The 3rd Bowl Poured Out

On the 31st of October, 2017, we celebrated the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's nailing the 95 theses to the door of Wittemberg Chapel. I along with many others believe that this event marks the official beginning of the Reformation; that glorious time when the errors and heresies of the Roman Catholic Church began to be decisively addressed, and when the truth of the gospel and the word of God which had been warped, twisted, and suppressed for many hundreds of years, began to emerge once again. The doctrine of justification by faith in Christ alone, not adding any of the works of man, either ecclesiastical or moral, was sounded forth by Luther, who took aim specifically at the practice of the selling of indulgences.
For those who love the truth of the Scriptures, and want to see Christ's kingdom come in a greater sense in our own day, you will find that, during this time, in the words and actions of the Reformers, especially seen in Luther and Melanchthon, is portrayed the very heart of the Reformation. And so, this afternoon I like 1st of all to show you how Moses' confrontation with Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is like the Reformers' confrontation with the Papacy at the Reformation. 2nd – I would like to show you just how the waters of the rivers and the springs of water represent the teaching and preaching of antichristian priests and people. And 3rd – I would like to show you an example of the fulfillment of pouring out of this bowl, in history.
