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 />

elements of strife will be let loose. <strong>The</strong> whole world will be <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> ru<strong>in</strong> more<br />

terrible than that which came upon Jerusalem of old. A s<strong>in</strong>gle angel destroyed all the<br />

first-born of the Egyptians and filled the land with mourn<strong>in</strong>g. When David offended<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st God <strong>by</strong> number<strong>in</strong>g the people, one angel caused that terrible destruction <strong>by</strong><br />

which his s<strong>in</strong> was punished. <strong>The</strong> same destructive power exercised <strong>by</strong> holy angels<br />

when God commands, will be exercised <strong>by</strong> evil angels when He permits. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

forces now ready, and only wait<strong>in</strong>g the div<strong>in</strong>e permission, to spread desolation<br />

everywhere.<br />

Those who honour the law of God have been accused of br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g judgments upon<br />

the world, and they will be regarded as the cause of the fearful convulsions of nature<br />

and the strife and bloodshed among men that are fill<strong>in</strong>g the earth with woe. <strong>The</strong> power<br />

attend<strong>in</strong>g the last warn<strong>in</strong>g has enraged the wicked; their anger is k<strong>in</strong>dled aga<strong>in</strong>st all<br />

who have received the message, and Satan will excite to still greater <strong>in</strong>tensity the<br />

spirit of hatred and persecution. When God's presence was f<strong>in</strong>ally withdrawn from<br />

the Jewish nation, priests and people knew it not. Though under the control of Satan,<br />

and swayed <strong>by</strong> the most horrible and malignant passions, they still regarded<br />

themselves as the chosen of God. <strong>The</strong> m<strong>in</strong>istration <strong>in</strong> the temple cont<strong>in</strong>ued; sacrifices<br />

were offered upon its polluted altars, and daily the div<strong>in</strong>e bless<strong>in</strong>g was <strong>in</strong>voked upon<br />

a people guilty of the blood of God's dear Son and seek<strong>in</strong>g to slay His m<strong>in</strong>isters and<br />

apostles.<br />

So when the irrevocable decision of the sanctuary has been pronounced and the<br />

dest<strong>in</strong>y of the world has been forever fixed, the <strong>in</strong>habitants of the earth will know it<br />

not. <strong>The</strong> forms of religion will be cont<strong>in</strong>ued <strong>by</strong> a people from whom the Spirit of God<br />

has been f<strong>in</strong>ally withdrawn; and the satanic zeal with which the pr<strong>in</strong>ce of evil will<br />

<strong>in</strong>spire them for the accomplishment of his malignant designs, will bear the<br />

semblance of zeal for God. As the Sabbath has become the special po<strong>in</strong>t of controversy<br />

throughout Christendom, and religious and secular authorities have comb<strong>in</strong>ed to<br />

enforce the observance of the Sunday, the persistent refusal of a small m<strong>in</strong>ority to<br />

yield to the popular demand will make them objects of universal execration. It will be<br />

urged that the few who stand <strong>in</strong> opposition to an <strong>in</strong>stitution of the church and a law<br />

of the state ought not to be tolerated; that it is better for them to suffer than for whole<br />

nations to be thrown <strong>in</strong>to confusion and lawlessness.<br />
