… the first time in millennia, Judaism has lost its title as the world’s most persecuted religion; today, that dubious honor goes to Christianity… We are living through one of the largest persecutions of a religious group in history. Few people realize that we are today living through the largest persecution of Christians in history, worse even than the famous attacks under ancient Roman emperors like Diocletian and Nero.

It’s possible for antisemitism to make a comeback too. Possibly first among the more orthodox, traditional, Jews. Although most Jews I have known have warned me that antisemitism can evolve into anti-christianity too.
Worse is coming, and I suspect that Jews and Christians will be going through it together.
We’d best learn from the Jews in the 30s and 40s.
OTOH Christianity came from the Jews.
Unless the Christians decide to fight back?

I think it would be more accurate to say that Christians and Jews together have become the pariahs of (supposedly) civilized society, as it was in the time of the post-Tiberian, pre-Constantinian Roman Empire. My hope, and the focus of my efforts, will be that the Christians and Jews do not turn on each other, as they did before, but recognize that their enemy is the same demonic power, as it always has been.
“Although most Jews I have known have warned me that antisemitism can evolve into anti-christianity too.”
As we watch the foreign policy from our current administration, antisemitism and anti-Christianity are key.
I believe this persecution, as it increases world wide, will purge the unfaithful from the ranks and be the springboard for true revival.
Both Islamic regimes and the Western Progressives are in their own ways marginalizing religious beliefs they find objectionable.
Those who believe in traditional views of marriage and sexuality are being marginalized in society, losing jobs, being prevented from doing business, being candidates for major political parties in elections etc. etc. in places like the US and the UK.
That is surprising considering that the “most powerful man in the world” claims to be a Christian. It’s almost unbelievable that Christians could be persecuted without the Community Organizer’s approval, and yet there do seem to be a lot of religiously motivated rapes, murders, and forced conversions.
