(HISTORY AND OUTLINES OF CHURCH PERIODS)
Shalom!
^ About the Book of Revelation brother Branham had talked much, but not all (cf., for example, 8c§89₁156).
That's why among others S, T, (+B,) and W marks have been used throughout my book to explore connections. In this way, the historical lines and schedules become better visible.
^ As regards the revival periods there are two segments. The chain of events of the first four revival ages and of the three last revival ages {5b§6(8)10}.
Similarly, the trumpets in heaven (and the bowls) are divided into two main parts.
^ The revivals of the first church ages gradually shrank and diminished with the advent and strengthening of the Roman Catholic Church, Islam, and other idolatry directions. On the other hand, in Europe ruled by the Popes, the Christian traditions were preserved, but the Holy Spirit and the original Truth were missing.
Since the Reformation in 1520, the revivals and the rediscovery of truths were no longer events at the center of societies. They arose only where Christians united and together resisted the power structures of their state. Martin Luther was so decisive in this work that he can be found as the star messenger of the Sardis church period, even though towards the end of his life he had completely wrongly begun to oppose the Jews and their religion. When after the Reformation, Germany turned back to its Roman Catholic roots, it became a nasty breeding ground for the coming Holocaust / systematic destruction of the Jews (e.g. 4b§1317).
^ This resistance was also evident in the 80-year war between Holland and Germany (1568-1648). At the end Sweden and Holland had become leading Protestant countries.
A little later England had its own great revival of the Philadelphia church age, which swept also in a remarkable way the United States (1b§1-3).
Praying at all times in the Spirit (Eph. 6:18), Bert
