The AntiChrist and antichrists: The 1,700 year Deception
(Chapter 21, pp. 174-175)
From the first, and throughout, that movement was energized and guided by the prophetic word, Luther never felt strong and free to war against the papal apostasy till he recognized the pope as antichrist. It was then he burned the Papal bull. Knox’s first sermon, the sermon which launched him on his mission as a reformer, was on the prophecies concerning the Papacy. The reformers embodied their interpretations of prophecy in their confessions of faith, and Calvin in his “Institutes.”
All the reformers were unanimous in the matter; even the mild and cautious Melanchthon was as assured of the antipapal meaning of these prophecies as was Luther himself. And their interpretation of these prophecies determined their reforming action. It led them to protest against Rome with extraordinary strength and undaunted courage. It nerved them to resist the claims of that apostate church to the uttermost. It made them martyrs; it sustained them at the stake. And the views of the reformers were shared by thousands, by hundreds of thousands.
They were adopted by princes and peoples. Under their influence nations abjured their allegiance to the false priest of Rome. In the reaction which followed, all the powers of hell seemed to be let loose upon the adherents of the Reformation. War followed war; tortures, burnings, and massacres were multiplied. Yet the Reformation stood undefeated and unconquerable. God’s word upheld it, and the energies of His almighty Spirit. It was the work of Christ as truly as the founding of the Church eighteen centuries ago; and the revelation of the future which He gave from heaven – that prophetic book with which the Scripture closes – was one of the mightiest instruments employed in its accomplishment.
The 7th Day Humbling of Mankind – The Beginning of the End of the Age
The AntiChrist and antichrists: The 1,700 year Deception (Chapter 21, pp. 174-175)
Ron Harmon’s latest book, THE 7TH DAY HUMBLING OF MANKIND exposes the deception now flooding the Media and throughout the United States. Full of suspense, this book exposes the deception by our world leaders which are leading us into the New World Order.
John Wycliffe in England, Martin Luther in Germany, John Calvin in France, John Knox in Scotland, Ulrich Zwingli in Switzerland, and countless other, all preached that the humble Nazarene was the Christ and that the proud Roman papacy was the antichrist of Scripture. Why is this important in the last days? First, it is because as Jesus said in Matthew 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25See, I have told you ahead of time. – I had a very educated dedicated Christian in Switzerland who pointed out to me that not all are interested in American politics.I responded, the Antichrist and antichrist are very interested in politics that control goods and services, the distribution, and most importantly – People, you and your children – their future. It is all about taking the number of the Beast that is driven by Satan himself. As named in the beginning of this – all this men of courage were global Godly men who put everything on the line for the Truth and the Spirit of God, Jesus Christ, the Messiah from the blood-line of David, the offspring of Israel.
