(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.

“We believe that the problems we face in our communities and our nation are not just political and cultural, they are spiritual in nature,” the Watchmen on the Wall website states, citing Ephesians 6:10-13.

EPH 6:10-13 NIV

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Really? I've been hearing it ever since I can remember. They even made movies about it. (1972)

We haven't been dumbing down the population. Democrats in Public Schools and Universities, and Democrats in Entertainment (television) and Democrats in the Newsrooms.

THAT is who has been dumbing down the population.

History notwithstanding, we are in the midst of it right now, it's no longer a book of fiction or a prediction of the future.

And the good Reverend spoke about it.

Yes, we are in the midst of it, or more like the beginning cycle of it. 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.

Pretty disgusting that our land has come to this,but it will surely hasten the time when the Lord intervenes.

Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, has been predicting/warning about this very thing for about twenty years. That is end goal of the hate speech laws.
