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

Constant<strong>in</strong>e on the seventh of March, A.D. 321, regard<strong>in</strong>g a day of rest from labor,<br />
reads thus:<br />
"All judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable Day<br />
of the Sun. Country people, however, may freely attend to the cultivation of the fields,<br />
because it frequently happens that no other days are better adapted for plant<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
gra<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the furrows or the v<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong> trenches. So that the advantage given <strong>by</strong> heavenly<br />
providence may not for the occasion of a short time perish."-Joseph Cullen Ayer, A<br />

Page 54. [Return to Pages: 54, 266] Prophetic dates.--An important pr<strong>in</strong>ciple <strong>in</strong><br />
prophetic <strong>in</strong>terpretation <strong>in</strong> connection with time prophecies is the year-day pr<strong>in</strong>ciple,<br />
under which a day of prophetic time is counted as a calendar year of historic time.<br />
Before the Israelites entered the land of Canaan they sent twelve spies ahead to<br />
<strong>in</strong>vestigate. <strong>The</strong> spies were gone forty days, and upon their return the Hebrews,<br />
frightened at their report, refused to go up and occupy the Promised Land. <strong>The</strong> result<br />
was a sentence the Lord passed upon them: "After the number of the days <strong>in</strong> which<br />
ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your <strong>in</strong>iquities,<br />
even forty years." Numbers 14:34. A similar method of comput<strong>in</strong>g future time is<br />
<strong>in</strong>dicated through the prophet Ezekiel. Forty years of punishment for <strong>in</strong>iquities<br />
