“When I addressed the National Religious Broadcasters [a few months ago], the title of my message was ‘When Persecution Comes.’ I talked about how the same persecution that our brothers and sisters in Christ are experiencing around the world is coming to the shores of America,” Jeffress said. “I talked about the first instance of persecution, in the Book of Acts, and how persecution was always incremental. It started with verbal admonishments, then light scouring, then imprisonment, and then beheading.”
