The Washington Examiner reported that Pastor Andrew Brunson said he was “astounded at the speed with which the U.S. is imploding” and that he predicts persecution of Christians will follow.
Brunson is the evangelical Presbyterian missionary to Turkey, who spent two years in a Turkish prison. He was falsely accused of being part of a failed coup attempt against that country’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The charges against Brunson resulting in his unjust imprisonment triggered a war of words and diplomatic struggles between Turkey and the U.S. Government.
North Carolina U.S. Senator Thom Tillis visited Brunson in prison and diligently worked and advocated for the missionary’s release from prison.

The House passed the resolution unanimously, and 48 out of 50 Senate members signed the Senatorial statement. (Currently, the North Carolina Senate does not adopt resolutions, but only Senatorial statements.)
Brunson made his remarks about the coming of persecution for American Christians during an interview at the Western Conservative Summit, held every year by the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University.
According to the Examiner Brunson said:
“First of all, I think it’s coming to the U.S. that there will be persecution. I was isolated for a few years, and coming back to the states was almost like coming back to a different country in many ways. And I’m astounded at the speed with which, I think, the U.S. is imploding.
“There are any number of issues where it seems that it’s no longer enough for a person of faith to get along with, or to serve, or to treat.......

Yeah, Trump winning left and right.
The SCOTUS soon to be ours for a very long time.

Economy booming, market rising.
Honest, we sound like faggots on this board, like we’re outnumbered like the Jews were in Germany.
Carry your guns, show up at ANTFIA protests and if they attack you, use what SO MANY of your proudly talk about owning.
Or don’t cry if they win.
Buy guns and ammo, folks while you can. You will eventually need them.

You are right.
“Coming? It is here now, we just refuse to confront it.”
Well, Christians like turning their inexhaustible supplies of other cheeks.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
There will eventually be a swing of government back to the left. And the Collectivists wait excitedly to press their agenda.

Note the die in jail and as a martyr in the public square...… But there is eventual hope.
