“Christian Persecution – A religious persecution that Christians sometimes undergo as a consequence of professing their faith, both historically and in the current era. In the two thousand years of the Christian faith, about 70 million believers have been killed for their faith, of whom 45.5 million or 65% were in the twentieth century according to “The New Persecuted.”
Persecution still remains a present day problem. Even though we may not be in the midst of the trials, they are still happening around us.
Recently the local government in Lake Worth, Fla. has cracked down KGB style on a local church for worshiping in the church owned coffee shop—No joke!! Could this be some type of government “trial run” to see how the towns people would react? Or is it just due happenstance? Here is the breaking report…
Here is the report on Fox News…
Whether you want to believe these events are happening or just push them under the rug is up to you, however, these events did occur and unfortunately are still occurring today. For we are getting close to the day that here in American we will suffer extreme persecution. It is at the door! Executive orders have been signed by our President, labor camps have been setup, our government has stockpiled guns and ammo, Christians have been put on the terrorist list.
For the Bible tells us in the last days…
“They will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.” Luke 21:12
We must remember to put our faith, hope, and trust in the Lord. We must be willing to give up everything for an undeniable God whose reality has been relevant since the beginning of time and whose existence we can’t deny. Be ready! Be ready! For extreme persecution is not coming to America… it’s already here!
