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 />
funeral of an irreligious young man, who had been killed <strong>in</strong>stantly <strong>by</strong> an accident, a<br />
Universalist m<strong>in</strong>ister selected as his text the Scripture statement concern<strong>in</strong>g David:<br />
"He was comforted concern<strong>in</strong>g Amnon, see<strong>in</strong>g he was dead." 2 Samuel 13:39. "I am<br />
frequently asked," said the speaker, "what will be the fate of those who leave the world<br />
<strong>in</strong> s<strong>in</strong>, die, perhaps, <strong>in</strong> a state of <strong>in</strong>ebriation, die with the scarlet sta<strong>in</strong>s of crime<br />
unwashed from their robes, or die as this young man died, hav<strong>in</strong>g never made a<br />
profession or enjoyed an experience of religion. We are content with the Scriptures;<br />
their answer shall solve the awful problem. Amnon was exceed<strong>in</strong>gly s<strong>in</strong>ful; he was<br />
unrepentant, he was made drunk, and while drunk was killed. David was a prophet<br />
of God; he must have known whether it would be ill or well for Amnon <strong>in</strong> the world to<br />
come. What were the expressions of his heart?<br />
`<strong>The</strong> soul of K<strong>in</strong>g David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted<br />
concern<strong>in</strong>g Amnon, see<strong>in</strong>g he was dead.' Verse 39. "And what is the <strong>in</strong>ference to be<br />
deduced from this language? Is it not that endless suffer<strong>in</strong>g formed no part of his<br />
religious belief? So we conceive; and here we discover a triumphant argument <strong>in</strong><br />
support of the more pleas<strong>in</strong>g, more enlightened, more benevolent hypothesis of<br />
ultimate universal purity and peace. He was comforted, see<strong>in</strong>g his son was dead. And<br />
why so? Because <strong>by</strong> the eye of prophecy he could look forward <strong>in</strong>to the glorious future<br />
and see that son far removed from all temptations, released from the bondage and<br />
purified from the corruptions of s<strong>in</strong>, and after be<strong>in</strong>g made sufficiently holy and<br />
enlightened, admitted to the assembly of ascended and rejoic<strong>in</strong>g spirits. His only<br />
comfort was that, <strong>in</strong> be<strong>in</strong>g removed from the present state of s<strong>in</strong> and suffer<strong>in</strong>g, his<br />
beloved son had gone where the loftiest breath<strong>in</strong>gs of the Holy Spirit would be shed<br />
upon his darkened soul, where his m<strong>in</strong>d would be unfolded to the wisdom of heaven<br />
and the sweet raptures of immortal love, and thus prepared with a sanctified nature<br />
to enjoy the rest and society of the heavenly <strong>in</strong>heritance.<br />
"In these thoughts we would be understood to believe that the salvation of<br />
heaven depends upon noth<strong>in</strong>g which we can do <strong>in</strong> this life; neither upon a present<br />
change of heart, nor upon present belief, or a present profession of religion." Thus<br />
does the professed m<strong>in</strong>ister of Christ reiterate the falsehood uttered <strong>by</strong> the serpent <strong>in</strong><br />
Eden: "Ye shall not surely die." "In the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be<br />
opened, and ye shall be as gods." He declares that the vilest of s<strong>in</strong>ners--the murderer,<br />
the thief, and the adulterer--will after death be prepared to enter <strong>in</strong>to immortal bliss.<br />
