I agree life with Jesus is a paradise.
"But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You."
"Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!"
"Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy."
"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls."
"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!"

I do understand what you mean here... We all must be prepared to die, what better death than for our Faith?
I am trying to say, that we must not have people believe this world is paradise.
Most take it to mean, that they will live a life of worldly riches full of blessings.
Did you mean a spiritual paradise?
Persecution is unpleasant for the flesh, not the soul no, it is better to persecuted for a short while in the flesh than eternity of the soul.

TRUELY SAID. YES IT SAYS THE GODLY WILL SUFFER PERSECUTION, TRIAL, AND TRIBULATIONS. TRUE IT SEEMS OUR PEACE IS OUR OASIS FROM A CHAOTIC WORLD. I ONCE ASKED THE LORD FOR A LONG LIFE, AND STILL DO. HE SAID SOMETHING BACK THAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID TO MY INNER SELF THIS. YOU ASK FOR A LONG LIFE ARE YOU READY TO FACE EVERYDAY'S CIRCUMSTANCES, AND SOMETIMES REAL SPIRITUAL WAREFARES. I DID THINK ABOUT IT AND WONT TELL YOU WHAT I THOUGHT THOUGH.
