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 />
the bewitch<strong>in</strong>g, allur<strong>in</strong>g spell. Noth<strong>in</strong>g but the power of God, granted <strong>in</strong> answer to the<br />
earnest prayer of faith, can deliver these ensnared souls. All who <strong>in</strong>dulge s<strong>in</strong>ful traits<br />
of character, or willfully cherish a known s<strong>in</strong>, are <strong>in</strong>vit<strong>in</strong>g the temptations of Satan.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y separate themselves from God and from the watchcare of His angels; as the evil<br />
one presents his deceptions, they are without defense and fall an easy prey. Those<br />
who thus place themselves <strong>in</strong> his power little realize where their course will end.<br />
Hav<strong>in</strong>g achieved their overthrow, the tempter will employ them as his agents to lure<br />
others to ru<strong>in</strong>.<br />
Says the prophet Isaiah: "When they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that<br />
have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a<br />
people seek unto their God? for the liv<strong>in</strong>g to the dead? To the law and to the testimony:<br />
if they speak not accord<strong>in</strong>g to this word, it is because there is no light <strong>in</strong> them." Isaiah<br />
8:19, 20. If men had been will<strong>in</strong>g to receive the truth so pla<strong>in</strong>ly stated <strong>in</strong> the Scriptures<br />
concern<strong>in</strong>g the nature of man and the state of the dead, they would see <strong>in</strong> the claims<br />
and manifestations of spiritualism the work<strong>in</strong>g of Satan with power and signs and<br />
ly<strong>in</strong>g wonders. But rather than yield the liberty so agreeable to the carnal heart, and<br />
renounce the s<strong>in</strong>s which they love, multitudes close their eyes to the light and walk<br />
straight on, regardless of warn<strong>in</strong>gs, while Satan weaves his snares about them, and<br />
they become his prey. "Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might<br />
be saved," therefore "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a<br />
lie." 2 <strong>The</strong>ssalonians 2:10, 11.<br />
Those who oppose the teach<strong>in</strong>gs of spiritualism are assail<strong>in</strong>g, not men alone, but<br />
Satan and his angels. <strong>The</strong>y have entered upon a contest aga<strong>in</strong>st pr<strong>in</strong>cipalities and<br />
powers and wicked spirits <strong>in</strong> high places. Satan will not yield one <strong>in</strong>ch of ground<br />
except as he is driven back <strong>by</strong> the power of heavenly messengers. <strong>The</strong> people of God<br />
should be able to meet him, as did our Saviour, with the words: "It is written." Satan<br />
can quote Scripture now as <strong>in</strong> the days of Christ, and he will pervert its teach<strong>in</strong>gs to<br />
susta<strong>in</strong> his delusions. Those who would stand <strong>in</strong> this time of peril must understand<br />
for themselves the testimony of the Scriptures.<br />
Many will be confronted <strong>by</strong> the spirits of devils personat<strong>in</strong>g beloved relatives or<br />
friends and declar<strong>in</strong>g the most dangerous heresies. <strong>The</strong>se visitants will appeal to our<br />
tenderest sympathies and will work miracles to susta<strong>in</strong> their pretensions. We must<br />
