Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

Text: "I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;" Daniel 7:21 ; "And he shall ... wear out the saints of the most High, and ... they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." Daniel 7:25 Quote:    In 1212 a congregation of five hundred Waldensians was discovered at Strasburg. At first the bishop of that city sought to reason them out of their position against the Catholic faith; but such was their ready use of Scripture that disputations always inured to their advantage.

Daniel 7:25 Quote: [...] Le magistrat de Strasbourg s'en servit en 1211 pour découvrir les Vaudois, contre lesquels il n'y avait pas de preuves certaines. Il fit saisir plus de quatre-vingts personnes de l'un et de l'autre sexe, qui furent tous obligées de manier un fer chaud. Il n'est pas étonnant que la plupart eurent les mains entièrement brûlées. A cette marque, qui passait pour le jugement de Dieu, ils furent déclarés coupables et condamnés au feu.
