War on Christians!

Listen to this blog.

The heavens should rejoice, together with everyone
who lives there.
But pity the earth
and the sea,
because the devil
was thrown down
to the earth.
He knows his time is short,
and he is very angry.”
When the dragon realized that it had been thrown down to the earth, it tried to make trouble for the woman who had given birth to a son.

But the woman was given two wings like those of a huge eagle, so that she could fly into the desert. There she would escape from the snake and be taken care of for a time, two times, and half a time.
The snake then spewed out water like a river to sweep the woman away. But the earth helped her and swallowed the water that had come from the dragon’s mouth. This made the dragon terribly angry with the woman. So it started a war against the rest of her children. They are the people who obey God and are faithful to what Jesus did and taught.

Revelation 12:12-17

If there is only a little time left before the Coming of Jesus, then believers can rejoice, but also must be sobered by a very difficult truth. Satan has gone to War against followers of Jesus.

Of course Satan has always been opposed to Christians and attempts to derail their faith at every possible opportunity, but this is different. At the very end of time, just before the return of Jesus the opposition by Satan will become a declared war.

Are we in those Last Days? Many of God's people believe that we are indeed living in that time right now. If that is the case, then look around at other believers and at your own life and see if the attacks from Satan have intensified. My very subjective view of the matter is that they definitely have increased. I have never seen so many believers with so much trouble and even direct Satanic attacks. There seems to be major trouble on every front for followers of Jesus.

So how must we live our lives as Christians if we are in those final days? I think it was Sir Winston Churchill who said, "Never, never, never give up!" Hold on tightly to Jesus and keep saying "No" to Satan. The Lord will soon be here and the victory will soon be won!

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
