200 Million Have Died

[Farrah]

Hi, my name is Farrah and I am hoping to inform everyone about the plight of persecuted Christians around the world.  To begin, I was wondering if anyone knew that in the past 20 years 200 million Christians have been killed, because of their faith in Christ?  Those that have not died have been tortured, imprisoned, fined, and beaten.  These cases of persecution happen in countries like, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam, just to name a few.  However, Christian persecution is also on the rise in Uzbekistan where all non-Muslim religious practices are banned.  I will post more later, but I was just curious if this is something that is known or new to many readers.  God bless,

Farrah

[Yeshua's apostle]

This is certainly not news to me. This has been happening for years, and as Yeshua's return draws closer, the persecution of his people intensifies.

Hi All.

This subject should be one very close to all true believes hearts, it is a horrible situation that is going on all over this world.  It is going on in places that many people have no idea they exist.

One thing that always amazes me about this is that no matter where you are in this world, the one group of people that is attacked & persecuted every time & by all other religions is the Christians.  It matters not where you are in this world it is always the Christians that are persecuted.

You get a sort of hierarchy as such in who attacks who.  Those on the very top who no one would dare have a go at are the muslims, then you get Hindu's, Buddhist & the rest.  Right at the very bottom are the Christians, so you get the muslims attacking who ever they so wish at what ever time they wish.  They will attack the Hindu's & then maybe the Buddhists & as they go back to there homes maybe a few christian villages.

Then you get the Hindu's who attack the buddhists then the Christians.  Even the Buddhists have been known to attack the Christians & they claim the will not harm one living being, so that's rich isn't it.  So they all attack the Christians, why ?? what are they all so afraid of eh.

The reason they all attack the Christians is that they hold the truth !!! & they want to suppress that truth.  If they is there religions knew & where told by there leaders that Christianity was the truth, they would loose there followers in droves.  So they all attack the Christians hopping that they will suppress that truth & stop that truth being spread to all who have ears to hear.

As some as said, yes time is near, it is running out.  We are in the last days you only need to study the Bible to know that fact.  This world is now plain evil to the very core, all that was prophesied in that book is coming true or has come true.  As with all true Christians I pray that the word reaches as many people as possible in the time we have left to us all & I also pray for all other Christians that they to manage to reach as many as possible with the truth.

God Bless you all

Farrah,

This is no suprise to us Christians, Jesus warned us that this would happen.

Matthew 10:21-23:  “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another." (The New King James Version)
 
Also,

John 1519-23: If you belonged to this world, the world would love you. But you do not belong to the world. I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you. I said, "The servant is not better than his master." If the people in the world have troubled me, they will also trouble you. If they obey me, they will also obey you. 21 They will do all these things to you because you are true to me. They do not know the one who sent me.  22`I came and spoke to them. If I had not done that, then what they did would not have been a wrong thing. But now they have no excuse for doing it. 23 The person who hates me hates my Father also. (Worldwide English New Testament).


What is the hope for those murdered for being a Christian, a follower of Christ, a worshipper of GOD?

1 Peter 4:12-17: Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. 13 Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.
 14 So be happy when you are insulted for being a Christian,[e] for then the glorious Spirit of God[f] rests upon you.[g] 15 If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. 16   But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name! 17 For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? (New Living Translation).


So, rejoice my brothers and sisters!, rejoice!
