CHRISTOPHOPIA

Matthew [MKJV]  5:10-12; 17-20 [Jesus said] Blessed are they who have been persecuted for righteousness sake! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward in Heaven is great. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. … These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept My saying, they will also keep yours.

2Timothy 3:12 [Paul explaining to young Timothy.]  Yea, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus  

       will be persecuted.

  Homophobia and Islamophobia have been in our vocabulary for some time now, and practiced by some even longer than being familiar words in politic and media. They do not however hold the record for historical longevity. This award goes to God’s people that stood and continue to honor, serve, and walk in His Way.

  One need not hold a doctorate in history to know persecution is the world kingdom’s covert and/or overt standard bestowment upon His saints.  Jesus explained “My kingdom is not of this world ….” (Jn.18:36) The Apostle Paul wrote much to explain this truth and that we as God’s people are not to think in synch with this temporal corrupt in thought and practice world. (Rom.12:1-3; 1Cor.1:20; 2:6; 7:31)

  Reading Paul’s letter to the Christians in Ephesus doesn’t require a course in theology to understand that Satan is the physically unseen head of governments. (Eph.2:2; 6:12) Even hiding in my enjoyable pleasant garden I cannot escape the truth or impact of this world-fact!

  Bluntly stated: This world has not, does not, will not ever love those that stand with and for Jehovah God Almighty, His Son, His Holy Spirit! Persecution is not something new to the USA. That it is on the increase and obvious in “lawful prosecution” should be no surprise; the prince’s kingdom has been in conflict with God’s kingdom for a very long time.

  As our USA history continues to develop Christophobia is increasingly difficult to deny.
