John Calvin
A Heart Aflame
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame,
A Heart Aflame
The exiled French Reformer, John Calvin (1509-1564), ..Calvin's ideals of religious toleration, representative government, separation of powers, constitutionalising the monarchy, checks and balances, establishing the rights and liberties of citizens and a Christian work ethic, led to the industrial and scientific revolutions, developing the most productive and prosperous societies in history. Calvin's emphasis on the Sovereignty of God and the Lordship of Christ in all areas of life, inspired social reformers who transformed nations. His 1,000 page, Institutes of the Christian Religion, stands as a systematic masterpiece, one of the greatest Christian books in all of history. His motto was "Promptly and sincerely in the service of My God."

yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame,
by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
Daniel 11:33
