This week, Pastor Ted Wilson continues discussing Chapter 15 of The Great Controversy, “The Bible and the French Revolution,” in which an official legislative body unanimously renounced the belief and worship of God in 1793. For centuries, the blood of martyrs was shed in France—the Waldenses, the Albigenses, and the brave Huguenots—all attempted to bring the light of the Gospel into their country.
Persecution of the Protestants in France culminated under Louis XIV. A devout Catholic who was known as "The Sun King," Louis XIV approved what became known as the "St. Bartholomew Massacre"—one of the bloodiest and most ruthless massacres of all time.
