THE ADVENT TRUTH
The Protestant Reformers dared to preach Jesus as the only Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and for that—Rome turned their fire toward them. Men like Huss, Jerome, Tyndale, and countless others were condemned not for crime or rebellion, but for translating Scripture, exposing corruption, and proclaiming salvation through faith in Christ alone.
While the Reformers lifted up the cross, the religious establishment lifted up the sword. History repeats itself whenever the church trades truth for power. Revelation 17–18 foretells of a system once again “drunken with the blood of the saints,” whose influence will unite church and state in the name of peace, but against the Word of God.
The Reformers stood because conscience bound them to Scripture, declaring, “Here I stand, I can do no other.” That same courage will be needed again. The dragon’s wrath hasn’t disappeared—it’s only waiting for the right moment to roar (Revelation 12:17). When you preach the unfiltered gospel, don’t be surprised if modern “religious leaders” give you the same look the Catholic hierarchy once gave those who spoke truth—they may not light literal fires, but they’ll still try to silence you.
The question is: will we stand for the same truth they died for, or blend into the comfort of compromise? The Reformation wasn’t a moment—it’s a movement that continues until Christ returns.
Let the fire that once burned beneath them burn within us.
