In the carrying on of the interest of Christ and the gospel, God will work wonderful providential alterations. When the beginning of the saints' departure from under the dominion of Antichrist was followed with wars, tumults, and destructions, it was objected to Luther, that that doctrine could not be of God which was attended with such desolations: he replied, according to the vigour of his spirit, "Ego nisi tumultus istos viderem, Christum in mundo esse non crederem;" — "Did he not see those tumults, he would not believe that Christ was come forth into the world."
John Owen — The Advantage of the Kingdom of Christ in the Shaking of the Kingdoms of the World (Sermon on Ezek. 17:24)
