<p>Christianity, Persecuted Until The Rapture.&nbsp;Persecution exists in many forms from subtle nuances to overt physical torture and even death.&nbsp;Christianity has not only survived but flourished in all the forms of persecution that have been unleashed upon believers for over 2000 years.&nbsp;The reason is that believers in Christ understand that they are transient in this world and headed toward an eternity far removed from any pain, suffering, or despair.&nbsp;We are merely passing thru this life and any persecution is only momentary and He provides strength and grace for enduring, standing strong.&nbsp;"For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen, for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal" 2 Cor 4:17-18, RSV</p><p>Preface</p><p>Becoming</p><p>Steps To Peace With God</p><p>Chapter One:&nbsp;From The Beginning: Abel,&nbsp;Noah, Joseph, Moses, David, Mordecai, <span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">Prophets of the Old Testament, </span>Daniel</p><p>Chapter Two: Between the Testaments, The Early Church</p><p>Chapter Three: The Historical Church, Papal Persecution, The Founding of America, The Shortsightedness of The Western Church</p><p>Chapter Four: The Church Today, Christian Persecution Around&nbsp;The World</p><p>Chapter Five: Hope, Christ's letter to Philadelphia, Dealing With Trials, Awaiting Christ's Return, Rejoice, &nbsp;Being Watchful</p><p>Chapter Six: The Rapture&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Epilogue The Mark Of The Beast</p>
