Christianity is projected by 2025 to reach 3 Billion world wide (https://goodfaithmedia.org/global-christian-population-projected-to-reach-3-3-billion-by-2050/). However, there are 8 Billion people on the planet as of 2022, which means Christianity will only be 37.5% of the total population by 2025.
I would subtract 1.3 Billion of Roman Catholics from that 3 Billion, because they do not believe the true gospel as outlined in John 3:16, John 6:40, Romans 10:9-10, Philippians 3:9, and etc which The Council of Trent in Roman Catholicism is against.
That puts Christianity at 1.7 Billion by 2025, however if you subtract 220 Million Eastern Orthodox Churches which also refuse the gospel as outlined in the aforementioned Scriptures, that number drops again to an estimated 1.5 Billion Christians. Then you have other false Christianities like Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists, and other Christian cults who reject Biblical Christianity. So we could to be conservative drop authentic Christianity to 1 Billion world wide.
At the same time Satanism is growing in polarity, The Satanic Temple boasts 700,000 members now. It is only one denomination of the devil. Islam is predicted to reach 8.3 Billion by 2025, outnumbering Christianity’s initial number of 3 Billion. Hinduism is at 1.2 Billion currently.
It is clear that Christianity shall soon be a minority. After having been the dominate faith in The West, we must now prepare to be the Remnant, especially if we go by my projections of true believers who believe in The Holy Trinity, The Inneracy of the Holy Bible, That salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone being at est. 1 Billion. What this means is that we shall be persecuted more. Minorities always receive the ire of the majority, and there are those who will see it as serving god to harm us, “Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.” (John 16:2). We must prepare, the kingdom of darkness is growing, it will one day be as many as the sands of the sea, “when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea,” (Revelation 20:7-8), and Jesus warns us that when He returns many will not believe, “I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:8), and that we must endure in faith to the end, “This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus,” (Revelation 14:12), and “But he that shall endure unto the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 24:13).
By the time our Lord and God Jesus returns, the earth will be swallowed in Satan’s darkness and we that still live will be persecuted, martyred, and derided as mad. The Beast will crush the Church, “The Beast was allowed to make war on God’s holy people and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation,” (Revelation 13:7) and “This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12). There is no mistaking those verses, the Beast or Antichrist will conquer the Church, and we know its the Church because in both those verses it uses God’s holy people or the saints.
We must prepare ourselves as God’s Ecclesia for the shift in demographics. The era of Christianity being popular, being an empire, is over. We are returning to the mouths of lions as we await the Lion of Judah. Already Open Doors records persecution of Christians is at the mist severe it has ever been in history, surpassing even the times The Emperors Nero, Caligula, and Domitian. This I believe is due to technology, people can be tracked down more easily and their preaching censored with the hammer of hackers. The great persecution ahead will be more severe, and we now must follow Jesus’ words, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves..” (Matthew 10:16). Amen.
