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 />
"Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is <strong>in</strong> you,<br />
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? for ye are bought with a price:<br />
therefore glorify God <strong>in</strong> your body, and <strong>in</strong> your spirit, which are God's." 1 Cor<strong>in</strong>thians<br />
6:19, 20. He whose body is the temple of the Holy Spirit will not be enslaved <strong>by</strong> a<br />
pernicious habit. His powers belong to Christ, who has bought him with the price of<br />
blood. His property is the Lord's. How could he be guiltless <strong>in</strong> squander<strong>in</strong>g this<br />
entrusted capital? Professed Christians yearly expend an immense sum upon useless<br />
and pernicious <strong>in</strong>dulgences, while souls are perish<strong>in</strong>g for the word of life. God is<br />
robbed <strong>in</strong> tithes and offer<strong>in</strong>gs, while they consume upon the altar of destroy<strong>in</strong>g lust<br />
more than they give to relieve the poor or for the support of the gospel. If all who<br />
profess to be followers of Christ were truly sanctified, their means, <strong>in</strong>stead of be<strong>in</strong>g<br />
spent for needless and even hurtful <strong>in</strong>dulgences, would be turned <strong>in</strong>to the Lord's<br />
treasury, and Christians would set an example of temperance, self-denial, and selfsacrifice.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n they would be the light of the world.<br />
<strong>The</strong> world is given up to self-<strong>in</strong>dulgence. "<strong>The</strong> lust of the flesh, and the lust of<br />
the eyes, and the pride of life" control the masses of the people. But Christ's followers<br />
have a holier call<strong>in</strong>g. "Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,<br />
and touch not the unclean." In the light of God's word we are justified <strong>in</strong> declar<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that sanctification cannot be genu<strong>in</strong>e which does not work this utter renunciation of<br />
the s<strong>in</strong>ful pursuits and gratifications of the world.<br />
To those who comply with the conditions, "Come out from among them, and be<br />
ye separate, . . . and touch not the unclean," God's promise is, "I will receive you, and<br />
will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord<br />
Almighty." 2 Cor<strong>in</strong>thians 6:17, 18. It is the privilege and the duty of every Christian<br />
to have a rich and abundant experience <strong>in</strong> the th<strong>in</strong>gs of God. "I am the light of the<br />
world," said Jesus. "He that followeth Me shall not walk <strong>in</strong> darkness, but shall have<br />
the light of life." John 8:12. "<strong>The</strong> path of the just is as the sh<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g light, that sh<strong>in</strong>eth<br />
more and more unto the perfect day." Proverbs 4:18. Every step of faith and obedience<br />
br<strong>in</strong>gs the soul <strong>in</strong>to closer connection with the Light of the world, <strong>in</strong> whom there "is<br />
no darkness at all." <strong>The</strong> bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness sh<strong>in</strong>e upon the<br />
servants of God, and they are to reflect His rays. As the stars tell us that there is a<br />
great light <strong>in</strong> heaven with whose glory they are made bright, so Christians are to<br />
make it manifest that there is a God on the throne of the universe whose character is<br />
