---They were persecuted by a highly
developed Roman system of law that was the empire of their days. ---Who is the empire of our days? Not the
same as in early empire days because the feet of clay (freedom seekers) and
iron (total suppression insisters) continents divide the world into softcore
governments and hardcore governments. The USA is softcore and Russia is
hardcore. That is what one would expect. ---Except recently an organic farm by Adam
Miller in Pennsylvania, was run over by US marshals (police) who insists that
he cannot sell his organic products to his 4000 customers who applied to be his
customers out of their own free will. Why? He does not sell it to a middle-man
first who sells it more expensive to the public and grab some money for
himself. He sells directly to the public. Healthy food grown with biblical
principles blocked by a pesticide using local government who must feel “left
behind” due to inflation? Miller is Amish and do not use gasoline or
electricity. In Time of Trouble he is
not affected by these problems. No gasoline, no electricity (like in China this
week due to drought) no pesticide (Russia refuse to supply). ---Point is. Even the softcore “clay” of
the image of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2 will before the Second Coming of Christ
(coming of the Rock Jesus) have elements of hardcore in it. That is what
Revelation 13, the second beast as USA predicted, will do. Hardcore activities.
Signals of Endtime scenarios. Biblically predicted and all Adventist know these
things since 1860 already. ---So Paul and Silas were thrown in jail
for preaching God’s word. For living and standing for biblical principles. A
well-developed law system empire, hesitating to interfere with people’s
religion, but at times did and even forcefully persecuted the Christians. From
Paul’s day in 64 AD with Nero’s persecution of Christians there were ten
Caesars of Rome who persecuted the Christians severely before Constantine in
311 AD was so-called converted and turned the tables, also the Law of God to
enforce Sunday-keeping on Christianity against the biblical ten commandments
Saturday worship principle. ---Many were persecuted keeping Sabbath.
The Jews were, even in Constantine’s day. Cooking on Sabbath was one of the
issues always mentioned. ---The last Caesar who was still a Roman
soldier was Justinian and he got religious with his worldly loving wife Theodora
and the two of them built churches left right and center to silence their
conscience of the evil they did. I read it in Procopius’s online biography of
Justinian and Theodora. Justinian then suddenly decided to coin a new coin in
538 AD not showing him to be a soldier but a theologian with a cross in his
hand and the world. A world Christian. He had to kill and fight for it and so
the best lawyer in Rome became a persecutor of true biblical faiths and
supported only confessional faith. The Catholics. ---The Catholics took over from this
converted “emperor” and the pope became actually the power-base of the Holy
Roman Empire for 1260 years until 1798 when Berthier arrested the Pope for
France. The rest is history. ---What are Jesuits? They are shadows in the
Catholic church that works militantly to “fight” for the support of the
Catholic church in private clothes and use the same principle as the hardcore
continents: the end justifies the means.
If one dies it is not so bad because many will be benefited. If minorities are
suppressed it is not that bad because the majority will benefit. ---After the “deadly wound” as Revelation
13 first animal describes the Catholic church 1260 years, the wound healed and
became strong under USA second beast power, also in Revelation 13. ---What did Catholics do? They took on the
clothes of seemingly “softness” at Vatican II in the 1960's by asking 72 Protestants to come
and tell them how they can fit into the modern world best. Thus, pope Francis
also play with Amazon paganism at the Vatican as the 2017 Youtube shows. All
religions are considered equal and the same. Even no-religion. ---And the world is in chaos right now. Time of Trouble is upon us. What value
is a great strong empire army when their commander does not know whether it is
Friday or Saturday? What value is another strong empire army when he ordered a
war then hide and is wrongly informed how many of his soldiers are dying?
Thousands of people die at his so-called command and no end is in sight. Chaos
whether West or East. Plus climate disasters of Flood for every country and
Drought as well. Predicted for the End Time scenario in Matthew 24/Luke 21/Mark 13 by Jesus. ---Praise and Songs and Prayer is the only
way out of this one. Like Paul in Philippians and in Acts 16 this morning. And
organic farm systems.
