How do you envision God's judgment of Christians?
“How do you envision God’s judgment of Christians?”
The same as the prophets in Israel who suffered when Israel was invaded.
“Some returned to their womenfolk from certain death, while others were tortured and refused to be ransomed, because they wanted to deserve a more honourable resurrection in the world to come. Others were exposed to the test of public mockery and flogging, and to the torture of being left bound in prison. They were killed by stoning, by being sawn in two; they were tempted by specious promises of release and then were killed with the sword. Many became refugees with nothing but sheepskins or goatskins to cover them. They lost everything and yet were spurned and ill-treated by a world that was too evil to see their worth. They lived as vagrants in the desert, on the mountains, or in caves or holes in the ground.
39-40 All these won a glowing testimony to their faith, but they did not then and there receive the fulfilment of the promise. God had something better planned for our day, and it was not his plan that they should reach perfection without us.”
I expect persecution of Christians to come first. Try refusing to rent a basement apartment to gays, or refusing to bake them a wedding cake, and see who the law & government support. Given the changes in the military since I entered in 83, I fully expect pressure to be put on Christian chaplains to accept homosexuality. I fully expect a Christian Sq/CC to face punishment for discriminating against a faggot when he was really ‘discriminating’ against poor job performance.
And in time, God will judge the nation. Those Christians alive in that day will suffer in this life, but find their reward in the next.
