Rome and Christianity

Around 30 A.D., a new religious movement began among the Jews in the distant border of the Roman Empire. A group of Jews began following these teachings of a man known as Jesus Christ. This movement began to expand beyond the Jews and that is how this new religion, called Christianity began.

Many people throughout the Mediterranean accepted Christianity and became known as Christians. For the next 300 years, Christianity was practiced by many city dwellers privately. Roman officials viewed Christians as threats and usually had them killed.

In 312 A.D., a well known Roman general named Constantine was changed to Christianity through spiritual experiences that he had during battle. That same year, Constantine was made emperor of Rome.

Under his leadership he offered protection to all Christians that allowed churches to be built throughout the empire and the religion spread fast.

By 392 A.D., Christianity had become very powerful in Rome. It was practiced from border to border. In the same year, the emperor Theodosius declared Christianity the state religion and outlawed all other religious practices.

Now-The Time of Salvation

My Love, surely the days are few that everything remains normal. Chaos and great destruction are on the horizon and coming like a giant wave speeding towards both the Just and Unjust. Many will come home in these upcoming judgments. My angels will reach for them before they feel any impact and they will be in My Kingdom. For those who are lost and die in these judgments without Me, their inheritance is eternal suffering.

Shout it from the rooftops! Now is the time of salvation! Now is the time to repent! How many days until so many perish? I tell you time is very short and I have warned through many but so many will not wake up until judgment is upon them. Wake up O Sleeping America! Your days are numbered and no one will come to your aid. If only My people would turn from their wicked ways. My heart is heavy but still there is hope.

My few chosen will walk among the rubble leading many to Me in their last moments. Keep your eyes on Me and listen for My instructions for times are perilous and the world is covered in darkness. Be My lights, My children. Be My light and bring salvation to the lost for the time is now.

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.
Ephesians 5:14 This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." 2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says, "In the time of My favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
