Welcome to the Tipping Point program.

I'm Mark Hitchcock, and on today's episode,

I'm going to be talking about persecution.

I'm increasing persecution in our culture today.

And in our subscriber portion,

I'm answering some questions as well as responding

to some news about President Biden's upcoming trip

to Israel and to Saudi Arabia, as well as to

some other developments on the global reset front, the front of the Great Reset.

What I want to talk about in this main section here today is about persecution.

And I'm calling this little section here, don't be surprised. Don't be surprised.

If you have a Bible, you might get your Bible. We're going to be in one passage in 1st Peter

chapter 4, verses 12 through 19. There's a story I like about two brothers who got in a fight

with each other and hearing the commotion from a distance,

the mother of the two boys kind of went in to break up this scuffle, this fight,

and find out what was going on.

And so after scolding both of them, the mother said,

who started and who delivered the first blow?

And the younger brother spoke up and said,

I hit him back before he hit me.

Now, that's a young man who wasn't going to allow himself to be surprised. And he anticipated what was coming and he was ready for it. And in the

same way today, Christians, even here in America, we need to anticipate persecution and suffering.
