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 />

restra<strong>in</strong>ts which God has imposed is to accept the rule of the cruelest of tyrants. When<br />

the standard of righteousness is set aside, the way is open for the pr<strong>in</strong>ce of evil to<br />

establish his power <strong>in</strong> the earth.<br />

Wherever the div<strong>in</strong>e precepts are rejected, s<strong>in</strong> ceases to appear s<strong>in</strong>ful or<br />

righteousness desirable. Those who refuse to submit to the government of God are<br />

wholly unfitted to govern themselves. Through their pernicious teach<strong>in</strong>gs the spirit of<br />

<strong>in</strong>subord<strong>in</strong>ation is implanted <strong>in</strong> the hearts of children and youth, who are naturally<br />

impatient of control; and a lawless, licentious state of society results. While scoff<strong>in</strong>g<br />

at the credulity of those who obey the requirements of God, the multitudes eagerly<br />

accept the delusions of Satan. <strong>The</strong>y give the re<strong>in</strong> to lust and practice the s<strong>in</strong>s which<br />

have called down judgments upon the heathen.<br />

Those who teach the people to regard lightly the commandments of God sow<br />

disobedience to reap disobedience. Let the restra<strong>in</strong>t imposed <strong>by</strong> the div<strong>in</strong>e law be<br />

wholly cast aside, and human laws would soon be disregarded. Because God forbids<br />

dishonest practices, covet<strong>in</strong>g, ly<strong>in</strong>g, and defraud<strong>in</strong>g, men are ready to trample upon<br />

His statutes as a h<strong>in</strong>drance to their worldly prosperity; but the results of banish<strong>in</strong>g<br />

these precepts would be such as they do not anticipate. If the law were not b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

why should any fear to transgress? Property would no longer be safe. Men would<br />

obta<strong>in</strong> their neighbor's possessions <strong>by</strong> violence, and the strongest would become<br />

richest. Life itself would not be respected. <strong>The</strong> marriage vow would no longer stand<br />

as a sacred bulwark to protect the family. He who had the power, would, if he desired,<br />

take his neighbor's wife <strong>by</strong> violence. <strong>The</strong> fifth commandment would be set aside with<br />

the fourth. Children would not shr<strong>in</strong>k from tak<strong>in</strong>g the life of their parents if <strong>by</strong> so<br />

do<strong>in</strong>g they could obta<strong>in</strong> the desire of their corrupt hearts. <strong>The</strong> civilized world would<br />

become a horde of robbers and assass<strong>in</strong>s; and peace, rest, and happ<strong>in</strong>ess would be<br />

banished from the earth.<br />

Already the doctr<strong>in</strong>e that men are released from obedience to God's<br />

requirements has weakened the force of moral obligation and opened the floodgates<br />

of <strong>in</strong>iquity upon the world. Lawlessness, dissipation, and corruption are sweep<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

upon us like an overwhelm<strong>in</strong>g tide. In the family, Satan is at work. His banner waves,<br />

even <strong>in</strong> professedly Christian households. <strong>The</strong>re is envy, evil surmis<strong>in</strong>g, hypocrisy,<br />

estrangement, emulation, strife, betrayal of sacred trusts, <strong>in</strong>dulgence of lust.<br />
