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 />

consecration to God? <strong>The</strong> converts do not renounce their pride and love of the world.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are no more will<strong>in</strong>g to deny self, to take up the cross, and follow the meek and<br />

lowly Jesus, than before their conversion. Religion has become the sport of <strong>in</strong>fidels<br />

and skeptics because so many who bear its name are ignorant of its pr<strong>in</strong>ciples. <strong>The</strong><br />

power of godl<strong>in</strong>ess has well-nigh departed from many of the churches. Picnics, church<br />

theatricals, church fairs, f<strong>in</strong>e houses, personal display, have banished thoughts of God.<br />

Lands and goods and worldly occupations engross the m<strong>in</strong>d, and th<strong>in</strong>gs of eternal<br />

<strong>in</strong>terest receive hardly a pass<strong>in</strong>g notice.<br />

Notwithstand<strong>in</strong>g the widespread declension of faith and piety, there are true<br />

followers of Christ <strong>in</strong> these churches. Before the f<strong>in</strong>al visitation of God's judgments<br />

upon the earth there will be among the people of the Lord such a revival of primitive<br />

godl<strong>in</strong>ess as has not been witnessed s<strong>in</strong>ce apostolic times. <strong>The</strong> Spirit and power of<br />

God will be poured out upon His children. At that time many will separate themselves<br />

from those churches <strong>in</strong> which the love of this world has supplanted love for God and<br />

His word. Many, both of m<strong>in</strong>isters and people, will gladly accept those great truths<br />

which God has caused to be proclaimed at this time to prepare a people for the Lord's<br />

second com<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong> enemy of souls desires to h<strong>in</strong>der this work; and before the time<br />

for such a movement shall come, he will endeavour to prevent it <strong>by</strong> <strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g a<br />

counterfeit. In those churches which he can br<strong>in</strong>g under his deceptive power he will<br />

make it appear that God's special bless<strong>in</strong>g is poured out; there will be manifest what<br />

is thought to be great religious <strong>in</strong>terest. Multitudes will exult that God is work<strong>in</strong>g<br />

marvellously for them, when the work is that of another spirit. Under a religious guise,<br />

Satan will seek to extend his <strong>in</strong>fluence over the Christian world.<br />

In many of the revivals which have occurred dur<strong>in</strong>g the last half century, the<br />

same <strong>in</strong>fluences have been at work, to a greater or less degree, that will be manifest<br />

<strong>in</strong> the more extensive movements of the future. <strong>The</strong>re is an emotional excitement, a<br />

m<strong>in</strong>gl<strong>in</strong>g of the true with the false, that is well adapted to mislead. Yet none need be<br />

deceived. In the light of God's word it is not difficult to determ<strong>in</strong>e the nature of these<br />

movements. Wherever men neglect the testimony of the Bible, turn<strong>in</strong>g away from<br />

those pla<strong>in</strong>, soul-test<strong>in</strong>g truths which require self-denial and renunciation of the<br />

world, there we may be sure that God's bless<strong>in</strong>g is not bestowed.<br />
