| Luther's "96 Theses" on a church door. |
In
Our History Lessons, I remember studying about: "
The Protestant Reformation." How the cumulative and residual effects of
The Great Judeo-Christian Reformers - such as:
Luther,
Jerome,
Huss,
Knox,
Zwingli, Melancthon,
Calvin,
Wycliffe, and
Wesley - shook the world of their day and led to the creation of
Our Own Modern Times in a whole host of new ways. For a time, they weakened the power of
Religious Babylon; and as a result,
Intellectual Freedom flourished for everyone.
"The Light had overcome The Darkness," even as it always does, in such
Spiritually Led Opportunities!
And yet,
The Spirit Of Babylon merely changed its "
Outward Clothing" - under the guise of sincere repentance - and infiltrated these
New Organizations, as well... ever working towards and seeking out the mastery over them. In time,
Babylon The Great has merely grown far bigger and far stronger than ever - while driving out these spiritually led forces of reformation! Again and again, this ongoing process has been substantially repeated - as Yahweh's people have dogmatically slogged forward at a greatly reduced pace. In fact, hundreds of thousands of
New: Churches,
Synagogues,
Temples, and
Fellowships have resulted from this continual and ongoing reformative process.
