24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
And in her was found the blood of prophets and the saints – from Rev 17:6, we read that she was drunk with the blood of the saints, not just the saints of the Reformation time, but the blood of the saints that began with Constantine’s death penalties to those who protected the writings of Arius. The bloodshed of those who would not worship the image of the beast continued until the end of the Reformation. Besides these, the Church burned thousands at the stake through the inquisitions, and in the estimation of Voltaire, was responsible for the death of 50 million persons from 325 until the 1700’s.
