The point is that things are going to change for the church, now - very quickly.
Things will change for the church, but only as far as its members comply. Intelligent civil disobedience can run circles around the Government. Remember that the Government can seize the churches, but it will have a harder problem seizing Christians. Christians are not here to be willing martyrs to fascism. Think of the policies that are going to be enacted as the equivalent of the laws the Nazis enacted during the 1930’s. History is the guide, resistance is the answer.
