Because of financial and other problems the citizenry will begin to look for scapegoats. The "Christian right" will be the target. The Jewish people may think they will escape but they will not, because behind all of this murder and rape will be Satan, and Satan hates the Jews as much as he does the Christians. Satan knows that the Kingdom of God, the kingdom that will eventually dispossess his kingdom, will be brought forth through God's elect, both Jews and Gentiles, and that Jerusalem will be the city from which Christ will govern the earth in righteousness.

The growing hatred of Americans toward Christians, whom they will blame for interference with their prosperity, lusts, comforts, and other "rights," will spread to other nations until those who are associated with the Lord Jesus will be hated by all nations, just as the Lord predicted.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (Matthew 24:10)

For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (Luke 12:52,53)

We are exhorting all Christian parents to draw their children close to themselves. In the near future children will betray their parents to the police.

The philosophy of the United Nations is that children have rights and parents must not deny these rights. The United States is joining this worldwide trend.

Children will be removed from homes that do not permit the child to watch what he or she desires on the television or the Internet. The parents will lose control. The children will learn soon enough the law is on their side, and if they are not permitted to do as they please they can report their parents to the police.

Hatred shall increase as the gulf widens between the true saints and the people of the world. Right now in the United States the gulf is narrow. Soon it will be uncrossable and multitudes of people who now worship with the Christians will become their fiercest enemies, despising them because the saints remind the worldly that in order to please God they must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow the Lord Jesus.

We must prepare ourselves and our families. Violent persecution is at hand in the United States. Many Christian political activists believe they soon will be able to assume control of their government. Their attempts to do so will result in a violent rejection of fundamental Christianity by the pleasure-loving American people.

Let no minister of the Gospel tell you that you will be "raptured" away to Heaven before these things take place. He may be a person of utmost integrity and sincerity, a righteous, devout individual, but he is deceived and is deceiving those who listen to him. It is your responsibility to make sure you are not deceived.

To be continued.
