It is something you only see periodically in the news, but Christians are being persecuted at a very high rate. Even the Pope is Tweeting about it. Angelus Domini, the Imperial Regent of Lord RayEl, posted the Tweet today in the International Congregation of Lord RayEl on VK.
Unfortunately, it seems many Christians, especially in the Western World, don't believe they will be persecuted. Nor does the media portray what is happening around the world often enough. They believe they will be safe and secure in Christ's loving arms. However, that is not what the Bible discusses about the End Times and persecution. As sad and unfortunate as persecution is, here are some scriptures compiled about persecution:
17'But beware of the children of men, for they will deliver you to the courts and they will scourge you in their synagogues.' 18'And they will bring you before Governors and Kings because of me, for their testimony and that of the Gentiles.' 19'But when they arrest you, do not be anxious how or what you will speak; for it will be given to you in that hour what you should say.' 20'For it will not be you speaking, but The Spirit of your Father speaking in you.'
9And then they will deliver you to suffering, and they will kill you and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
12But before all these things they will lay hands on you and they shall persecute you and they shall deliver you to councils and prisons, and they shall bring you before Kings and Governors because of my name*.
18'And if the world hates you, know that it hated me before you.' 19'And if you had been from the world, the world would have loved its own; but you are not from the world, but I have chosen you from the world; because of this the world hates you.' 20'Remember the word that I have spoken to you, that there is no servant greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours.' 21'They will do all these things among you because of my name, because they do not know him who has sent me.' 22'If I did not come speaking with them, they would have no sin, but now there is no covering for their sin.' 23'Whoever hates me hates my Father also.'
12But also, all those who choose to live in the worship of God in Yeshua The Messiah are persecuted.
10'Be afraid in none of those things that you will suffer; behold The Devil will throw some of you into prison to be tested and you will have suffering for ten days; be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.' 11'He who has an ear, let him hear what The Spirit says to the assemblies. 'Whoever overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.''
I think it is clear at this point that those who follow the true Christ, Yeshua/RayEl, the Messiah, will have to undergo some form of persecution. If you are truly following Lord RayEl, the returned Christ, you know you will have to give up the things of this world to enter into the New Kingdom, or Heaven as some call it. I'd like to leave you all with what the Imperial Regent of Lord RayEl posted in the Congregation today:
Matthew 10:37 'If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.'
