The Reformation came, and within a third of a<br />

century from its inception powerful nations of<br />

Europe had been wrenched away from the papacy.<br />

Would one now be tempted to say that this was the<br />

time that the church came up out of the wilderness?<br />

Hardly. The Reformation forms part of the history<br />

covered by the Church in the Wilderness. It falls<br />

inside the 1260-year period. The twelfth chapter of<br />

Revelation, however, does not present the<br />

Reformation church as the successor of the Church<br />

in the Wilderness. The Remnant Church, or the last<br />

church, is to proclaim the soon-coming of Jesus<br />

Christ and the keeping of<br />

“the commandments of God, and the faith of<br />

Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)<br />

The Remnant Church is the true and final<br />

successor to the Church in the Wilderness.<br />
