samkadya Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Whereas Voltaire and other infidels had predicted that the Bible would soon be a forgotten book in all the world, we now see how the Scriptures "ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them." The Scriptures have indeed been exalted since the French Revolution. In 1804 the British and Foreign Bible Society was organized for the translation and publication of the Scriptures in many languages; in 1816 the American Bible Society was organized for the same purpose; and by now the Bible has been translated into well over 1,000 languages and dialects and is published worldwide. The "great earthquake," in which "the tenth of the city fell," is understood to refer to how the French Revolution cut France's support of the papacy although France had been the original kingdom which established the political power of the papacy. "When France publicly rejected God and set aside the Bible, wicked men and spirits of darkness exulted in their attainment of the object so long desired—a kingdom free from the restraints of the law of God. . . . But the transgression of a just and righteous law must inevitably result in misery and ruin. . . . Those who had chosen the service of rebellion were left to reap its fruits until the land was filled with crimes too horrible for pen to trace. From devastated provinces and ruined cities a terrible cry was heard, a cry of bitterest anguish. France was shaken as if by an earthquake." God help our governments in our modern world never to forget the lesson of France!

However in case any see that as totally unnerving, we have this promise. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”....Luke 21 God is Love!
