Greetings John and Doves,

    I just want to thank John B for thanking Gino for posting the info on Christians being persecuted in America, and thanking Gerlinda for her post on the Zionist Occult Connection. I did want to point out that both of these were  first posted on Steven K's Web Site. I do highly recommend frequent visits as he usually post info here before it's seen anywhere else.

     We are very spoiled in our American walk with The Lord, and Blessed to not have suffered persecution, but surely we have turned from Him as a Nation and I fear (in a healthy " the beginning of wisdom is fear of The Lord" way) that when a world wide persecution of the Saints comes, America will suffer. Are we better than the Disciples who all were martyred but one, or the Church as a whole before Rome became a Christian Nation, or any of the martyrs of history. May God have mercy on us and give us the strength to lay down our lives for our Savior. 

Agape,

Charles Holler Sr

"Is there a possibility that this could happen?"

Is there a possibility that we could face persecution in America, even before the blessed hope (rapture)?

There were many Christians persecuted during the first few hundred years of church history, and that was before the blessed hope.

There were many Christians persecuted by Islam, as it first spread, before the blessed hope.

There were many Christians persecuted by Rome, during the Inquisition, before the blessed hope.

There were many Christians persecuted by Queen Mary, before the blessed hope.

There were many Christians persecuted by the Communists, in the 20th century, before the blessed hope.

There are many Christians being persecuted in North Korea, right now, before the blessed hope.

There are many Christians being persecuted in Nigeria, right now, before the blessed hope.

There are many Christians being persecuted in Islamic countries, like Sudan, Iran, etc., right now, before the blessed hope.

 

Could things turn on us here?

What if the US, like Babylon, becomes, or has become, the habitation of devils & the hold of every foul spirit?

If the enemy is given permission to persecute the Christians, by influencing leaders & by possessing those who would do the dirty work, could it happen?

Two hundred years ago, if you were to tell the average American on the street, what they thought about:

That America would be systematically & legally murdering babies in their mother’s wombs, would they have said that you were insane?

That America would be in a frenzy to spread & legalize sodomy, and sodomite marriage, would they have said that you were insane?

That America would be experimenting with mixing the DNA of different creatures, would they have said that you were insane?

That America would be spying on all its citizens, would they have said that you were insane?

That America would be disarming all its law abiding citizens, while arming Mexican drug lords & al Qaeda, would they have said that you were insane?

That America would be the largest producer of pornography & the largest consumer of drugs, would they have said that you were insane?

 

So, why would it be so hard to imagine America becoming a persecutor of Christians.

If it would be Satanically orchestrated, demonically empowered by an innumerable horde, and permitted by the LORD, then what?

It could then happen virtually overnight, and it could strike with such suddenness & ferocity, that most everyone would be in shock.

If the persecutors & tormentors would be demonically empowered, the intensity of the cruelty would be staggering.

 

What would we do if we found ourselves suddenly facing that?

What would we do if we found out that we have actually been Laodicean Christians all along?

Sure, many may very well be prepared for the blessed hope.

However, how many of us are prepared for persecution, if that should allowed here, before the blessed hope?

How ready are we?

 

How many would flee in terror, or be powerless against the consuming fear?

How many would deny the LORD to escape torment?

How many would betray the LORD, by betraying one another to the persecutors, to escape torment?

How many would become bitter against the LORD for letting it happen?

 

Do American Christians have a special promise, that only they will never see persecution before the blessed hope?

 

Is there a possibility that this could happen?
