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 />

those who were blessed with its light were tempted and tried. <strong>The</strong> Lord gives a special<br />

truth for the people <strong>in</strong> an emergency. Who dare refuse to publish it? He commands<br />

His servants to present the last <strong>in</strong>vitation of mercy to the world. <strong>The</strong>y cannot rema<strong>in</strong><br />

silent, except at the peril of their souls. Christ's ambassadors have noth<strong>in</strong>g to do with<br />

consequences. <strong>The</strong>y must perform their duty and leave results with God.<br />

As the opposition rises to a fiercer height, the servants of God are aga<strong>in</strong><br />

perplexed; for it seems to them that they have brought the crisis. But conscience and<br />

the word of God assure them that their course is right; and although the trials<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>ue, they are strengthened to bear them. <strong>The</strong> contest grows closer and sharper,<br />

but their faith and courage rise with the emergency. <strong>The</strong>ir testimony is: "We dare not<br />

tamper with God's word, divid<strong>in</strong>g His holy law; call<strong>in</strong>g one portion essential and<br />

another nonessential, to ga<strong>in</strong> the favor of the world. <strong>The</strong> Lord whom we serve is able<br />

to deliver us. Christ has conquered the powers of earth; and shall we be afraid of a<br />

world already conquered?"<br />

Persecution <strong>in</strong> its varied forms is the development of a pr<strong>in</strong>ciple which will exist<br />

as long as Satan exists and Christianity has vital power. No man can serve God<br />

without enlist<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong>st himself the opposition of the hosts of darkness. Evil angels<br />

will assail him, alarmed that his <strong>in</strong>fluence is tak<strong>in</strong>g the prey from their hands. Evil<br />

men, rebuked <strong>by</strong> his example, will unite with them <strong>in</strong> seek<strong>in</strong>g to separate him from<br />

God <strong>by</strong> allur<strong>in</strong>g temptations. When these do not succeed, then a compell<strong>in</strong>g power is<br />

employed to force the conscience. But so long as Jesus rema<strong>in</strong>s man's <strong>in</strong>tercessor <strong>in</strong><br />

the sanctuary above, the restra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>fluence of the Holy Spirit is felt <strong>by</strong> rulers and<br />

people. It still controls to some extent the laws of the land. Were it not for these laws,<br />

the condition of the world would be much worse than it now is.<br />

While many of our rulers are active agents of Satan, God also has His agents<br />

among the lead<strong>in</strong>g men of the nation. <strong>The</strong> enemy moves upon his servants to propose<br />

measures that would greatly impede the work of God; but statesmen who fear the<br />

Lord are <strong>in</strong>fluenced <strong>by</strong> holy angels to oppose such propositions with unanswerable<br />

arguments. Thus a few men will hold <strong>in</strong> check a powerful current of evil. <strong>The</strong><br />

opposition of the enemies of truth will be restra<strong>in</strong>ed that the third angel's message<br />

may do its work. When the f<strong>in</strong>al warn<strong>in</strong>g shall be given, it will arrest the attention of<br />
