Despite what the media has told us about the current administration’s warm and friendly intentions, the truth, produces an itch akin to bed bugs, poison ivy and wide-weave burlap.  Would you be angry with me if I asked you to rejoice or be thankful as we find ourselves in this present predicament?  This is the nature of persecution.  We have all expected it, looked for it, whispered about it, but we really never knew what it looked like, and now we do.  The alarming thing is that we expected to be the only ones experiencing it, that was a misunderstanding.  You see we are all in this world together.  We all must face the trials to come.  Unfortunately it will be many of the Christians who suffer the most in this life, but everyone is going to face the most difficult times in Man’s brief history.

Why is that so important, because that is why the Lord is sending the tribulation so that unbelievers will be subjected to so much stress, loss of life and travesty that they turn their faces to God.  That is the entire purpose behind the trials which must come to pass.  So will you face the loss of liberty with a sense of joy in your heart, prayer and kind words to say to your neighbor?  I certainly hope so, because this coming persecution is God’s plan not the enemy’s.  Sure there are those of the powers and principalities who will delight in the demise, pain and temporary injury that most certainly believers will face, but that suffering will be short lived and serve a purposes greater than any one of our lives.

Rejoice for the Kingdom of Heaven has come.  Many will turn away, sealing their fate for an eternal separation from God, but more people will come to the Lord during the coming days, months and years than the entirety of history.  There will be an innumerable gathering at the foot of the Throne, praising Him, sharing fellowship, worship and love in the Light of His Presence.  There is nothing here that may break our resolve.  No loss of freedom or life that can compare to what we will be given in the moment of His Great Glory.  Serve God, speak truth and let Him deal with however it shakes out.  There is only on King, One God and One Truth, do not fall pray to the deception of fear.  Love is our Guide and Jesus our King.  Praise Him in Everlasting Glory, Forever and Forever, Amen.
