Prophecy Update: Persecution in the Last Days
One of the great signs of the end times is the persecution that will come to Christians and Jews. I have heard statements like this in the last year; “This last year has been the most anti-Semitic year since World War 2.” “More Christians have been killed in the last year than ever in history.” The uptick in persecution around the world is further evidence that we are living right before Jesus comes back to get His bride. The prophets of the Old Testament are clear that Israel will endure great persecution in the last days. Jesus promised us that we would face persecution.
“But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death, and you will be hated by all because of My name.”
Luke 21:16-17
We have been free of persecution in the United States until Barak Obama became President. Our nation was built on the Judeo Christian worldview and is still clinging to a vestige of that worldview. During the Obama administration, we saw a concerted effort by the government to persecute Christians over the Sodom and Gomorrah rules put in place by immoral government officials. The persecution was minimal. Protect the Sodom and Gomorrah crowd or lose your bakery, flower shop, or job. Under president Trump that went away, but it’s back under Joe Biden. With the threats against Christians comes more antisemitism, more than I have ever seen in our country.
“White Noise and the Haters of Israel: “White noise” is often what I hear when leftist or progressive critics of Israel make their arguments against the Jewish state. It is not only that their accusations of ethnic cleansing, colonialism, and genocide are often blood libels. It is also a question of standing. That is, by what right do these people presume to judge Israel and the Jewish people — and declare them guilty of the most heinous crimes? The Israel-haters, especially on the progressive left, believe this quite strongly: they are quite certain that they are a caste of saints, the finest and most moral people who have ever existed. As such, they consider their ethos infinitely superior to that of anyone else.” algemeiner.com
The progressive left, otherwise known as communists, are firmly in control of our government. They are squaring off against the Christians in congress and the courts. Their leaders, people like Cortez, Talib, and Omar, are constantly pushing the Democrats to abandon Israel and support Jihad against the Jews. They constantly push laws that attack the constitution, demean Christians and Jews, and seek the destruction of Israel.
“Ilhan Omar, Muslim congresswoman, branded ‘jihadi’ in Facebook posts shared by Republican challenger: Danielle Stella, a congressional candidate attempting to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar, repeatedly shared a social media post Thursday referring to her incumbent opponent as a “jihadi.” Indeed, Ms. Stella was banned from Twitter late last year after tweeting about putting Ms. Omar on trial for treason and having her hanged by the neck until dead if found guilty.” washingtontimes.com
Thank God for Danielle Stella who is standing up for the truth. Ilhan Omar is not an American citizen, is committed to Jihad, and masquerades in Congress as an American. She takes the side of the Iranians against Israel and America every time. At least Benjamin Netanyahu recognized this a few years ago.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday barred Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from visiting his country, saying their planned trip would have boosted the anti-Israel boycott movement.”washingtontimes.com
The big battle in the world over Israel is Iran. You seriously cannot make this stuff up. I think sometimes that the leaders of the world read the bible and figure out how they can fulfill Bible prophecy. The nations are meeting again to make a deal with Iran concerning their nuclear program. The P5+1 is the United Nations gang of clueless nations dedicated to blessing Iran and cursing Israel. The Security Council’s five permanent members (the P5) are China, France, Russia, Britain, and the United States; plus Germany. Notice who is not part of the negotiation? Israel is left out of the negotiations, they are trying to make a deal with Iran that most effects Israel. The Bible also teaches that Israel will be isolated and alone in the last days, especially when Russia and Iran attack Israel.
“Iranian Brig.-Gen. urges destruction of Israel prior to nuke talks: “We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter. We want to destroy Zionism in the world,” Shekarchi told the Iranian Students News Agency. Shekarchi’s genocidal antisemitic remarks come just days before the nuclear talks are set to restart in Vienna Monday on curbing the Islamic Republic of Iran’s illicit nuclear program.”jpost.com
The supporters of Iran in our government are empowering Iran to threaten and attack Israel. Even our own president is on board with this evil hatred of Jews. Biden threatens Israel over ties to Jerusalem and the land of Israel constantly and the State department is committed to kicking Israel out of the land.
‘The entire land is ours’ – Israel erased from Palestinian school maps. At an event sponsored by the Palestinian Authority’s Education Ministry, regional maps were displayed with Israel erased, alongside banners reading “Palestine – the entire land is ours, from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Jordan] River. The expression “From the river to the sea,” which has been used in international pro-Palestinian demonstrations, states that Israel has no right to exist and that what is now the Jewish State should be replaced by a Palestinian state.” worldisraelnews.com
Our US ambassador to the UN just announced how upset she was with Israel over the attempt to build more homes in their homeland. This is Biblical prophecy happening at the UN constantly, every time they object to Israel building homes in Judea and Samaria, they are fulfilling Bible prophecy. As the nation’s line up to attack Israel, Israel will not be alone in this fight. God promises to bless them with the land of Israel.
