Matthew 24:9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.” --NIV In the name of the One because of Whom we are hated, amen.
Hasn’t the time come long ago when Christians were persecuted and hated by all nations? Isn’t it still the case that they are hated and persecuted? Remember the Soviet Union. Consider China, Indonesia, and Sudan. Brothers and sisters the signs are fulfilled, the end is near. Soon our suffering will be over. Soon we will sing the triumph song. The Lord bless you and keep you till that day. Amen.
Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, we suffer for the name of Jesus. Bless us and our persecutors through our suffering. Guard our precious faith to the glory of Your holy name, amen.
