Throughout history, brave souls have stood up for their faith, even when it cost them everything. Simon the Zealot was sawed in half for preaching the gospel. Perpetua was gored by a wild beast in the Colosseum. And they're just the tip of the iceberg.
The apostles of Christ all faced horrific deaths rather than deny the truth they had witnessed. Not because they were delusional, but because the reality of who Jesus was had become as clear as day. When the powers that be come for you, how deep does your conviction run?
## The Coming Tribulation
The book of Daniel lays out a chilling prophetic timeline. In the last days, a ruthless ruler will emerge, seeking to control the world. He'll demand worship, persecute believers, and bring untold suffering. Sound familiar?
Isaiah warned of a time when "truth is lacking" and "he who departs from evil makes himself a prey." We're living in that reality now. The forces of darkness are closing in, and they won't go down without a fight.
## Discerning the Signs
Jesus Himself foretold the signs of His return - wars, famines, earthquakes, the gospel preached to all nations. Open your eyes. These aren't just vague predictions. They're unfolding right before us.
The book of Revelation paints an even more vivid picture of the end times. Plagues, demons, the rise of the Antichrist. It's like a graphic novel come to life. And if you think it's all just allegory, you're lulling yourself into a false sense of security.
## Judgment is Coming
When the tribulation hits, there will be no middle ground. You'll either stand firm in your faith or crumble under the pressure. The choice is yours. But make no mistake - judgment is coming for this world. Are you ready to face it?
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
