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 />
plunged <strong>in</strong>to deeper distress and anguish <strong>in</strong> the time of trouble, because they have<br />
never made it a habit to trust <strong>in</strong> God. <strong>The</strong> lessons of faith which they have neglected<br />
they will be forced to learn under a terrible pressure of discouragement.<br />
We should now acqua<strong>in</strong>t ourselves with God <strong>by</strong> prov<strong>in</strong>g His promises. Angels<br />
record every prayer that is earnest and s<strong>in</strong>cere. We should rather dispense with<br />
selfish gratifications than neglect communion with God. <strong>The</strong> deepest poverty, the<br />
greatest self-denial, with His approval, is better than riches, honours, ease, and<br />
friendship without it. We must take time to pray. If we allow our m<strong>in</strong>ds to be absorbed<br />
<strong>by</strong> worldly <strong>in</strong>terests, the Lord may give us time <strong>by</strong> remov<strong>in</strong>g from us our idols of gold,<br />
of houses, or of fertile lands.<br />
<strong>The</strong> young would not be seduced <strong>in</strong>to s<strong>in</strong> if they would refuse to enter any path<br />
save that upon which they could ask God's bless<strong>in</strong>g. If the messengers who bear the<br />
last solemn warn<strong>in</strong>g to the world would pray for the bless<strong>in</strong>g of God, not <strong>in</strong> a cold,<br />
listless, lazy manner, but fervently and <strong>in</strong> faith, as did Jacob, they would f<strong>in</strong>d many<br />
places where they could say: "I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."<br />
Genesis 32:30. <strong>The</strong>y would be accounted of heaven as pr<strong>in</strong>ces, hav<strong>in</strong>g power to prevail<br />
with God and with men.<br />
<strong>The</strong> "time of trouble, such as never was," is soon to open upon us; and we shall<br />
need an experience which we do not now possess and which many are too <strong>in</strong>dolent to<br />
obta<strong>in</strong>. It is often the case that trouble is greater <strong>in</strong> anticipation than <strong>in</strong> reality; but<br />
this is not true of the crisis before us. <strong>The</strong> most vivid presentation cannot reach the<br />
magnitude of the ordeal. In that time of trial, every soul must stand for himself before<br />
God. "Though Noah, Daniel, and Job" were <strong>in</strong> the land, "as I live, saith the Lord God,<br />
they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls <strong>by</strong><br />
their righteousness." Ezekiel 14:20.<br />
Now, while our great High Priest is mak<strong>in</strong>g the atonement for us, we should<br />
seek to become perfect <strong>in</strong> Christ. Not even <strong>by</strong> a thought could our Saviour be brought<br />
to yield to the power of temptation. Satan f<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>in</strong> human hearts some po<strong>in</strong>t where he<br />
can ga<strong>in</strong> a foothold; some s<strong>in</strong>ful desire is cherished, <strong>by</strong> means of which his temptations<br />
assert their power. But Christ declared of Himself: "<strong>The</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ce of this world cometh,<br />
and hath noth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Me." John 14:30. Satan could f<strong>in</strong>d noth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the Son of God that<br />
