12 Following the Flow You see, the Reformers were able to follow the sequence of events in Daniel 7 and they could clearly discern that the little horn rose immediately after the Roman Empire had been broken up by the barbarian invasions. They understood that the restrainer (the Roman Empire) of II Thessalonians 2 had been taken out of the way by the barbarian invasions and that the papacy had taken its place. They clearly saw that the Church had become the harlot of Revelation 17 and had set up the abomination of desolation mentioned by Jesus in the prophecy of Matthew chapter 24. Dr. Leroy Edwin Froom explained the importance of Bible prophecy as a catalyst in the message of the Reformers: “In Germany, Switzerland, France, Denmark, Sweden, England, and Scotland there had been simultaneous and impressive declarations by voice and pen that the Papacy was the specified Antichrist of prophecy. The symbols of Daniel, Paul, and John were applied with tremendous effect. Hundreds of books and tracts impressed their contention upon the consciousness of Europe. Indeed, it gained so great a hold upon the minds of men that Rome, in alarm, saw that she must successfully counteract this identification of Antichrist with the Papacy, or lose the battle.” L. E. Froom, The Prophetic Faith of our Fathers, volume 2, pp. 484, 485 The understanding of Bible prophecy provided the mandate for the Reformers to preach the pure gospel and to unmask this system that had perverted the Scriptures and adulterated the apostolic gospel. Thus the Reformers attempted to bring the church back to the present truth that was preached by Peter and the apostles after the Day of Pentecost. They knew why God had raised them up and what their mission was. No Plan to Leave It was not Martin Luther’s plan to leave the Roman Catholic Church. His intense desire was for the Church to return to the apostolic faith that Jesus is [1] our righteousness, that [2] His once-for-all death is sufficient and that [3] He now intercedes for those who claim the benefits of His life and death. But when the Church rejected the message and persecuted those who were proclaiming it, the Church fell into total darkness. God was giving the papacy a golden opportunity to return to the apostolic faith and preaching but she rejected that opportunity. Because the papacy fell into incurable apostasy, the Reformers called people to leave the apostate Church and join the Protestant movement where the genuine gospel of righteousness by faith was preached. Thousands upon thousands embraced the message of revival and entire countries were lost to the papacy. Thus an understanding of the prophecies of Scripture provided the impetus for the Protestant Reformation to thrive and proliferate. Pastor Stephen Bohr
