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 />

and search<strong>in</strong>g scrut<strong>in</strong>y as if there were not another be<strong>in</strong>g upon the earth. Everyone<br />

must be tested and found without spot or wr<strong>in</strong>kle or any such th<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Solemn are the scenes connected with the clos<strong>in</strong>g work of the atonement.<br />

Momentous are the <strong>in</strong>terests <strong>in</strong>volved there<strong>in</strong>. <strong>The</strong> judgment is now pass<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the<br />

sanctuary above. For many years this work has been <strong>in</strong> progress. Soon--none know<br />

how soon--it will pass to the cases of the liv<strong>in</strong>g. In the awful presence of God our lives<br />

are to come up <strong>in</strong> review. At this time above all others it behooves every soul to heed<br />

the Saviour's admonition: "Watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is." Mark<br />

13:33. "If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt<br />

not know what hour I will come upon thee." Revelation 3:3.<br />

When the work of the <strong>in</strong>vestigative judgment closes, the dest<strong>in</strong>y of all will have<br />

been decided for life or death. Probation is ended a short time before the appear<strong>in</strong>g of<br />

the Lord <strong>in</strong> the clouds of heaven. Christ <strong>in</strong> the Revelation, look<strong>in</strong>g forward to that<br />

time, declares: "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let<br />

him be filthy still: and he that is righteous let him be righteous still: and he that is<br />

holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to<br />

give every man accord<strong>in</strong>g as his work shall be." Revelation 22:11, 12.<br />

<strong>The</strong> righteous and the wicked will still be liv<strong>in</strong>g upon the earth <strong>in</strong> their mortal<br />

state--men will be plant<strong>in</strong>g and build<strong>in</strong>g, eat<strong>in</strong>g and dr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g, all unconscious that<br />

the f<strong>in</strong>al, irrevocable decision has been pronounced <strong>in</strong> the sanctuary above. Before the<br />

Flood, after Noah entered the ark, God shut him <strong>in</strong> and shut the ungodly out; but for<br />

seven days the people, know<strong>in</strong>g not that their doom was fixed, cont<strong>in</strong>ued their careless,<br />

pleasure-lov<strong>in</strong>g life and mocked the warn<strong>in</strong>gs of impend<strong>in</strong>g judgment. "So," says the<br />

Saviour, "shall also the com<strong>in</strong>g of the Son of man be." Matthew 24:39. Silently,<br />

unnoticed as the midnight thief, will come the decisive hour which marks the fix<strong>in</strong>g<br />

of every man's dest<strong>in</strong>y, the f<strong>in</strong>al withdrawal of mercy's offer to guilty men.<br />

"Watch ye therefore: . . . lest com<strong>in</strong>g suddenly He f<strong>in</strong>d you sleep<strong>in</strong>g." Mark 13:35,<br />

36. Perilous is the condition of those who, grow<strong>in</strong>g weary of their watch, turn to the<br />

attractions of the world. While the man of bus<strong>in</strong>ess is absorbed <strong>in</strong> the pursuit of ga<strong>in</strong>,<br />

while the pleasure lover is seek<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dulgence, while the daughter of fashion is<br />

arrang<strong>in</strong>g her adornments--it may be <strong>in</strong> that hour the Judge of all the earth will<br />
