If the antichrists hate you, you are doing something right; if the Christians hate you, they are doing something wrong. Either way, our faith in Christ endures to the end, regardless.

Christless Jerusalem will experience the tribulation and wrath of God, two distinct judgments. During this time, Antichrist Israel will be the last place anyone would want to live.

Mark 13:15 KJV And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
