>>Whenever they persecute you in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.<< That was fulfilled in the lives of the disciples of that time and - as in some prophecies - it may be fulfilled again in the end times, when Israel first gains control of the cities that belong to it, including in Lebanon.
The world is a very dangerous place!
It has always been that way for those who strive to practice righteousness and walk in the truth. In this end time, it is very dangerous for all believers in Adonai Yeshua, because the Devil considers us his greatest enemies on earth because we seek to free people from his slavery, the chains of sins and lies.
Knowing this, we must be wise, careful and yet courageous in taking the Good News of Salvation to all the world. There are nations in the world that the Devil has entangled in the bonds of pagan religions, according to which Christians and other New Covenant saints who believe in Yeshua deserve death for their testimony.
The history of Missionary work shows that many have lost their lives after proclaiming the Good News to people who were not mature enough to receive it. Nowadays, enough has been learned from mistakes that efforts are being made to train the inhabitants of each tribe, who know their culture and the best ways to reach their hearts with the message of salvation.
The support of such converts is also considerably cheaper than sending missionaries accustomed to a high standard of living in their place, who must first learn the language and lifestyle of the tribe in question. In this case, decades of time are wasted and often the result is much weaker than if the message of salvation had been proclaimed by a member of the tribe itself.
What else should we flee from besides persecution?
Recently, historically severe forest and grass fires have raged in California due to drought, and hurricanes with heavy rains and dangerous floods have caused destruction in other parts of the world. They have had to be escaped from as soon as possible. Although large and expensive villas and other property have burned down, staying alive is still more valuable!
There is currently a record number of climate and war refugees on the move in the world, and their number is only growing. At the same time, European countries and the USA have begun to treat refugees much more hostilely than before and have tried to prevent them from entering their countries. It reminded me of the partly already fully fulfilled The Norwegian Woman's Prophecy (1968), published by Emanuel Minos.
According to it, World War III will break out, as a result of which the USA, Japan, Australia and Europe will be contaminated by the fallout from nuclear weapons and people from them will try to move to southern countries, but because they themselves did not accept climate and war refugees, they will also be treated with hostility. Here is a link to the prophecy:
In addition, we must flee, that is, avoid all kinds of sin and the temptations of the spirit of the world. In the verse Ps. 119:9, we learn how a young man can keep his way pure. Lusts, seductions, and temptations do not disappear as a young man grows old, so that warning also applies to middle-aged and elderly people, men and women. We read in that verse:
>>How can a young person maintain a pure life? By guarding it according to your instructions!<<
Paul also taught young Timothy about the same thing as follows: 2 Tim. 2:22
>>But keep away from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace, in company with others who call on the Adonai from a pure heart.<<
We must also flee from congregations/churches that do not adhere to the original teachings of the apostles, but have changed and replaced them with doctrines invented by men! Acts 2:41-42
>>41 Those then who had accepted his word were baptised; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. 42 And they persevered in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles, in breaking of bread and prayers.<<
We who support missionary work are also persecuted
Anyone who has supported the evangelical missionary work with financial and prayerful determination in the places that the Holy Spirit has given them to do, has come to notice how surprising difficulties appear, through which the Devil seeks to stop prayers and financial support altogether or at least reduce both to a minimum.
In these Western countries, it is still quite free to practice this noble task for the time being and at the same time be refreshed when we see the message of salvation succeeding despite all opposition! Therefore, we must devote ourselves even more to realizing, according to our possibilities, that all nations, tongues, peoples and tribes may hear the Good News!
The time for harvest is short and it is NOW!
As Solomon says in the book of Ecclesiastes, all things in the world have their appointed time. Therefore, we must take heed of the right time, when man/people as individuals have matured to hear the Good Message of Salvation, understand its eternal value and accept it through faith into their hearts! History shows that certain times of revival have been set for nations and individs.
Wars, famines, pandemics, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, etc. awaken the nations and their inhabitants sleeping in their sins to flee quicly and seek safety and true purpose for their lives, especially to think the eternity that lies and wait ahead all of us! The many kinds of adversity that people face also seek to draw them into communion with their Creator.
Our Savior also urged us to lead people to the knowledge of the Truth: Luke 24:44-49
>>44 And He (Yeshua) said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you yet being with you, that must be fulfilled all the things having been written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning Me. 45 Then He opened up their mind to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, So it is written, and so the Mashiach must suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.*) Not found OT passage.
47 And repentance and remission of sins must be preached on His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 And, behold, I send forth the promise**) of My Father on you. But you sit in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.<< **) The Advocate, the Spirit of Truth.
