Unfortunately, throughout history, there is a cycle beginning with *(1) strong true decisive repentance and fundamental faith in God and His Son Christ and His propitiation/payment and atonement (fulfilled by the Lamb Christ at the cross and His resurrection Ephesian 2:8-9, 1 Corinthians 15) for our rebellion and immorality against God - and living in His ways (growth during times of persecution - think the early church in the time of the disciples), followed by *(2) societal and government acceptance, *(3) wealth and political influence and doctrinal and practical compromise, *(4) and finally societal and government rejection, often culminating in attempts to eradicate true Christianity.
