How Did The Reformation Affect The Modern View Of Politics
The Reformation has profoundly affected the modern view of politics and law. Before the Reformation the Church governed politics; she controlled emperors and kings and governed the law of lands. One of the significant impetus to the Reformation was the decline in papal power and prestige during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries (pg, 320). The Protestant Reformation in the 1500s changed the course of history. It helped move Europe out of the Dark Ages and led to the rise of true religious freedom. It's original principles eventually found expression in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America which teaches that when it comes to religion, the government of earth have no right to control the conscience.
The
Bible and Spirit of Prophecy have predicted that the freedom that America and the rest of the world mainly Christian nations are fast coming to an end. The nation of America with the aid of Protestant churches will be at the forefront to change the principles of freedom of worship, into that of enforcement, and this is the creation of the image to the beast, that revelation has spoken about in other ways. It's the Protestant churches that fought so hard against the doctrines and traditions of the Catholic church lin collaboration with the American government which will revive the papacy. Today most Protestant churches have made apologies to the Catholic church for the reformation which occurred some five hundred years ago. All I can say is that we are the brink of major prophetic fulfillment, we just have to be ready. Historians often root the Reformation in various social, economic, and political conflicts, seeing people's decisions to become Protestant or remain Catholic as expressions of other, non-religious considerations. (There are good reasons for this approach.) When all is said and done, however, the Reformation was a battle over Christian doctrine. And so it is necessary, to begin with (pg, 323).
