Prophets of Doom
I'm not one to sugarcoat things. As a Christian investigative journalist, I've seen the ugly truths that most would rather ignore. And the fate of Simon the Zealot is a prime example.
This early follower of Jesus was reportedly sawed in half for refusing to renounce his faith. Sawed. In. Half. Imagine the agony, the terror, as this man of God endured such a brutal death. All for clinging to the truth he encountered.
The Uncomfortable Question
It's a question we all must face: what are you willing to die for? Not what cause you'd post about online, not what sounds noble over dinner. But what truth have you encountered so powerfully that you'd choose torture over betraying it?
Most will never answer that question. We've spent our lives avoiding it, building comfortable lives where we never have to choose between our convictions and our survival. But the early Christians did answer it. With their blood.
A Prophetic Warning
Simon the Zealot's gruesome death is a chilling warning from Scripture. Because the Bible is clear - the world will hate those who hold fast to the truth. Tribulation, persecution, even martyrdom await those who refuse to bow to the spirit of the age.
The technology to control every transaction, the means to microchip the population, the global infrastructure for totalitarian rule - it's all here, just as the prophets foretold. Will you have the courage to stand firm when the pressure mounts?
The Time is Now
The clock is ticking, my friends. The prophetic timeline is accelerating. What Simon endured may soon be the fate of us all.
The hour is late. Heed the warning. The cost of your faith may one day be everything. Are you ready to die for what you believe?
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
