Pastor: 'I Never Thought’ My Nation Would Persecute ‘Bible-Believing’ Christians

(CNSNews.com) – The Rev. E.W. Jackson told attendees at the Family Research Council’s Watchmen on the Wall event in Washington, D.C., last week that Americans who believe biblical teachings about marriage and the sanctity of life are being persecuted.

“It bothers me to think my own country is a strange land,” Jackson said Friday at the pastors’ retreat. “I never thought there would be a day when my nation would persecute the Bible-believing Christian for standing for what the word of God says and reward those who come against it as if they are heroes; as if they are great Americans for standing up against God, but that’s where we are.

“I never thought that I would see the day when people would brag about their ability to destroy children in the womb, but that’s exactly what we have today, and not only brag about it, but demand that your taxpayer dollars go to support the destruction of unborn children,” Jackson said.

Thats what happens when churches let liberals into their congregations and the pastors tell the flock to go vote for Democrats and ‘lesser evils’.

It would help for people of faith to read history.

St. Columba (6th century). “Hearken, hearken to
what will happen in the latter days of the world!
There will be great wars; unjust laws will be enacted;
the Church will be despoiled of her property; people
will read and write a great deal; but charity and
humility will be laughed to scorn, and the common
people will believe in false ideas.”

St. Methodius. “A day will come when the enemies
of Christ will boast of having conquered the whole
world. They will say: ‘Christians cannot escape
now!’ But a Great King will arise to fight the enemies
of God. He will defeat them, and peace will be given
to the world, and the Church will be freed from her
anxieties.”

Wait until the undesirables are actually made illegal and then shipped off.

Right now it’s just social ostracization, some state legal enforcement, peoples means of living taking from them, people being court martialled, people forced out of work.

But not actually legally identified as undesirable.

You’re welcome. This Akita, Japan prophecy from Our Lady has gotten my attention:

The third message on October 13, 1973, the actual anniversary of the final visions and miracle of Fatima is as follows: “As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful.

The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day, recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests.

The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their Confreres. The Church and altars will be vandalized. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.

“The demon will rage especially against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will no longer be pardon for them.”

Unless something changes, it won't be long before we'll be seeing Kristallnacht.

Maybe, maybe not.

The one thing the Jewish community didn't have in 1920's Germany is the 2nd Amendment.

Being as these nut cases in government, will NEVER let up, I am convinced that before too long, the persecution will get physical, and we may very well have to physically resist. Keep your powder dry.

It is in Jesus’s hands. Have you ever read about her apparitions at Fatima? She told the children there that if men did not better themselves another world war (WWII) would begin. About 20 years later, it happened.

This is my thinking.

Federal economic policy for the last several decades is virtually guaranteed to eventually crash the economy. I see the New Nazis as proclaiming "It was all those Christians that did it!" Instead of idiotic Federal policy.

*That* is how they are going to attack us, just as the original Nazis blamed "Jewish Bankers" for the loss of World War I and their other economic problems.

I have this feeling if things don’t change soon we may see the Second Coming.

Yeah. But I didn’t post on this thread to appease you and you probably wouldn’t believe it anyway. There are plenty of facts on the internet, feel free to do some leisure reading if you care to.
