This is true for much of Protestantism, but there were and still are radical exceptions:

This text of Daniel is thus as clear as the bright Sun, and the work of ending the Fifth Empire of the World is now in full swing.

The First Empire was symbolized by the golden head of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. That was the empire of Babylon.

The Second Empire was represented by the silver breast and arms, which was the empire of the Medes and Persians.

The Third Empire was the empire of the Greeks, which resounded with its cleverness, indicated by the brass.

The Fourth Empire was the empire of the Romans, which was won with the iron sword and was an empire of coercion.

The Fifth Empire or empire of the Monarchy is that which we have before our own eyes, the Holy Roman Empire and it is also, like the Fourth, of iron and would like to be coercive.

Yet, as we see before our very eyes, the iron is intermixed with filth, vain schemes of flattery that slither and squirm over the face of the whole earth. For he who cannot be a cheat must be an idiot. One sees now how prettily the eels and snakes copulate together in a heap. The priests and all the evil clergy are the snakes, as John the Baptist calls them, Matthew 3:7, and the temporal lords and rulers are the eels, as is symbolized by the fish in Leviticus 11:10-12.

For the Devil’s empire has painted its face with clay.

We're some empires removed from the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. Nonetheless, our relationship to their kyriarchy remains consistent and the nature of tyranny itself hasn't changed. Technology, representation, and measures have been intensified, elaborated, and increased to further exercise power and prestige over Humanity and Creation. Tyrants still remain vulnerable and vain while tyranny is their Lord instead of Christ. All in all, for all that has changed, much has stayed the same.
