Also look at the past century. More Christians were killed for their faith than in the previous 19 combined. In the last days there will be those who in killing you that they think they are doing God a service.
There has been open persecution of Christians even here in the united states. Do I need to remind you of 4/20/1999.
How? I would figue the Catholic church back when it was evil combined with the crusades would have made the number higher. We probably just are better at keeping track of people now than we were in the previous 19 centuries.
