I watched the American election even though I live in another country. I live in a country where corruption is rife, and nothing is being done about it. It is like evil and deceit are being celebrated all over the world. How many of you feel that we are approaching the point where it is going to be full-blown persecution of Christians. I have been feeling this in my spirit this whole year, that 2020 is the beginning of the total onslaught on our Heavenly Father's children.

Abba Father, I pray to you, please help us to be strong, In Our LORD and Saviour's Precious Name,Thank you JESUS.

All the Conservatives in the world cannot stop what is coming. Christians will be persecuted. Maybe not this year, or next, but it is coming. The Bible is not a fable, every word is the truth. LORD Jesus warned us.

We have no need to fear . We will raptured out before the tribulation. We have everything to be joyful for as things get worse around us . Our salvation is nearer than when we first believed . Meaning the redemption of our bodies. Rom 8 .23 .

Looks like non Christian's are in for some trouble in the future.

Revelation 9:1-5KJV
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

You are not alone my friend in this year in particular the spirit has been speaking the exact same thing to those who know his voice me and many others have felt and said the very same thing, in fact this year seems to be a sort of awakening for his children he has been speaking and working through and guiding many in ways more profound more deep and even things they never really experienced before.

For instance and this is not normal for me but I had a full on vision on november 3rd normally I see images play in my minds eye and can happen at any time most days it is a frequent thing I experience but full on visions I very really experience.
I was in the car with my family at sundown admiring the blend of the pink amber and orange colors with the clouds it was a cloudy but beautiful sunset and was telling father how he truly knows how to make a masterpiece and then I saw what looked like the sun when it is behind a cloud you know that circle of light kind but then was like wait the sun should be on my left and after checking it was and then I looked back at the circle of light and it was still there.

But then it slowly started morphing and it slowly became the face of a realistic looking dragon head and face I thoguht I must have been seeing things so I looked away from it for a minute and looked back but there it was still in the sky I looked around at my family to see if they were seeing what I was seeing and no one was so I looked back at the dragon and it then began to morph again slwoly turning to the face of a man except I couldn't see what he looked like it only showed enough to know it was a mans face

I got a sudden feeling of dread that shivered down my spine but no sooner than that it suddenly dispersed like a buch of clouds or something then formed intself back into the circle of light but this time it was much bigger and much brighter and kept getting bigger and brighter to the point I couldn't even look at it but was envloped with this peace but a different kind of peace it was a warm comfortable kind of peace like when you are out in the cold and you snuggle up in a nice soft warm bed and blanket and sigh in content

I understand and I agree my friend. Joe Biden is a brazen criminal who should be brought up on charges for RICO violations and IRS tax evasion. Ilihan Omar is unquestionably guilty of immigration fraud and should be kicked out of the country. Yet the DOJ and FBI will not touch them with their little finger. The political class is absolutely immune from all prosecution in the United States it is totally corrupt. The FBI and DOJ choose and want corruption also. Soon enough the conservative Christians will be called outlaws.I do believe persecution is right around the corner tragically.

It would be a very very good time to live in Texas or move to Texas. In fact I believe that the conservative states should simply secede from the criminality of the government.

Completely agree with you. Christians are not appointed to wrath and per John 14 we will be safely ensconced in our Father's house before the tribulation begins. The Rapture is boilerplate biblical doctrine beyond refutation.

You are absolutely correct in your observation. But one has to be clear about the meaning of "the end".

What we have seen since the beginning of 2020 is a preparation for the reign of the Antichrist. When you see almost everyone walking around with a muzzle on their mouth in unquestioning obedience to the "wisdom from on high" (which is totally bogus), it is not difficult to see that when the Antichrist comes along and insists that everyone take the Mark of the Beast, few will question that, and even fewer will resist that.

By the same token the Holy Spirit must be taken "out of the way" before the Antichrist can be revealed. And since He indwells every believer, the Church will be raptured before the advent of the Antichrist.

In the meantime the persecution of Christians and churches has already begun. In the USA, Democratic governors and mayors became petty tyrants, and shut down the normal operation of churches (as being non-essential) while keeping liquor stores open. Then they used their powers to persecute Christians who refused to accept their dictates. But they have not been able to get away with their shenanigans altogether.

If Biden ends up winning I can only imagine the ball will be rolling with increased speed I want Trump to win but perhaps Biden winning is part of the plan either way we have to put our trust in God

When they didn't put Hillary on trial but on the presidential 2016 ballot instead, it appeared crook was a prerequisite for the Democratic party of candidates for highest office.

Ilhan Omar was voted into her second term in office. Democrats prefer party to morality. Biden is all the way pro-abortion. Later term and beyond. Harris slept her way to power and when she will sell her body for her goals she'll do anything to go higher. And once there, anything to remain empowered.
If America starts to practice what the law has always claimed of itself, that justice is blind and fair and equally applied to all, so that criminals like Joe Biden, Hillary R. Clinton, Barack H. Obama, and others in office are held accountable by the law,the American swamp will eventually go dry. Because all the alligators hides are nailed to the wall in a prison somewhere.

Written in the Word and pertaining to the last days, it is declared the every man's hand is out for a bribe. This is true today everywhere I look

As for the last throes of what is called time, it must be very near, even at the threshold of our great Hope...God bless you always.

These are most exciting times saint most exciting. God will not be mocked. It's time to look up for our redemption draws near.

Praise be to the God of Israel who's words shall surly come to pass. Pour out your spirit O Lord upon all flesh and creatures.
Show your might among the nation's. Prepare your threshing floor O Lord . Make ripe the harvest.
Strengthen your servants with your right hand. Sound the shofar. For the time of the Lord is at hand.
Servants prepare the way for the Great King to come . Make straight the crooked roads, raise the valleys and lower the mountains
For the hour of the Lord is at hand.
Fear not for the Lord is with you, who can stand against him. Rise up out of your slumber, cast off your fears. Boldly declare his name. For his name is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that he is Lord.

Maranatha.

Hello Joey1964,
Corruption which is iniquity must proliferate prior to the return of the Lord (Matthew 24:12). But he who endures in the faith of Christ, which is loving our neighbor as ourselves in truth and justice, shall be saved (Matthew 24:13). If you keep reading Matthew 24, however, we see that the abomination of desolation, which are in association with the beast and the antichrist, must first have their time, prior to the Lord's return. Therefore, pray and hold on to your faith in love, truth, and justice onto the end, because the love of many will continue to deteriorate in these times of increasing corruption. And yes, the full blown persecution of true believers in love, truth, and justice, will also take place at some point in the near future (Matthew 24:9).

Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
