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 />
best possible condition. Every practice that weakens physical or mental strength<br />
unfits man for the service of his Creator. And will God be pleased with anyth<strong>in</strong>g less<br />
than the best we can offer? Said Christ: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all<br />
thy heart." Those who do love God with all the heart will desire to give Him the best<br />
service of their life, and they will be constantly seek<strong>in</strong>g to br<strong>in</strong>g every power of their<br />
be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to harmony with the laws that will promote their ability to do His will. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
will not, <strong>by</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dulgence of appetite or passion, enfeeble or defile the offer<strong>in</strong>g which<br />
they present to their heavenly Father.<br />
Peter says: "Absta<strong>in</strong> from fleshly lusts, which war aga<strong>in</strong>st the soul." 1 Peter 2:11.<br />
Every s<strong>in</strong>ful gratification tends to benumb the faculties and deaden the mental and<br />
spiritual perceptions, and the word or the Spirit of God can make but a feeble<br />
impression upon the heart. Paul writes to the Cor<strong>in</strong>thians: "Let us cleanse ourselves<br />
from all filth<strong>in</strong>ess of the flesh and spirit, perfect<strong>in</strong>g hol<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> the fear of God." 2<br />
Cor<strong>in</strong>thians 7:1. And with the fruits of the Spirit--"love, joy, peace, longsuffer<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness"--he classes "temperance." Galatians 5:22, 23.<br />
Notwithstand<strong>in</strong>g these <strong>in</strong>spired declarations, how many professed Christians<br />
are enfeebl<strong>in</strong>g their powers <strong>in</strong> the pursuit of ga<strong>in</strong> or the worship of fashion; how many<br />
are debas<strong>in</strong>g their godlike manhood <strong>by</strong> gluttony, <strong>by</strong> w<strong>in</strong>e dr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>by</strong> forbidden<br />
pleasure. And the church, <strong>in</strong>stead of rebuk<strong>in</strong>g, too often encourages the evil <strong>by</strong><br />
appeal<strong>in</strong>g to appetite, to desire for ga<strong>in</strong> or love of pleasure, to replenish her treasury,<br />
which love for Christ is too feeble to supply. Were Jesus to enter the churches of today<br />
and behold the feast<strong>in</strong>g and unholy traffic there conducted <strong>in</strong> the name of religion,<br />
would He not drive out those desecrators, as He banished the money-changers from<br />
the temple?<br />
<strong>The</strong> apostle James declares that the wisdom from above is "first pure." Had he<br />
encountered those who take the precious name of Jesus upon lips defiled <strong>by</strong> tobacco,<br />
those whose breath and person are contam<strong>in</strong>ated <strong>by</strong> its foul odor, and who pollute the<br />
air of heaven and force all about them to <strong>in</strong>hale the poison--had the apostle come <strong>in</strong><br />
contact with a practice so opposed to the purity of the gospel, would he not have<br />
denounced it as "earthly, sensual, devilish"? Slaves of tobacco, claim<strong>in</strong>g the bless<strong>in</strong>g<br />
of entire sanctification, talk of their hope of heaven; but God's word pla<strong>in</strong>ly declares<br />
that "there shall <strong>in</strong> no wise enter <strong>in</strong>to it anyth<strong>in</strong>g that defileth." Revelation 21:27.<br />
