The Age of Enlightenment followed the Reformation.
The Reformation was a result of Revelation of the Word of God concerning Grace and Faith.
Whenever there is Revelation , Satan goes on the attack. He pitted Catholic against Protestant, Protestant against Protestant , Reason against Faith , Science against God and so sidetracked and undermined the Fruit of Revelation.
The Age of Enlightenment is also known as the Age of Reason and began in the early to mid 1600`s.
Satan is a master of twisting Words and hijacking them for his purpose.
Enlightenment is a beautiful word and concept. However, the Atheists and Agnostics who elevated Reason above Revelation hijacked it to apply to their satanic logic.
Out of their Perverted Enlightenment came Psychology, Evolution, Secular Humanism , Socialism , Communism and self-worship.
True Enlightenment comes by Revelation from God. The Word of God and His Holy Spirit are the means of Revelation.
Jesus talked about Light and Repentance. Light is Revelation. Repentance is changing your way of thinking with respect to the Light.
Jesus is the Light of the world. In Him is Enlightenment
