Persecution Will Offend The West.

The West proclaims to be so ready for escape, that it ignores the command of Jesus to endure to the end faithfully, no matter the cost. And it ignores the reality of the underground church, and our entire church history of blood and martyrdom.

Matthew 24:9/14 (study ALL of Matthew 24)

“Then they (those that hate you, the Jewish people and Jesus) will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake (we will be CHASED out of home and country). And then many will be offended (pretrib, preterists, reformed, Christian Nationalists, etc), will betray one another, and will hate one another (the world AND professing believers will betray us). Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness (sin) will abound, the love of many will grow cold (we see this even now). But he who endures to the end shall be saved (not escape into the clouds, but counting the cost of following Jesus). And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

• A time of persecution and even martyrdom is coming for every single soul that professes the name of Jesus on the face of the earth. For many, it will cause the most disruptive time in their lives never even conceived. It will bring them to have to make the decision of what Jesus is truly worth to them (2nd Timothy 3:12, Revelation 2:10, Revelation 6:9/11, Revelation 12:11, Revelation 13:1/10, Revelation 14:13, Revelation 16:4/7). It will cause entire denominations and ideologies to crumble (2nd Corinthians 11:3/4) and it will bring many to even be offended at Jesus Himself (Matthew 24:9/14).

• With the current rising hateful rhetoric towards Christians in general (especially those unafraid to speak and live the truth), how will you respond to a world where being a follower of Jesus suddenly becomes a crime or a death sentence? Many will not expect this in their lifetimes. Many more will have been so engrained and indoctrinated by corrupt ideologies, they will respond in an unfaithful or foolish manner which leaves them in panic and fear. But for the follower of Jesus that has prayed on these things and studied, they will have a clear conscience to respond in faith and be able to help others when their brethren become afraid.

• People in the USA are already condemning Christians choosing not to vote (because they see the evil on all sides). Christians are being threatened for standing with the Jewish people. Christians are seen as a public enemy for standing against the LGBTQ+ ideologies. And then we have professing Christians who hate Jews, showing vitriol hatred towards those who actually trust what the scriptures say about the ETERNAL covenants (Genesis 15, Jeremiah 33:19/26, Romans 11, etc). This ‘time’ of ‘trouble’ is not just for ‘those Jews’ as so many assume. It will affect the ENTIRE WORLD, and the church MUST be ready!
