David shelters from Saul’s persecution: Jesus Christ tells Christians to shelter from persecution as well.

1 Samuel 23:14

 “And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.” 1 Samuel 23:14

Saul cast a shadow of death over David as he constantly tracked him down with plans to kill him. In response, David stayed in protective places within the wilderness to avoid Saul’s persecution.

Today, we see the shadow of death looming over Christianity. We see the silent killer coming against the Gospel of Christ and Christianity as a whole. One sure sign is that the churches have tossed out the message of the Cross and no longer talk about the need for the remission of sin through Jesus. The values of the Bible are no longer in government lawmaking, the educational system has tossed out the teachings of the Bible, and Christianity is not welcomed in any sector of society. Society has become a very unfriendly and cold place for the followers of Jesus Christ.

The shadow of death looming over Christianity comes through the thing which forms the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words of the masses in every city around the world. It enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people as they openly and persistently come against Christianity. They deny the existence of God, discard the need for the Lord Jesus, and trample on the Holy Spirit. There is not a place of comfort nor refuge among them for Christians. As the masses of the “democratic” society allows the image of the beast to live and speak through them, they are conformed to their place in life by what they say and do. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

The global government of the beast (United Nations) openly comes against the teachings of the Bible. They derive their power and authority through the masses in every city around the world. Those masses welcome the thing which forms what they think, feel, do and speak as they are the tidal wave carrying the agenda of the global government forward.

The picture of the Facebook post below is from the United Nations page, and they are urging people around the world to call-out Christians for believing the LGBQT+ lifestyle is sin. It is a call to openly confront Christians for their beliefs. Worldwide Christian persecution is here! They consider Christianity to be discriminatory, bigoted, and inhumane,

 Jesus said the day would come when we need to hide from trouble, affliction, and persecution, just like David hiding in the mountains from Saul, “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” Mark 13:14

An abomination is an intense dislike and atrocity towards something, and this abomination makes the thing it dislikes desolate. The abomination that makes desolate is the intense dislike for God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Christians, and Christianity as a whole. We already see that shadow across our nation and around the world.

Today, there is a thing sitting in the temple of God, our body, where it should not be, and it is able to form what a person thinks, feels, does, and speaks as it desolates the Spirit of Christ “…it opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits as God in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people.
