Police State of Christians Coming

Matthew 24:7-11 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. (NIV)

Matthew 24:15-25  “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.” (NIV)

          Recently in the news a Sudanese woman, Meriam Ibrahim, sentenced to die for being a Christian (although the government declared her to be a Muslim) and marrying a Christian man. This was considered to be an act of adultery for which, execution is the law of the land where she is a native. Her sentence to be administered consisted of receiving 100 lashes and then being hung to death. At the time of her arrest, she was 8 months pregnant with the couple’s second child and had to deliver the baby while being chained in prison. However, she was released only to be imprisoned once again and then released after many prayers and criticisms from the public.

          Many Christians in China have been persecuted as well for their religious beliefs. According to an article in Christianity Today, numerous Christians within China have been subjected to arrest, short-term detention, rape, confiscation of property, beatings, fines, police intimidation, and much more. Many have had to have home churches due to not being able to have a church in a building. Even these are considered as illegal and those involved have been subjected to jail time. Unfortunately, this is to be expected in the last days according to the Bible. 

2 Timothy 3:12-13 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (NIV)

                       Just the other day, a congregation of Chinese Christians were tearfully saddened when their government had the cross, that was on the top of their church, removed. They had been threatened to not have petitions or talk to the media with regards to its removal. 15 other churches with crosses are facing possible removal by the end of the month. Many churches have been demolished in the middle of the night without proper paperwork and other appropriate documents necessary by law. Everyday persecution is being carried out by other countries who are anti-Christian. The United States and other prominent nations will soon face the same challenges. In many ways, the United States is quickly heading in that direction under the anti-God leadership that is overtaking the country and soon the entire nation. 

          The United States seem to be preparing for something big. It seems that they are preparing for an all-out war against its own citizens. Could it be that it expects an uprising from those whom they have sworn to protect? Could all the anti-God laws be the cause of them preparing to imprison those who do not believe and agree with their New World Order and Lucipherian agenda? Isn't it strange that while our nation has agreed to allow open borders for immigrants coming from other nations that they are constantly passing laws to limit the freedoms of their own citizens? In recent news, various governmental agencies have purchased weapons and ammunition for what some think could be preparation for civil unrest on US soil. Here is a list of some of the governmental agencies who have and are trying to purchase ammunition and some of what was purchased.

A.) US Social Security Administration is stock piling 174,000 rounds of hallow-point bullets. (Designed to spread out in the body and fragment to cause maximum damage.)

B.)  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) requested 46,000 of hallow-point bullets.

C.)  DHS

D.) IRS

E.)  Department of Education

F.)  US Fish and Wildlife Service

G.) US Postal Service

H.) FBI (100,000,000) hallow-point bullets

I.)    Homeland Security

J.)    Department of Agriculture

           Does this look strange to you? What does the IRS and United States Postal Service--just to name a few, need with ammunition? What is the US not telling their citizens? Here are a couple of excerpts form Fox News in regards to who is considered the enemy in the US.

Excerpts taken from Fox News:

“Soldiers attending a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood say they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”

“A soldier who attended the October 17^th briefing told me the counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half hour discussing how evangelical Christians and groups like the American Family Association were “tearing the country apart.”

          I think that it is quite interesting that evangelicals could be considered the enemy while the United States has been said to have helped fund Al-Qaeda organizations. The open borders allowing access to illegal immigrants are being welcomed while the US is demolishing the freedoms that we once had. Those freedoms consisting of religion, speech, healthcare, guns, and much more are increasingly coming to an end due to an administration who seems to have one overall agenda in mind and that is to protect the religion of Islam, homosexuality, and overthrow God. 

          Could it be that those who believe in standing up for God is a threat to the government because it makes them face the reality of their wickedness? John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. (NIV) The world considers those who will stand up for God to be a threat to their freedoms and beliefs. They will call people standing up for Christ as religious fanatics, over conservatives, bigots and the likes. Even those who are self-proclaimed Christians do not fail to join in on the anti-Christian propaganda with ridiculing other Christians who have decided to take a stand for God instead of straddling the fence. 

           However, we are not to back down from what we believe regardless of who does not like it. We are to stand boldly before others even when they persecute us and say all manner of things against us. When Jesus was healing the sick and casting out demons, the Pharisees dared to call him names. Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons." (NIV) Imagine Jesus, the Son of God, being compared to the demonic host. They were blinded by their hatred and contempt for Him and the things of God that He stood for. Regardless of their ridicule, Jesus continued to do what God had sent Him to do and that was to relieve a world from the debt that they owed because of sin. How much more are we to do, which falls nothing short of Jesus' sacrifice? 

          There is coming a day in the United States and other nations where we will have to decide for Who we are going to stand. It will not be a day of freedom, but a day of bondage and earthly enslavement. It will be a day when families will turn on each other and friends will become quick enemies for the cause of Christ. We will suffer the same persecutions that have befallen the other nations of the world. Jesus prophesied this in the Bible and all prophecies given will come to pass. We are nearly in a Police State within America. We have allowed our freedoms to be taken away by process of a vote. We as a nation have turned our backs to God and therefore, the judgment is quickly approaching. However, just as there were some saved in the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah, there will be those who will stand for God and will be rescued. This is not to say that some of us will not face death, but all who die for Christ will receive their eternal reward in Heaven. 

2 Corinthians 4:8-12 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. (NIV)
