was shut," we are carried down through the Saviour's f<strong>in</strong>al m<strong>in</strong>istration,<br />
to the time when the great work for man's salvation shall be completed.<br />
