ON ENDTIME PERSECUTIONS

meditateJesus said in Matthew 24:9 that persecution will increases believers will be hated by all nations because of Me. Jesus was asked by disciples about end times and sign of His coming. He told them there will be wars, famine, earthquakes but persecution increases before His return. This is prophecy being fulfilled lots of Christians were attacked for their faith over 500–600 million in one way or another. Jesus warned Christians to prepare against persecutions in peaceful ways. It is unjust hatred for personal faith in God and belief in Christ Jesus. Salvation is the greatest gift God gives mankind to set them free from an eternal punishment in hell fire. All who accept Jesus are children of God translated into God’s Kingdom from spiritual darkness. The choice to believe in Jesus causes hatred to those against Christ. Jesus said those who do not gather with Him are against Him have spirit of anti-Christ. It is time Christians seek God’s face in prayer and fast for God to SHORTEN the evil days or Jesus said all humans will perish. Pray for God’s help to overcome in adversity and enemies to know God’s plan for the world through Jesus Christ.
