DO NOT MARVEL, MY BROTHERS, IF THE WORLD HATES YOU. ( 1 JOHN 3:13)

This world wants to change every word of truth given to us from Yahuah. We will be hunted and persecuted because we hold the words of truth within our hearts, and the world wants that destroyed. So don't be surprised if when you speak up, that you are hated. Looking at the simple explanation of the word PERSECUTE above, shows us how we will be hunted out.

Any person who does not love Yahusha will find it impossible to love you because they can only hate you. Don't be deceived or deceive yourself, those closest to you who do not believe in Yahusha can become your worst enemies.
