And remember "one word shall fall him" refers to the Pope and "alone" as in justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone...
But that phrase refers to "The Prince of Darkness grim"! I always thought this was probably Satan, not the Pope....;)
Luther increasingly came to equate the Pope with antiChrist. He saw the battle over justification as one between Satan and God, papacy and a renewed Church.
Well, poor Luther went a little mad there eventually. He got to be a big nasty anti-Semite towards the end, too, when he wasn't at all previously.I wonder what happened to him, in fact? Clinically-speaking, that is....
