This is a great opportunity to talk about what we'll face in the great tribulation. This is to everone who reads this:
In truth, a lot of you will panic and betray the brethren just to try to save your skins. It's what will happen when you don't prepare to endure the great tribulation in Christ to wait until after the end of it for His return.
You have no idea how bad it will be when the antichrist takes everything from us for not woshipping him and taking his mark. Read how Hitler took everything away from the Jews, banning them from places of work and education at first, and then public places, etc. Hitler moved them to ghettos and took their proprety and posessions "for the Reich" (but really, they were for him and his chronies).
And last of all, Hitler killed them. The Bible says about the antichrist:
Revelation 13:7 states: "And
it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, people, language, and nation."
So this shows the antichrist will be allowed to take physical things from us, but if we build up our faith and trust in Christ, making Jesus our fortess, He will help us not to fall away from Him - that is the most important thing to Jesus.
We really don't have much time to waste pseudo-debating this. Build up your faith in Christ now. Believe He will provide for you when your things get taken away from you.
And when it's time for you to be executed, know with all you heart, as Steven, did that Jesus will be with you and that you will come home to Him.
