..for you will be brought before councils on the account of My name.... You will be hated by many because of Me... A time will come when whoever will kill you will think that he is offering service to God... But do not fear, for I have told you these things beforehand... Blessed is he who stands firm 'til the very end... for that same one shall be crowned... (Matthew 10:18; Matthew 10:22; John 16:2; John 16:33; Matthew 24:13; Revelation 2:10)
