Christians in America maybe persecuted-before the Rapture

This is not meant to scare you but to inform so that we can all be as prepared as possible for some bad times to come, before the Lord comes.

Christians have been and are being persecuted as I type this, all over the world. They are being murdered, maimed, burned and jailed for their faith in Jesus Christ and not defecting from it, even under the threat of death.

We have been blessed in America, so far, that we haven’t faced these types of actions, yet. However, there is nothing in scripture that says “American Christians” will be saved from any of this. On the contrary, Jesus states in Matt 10:22 “Andye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (KJ)

We have witnessed for several years how the liberal media hates conservatives and Christians as does this particular (but not limited to) administration. In the last two weeks, we have seen the liberal media after the massacre in Colorado, report Holmes (shooter) was a Tea Party Member (conservative party of people-mostly Christians) before they had an accurate body/injury count. Then we have Chick-fil-A fiasco, where the CEO (Dan Cathy) is interviewed on a Christian talk radio program about his faith. He says nothing about **** or hate, just that he believes in traditional marriage (one-man one woman) and family. The liberal news and **** activists go wild, accusing him of hate speech and start rallying their troops for boycotts and Christian bashing. (We know how well that turned out)  J

Below is a video clip of Obama saying when he is elected a second term, he tells his audience;”wait until I am elected a second term and see the war on Christmas”.

While he (barely) smirked after this remark, we all know what he meant “Christians” not Christmas he is serious. His actions against Christians already speak volumes.

My long point is we may very well go through persecution in America, especially if Obama gets re-elected. Pray and keep in mind, Revelation 2:10-11 “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hearwhat the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcomethshallnot be hurtof the second death.”

Keep the Prayers up we need it, Amen!

Lord, please protect Your children!!!  It really is getting scary down here...we must always remeber to keep our eyes on Jesus, no matter what. He is our stregnth, and we must hold on to Him...He will take us through, and HE will rescue us, before God's wrath is poured out on this planet.

Neko.

Hi Chondram  ,

I feel a little confused now. I have always believed that Jesus spoke of tribulation and the Christians who are living in it in Matthew 10:22 "But he that endureth to the end shall be saved." "The end" here is that not when Jesus returns to earth for 2. time in the Mount of Olives? Maybe I'm wrong, I have only been a Christian for a few years, so I do not know everything. But I do believe in a pretrib rapture, so I know we will not have to endure to the end. 

Hi Chondram, you are right, Christians in Mexico are being killed for their faith and Obama like he say's in the video...he is going to win the war on Christ-mas/ians.

So things are hotting up for everyone and if we have to face some persecution from Satan's followers, may we be prepared in The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Everyone forgets that it is just the Wrath of God that we are not subjected to, Satan's followers are at present beheading/shooting/blowing up  Christians around The World, we must all be BRAVE and pray for those who are being persecuted.

Help Us Gracious Lord To Keep Strong And Persevere In Your Name. AMEN

Believers across the muslim world are being persecuted in a greater way than ever before.  The Romans were pikers compared to the Muslims.  Turkery murdered 1.5 million Christians about a century ago.  Christians across the muslim world are currently desparately trying to flee.  Of course the entire Muslim world has already emptied of Jews -- most countries have only a literal handful, if any, left.  Time to wake up.  Tribulation quality suffering appears to be already in full swing for a lot of people.  It simply hasn't gotten here yet.  We may not get it from man, but we certainly will from God -- if for no other reason than because we've done next to nothing to help the suffering brethren around the world.

Well said Robbie!!

 Look here is a take on the tribulation if you want to see it in it's simplest form....Mind you these are my words and my view.....

The wrath that is poured out is done because a world that is full of man, which in turn is full of sin and If I may add sees nothing wrong with living how they want...Godless, has turned their back on the one and only God. Most of the secular world worships at many different alters...The altar of self,pride,money,lust,drugs,beauty,sexual immorality, Idols, false gods,living the good life.

The world is screaming,"We dont need you God!!" So....He will give the world just what it asks for....A world with no light.No salt. As Robbie stated above, we are not appointed to God's wrath....And the persecution going on in other parts of the world do not pertain to the wrath poured out in the trib. That is not to say we should not pray for our suffering brothers and sisters...We should. But we are promised to be saved from the hour of destruction. The biggest reason Christians are being killed,jailed or tortured in other countries, is these countries have been anti-Christian for centuries. Sad but...This has been going on for hundreds of years.

When God removes his people through the rapture and says,"Enough!" This world will be getting what it longs for. A world where they are free to do as they please...Or so they think...Satan is the father of lies and a world without accountability will not be the paradise they think it will be.

As for the trib. saints....Yes...It will be a hard,hard life....But they will be glorified in the end but at the same time I am sure they will be saying,"I wish I had listened and heeded the call before the rapture!" But...living in that horrible enviroment will also be their lot for NOT heeding the call.

 Scipio...You said,

"Tribulation quality suffering appears to be already in full swing for a lot of people.  It simply hasn't gotten here yet.  We may not get it from man, but we certainly will from God -- if for no other reason than because we've done next to nothing to help the suffering brethren around the world."

I will ask you a question....Purely in love...Do you pray for the Christians in hostile countries?I am sure you do....What else can you do? We can not load up in my F-150 and drive to Egypt to fight the muslim brotherhood...Pray... and then pray somemore...Pray for the muslim brotherhood or whoever else is hurting these Christians....God will not punish you for something you can not control. Pray....We are so close....This earth is groaning louder each day!! Jesus is coming!!
