John 16:2 Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
A Christian leader in Iraq says the disappearance of all Christians from Iraq is “very near.”
Canon Andrew White, the vicar of the only Anglican church left in Iraq, says that as Islamic terrorists continue their campaign against those of other faiths, the Christian population is fleeing for other nations.
“Are we seeing the end of Christianity? We are committed come what may, we will keep going to the end, but it looks as though the end could be very near,” White told the Christian Post. “The Christians are in grave danger. There are literally Christians living in the desert and on the street. They have nowhere to go.”
The terrorists attempting to overthrow the Iraqi government killed 31 people in a homicide bomb attack last week. They’ve driven all but a few hundred Christians out of the city of Mosul, where the remainder has been forced to pay high taxes. However, worship in the city has ended.
“We have at least 25 churches in [Mosul],” Syriac Patriarch Ignace Joseph Ill Younan said. “All are abandoned. No more prayers, no services, no more Masses on Sundays in Mosul because no clergy, no people there that are Christian.”
” Amen ” to that ‘prayer’ Charles.
Let’s stop sittin’ back in our “easy-chairs”, being “couch-potatoes” like the world; and start PRAYIN’ like there’s “no tomorrow” – weeping before God for our brothers and sister over there!!!
We got “it” too comfortable in America to really CARE ’bout those same “people”! Let’s start REPENTING before God for our APATHY towards these suffering Iraqi Christians – and begin to actually FAST and PRAY as though we are those SAME believers going through and “earthly hell”, being constantly persecuted, even unto DEATH!!!
