Just remember, in the times of the preflood world the saints were outnumbered but it's only the righteous who survived. In the time of Israel entering into Egypt, Gids people were persecuted and under a tyrannical government but God with a mighty hand overthrow that government. During the early church an entire Roman empire declared war on Christianity and the church overcame because though all hell should stand against us we shall prevail. The story of Esther reveals an entire world plot to destroy Hods people through wicked men (sound familiar) but Gods people overcame as they fasted and prayed. And the victory was great. No doubt the plot against Gods people is here, and whether like the Israelites we are enslaved or persecuted or put to death and though many fall away, no plot of the devil succeeded. It may be very hard times, no doubt but in Christ we have all Gods truth and promises to learn on. HALLELUJAH!
