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

wear<strong>in</strong>g rich apparel and of hav<strong>in</strong>g wasted hours <strong>in</strong> frivolous occupations." He then<br />
added these touch<strong>in</strong>g admonitions: "May the glory of God and the salvation of souls<br />
occupy thy m<strong>in</strong>d, and not the possession of benefices and estates. Beware of adorn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
thy house more than thy soul; and, above all, give thy care to the spiritual edifice. Be<br />
pious and humble with the poor, and consume not thy substance <strong>in</strong> feast<strong>in</strong>g. Shouldst<br />
thou not amend thy life and refra<strong>in</strong> from superfluities, I fear that thou wilt be severely<br />
chastened, as I am myself. . . . Thou knowest my doctr<strong>in</strong>e, for thou hast received my<br />
<strong>in</strong>structions from thy childhood; it is therefore useless for me to write to thee any<br />
further. But I conjure thee, <strong>by</strong> the mercy of our Lord, not to imitate me <strong>in</strong> any of the<br />
vanities <strong>in</strong>to which thou hast seen me fall." On the cover of the letter he added: "I<br />
conjure thee, my friend, not to break this seal until thou shalt have acquired the<br />
certitude that I am dead."-- Ibid., vol. 1, pp. 148, 149.<br />
On his journey, Huss everywhere beheld <strong>in</strong>dications of the spread of his<br />
doctr<strong>in</strong>es and the favor with which his cause was regarded. <strong>The</strong> people thronged to<br />
meet him, and <strong>in</strong> some towns the magistrates attended him through their streets.<br />
Upon arriv<strong>in</strong>g at Constance, Huss was granted full liberty. To the emperor's safeconduct<br />
was added a personal assurance of protection <strong>by</strong> the pope. But, <strong>in</strong> violation of<br />
these solemn and repeated declarations, the Reformer was <strong>in</strong> a short time arrested,<br />
<strong>by</strong> order of the pope and card<strong>in</strong>als, and thrust <strong>in</strong>to a loathsome dungeon. Later he<br />
was transferred to a strong castle across the Rh<strong>in</strong>e and there kept a prisoner. <strong>The</strong><br />
pope, profit<strong>in</strong>g little <strong>by</strong> his perfidy, was soon after committed to the same prison. Ibid.,<br />
vol. 1, p. 247. He had been proved before the council to be guilty of the basest crimes,<br />
besides murder, simony, and adultery, "s<strong>in</strong>s not fit to be named." So the council itself<br />
declared, and he was f<strong>in</strong>ally deprived of the tiara and thrown <strong>in</strong>to prison. <strong>The</strong><br />
antipopes also were deposed, and a new pontiff was chosen.<br />
Though the pope himself had been guilty of greater crimes than Huss had ever<br />
charged upon the priests, and for which he had demanded a reformation, yet the same<br />
council which degraded the pontiff proceeded to crush the Reformer. <strong>The</strong><br />
imprisonment of Huss excited great <strong>in</strong>dignation <strong>in</strong> Bohemia. Powerful noblemen<br />
addressed to the council earnest protests aga<strong>in</strong>st this outrage. <strong>The</strong> emperor, who was<br />
loath to permit the violation of a safe-conduct, opposed the proceed<strong>in</strong>gs aga<strong>in</strong>st him.<br />
But the enemies of the Reformer were malignant and determ<strong>in</strong>ed. <strong>The</strong>y appealed to<br />
the emperor's prejudices, to his fears, to his zeal for the church. <strong>The</strong>y brought forward<br />
