Adventist History | The Reformation (Part 1)

Explore the historical backdrop of the Adventist movement, starting with the predicted “falling away” (apostasy) prophesied in 2 Thessalonians 2. Trace how pagan practices and traditions gradually infiltrated the early Christian church, leading to the rise of the papacy and the union of church and state. Discover the legacy of faithful groups like the Waldenses who preserved biblical truth during the Dark Ages, and key Reformers like John Wycliffe (the “Morning Star”) and John Hus (“the Goose”) who challenged papal corruption and paved the way for Martin Luther. Understand the context and impact of Luther’s 95 Theses against indulgences, sparked by corruption and protected by divine providence through Elector Frederick’s prophetic dreams, setting the stage for the Protestant Reformation.
