Waldenses - People of the Valleys | Episode 6 | Lineage

Continuing our journey through history, we explore Revelation 12:6 - the Church in the Wilderness - through the experience of the Waldensians. The Waldensians didn't see themselves as reformers needing to be separate to Rome, as they said that they never belonged to it. They have a history dating back several centuries prior to the time of the Apostolic faith. Over the next couple of episodes, we will visit the valleys that they called home, and see where they lived and died. They then saw their faithfulness and commitment to mission and service for God.

I’m a Netzer which is also a waldension, wow this is amazing how you are bringing out the history of the true branch of of the messianics. I had a vision in 1978 and before my eyes a branch formed in front of me, it took forty years for me to realize what it’s significance was, a few months ago Yehovah told me that I was a true branch an original Netzer where we get the Hebrew word branch, and a specific type of branch from an olive tree that it’s root comes up in a distant location from the original tree, even if the has died it will spring forth sometimes hundreds of years later, the very earliest Messianics were called notzerim, as in Yeshua of Nazareth, so Yehovah said to me I’m raising you up in the last days from the root of David (Yeshua) a branch unto YeHoVah, and that I would lead the Children of God home. Thank you for this amazing information

Thank you for posting these Episode of Waldenses. I’ve been there twice. It was so touched when I get into one of the old cave. And our group sung a hymn inside the cave...was overwhelmed.

May we use the gifts we have, to spread HIS truth to what we really are....Rev 12:17, Rev 14:12...and what we are supposed to become...like the Waldensian's and the early church of Acts called the Nazarium...may we have the courage to stand, and stand to the end. Thank you for these beautiful productions!!!

"It is a vulgar mistake, that the Waldenses were so called from Peter Waldo of Lyons. They were much more ancient than him; and their true name was Vallenses or Vaudois from inhabiting the valleys of Lucerne and Agrogne. This name, Vallenses, after Waldo appeared about the year 1160, was changed by the Papists into Waldenses, on purpose to represent them as of modern origin." -John Wesley (1703-1791)

[m.p.courdin]

"As for the Waldenses, give me leave to call them the very seed of the primitive and purer Christian church, being those who have been so upheld(as it is clear and manifest)by the admirable Providence of God, that neither those infinite storms and tempest whereby the whole Christian world has been shaken for so many ages together, and at length the Western part so miserably oppressed by that bishop of Rome, falsely so called, nor those horrible persecutions which have been directed against them, were ever able so far to prevail them, as to make them bend or yield a voluntary subjection to Roman tyranny and idolatry." Theodore Beza, Icones (1580)

where can we see references for the names used to describe this group in the early centuries eg, Insabati, Subota, Sambata, Isaboid, iwesabata, (like local historical sources) I once stayed in Indonesia for 2 months in 2013 at an SDA college (Unklab Fekon Universitas in Airmadidi, Manado) very beautiful place and so friendly I learned much of the bahasah/language and went to many churches there, I was also baptised in a sea on the coast (Boyon Pantai) there too, but at the time I didn't fully understand what the Pastor was saying but we spent much time at his beach house and his ministry in Teling in Manado (the church were called Agape Pumorrow Advent Gerega) but I learned that the word for Saturday in almost every language is also translated as rest too so the Islamic Indonesians or protestant (GMIM) Indonesians would call Saturday "Sabtu" which means Saturday but also rest, they still rest on Fri or Sun depending on which faith they follow whilst we as Adventists would say Sabat starting Friday at 6pm.... in Indonesia its dark at 6pm every day and light at 6am so no confusion as to when Sabbath should start but in UK we have sunset at 9;30 sometimes its dark at 4pm too

"It is well-known that in the days of Constantine the Great some assemblies of Jewish Christians, being persecuted in Rome because they persisted in obedience to the Law of Moses, wandered off into the valleys where their descendants remain today." - Pope Gregory VII (Papal reign 1073-1085)

What is the evidence that the Waldenses kept the 7th dad sabbath (for example)? Wouldn't it be a good idea to give some links to historical or primary source material, maybe in the description if you don't want to interrupt the flow of the video? I see that there is a link to an article, but the article is very similar to the video, and doesn't have any references either.

[CultureAndLove]

Amazing episode. An edit: they were named after the very day upon which they rested. (To be precise.)
