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 />

favor <strong>by</strong> a large class who profess to believe the Bible; yet it directly contradicts the<br />

pla<strong>in</strong>est statements of our Saviour concern<strong>in</strong>g His relationship with the Father, His<br />

div<strong>in</strong>e character, and His pre-existence. It cannot be enterta<strong>in</strong>ed without the most<br />

unwarranted wrest<strong>in</strong>g of the Scriptures. It not only lowers man's conceptions of the<br />

work of redemption, but underm<strong>in</strong>es faith <strong>in</strong> the Bible as a revelation from God. While<br />

this renders it the more dangerous, it makes it also harder to meet. If men reject the<br />

testimony of the <strong>in</strong>spired Scriptures concern<strong>in</strong>g the deity of Christ, it is <strong>in</strong> va<strong>in</strong> to<br />

argue the po<strong>in</strong>t with them; for no argument, however conclusive, could conv<strong>in</strong>ce them.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> natural man receiveth not the th<strong>in</strong>gs of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness<br />

unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1<br />

Cor<strong>in</strong>thians 2:14. None who hold this error can have a true conception of the character<br />

or the mission of Christ, or of the great plan of God for man's redemption.<br />

Still another subtle and mischievous error is the fast-spread<strong>in</strong>g belief that Satan<br />

has no existence as a personal be<strong>in</strong>g; that the name is used <strong>in</strong> Scripture merely to<br />

represent men's evil thoughts and desires. <strong>The</strong> teach<strong>in</strong>g so widely echoed from<br />

popular pulpits, that the second advent of Christ is His com<strong>in</strong>g to each <strong>in</strong>dividual at<br />

death, is a device to divert the m<strong>in</strong>ds of men from His personal com<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the clouds<br />

of heaven. For years Satan has thus been say<strong>in</strong>g, "Behold, He is <strong>in</strong> the secret<br />

chambers" (Matthew 24:23-26); and many souls have been lost <strong>by</strong> accept<strong>in</strong>g this<br />

deception.<br />

Aga<strong>in</strong>, worldly wisdom teaches that prayer is not essential. Men of science claim<br />

that there can be no real answer to prayer; that this would be a violation of law, a<br />

miracle, and that miracles have no existence. <strong>The</strong> universe, say they, is governed <strong>by</strong><br />

fixed laws, and God Himself does noth<strong>in</strong>g contrary to these laws. Thus they represent<br />

God as bound <strong>by</strong> His own laws--as if the operation of div<strong>in</strong>e laws could exclude div<strong>in</strong>e<br />

freedom. Such teach<strong>in</strong>g is opposed to the testimony of the Scriptures. Were not<br />

miracles wrought <strong>by</strong> Christ and His apostles? <strong>The</strong> same compassionate Saviour lives<br />

today, and He is as will<strong>in</strong>g to listen to the prayer of faith as when He walked visibly<br />

among men. <strong>The</strong> natural cooperates with the supernatural. It is a part of God's plan<br />

to grant us, <strong>in</strong> answer to the prayer of faith, that which He would not bestow did we<br />

not thus ask.<br />
