Psalm 2:5
When we think about countries that persecute Christians, America isn’t usually the first to pop up in your mind. And while it’s far from the worst, the mistreatment of believers is getting progressively worse. Whether we are slandered, mocked, or “canceled”, intolerance for followers of Christ is wearing thin. Yet we needn’t fear those who can kill the body but not our souls. (Matt. 10:28) Because God has an a appointed day when He will deal with all the peoples of the earth who reject Him, His Son, and His children. They will taste God’s anger, and be terrified of His wrath poured out through the return of Christ. Jesus is the mighty eternal King of all creation, against whom no ruler or army can stand. He will break the nations with a “rod of iron”, (Ps. 2:9) and will reign forever. So stand strong, and be courageous. Because the Lord will have His day of reckoning. (Is. 2:12) And that day is coming quickly.
