He came the first time as the Lamb who died for our sins.
When He returns as the Lion of the tribe of Judah it will be to destroy the the forces of evil; regardless of how well sins are covered up!!
We Christians of all faiths are the ultimate target. Remember Jesus said even family members will turn us in to the authorities!
Your pastor is right! They hate us with a burning malice. The darkness in them sees the light in us(we weak but faithful) and despises us.
So put on your armor. Be aware of the roaring lion seeking to devour you
& your family. Pray without ceasing.
And lock & load!!
And lock & load. Wonderful.
I like how you think.
God bless you and your too.
