Pope Francis warns of Christan martyrdom.
"However that may be, on May 4 he said Christianity is more persecuted today than at the start. "So many Christian communities are persecuted around the globe," he said. "More so now than in the early times ... Why? Because the spirit of the world hates.""

You may also want to read the comments, they are quite interesting...
heavy burdens placed on men's shoulders impossible to bear,for sure. persecution without a personal
relationship with God/Jesus would be impossible to bear. If they say..'a personal relationship with God
is not possible,then they testify they haveno such relationship".....those who say 'Lord,Lord..and He says
I do not know you"
that aside..persecution has increased........because of acts of loose conduct the truth will be spken against
...such as all the despicable evil murder done in the name of God...........the beast will hate the
harlot[Babylon].........
Israel was angry due to two of his sons causing his name to be a stench in the earth over Dinah.....
he cursed their cruelty. I can't help think that the same is true for Father and Jesus Christ.
ps..there is an ex-jesuit's book on their agenda at 9 Nania site...worth a look!
Satan and his people mean it for evil - however, God means it for good. Do not those who are persecuted inherit a better resurrection? I think of the fellow who was pulled out of the fire by his RCC persecutors, who thought he had given them a sign that he was ready to repent - but no, he told them, "Why do you interfere with my happiness?"
worldwide christian persecution is on the rise. Isis gave ultimanium to christians in Syria and Iraq..leave,
pay levy,convert or be killed.
the president of the usa denies being a christian nation..speaks against any muslim 'prejudice' and the whole
world is silent on what is taking place in christian persecution.
Us military over inmideast denied having a bible..but forced to honour ramadan[can not drink coffee or drink
eat in their vehicles on the road on way to work] they bend over backwards as not to offend Islam
'sensibilities' while remaining silent on human rights of christians.
the NWO agenda is one world government..one religion[vatican based]
....the general secular population is frankly sick to death of all the violence/discord/warring done over
religious differences in the name of God. as well as those with an agenda to rule over their fellow man to
their harm.
I know as a person of faith I am sick of it too. Ultimately....the great and final move of the kingdom of
darkness shall come to it's end We who live in these days as this world falls down around them..and
things go from bad to worse..can bring comfort to other's. For the worsening conditins shall cause many
to begin seeking Him with their whole heart. of course false gospel preachers will be there also selling
their religion...but when people seek Him with their whole heart and repent..He shall deliver them from
the great deception that blinds the world.
the time of the great harvest quickly comes ...and this 'promised coming of the Lord" that scoffers have
ridiculed for centuries.
All we have to remember is that in the moment, the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus Christ and His cross of reconciliation to the heart(withn the holy of holies) of any human. Whatever false religions abound, and whatever oppression reigns- God will set people free thru the gospel when they here from the Spirit- "Come drink freely of the water of life, and let anyone who thirsts drink freely".
If the voice with which we speak is His- everything else will be as it should be :o)
