The end times are an infamously dangerous time for believers.
One of the reasons the end times are so dangerous is that believers are COMMANDED to perform behaviors which are inherently dangerous.
Believers do NOT get to sneak along with all of the others who are trying not to attract attention during that dangerous time.
Believers are doing things that are dangerous.
When Satan and his workers of iniquity are searching high and low for believers, believers are commanded to
- TESTIFY of Jesus (who the world–-particularly Satan and his workers–-hates);
- PREACH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST; and
- PREACH AND DEFEND THE WORD OF GOD.
IN ADDITION, the believer is to throw away the world’s method of calculating personal safety and use God’s method, which was pronounced by Jesus Christ Himself.
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.”
–Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:35
In fact, the followers of Jesus Christ are told in God’s Word that their only method of triumphing in the end times is to disregard their personal safety.
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
–Revelation 12:11
So, during a time when it is VERY dangerous to be known as a follower of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus Christ is COMMANDED to make himself known to the world as a follower of Jesus Christ.
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”
–John 15:19
Very dangerous acts in very dangerous times, indeed.
BUT, the benefits cannot be beaten.
DOES the reader believe the end times are more dangerous for some than for others?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
