The author writes in his addendum, for folks “to get right with god”, therefore become a christian, and in the next sentence, which is after you become a christian, “oh by the way the christian persecutions are coming! Welcome to the club!”
All the other things have merit to them, but the last part admonishes you to join the club and get ready to die.
How can you hold your ground and fight back the bazzards if you are dead?
You might be that “one more” to mmake or break that situation.
Get right with God,
Should be First.
