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

What was used to Burn Huss?

"One of Wycliffe’s followers, John Huss, actively promoted Wycliffe’s ideas:
*that people should be permitted to read the Bible in their own language,
*
and they should oppose the tyranny of the Roman church that threatened anyone possessing a non-Latin Bible with execution.

Huss was burned at the stake in 1415, with Wycliffe’s manuscript Bibles used as kindling for the fire.

The last words of John Huss were that, “in 100 years, God will raise
up a man whose calls for reform cannot be suppressed
.” 
Almost exactly 100 years later, in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 Theses of Contention (a list of 95 issues of heretical theology and crimes of the Roman Catholic Church) into the church door at Wittenberg. 
The prophecy of Huss had come true!"

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.
