“The number of Christian emigrants comprised six million people in the past 100 years,” Suheil Farah, Lebanese university professor and a member of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society (IOPS), was quoted by the IOPS press service as saying.
According to his information, the number of Christians on the territory of the Arab world ranges between 12 million and 15 million. Most of them live in Egypt, Sudan and Lebanon (9-12 million). There are 900,000 Christians in Syria, 350,000 in Iraq, between 140,000 and 165,000 in Jordan, 50,000 in Palestine and 120,000 in Israel.
“Christians now account for 3.4% of the population of the Arab world. These indicators are not the same for different Arab countries. In Lebanon, they account for 41-42% of the population, against 8-9% in Syria and 6-7% in Egypt,” the professor said.

So glad that this has been such a focus of the media, and that Christian persecution has been so well appreciated on the ‘tolerant’ left.
The media may not be looking, but the good Lord is.
The former doesn't care. The latter does because He IS the GOOD LORD and we are His beloved children.
What is this 50,000 Christians in Palestine? There is no such place as Palestine. There’s only Israel.
Well, God’s last hurrah is not over yet, not by a long shot.
God has a way of getting the media to care very much, once the time is right.
But all things in order.
Is the society older than modern Israel? Does it disdain Israel itself?
The rise of the greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective in the history of history.

1. True. Life will be over when our Creator says so...and not a nanosecond sooner.
2. Yes!! I don't want to be there though to see it. TOO UGLY, if it they deserve it.
3. Absolutely! That IS the way life works.
#2 might be ugly, or might be beautiful, or a mix.
Salvation is like that; and God already knows about whom He has appointed to attend this school.
Of course He does. He loves us and wants us to CHOOSE to be with Him.
And yet as sovereign, which practice of course embraces everything that He does not choose to exercise it about, He can put the willing anywhere He wants in history, anytime, in a plan too wonderful for us, let alone the psalmists, to fathom.
And that can be an answer to prayer, in an even more mind boggling scenario. Human mind boggling, that is. God has no trouble at all with it. “Please send us the elect” for the right reasons — “request granted” is very possible from heaven.
But we don’t ask for the elect lightly. That’s not a recipe for instant shangri-la. It’s often a scene for soul ripping spiritual battles.
