Behold my brothers and sisters, the day of great suffering and persecution has come. A war is being waged by the Secular Progressives and Staunch Atheists against Christians and the holiday Christmas. In Florida, Governor Chaffie has refused to recognize the Evergreen Tree as a Christmas Tree and has instead called it a Holiday Tree. In Pittsburgh, a Church is being harassed about their worship. Those offended say they can hear it out on street and they are threatening to sue if the music isn't changed to a softer and more silent style. In the Sudan, Muslims are continuing their genocide of the Christians and now a war has begun between them. In some public schools here in the States praying and Bibles are being outlawed, even though it violates the First Amendment. It is clear that a war has been started against Christ and anything tied to him. Persecution has returned and like the Early Christians, we are going to need to be prepared for what is to come.
Jesus foretold that this would happen, he said "All men will hate you because of me." (Luke 21:17). Christ also said,"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.." (Matt 24:9). These prophecies were for the Early Church, but they are also relevant for our day and age as well. The powers that be want to see Christianity wiped from the face of the Earth. They are intent upon marginalizing believers and threatening them until they give up or are removed entirely. These Secular Progressives and Staunch Atheists have become antagonistic towards not only Christians, but anything associated with Christ. The Christmas Holiday has become a target for these people who want to remove all icons and symbols of the faith from public view. Soon Churches themselves might be dismantled and demolished because they present on the outside overt signs of Christ. The Leaders of the Church unfortunately aren't taking a stand against this wave of persecution. Instead of exercising their right to defend the Faith and present their case, they cringe and cravenly submit in fear of a lawsuit or other threats.
One crusader who has endeavored to expose this all out assault on Christians and Christmas is Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News Network. He has dedicated five shows and counting to exposing the war on Christmas and the animosity towards Christianity. An observance that both Bill, and other believers have made is that persecution is focused solely on Christians. There is no attempt to stifle Muslims, Buddhists, Hinduists, Mormons, or any of the other religions from displaying icons or celebrating their holy days. This attack is exclusively on Judeo-Christian values.
America has been one of the few places in the world where people are free to worship as they please and practice their faith without hindrance. It once was the most tolerant place on Earth, but now it is becoming the most intolerant towards Christians. Believers are being treated like a virus. That we will come and infect you if we are allowed to preach, pray, and praise. We have been depicted as a threat to society, that we will deprive people of their fun and unleash judgement upon them. This demonization of Christians is only the beginning. While there are over 247 million born again believers in the US (Christianity Today); very few of them are willing to take a stand against this antagonism. Those who don't believe are being taught to be hostile towards those that do follow Christ. Instead of there being a respect for differences, there is a compulsion to wage war against whoever you disagree with. Friendly debate has been eliminated, and now those who hate our faith are intent on converting us or destroying us. It is an anti-christ campaign to pressure the saints into submitting to the new wave of Secular-Progressivism that is now sweeping the nation. If we do not begin to resist and defend our values and beliefs these people will win. If they do win, it won't be softer music and less Evangelistic rallies, it will be an Underground Church where you will have to hide to survive and cease having Bible Studies and meetings in giant buildings. It will be as it was in the the days of Peter and Paul and perhaps worse.
The fight to take back America may be in vain. For when the Man of Sin does rise, America is not mentioned as an ally of Israel before Christ returns, nor is it mentioned at all except that: "There will be a great revival in the Coast Lands (America)." After this great revival the Coast Lands are never mentioned again. Even if the US should survive, it says that all nations will turn against Israel and fight against God: "For the demonic spirits, preforming signs, go abroad to the kings (leaders) of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God Almighty. And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon." (Revelation 16: 14,16). Thus if America still does exist in the Last Days, it will be the enemy of God, not one nation under him. I am promoting an anti-patriot message. I am merely giving the facts as they are found in the Bible and urging my fellow believers to get real with their savior and not play Church anymore. We cannot afford to be too tightly tied to an institution or building, otherwise we will crumble along with it. Our faith has to be alive, our relationship with Christ intimate, if we are to survive. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts, because a day is coming when like the Early Christians we will flee to the hills and meet in secret to fellowship.
