In fifth seal times we would expect to see signs of persecutions around the world, with many fatalities and atrocities and causes of great indignation and anguished prayers for the victims to be avenged. Often we see legislation which paves the way for this by outlawing things godly believers would need to do, or need to believe. Policing of thoughts, of beliefs, of prayers might play a part in putting the heat on believers and providing grounds for arrests or informal detainment. No country is necessarily immune. Each of us can probably think of obvious examples of countries were awful things take place, or have taken place over past decades. I tend to think global decision-making plays a part in facilitating future persecutions too. We might be watching out for microchips, RFID tags, social credit systems, and the like which suggest technologies developing towards the eventual 666 system, but that might be more for future concern or for warning our children who might see it in their lifetimes. The persecution facilitation is now. We should be aware of legislation in any part of the world which facilitates religious persecutions. Social credit might be one example. Thought policing another. Legislation of beliefs. Abusable censorship. Forcing religious practices for one religion which other religions might forbid. Workplace codes. Dress-codes. All can facilitate persecutions, so we can expect such things to continue and possibly worsen to atrotious levels leading to distress and deaths. Vote well. Pray well. Watch well. Think well. And get a firm hold on truth, as it might soon be outlawed. Revelation’s sixth seal is most likely on the way, to curtail the deaths, but to herald the wrath of God to avenge them. God is judge of the whole world. Jesus Christ is Lord.
