Persecution Of Christians Worldwide
The anger and resentment against Christians is clearly the final rage of Satan. His time is short and he knows we are close to Revelation chapter twelve, when he will be cast out of the midair to the earth. From that point, he will be earth-bound until he is pit-bound. Shortly after the thousand years of Christ’s reign on earth, Satan will be Lake of Fire-bound forever. Presently, Satan is committed to every idea that targets Bible-believing people. Nothing is going to cause more persecution in America than the effort to force Christians to accept sodomy as a natural lifestyle. The Antichrist and his false prophet will both be sodomites. The primary relationship during the seven years of the Great Tribulation will be every form of sexual perversion. The effeminate nature is sweeping the world in preparation for those horrible days of suffering after the Rapture. Every day closer to the end, we will see more and more of the growing rejection of Bible truth. When you quote the Bible on almost any subject today, people will simply ignore you or tell you without blinking I do not believe that or that’s not my interpretation. The Bible is the only basis of pure truth. We in America are still blessed with limited persecution, but that will shortly be a thing of the past. You must get ready for living with hatred and rejection if the Lord tarries His coming. In many parts of our world they are killing thousands for no reason but faith in Jesus Christ. Please take time to research and become a prayer warrior for those suffering for our Lord.

Again, you are correct in assessing another characteristic of these last times. Though the persecution of Christians is not at the level in the U.S. as in many regions of the world where they are a minority, it is there in more subtle forms.
Beginning in 1963 when the Supreme Court effectively kicked God out of our public schools, we have been on a downhill slide. Of course, much of the blame lies at the feet of timid Christians who have then and still continue to sit back placidly allowing our government and courts to get away with producing laws and policies that infringe on our rights and corrupt the moral fabric of this country.
Even much of the so-called “church” has adopted mmany these same principles, prime of which is the refusal to acknowledge the authority of the Bible which has led to the open abomination of active homosexuals occupying the pulpits, blessing “gay” marriages, and adoption of “pluralistic salvation” doctrines. And this is just a partial list.
At the age of 58, I have seen the degradation of our secular and religious communities first-hand and it amazes me just how fast – and how far – we have fallen, particularly since the turn of this century.
Jesus wondered if he would find “faith on the earth” when he came back” (Luke 18:8). I now find myself asking the same question.
Thanks, Pastor Joseph, for continuing to sound the alarm.

You are correct in that when the time of Revelation 13 arrives Satan and his fallen
angelic company will be confined to earth BUT the actual banning of Satan from heaven
happens in Revelation 12:7-9.
Any sexual activity between persons outside of marriage is sin. Homosexuality is the
basest of sexual sins because it violates God’s intended sexuality of the male and
female body. See I Corinthians 6:18
There is no doubt that the present proliferation of homosexuality of these days is a
definite sign of the end.
Brother Phil,
I’m blessed when I make foolish mistakes. At 75 I call them senior moments. Of course that great passage is Revelation chapter 12, not chapter 13.
Thanks

Dear Joseph,
The demonic spirits for Christians persecution are playing an active role in Pakistan and throughout Islamic countries. In Pakistan the Christians are forced to live under some laws. The implementation of blasphemy law will be beginning point to push the winds of persecution for Christ believing world. Please continue your prayers for the believers who are being tortured for the sake of Christ. We believe that we are moving to a time when Lord Jesus will himself descend from a heaven to take His own. No fear in Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming Soon!Love in Christ,
Rev.Anil Jasper

Jesus said Those who say the Lord tarries or delays His coming are wicked and evil servants. Raead Mat.24:48 and Luke 12:45. But those of the light know of His coming [1Th.5:4]
Joseph Chambers study the Bible and show yourself aprove. And stop showing your foolish understanding using thing like “if the Lord tarries His coming”. Keep it up your a wick servant.

Response to Melvin Meyers.
I do believe that Jesus is coming soon, yet I too have often used the phrase “if the Lord tarries” myself on occasion in the sense that it may not be as soon as I might think. It is not meant to imply that God is changing his timing of this event in response to human expectations or whims.
I use it in the sense that we Christians should be “on watch” all the time so whether Jesus comes for his people today, tomorrow, or many years from now, we will be ready. In other words, we must not fall into the trap of thinking just because he didn’t come on “our schedule” that he isn’t coming at all – because he most assuredly is! Peter warned us about scoffers who would do this very thing for this very reason in the “last days” (2 Peter 3:3-9).
So, in my opinion, use of this phrase “if the Lord tarries” by Pastor Joseph, myself, or any other believer in no way denies the reality that Jesus is coming. Therefore use of it is certainly not grounds for accusations that those who do are biblically illiterate or “wicked servants” working for the devil.
But, wrongly or rightly, you are certainly free to believe whatever you wish about us.

