Forgive me, I worked late and am just now getting in here.
I care and all this breaks my heart. You're right...it is a horrendous issue mostly going ignored in the U.S. The Christians living in these areas simply want to live in peace with those around them. They are not terrorizing or seeking to do harm to their neighbors. This is happening in Mainland China as well. It's hard to watch.
Yet, at the same time we know these things must be. The Word of God tells us we will share in the sufferings of Christ. Some will endure and never give up hope or faith. Some will fall away and turn lukewarm or deny Christ altogether which is even harder to watch. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ everywhere. His grace is sufficient.
But he (the Lord) said to me (Paul), "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2Corinthians 12:9
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Ephesians 6:13
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 7:13-14
This and so many other signs of prophecies coming to pass show us that indeed we are in the latter days.
Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Matthew 24:1
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
2Timothy 3:1-5
And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Luke 21: 25-26 (the environmental crowd will be fooled by thinking this was caused by "manmade climate change")
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 24: 29-30 (same here with environmental crowd)
He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly."
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Revelation 22:20
