120 The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan
“ Their lot was cast in evil days, but... they remembered the words first uttered by Huss, and repeated by Jerome, that a century must revolve before the day should break. These were to the Taborites [ Hussites ] what the words of Joseph were to the tribes in the house of bondage:‘ I die, and God will surely visit you, and bring you out.’” 157“ The closing period of the fifteenth century witnessed the slow but sure increase of the churches of the Brethren. Although far from being unmolested, they yet enjoyed comparative rest. At the commencement of the sixteenth century, their churches numbered two hundred in Bohemia and Moravia.” 158“ So goodly was the remnant which, escaping the destructive fury of fire and sword, was permitted to see the dawning of that day which Huss had foretold.”
