Storm of Persecution on the Horizon

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Bill Wilson

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont ripped Deputy Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget nominee Russell Vought for his Christianity during a hearing. Sanders, after questioning Vought about his Christian beliefs and Vought answering forthrightly, declared, “This nominee is really not someone who this country is supposed to be about. I will vote no.”

Over the weekend far left radicals countered peaceful protests against Sharia Law with violence, saying that protesters were motivated by hate. This country is not only divided along political lines, but also-and the case can be made-mostly along religious lines. This division is leading to persecution of God-fearing Americans.

The Founding Fathers worst nightmare is coming true. They believed that an overreaching government would naturally seek to control the freedoms of its people. That’s why they put checks and balances into the system. But one of the problems with representative government is that it only works when the citizenship is engaged.

John Adams, Founding Father and second U.S. president, said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” The religion he was speaking of is Christianity. Aside from Judaism, other religions are incompatible with a republican form of government. They tend toward despotism of varying degrees.

This precept was part of the very fabric of America as far back as the 1600s when the Pilgrims came here to escape religious persecution at the hands of the Church of England. Pastor of the Pilgrims John Robinson wrote in a farewell letter to those leaving on the Mayflower:

Lastly, whereas you are become a body politic, using amongst yourselves civil government, and are not furnished with any persons of special eminency above the rest, to be chose by you into office of government; let your wisdom and godliness appear, not only in choosing such persons as do entirely love and will promote the common good…not beholding in them the ordinariness of their persons, but God’s ordinance for your good.

Robinson’s letter is credited as inspiration for the Mayflower Compact, which shaped the Founders view on self-government. Exodus 18:21 influenced the Founders in devising our representative form of government: “Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.” Sanders and the radical left are wrong.

While not all the Founders were Christian, they agreed that the Bible contained the principles for self-government. We are a nation divided politically because the absolute moral truth of Christianity is contradictory to the rebellious and immoral agenda of the left. They are willing to persecute those who don’t agree with them.

Have a blessed and powerful day!

      the sunday after the rapture, the churches will be full.

      the next day, monday, is when the full-on persecution begins. There are people who say that they will wait until after the rapture to get saved. Okay, you can also take the full brunt of the coming persecution. God will put you to the test to see if you are really saved or not. We’ll see.

        So you can begin to understand my frustration and why I am very blunt and call a spade a spade — for a few years I have been asking questions of folks like you —- and they are always ignored. Aways

        I quote a scripture, make a statement of the facts shown by the scripture and ask questions — sensible sound logical questions — none are answered — you jknbt never give an answer — and i am told to repent from following Jesus Christ. and that I am going to hell.

        jknbt what about those very sincere folks that can not find a rapture in the Word, is that their fault? is God going to punish them because they do not see it??

        out of 1.5 billion folks that make up the 40,000 kinds of christianity – what percent are rapture hope-er; 10% 20%

        lets say 50% so God is going the punish 750,000 people because they can not find a rapture in the Word, is that God’s fault?? Who is at fault here??

        I have been given a love of logic by my Father and I prove all things by logic — most folks love confusion and 2 plus 2 equaling 10.

        Did you see my question concerning what happens when mom and dad are raptured and their 2 young children are left behind

        So far not one person has the guts to even attempt to answer— I know why !! And I doubt you will give an answered as Paul instructed you to do.

          Truthseeker … all of mankind ends up before the Lord. Does it matter in what order? Or matter how much time it does or does not take? If your soul’s existence is infinite … why would an infinite being such as you obsess over what amounts to a morning jog given the perspective. The Lord judges … your choices … whatever the judgement… is it really punishment when it was your choice ? This may be worthy of some thought during your jog.

            Boo

            I can see you are a sincere person as am I.
            BUT; and there is always a but;

            I seek truth in everything as Jesus Christ and our Father taught me to do.
            I prove all things by logic. 2 + 2 must equal 4.
            I have come to despise deception and lies and this world is that to 110%.

            Ask your self this question, if it is as you say then why has God spent 6000 years teaching His chosen people HIS ONE WAY and why after 99.5% of His chosen and 100% of the gentiles told God to go fly a kite is God now going to put to death 90% of the 7.5 billion alive on earth today with a time of trouble that has never been before or ever will be again?

            Boo I have been watching for what is just ahead for almost 50 years and you have no idea of the horror that is coming upon this earth because no one wants God to rule over them.

            Boo I do not expect any to take to heart what I write NOW! But I hope when this time begins it will come to mind. I can not change minds that is in the hands of the Father as it should be.

            Tens of millions will survive this time of trouble and will be converted by it.
            Men are so hard headed God must take every thing from them – put them in slavery, leave them with only their life hanging by a thread – before they will repent of sinning against God.

            Boo God in not trying to “save” mankind now; only a very few are being called.

            By the way I am not an infinite being I am made from the dust of the ground and when I die I return to dust and that day could be soon as I am 77.

            I do not have a soul and I am not an immortal soul, I am a living breathing creature just like animals. God put in me, just like He did all humanity, a human spirit that gives us preeminence above animals.

            I doubt this will be of any value to you,

      So God the Father and HIS Son are going to be so upset if a person does not choose, All by themselves – all on their own, to get saved and get raptured – they will persecuted those folks for being so stupid?? And them sent them into a fire that burns forever??

      What about the Chinese’s?

      What about the Muslims?

      What about the so called christians that believe with their whole being a rapture is just another con job of Satan?

      Unless a rapture “hope-er” can give an answer to the above backed up by scripture — they are standing on quick sand and they are in danger of being cast into”The Time of Jacob’s Trouble.”

      Its on a sunday??? so it will happen when all are in church on the day of the sun god?
