Persecution
Last year 2017, was a dark year concerning persecutions against Christians.
We are not surprised to read in the papers about attacks against churches and Christians in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan. Iraq and North Korea, but this year we have seen this happened in many other places as well.
In Egypt Christians and churches has frequently been attacked and many people have died.
In Nigeria, Kenya and Morocco Christians has been attacked and killed.
In India an Hindu Group has said they want to get rid of all Christians in India til the year 2020.
In Bolivia they will soon have a law that forbids evangelism. If you will do so you can get 12 years behind bars.
But we have seen hate crimes against Christians and their worship places even in Europe.
In France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Kosovo, Switzerland, Slovenia, UK and Sweden we have seen threats against Christians, vandalism against Churches and cemeteries.
Christian refugees in Sweden has been attacked by Muslim refugees.
During 2017 around 3500 Christian Brothers and Sisters World wide have been killed.
Sad to say these different government are doing nothing or at least very Little to change this
But Jesus said himself in Matthew 10 :
16 ‘See here,’ Jesus continued, ‘I’m sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes, and as innocent as doves.
17 ‘Watch out for danger from people around you. They will hand you over to councils, and flog you in their synagogues. 18 You will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as evidence to them and to the nations. 19 But when they hand you over, don’t worry how to speak or what to say. What you have to say will be given to you at that moment. 20 It won’t be you speaking, you see; it will be the spirit of your father speaking in you.
21 ‘One brother will betray another to death; fathers will betray children, and children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who holds out to the end will be delivered.
23 ‘When they persecute you in one town, run off to the next one. I’m telling you the truth: you won’t have gone through all the towns of Israel before the son of man comes.’.....
