And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Daniel 11:33-----"Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me. Amen." Luther, Reply to the Diet of Worms, April 18, 1521

Luther original writing found

"The publication by German theologian Martin Luther, called On the Freedom of a Christian, dates back to 1520.
This was a year before he was excommunicated by the Pope for criticizing the Catholic Church.
It includes around 50 notes written in red by Luther himself, indicating changes he wanted for a second edition.
The American who made the discovery, James Hirsten, said it gave an important insight into Luther's thinking at the time.
The annotated edition was found in The Humanist Library in Selestat, in the north-east of France.
Martin Luther launched the Reformation in Germany five centuries ago in response to what he said were excesses and abuses within the Church.
But his works, which also included Christian Liberty, To the Christian Nobility and On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, turned him against many of the major teachings of the Catholic Church." BBC
The days Luther lived in....
And he shall speak great words against the most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
Daniel 7:25