“I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.”
Joel 3:2
“Israel ‘very disturbed’ with US willingness to lift sanctions on Iran. The nuclear talks between Iran and the major powers are slated to be renewed in the coming days in Vienna, and Israel “is very disturbed by the willingness to lift the sanctions and allow billions to flow into Iran in exchange for insufficient restrictions in the nuclear sphere,” stated Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.” worldisraelnews.com
God brought Israel into the land of Israel for an important purpose. He is moving them into position where they will have to trust only in God and in Jesus who is the Holy One of Israel. The Tribulation period will make this a reality. It is sad how much they will have to endure until that day happens. Meanwhile, the church will also endure much suffering for Our Lord Jesus until the rapture. Here is a summary of several nations that are full on persecuting the church.
Ali Harbi Ali, a 25-year-old Muslim man of Somali descent, lunged at and repeatedly stabbed British MP Sir David Amess with a knife. Amess, 69, died soon after…. It is worth noting that, when it comes to severely persecuting and slaughtering Christians, Somalia is the world’s third-worst ranked nation, after Afghanistan (#2) and North Korea (#1) . gatestoneinstitute.org
Remember that Ilhan Omar is from Somalia and Minnesota has a large population of Somali’s many of them are committed to Jihad and civilization Jihad, the takeover of the USA for Islam.
“The Christians are treated as slaves bounded to Muslims… Christians enjoy no rights, no dignity, and no protection in this country. The overall system of society is based on religious hatred against Christians and other minorities.” — Asif Muniwar, local human rights defender; International Christian Concern, October 12, 2021, Pakistan” gatestoneinstitute.org
As our government gives billions of dollars to Pakistan, Pakistan gives billions of dollars to groups dedicated to the destruction of Israel, Christianity, and the USA. The amount of deception that covers the eyes of our congress is astounding. Consider this quote from this years budget: “Funding for Pakistan will support strengthened democratic governance, particularly near the Afghan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province; address the drivers of violent extremism and support stability in Afghanistan and expand economic growth, including by bilateral trade and investment where possible,” said the proposal the department sent to Congress on Friday.” dawn.com
“War on terror aid: Pakistan received $33.4bn from US: the approved civilian and security-related aid to Pakistan from 2002 to 2016 was only $18.8 billion, according to the statistics compiled by US authorities.” tribune.com
Giving money to nations like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran only increases persecution to Jews and Christians.
“Many shops were looted after they set them on fire. Church of Christ in All Nation (COCIN) was also burned down…. “[M]any houses were set ablaze. Bulls used for farming were also killed.” A local eyewitness said the murderers were dressed in Nigerian army uniforms and traveling in two vans owned by the Nigerian army. — International Christian Concern, October 17, 2021, Nigeria, which U.S. Secretary of Antony Blinken just removed from its 2021 List of “Countries of Particular Concern”. gatestoneinstitute.org
Antony Blinken is anti-Semitic and anti-Christian, all of his policies will lead to the deaths of Christians. Nigeria has become the epicenter of Muslims murdering Christians in the world.
“Nigeria’s government seems unable or unwilling to stop the growing carnage…. More Christians have been killed for their faith in Nigeria in the last year than in the entire Middle East. Unless we find our voice, what is happening in Nigeria will move relentlessly toward a Christian genocide.” — Former U.S. Under Secretary of Education, Gary L. Bauer, calling Nigeria a “killing field” of Christians;” The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom 2021 annual report; Nigeria.” gatestoneinstitute.org
This summer, July 2021, a representative of the Catholic church addressed our congress and told the truth of what is happening in Nigeria. He was condemned for telling the truth. If you say that Muslims are killing Christians, then they come back at you hard, calling you anti-Islam and the like. The Nigerian government can stop this carnage but will not because they are committed to killing Christians as Antony Blinken supports.
“Presidency attacks Bishop Kukah over statement to U.S. Congress. Mr Kukah had in a virtual appearance before the American lawmakers criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s handling of the security situation in Nigeria. “The whole of the North is being invaded by armed bandits that are launching attacks at will.” premiumtimesng.com
We should not be surprised that many are calling out the USA for its horrible policies regarding Africa and Nigeria in particular. We seem dedicated to giving Nigeria to Islam.
“Gargantuan betrayal by Uncle Sam. 26 November 2021: One is therefore not surprised with her recent removal of Nigeria from the religious violation watchlist despite the massacre against Christians in the northern part of the country by both the Boko Haram insurgents and Fulani herdsmen. We are living witnesses to the forced conversions of Christians in the north in the bid of the latter to create an Islamic backed theocracy similar to what obtains in most nations in the Middle East.” guardian.ng Please pray for Nigeria!
