The years 400-800 A.D. were filled with terror as
nations were uprooted and millions were killed by different barbaric
tribes in an attempt by Satan to drown whatever was left of the
Christian faith and destroy the Western Roman Empire. Revelation
12:15 speaks about a flood of water spewing out of Satan's mouth and
this seems to be exactly what took place during the dark ages with
the great upheavals in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe as
nations were uprooted and millions were killed.
In the midst of this hellish dance of warring armies was the Roman
Catholic Church. Like a protected egg, it survived in the midst of
these warring armies and was able to exploit the pagans and make
them religious, so that they were willing to yield their political
power to the Pope of Rome.
Despite all this evil, the Holy Spirit was still present and working
in various men and women and the powerful Gospel message continued
to change lives despite Satan's opposition. The horror of this time
period will once again be repeated during the reign of the
Antichrist and you need to be ready with the remedy - the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. |
