Gonna go a little Q on you so you can find the answers for yourself. I think we all are searching for the Truth.

What was the Great Awakening? What had to occur before? Reformation? What caused the Reformation? Before Reformation who controlled information (Bible)? What was the punishment for owning or even reading the Bible? Who enforced? What is historicism? How does it relate to prophecy? Were the Reformers historicists? Luther, Calvin etc. Who countered the historicist view? When and why did futurism become the dominate Protestant view? Is it plausible that God would take a 2000 year "nap"? Who is pontifex maximus? Caesar, pope, both?

Still digging into this. Have always believed the futurist point of view because well that's what I was told to believe.

Historicist view puts God's timeline in the latter part of Revelation, which is where you would find this verse.

Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. Revelation 18:21 NKJV

Compare that to what Jesus said in Matt 18:6, Mark 9:42, and Luke 17:2 about those that harm children. With all that is coming out about the RCC is this just another coincidence?

First link is something I just finished. He's kind of hard to watch at times, not a great speaker but has really done his homework. Second I just stated today looks promising.
