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 />

great sacrifice <strong>in</strong> the long struggle <strong>by</strong> which liberty of conscience was to be secured.<br />

Be<strong>in</strong>g called upon for his f<strong>in</strong>al decision, Huss declared his refusal to abjure, and, fix<strong>in</strong>g<br />

his penetrat<strong>in</strong>g glance upon the monarch whose plighted word had been so<br />

shamelessly violated, he declared: "I determ<strong>in</strong>ed, of my own free will, to appear before<br />

this council, under the public protection and faith of the emperor here present."--<br />

Bonnechose, vol. 2, p. 84. A deep flush crimsoned the face of Sigismund as the eyes of<br />

all <strong>in</strong> the assembly turned upon him.<br />

Sentence hav<strong>in</strong>g been pronounced, the ceremony of degradation began. <strong>The</strong><br />

bishops clothed their prisoner <strong>in</strong> the sacerdotal habit, and as he took the priestly robe,<br />

he said: "Our Lord Jesus Christ was covered with a white robe, <strong>by</strong> way of <strong>in</strong>sult, when<br />

Herod had Him conducted before Pilate."-- Ibid., vol. 2, p. 86. Be<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong> exhorted to<br />

retract, he replied, turn<strong>in</strong>g toward the people: "With what face, then, should I behold<br />

the heavens? How should I look on those multitudes of men to whom I have preached<br />

the pure gospel? No; I esteem their salvation more than this poor body, now appo<strong>in</strong>ted<br />

unto death." <strong>The</strong> vestments were removed one <strong>by</strong> one, each bishop pronounc<strong>in</strong>g a<br />

curse as he performed his part of the ceremony. F<strong>in</strong>ally "they put on his head a cap or<br />

pyramidal-shaped miter of paper, on which were pa<strong>in</strong>ted frightful figures of demons,<br />

with the word 'Archheretic' conspicuous <strong>in</strong> front. 'Most joyfully,' said Huss, 'will I wear<br />

this crown of shame for Thy sake, O Jesus, who for me didst wear a crown of thorns.'"<br />

When he was thus arrayed, "the prelates said, 'Now we devote thy soul to the<br />

devil.' 'And I,' said John Huss, lift<strong>in</strong>g up his eyes toward heaven, 'do commit my spirit<br />

<strong>in</strong>to Thy hands, O Lord Jesus, for Thou hast redeemed me.'"--Wylie, b. 3, ch. 7. He<br />

was now delivered up to the secular authorities and led away to the place of execution.<br />

An immense procession followed, hundreds of men at arms, priests and bishops <strong>in</strong><br />

their costly robes, and the <strong>in</strong>habitants of Constance. When he had been fastened to<br />

the stake, and all was ready for the fire to be lighted, the martyr was once more<br />

exhorted to save himself <strong>by</strong> renounc<strong>in</strong>g his errors. "What errors," said Huss, "shall I<br />

renounce? I know myself guilty of none. I call God to witness that all that I have<br />

written and preached has been with the view of rescu<strong>in</strong>g souls from s<strong>in</strong> and perdition;<br />

and, therefore, most joyfully will I confirm with my blood that truth which I have<br />

written and preached."-- Ibid., b. 3, ch. 7. When the flames k<strong>in</strong>dled about him, he<br />

began to s<strong>in</strong>g, "Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me," and so cont<strong>in</strong>ued till his<br />

voice was silenced forever.<br />
