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 />
-G. A. Townsend, <strong>The</strong> New World Compared With the Old, page 462. A <strong>European</strong><br />
journal <strong>in</strong> 1850 spoke of the United States as a wonderful empire, which was<br />
"emerg<strong>in</strong>g," and " amid the silence of the earth daily add<strong>in</strong>g to its power and pride." -<br />
-<strong>The</strong> Dubl<strong>in</strong> Nation . Edward Everett, <strong>in</strong> an oration on the Pilgrim founders of this<br />
nation, said: "Did they look for a retired spot, <strong>in</strong>offensive for its obscurity, and safe <strong>in</strong><br />
its remoteness, where the little church of Leyden might enjoy the freedom of<br />
conscience? Behold the mighty regions over which, <strong>in</strong> peaceful conquest, . . . they have<br />
borne the banners of the cross!"--Speech delivered at Plymouth, Massachusetts, Dec.<br />
22, 1824, page 11.<br />
"And he had two horns like a lamb." <strong>The</strong> lamblike horns <strong>in</strong>dicate youth,<br />
<strong>in</strong>nocence, and gentleness, fitly represent<strong>in</strong>g the character of the United States when<br />
presented to the prophet as "com<strong>in</strong>g up" <strong>in</strong> 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first<br />
fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly <strong>in</strong>tolerance<br />
were many who determ<strong>in</strong>ed to establish a government upon the broad foundation of<br />
civil and religious liberty. <strong>The</strong>ir views found place <strong>in</strong> the Declaration of Independence,<br />
which sets forth the great truth that "all men are created equal" and endowed with<br />
the <strong>in</strong>alienable right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happ<strong>in</strong>ess." And the<br />
Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, provid<strong>in</strong>g that<br />
representatives elected <strong>by</strong> the popular vote shall enact and adm<strong>in</strong>ister the laws.<br />
Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man be<strong>in</strong>g permitted to worship<br />
God accord<strong>in</strong>g to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism<br />
became the fundamental pr<strong>in</strong>ciples of the nation. <strong>The</strong>se pr<strong>in</strong>ciples are the secret of its<br />
power and prosperity. <strong>The</strong> oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have<br />
turned to this land with <strong>in</strong>terest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the<br />
United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth.<br />
But the beast with lamblike horns "spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the<br />
power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell<br />
there<strong>in</strong> to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed; . . . say<strong>in</strong>g to them<br />
that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the<br />
wound <strong>by</strong> a sword, and did live." Revelation 13:11-14. <strong>The</strong> lamblike horns and dragon<br />
voice of the symbol po<strong>in</strong>t to a strik<strong>in</strong>g contradiction between the professions and the<br />
practice of the nation thus represented. <strong>The</strong> "speak<strong>in</strong>g" of the nation is the action of<br />
its legislative and judicial authorities.<br />
