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 />
33. First Great Deception<br />
With the earliest history of man, Satan began his efforts to deceive our race. He<br />
who had <strong>in</strong>cited rebellion <strong>in</strong> heaven desired to br<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>habitants of the earth to<br />
unite with him <strong>in</strong> his warfare aga<strong>in</strong>st the government of God. Adam and Eve had been<br />
perfectly happy <strong>in</strong> obedience to the law of God, and this fact was a constant testimony<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st the claim which Satan had urged <strong>in</strong> heaven, that God's law was oppressive<br />
and opposed to the good of His creatures. And furthermore, Satan's envy was excited<br />
as he looked upon the beautiful home prepared for the s<strong>in</strong>less pair. He determ<strong>in</strong>ed to<br />
cause their fall, that, hav<strong>in</strong>g separated them from God and brought them under his<br />
own power, he might ga<strong>in</strong> possession of the earth and here establish his k<strong>in</strong>gdom <strong>in</strong><br />
opposition to the Most High.<br />
Had Satan revealed himself <strong>in</strong> his real character, he would have been repulsed<br />
at once, for Adam and Eve had been warned aga<strong>in</strong>st this dangerous foe; but he worked<br />
<strong>in</strong> the dark, conceal<strong>in</strong>g his purpose, that he might more effectually accomplish his<br />
object. Employ<strong>in</strong>g as his medium the serpent, then a creature of fasc<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g<br />
appearance, he addressed himself to Eve: "Hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every<br />
tree of the garden?" Genesis 3:1. Had Eve refra<strong>in</strong>ed from enter<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to argument with<br />
the tempter, she would have been safe; but she ventured to parley with him and fell<br />
a victim to his wiles. It is thus that many are still overcome. <strong>The</strong>y doubt and argue<br />
concern<strong>in</strong>g the requirements of God; and <strong>in</strong>stead of obey<strong>in</strong>g the div<strong>in</strong>e commands,<br />
they accept human theories, which but disguise the devices of Satan.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the<br />
garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is <strong>in</strong> the midst of the garden, God hath said,<br />
Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto<br />
the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that <strong>in</strong> the day ye eat thereof,<br />
then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, know<strong>in</strong>g good and evil." Verses<br />
2-5. He declared that they would become like God, possess<strong>in</strong>g greater wisdom than<br />
before and be<strong>in</strong>g capable of a higher state of existence. Eve yielded to temptation; and<br />
through her <strong>in</strong>fluence, Adam was led <strong>in</strong>to s<strong>in</strong>. <strong>The</strong>y accepted the words of the serpent,<br />
that God did not mean what He said; they distrusted their Creator and imag<strong>in</strong>ed that<br />
He was restrict<strong>in</strong>g their liberty and that they might obta<strong>in</strong> great wisdom and<br />
exaltation <strong>by</strong> transgress<strong>in</strong>g His law.<br />
