The Protestant Reformation Part 1 of 3

What it was, and what it means for us today... The most fearful warning given to the human race in our time (the end times) is found in the book of Revelations,

Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

God is not arbitrary. He will not condemn His children for receiving a secular form of social control that has no spiritual value or significance. i.e. microchip etc. Why not the SS card, or your drivers license? Do you see my point? But in the very next verse,

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

we find that the Mark of the Beast can be avoided, by keeping the Ten Commandments. We are not saved by keeping them, we are saved by accepting the blood of Jesus Christ on our behalf as the propitiation for our sins.

The Ten Commandments contain the Seal of God.

Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Deu 6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
Deu 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

Exo 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

The Great Controversy by Ellen G. White (my favorite) is a good historical perspective leading up to and understanding a final completion of the protestant reformation. Also for a larger church history perspective but some what more expensive is The Prophetic Faith of our Fathers, by Le Roy Froom which is a 4 volume set.

[AdventistTruth]

Agreed. I don't consider these two books to be exhaustive works. I'm merely pointing out core truths that are not addressed by many other works.

Thanks for the post.

Martin Luther was evil.

[westchesterny]

The 60s ecumenical council forced by the pope in Vatican II has been a disaster for protestants and their families. Catholics are taught that this was a move to protestantize their religion (lol!), and that protetantism is "liberalism." In reality, is was in tandem with the open S. border (Hart-Celler Act) with catholic creation of "liberation theology" to incite immigrants against anglos (protestants). Protestants in u.s. need to learn their history. Foxe's Book.

@lippertism ,kiss the popes ring?? NEVER!! NEVER!! NEVER!!

It is truly amazing that the book of Revelation, as it is properly interpreted using the Historicist method (which the majority of the Reformers used), actually encourages the study of church history: both its accomplishments, as well as its failures.

Soli Deo Gloria!

We should all be Catholic Protestants suck ASS

[gtepp031387]

People are allways looking for the antichrist. If you look at Martin Luther he forfilled many of the phropisyes he stood in the temple of the LORD and blasphimed all that we called good.
