Where Christians were Emancipated
It was at the Imperial Diet at Worms, in which Martin Luther was summoned and threatened with burning at the stake, with a host of devilish machinations in the flesh lying to him, attempting to persuade him to recant the Christian teachings where the line was laid in the sand for Christian freedom from the Vatican and the world in the year 1520 AD.
The place though where all Christians were emancipated was at Augsburg in Germany, where there assembled the Princes of Germany who in the year of our Lord, 1530 AD presented thee Augsburg Confession, placing themselves, their kingdoms and their peoples on the line, and at that moment rolling back the Vatican chains for Christianity across Europe for the people, of the people and by God.
The Imperial Diet at Augsburg as Martin Luther writes was the key to Rome being caught in her own lying traps.
Before that Diet was held, the Papists had made the Emperor believe that our doctrine was altogether frivolous; and when he came to the Diet, he should see that they would put us all to silence, insomuch that none of us should be able to speak a word in defence of our religion; but it fell out far otherwise; for we openly and freely confessed the Gospel before the Emperor and the whole Empire. And at that Diet we confounded our adversaries in the highest degree.
The Imperial Diet at Augsburg was invaluable, by reason of the Confession of Faith, and of God’s Word, which on our part was there performed: for there the adversaries were constrained to confess that our Confession was upright and true.
Martin Luther. Selections from the Table Talk of Martin Luther
I would believe that none reading this has an inkling of the importance of Augsburg to the Christians around the globe. It has all been censured and is not even spoken of in the Christian Protestant Churches by the cloak of satan thrown over it.
It was Martin Luther's benefactor, the Prince Elector of Saxony, kindred of the Emperor who first and alone appeared at Augsburg to the great astonishment of the Emperor, for his safety, but the Prince stood and as his multitude stood and confessed, the Right and True King, Jesus the Christ, turned the battle that the Emperor sided with the Christians and against Rome.
It was then the Papists attempted to take the crown from the Emperor for a Bavarian, which was not permitted.
At Augsburg the Christians confessed and at Augsburg, the power of the Empire changed from backing Rome to the Christians across the world.
This is not to say that Rome was vanquished for after Martin Luther died, his books were burned under influence of the Pope upon the Emperor. For 50 years, Luther's works were hidden and buried, until they the Table Talk book was translated from German into English to enlighten the Christian world again, this time being the coming British Empire which would oversea the planting of the Pilgrims and Colonists into America, completing the nursery for Christendom to flourish for the next 200 years.
Augsburg was the place with the Confession where God through Martin Luther's works and the German Princes standing in small number set at liberty the entire Christian world.
