In this episode we continue studying the book of Revelation. Christ addresses the church in Smyrna. This church was encouraged to hold on to their faith because they were about to experience difficult times. No, He wasn't going to stop it they were encouraged to endure to the end because if they did they would obtain the crown of life.

Some would be cast into prison and suffer tremendously at the hands of the Jews who belonged to the church of Satan.

We note in this episode that the Jews (by natural birth) the ones not born again were known for inciting riots and mob attacks against Christians.

As we can see being attacked, slandered and scorned because of preaching Christ and His righteousness is nothing new. It's also nothing new that Christ doesn't intervene to stop the persecution. As He himself was persecuted......sometimes is just part of the process of light overcoming darkness.
