The Great Controversy Chapter 13 Part 2: The Reformation in the Netherlands

– This week, Pastor Ted Wilson continues the discussion on chapter thirteen of The Great Controversy, “The Netherlands and Scandinavia,” in which Hans Tausen converts to Lutheranism and has a great effect on the people of Denmark. –

The New Testament, translated into the Danish language, was circulated widely, and before long, the entire country of Denmark declared its acceptance of the reformed faith. Two leaders of the Swedish Reformation, Olaf and Laurentius Petri, the sons of a blacksmith, studied under Luther and Melanchthon, and these brothers were eager to teach the truths they had learned.

The king of Sweden fully accepted the Protestant faith, and not long afterward, the national assembly declared in its favor, and children began reading the Bible in schools.

The Great Controversy Chapter 13: The Reformation in the Netherlands

 – This week, Pastor Ted Wilson discusses chapter thirteen of The Great Controversy, “The Reformation in the Netherlands,” in which Menno Simons, from one of the provinces of Holland, withdrew from the Roman Church and devoted his life to teaching the truth throughout the Netherlands and Northern Germany. –

Nowhere were the reformed doctrines more widely received than in the Netherlands, and sadly, nowhere did the believers endure more terrible persecution–even those who recanted their beliefs.

As we consider the faithfulness of these believers, we once again see how thousands have been willing to die for their faith, rather than give up the truths they found in the precious Word of God.
