dominated your landscape being uprooted and cast into the sea,
wouldn’t the emptiness of your new horizon shock you?
That pretty well pictures the uprooting of Protestantism that has
become strikingly apparent as Roman Catholicism has virtually taken
over the public consciousness of this once-Protestant nation of the
United States. Roman Catholicism once pervaded Europe for 1260 years,
but toward the end of that period of reign the great Protestant
Reformation burst into life and blazed through Catholic Europe. It
dealt to the Papacy what the book of Revelation describes as a “deadly
wound” (13:3). Multitudes joined the fearless public “protest” against
the non-biblical doctrines and claims of the Papacy. Out of the giant
upheaval one development was the formation of a new nation in North
America that grew out of the revolted 13 colonies of Britain that were
here. The stated purpose of its revered founders was to establish a
nation without a king and a church without a pope. It has grown
phenomenally into the one world power that is capable of fulfilling
the rest of Revelation’s prophecy of the future of the newly healed
and restored Papacy (vss. 11-18).
Now its national presence seems to be transformed into a Roman
Catholic one. The world watches in wonder as the miracle of ages
happens before our eyes: the “deadly wound [is] healed” (vs. 3), and
this once humble nation that was “like a lamb” during its Protestant
era is preparing to “speak as a dragon” (vss. 11-17 again). It will
seek to revive the power of those 1260 years.
But wait a moment: a protesting Voice will yet “lighten the earth with
[the] glory” of a true gospel message (18:1-4). It will be the
confrontation of the ages.
