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

judgment." Says the Saviour: "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and <strong>by</strong> thy words<br />

thou shalt be condemned." Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 12:36, 37. <strong>The</strong> secret purposes<br />

and motives appear <strong>in</strong> the unerr<strong>in</strong>g register; for God "will br<strong>in</strong>g to light the hidden<br />

th<strong>in</strong>gs of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts." I Cor<strong>in</strong>thians<br />

4:5. "Behold, it is written before Me, . . . your <strong>in</strong>iquities, and the <strong>in</strong>iquities of your<br />

fathers together, saith the Lord." Isaiah 65:6, 7.<br />

Every man's work passes <strong>in</strong> review before God and is registered for faithfulness<br />

or unfaithfulness. Opposite each name <strong>in</strong> the books of heaven is entered with terrible<br />

exactness every wrong word, every selfish act, every unfulfilled duty, and every secret<br />

s<strong>in</strong>, with every artful dissembl<strong>in</strong>g. Heaven-sent warn<strong>in</strong>gs or reproofs neglected,<br />

wasted moments, unimproved opportunities, the <strong>in</strong>fluence exerted for good or for evil,<br />

with its far-reach<strong>in</strong>g results, all are chronicled <strong>by</strong> the record<strong>in</strong>g angel. <strong>The</strong> law of God<br />

is the standard <strong>by</strong> which the characters and the lives of men will be tested <strong>in</strong> the<br />

judgment. Says the wise man: "Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the<br />

whole duty of man. For God shall br<strong>in</strong>g every work <strong>in</strong>to judgment." Ecclesiastes 12:13,<br />

14. <strong>The</strong> apostle James admonishes his brethren: "So speak ye, and so do, as they that<br />

shall be judged <strong>by</strong> the law of liberty." James 2:12<br />

Those who <strong>in</strong> the judgment are "accounted worthy" will have a part <strong>in</strong> the<br />

resurrection of the just. Jesus said: "<strong>The</strong>y which shall be accounted worthy to obta<strong>in</strong><br />

that world, and the resurrection from the dead, . . . are equal unto the angels; and are<br />

the children of God, be<strong>in</strong>g the children of the resurrection." Luke 20:35, 36. And aga<strong>in</strong><br />

He declares that "they that have done good" shall come forth "unto the resurrection<br />

of life." John 5:29. <strong>The</strong> righteous dead will not be raised until after the judgment at<br />

which they are accounted worthy of "the resurrection of life." Hence they will not be<br />

present <strong>in</strong> person at the tribunal when their records are exam<strong>in</strong>ed and their cases<br />

decided.<br />

Jesus will appear as their advocate, to plead <strong>in</strong> their behalf before God. "If any<br />

man s<strong>in</strong>, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." I John<br />

2:1. "For Christ is not entered <strong>in</strong>to the holy places made with hands, which are the<br />

figures of the true; but <strong>in</strong>to heaven itself, now to appear <strong>in</strong> the presence of God for<br />

us." "Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God <strong>by</strong><br />

Him, see<strong>in</strong>g He ever liveth to make <strong>in</strong>tercession for them." Hebrews 9:24; 7:25. As<br />
