“Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.[b] 10 And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11 And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations[c] will hear it; and then the end will come.(Matthew 24:9-14)
At the end times believers will be persected all over the world and thats exactly what we see:
According to Christianity Today, over 170,000 people are martyred each year for their faith in Jesus Christ!! These people arent commiting any violence or starting any fight, they simply will not DENY that Jesus is Lord! It would be one thing if these people were willing to die since they had a false promise(Islams 72 virgins,suicude bombers). But it really takes faith for a person willing to forget about all the worldly pleasures and to keep their eyes focused on the prize(Jesus) even until their death.
