Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
A group of supporters of Pastor Saeed Abedini set a place at the Thanksgiving table in front of the White House on Thanksgiving as a way to remind President Obama that he has done next to nothing to bring home the American wrongly imprisoned in Iran for being a Christian.
“While Americans enjoy the blessings of spending Thanksgiving Day with family and friends, it is important to remember that millions around the world are being brutalized, persecuted and attacked for their Christian faith. Thousands are in prison,” Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, said in a statement to the Christian Post.
“Pastor Saeed will not be able to spend this special day with his wife and two young children but instead will be spending it in a cramped prison facing constant violence and persecution.”
Mahoney also said part of the display in front of the White House was to remind Christians that they cannot be complacent when it comes to the freedom of their brothers and sisters in Christ around the world.
This is the second Thanksgiving behind bars for Abedini.
