Sinners hate being called sinners, especially if they are haters of God. So they lash out on the righteous. They did this in the time of Noah, the time of Abraham, the time of Jacob, the time of Moses, the time of David, the time of the Prophets and the time of Jesus. Jesus said this would happen and it is happening.
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
This was worth a second posting.
