Satan has tried many times over the ages to eradicate Christianity, and it’s still here and will always will be.
He hates and wants to take as many people to hell with him as possible, and it looks like he is seriously succeeding.
What it seems he hasn’t learned yet is the persecution makes the church grow and purifies it and it blows up in his face.
He’ll get his 7 years. Especially his last 3.5 years.
He knows his time is growing short.
Well the gates of hell will never prevail over the Church no matter how long Christianity endures this age.
But Luke 18:8 always has me guessing based on the devil’s complete eradication of Christianity in some nations - and the falling away in all other western nations. That the longer the Lord tarries, the less faith He’ll find when He returns.
Technology alone should tell us that time is almost up.
