The Silencing of Christ's Ministers not the Suppressing of Christ's Gospel
Mark 1:14
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,


Out of the ashes of a Faithful God raises up a Hopeful; for the immortal dreamer says: "Now I saw in my dream that Christian went not forth alone; for there was one whose name was Hopeful who joined himself unto him." Though the enemy burn a John Huss, God is able to raise up a Martin Luther to take his place: end the martyrdom of Ridley and Latimer does but "light a candle in England which shall never be put out." The casting of the Baptist into prison signalized the commencement of that ministry which unhinged the gates of hell.