Dear Pastor,
You said, “The effeminate nature is sweeping the world in preparation for those horrible days of suffering after the Rapture.” I hope you’re referring to the suffering of the Day of the Lord judgment and do not believe in a pre-tribulation rapture as so many false teachers have taught.
This is one of Satan’s greatest lies, to convince the church not to prepare spiritually or physically for the coming 70th Week of Daniel.
The Lord teaches in 1Corn 15 that Yeshua will come “at the last trumpet.” The last trumpet is the seventh trumpet in the book of Revelation.
Also 2 Thessalonians 2 says, “Concerning the COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND OUR BEING GATHERED TO HIM, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 DON’T LET ANYONE DECEIVE YOU in any way, for THAT DAY WILL NOT COME UNTIL THE REBELLION OCCURS AND THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED, the man doomed to destruction. 4 HE WILL OPPOSE AND WILL EXALT HIMSELF OVER EVERYTHING THAT IS CALLED GOD OR IS WORSHIPED, SO THAT HE SETS HIMSELF UP IN GOD’S TEMPLE, PROCLAIMING TO BE GOD.”
OF COURSE WE KNOW FROM DANIEL 12:7 THAT THIS OCCURS AT THE 3 1/2 YEAR POINT SO THIS IS CLEAR, THAT OUR GATHERING TOGETHER CAN NOT POSSIBLY HAPPEN BEFORE, A LEAST, 3 1/2 YEARS OF TRIBULATION. Daniel 12:7, “And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a TIME, TIMES AND AN HALF; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.”
Matthew 24 is clearing referring to the 70th Week of Daniel:
Matt.24:29-31, “IMMEDIATELY “AFTER” THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear THE SIGN [THE RAPTURE} of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he shall SEND HIS ANGELS WITH A GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET, and THEY SHALL GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, from one end of heaven to the other.”
This happens AFTER the Satanic tribulation of those days.
Now comes the resurrection of the dead, {1 Corn 15:53, “For this perishable must put on the imperishable”} and the rapture of the living, {1 Corn 53.. “and this mortal must put on immortality.} as God’s wrath must then come upon the unrepentant of the earth.

Dear Pastor Chambers
Just wanted to mention to yourself Brother Joseph, when the Lord handed you the Sword of the Spirit of truth to you; are others jealous because they did not get one as large?
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep the from the hour of temptation which shall come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Is this not also the time of Jacobs trouble?
How are we kept from this hour? Where are we kept? no rapture or harpadso = no fulfillment of this verse.
I have seen the last trumphet verse as well, what about hope for the Chrsitians in the Tribulation?
I also thought that sex with *fallen angels was at the top of the food chain for sin! Then sex with animals, then with same sex, then outside of marriage, then self stimulas for males.
*( night time bedroom visits for girls, incubus spirits)
15 years ago 250,000 Chrsitains were being killed every year. I know a lot of people do not want me to speak about God, at work i was told not to. All lot of people say that i would be okay if it were not for my belief in Jesus. We’re all getting hit. Did any one think that they have been persecuted; they did not get a promotion, a membership, and invitation, a kind word, or that we need an mental examination,or family caused a divorce, or just simply laughed at. it is not always blood shed, thats why we are to love one another Melvin!
I know other Chrsitians here in Winnipeg and there are a few of us that have a FEELING that we may have to die for our beliefs, so be it!
God Bless my Chrsitain Bretheren

I am a pre wrath beleiver. And the sith seal is clearly the rapture, When the sky opens up and the people of the earth are yelling for the rocks to fall on them, Why? because they see the lamb of God and they say so! Hide us from the warath of the lamb for the great day of his wrth has come and who can stand? Later in the that verse a great crowd appears in heaven and they are have come out of the tribulation period, so that means the tribrulation is the seals and not afterwards. The wrath of God is after wards.

Granted those christians who do not take the mark of the beast will be persucted. Rev 12
deals with the JEWISH tribulation saints. The woman is Israel, they are taken to the wilderness where god will substain them for three and a half years. The body of Christ has already
been raptured. You must read the bible to have SOUND DOCTRINE. Most of the chritain trib saints will be killed, the jewish trib saints are raptured. Hebrews 9 vs 28, MATHEW 25, if you are not
holy, if you are not looking for his appearence, these Jewish trib saints will not be raptured.
When Jesus comes to set up his kingdom, wikll he find faith on this earth? NOT MUCH BECAUSE THE
TRIB SAINTS who are JEWISH are raptured, the body of christ raptured, and nearly all the christian
tribulation saints are killed. SOUND DOCTRINE

The Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth is returning “in the clouds” on May 21, 2011 (according to the Bible). There will be no 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth and the earth is going to come to an end five months later on October 21, 2011 (according to the Bible). The true believers are going to meet Christ in the clouds and we will be going to be with him at the “new heaven and a new earth: for trhe first heaven and the first earth were (will be) passed away” (Revelation 21:1).
