It seems that the MIGA (Make Israel Great Again) movement has decided that the Church and its members are not Christian. Apparently it is not enough to believe that Christ is our Savior and the Son of God, that He died on the cross and was resurrected three days later. It is not enough, as the First Article of Faith states, that "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost."
But this article is not intended to be a theological debate, but a warning. We should be cognizant of the fact that it has been foretold that the followers of Christ, including the Church and its members, will suffer severe persecution in the Last Days. Christ, Himself, taught that "ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." (Matt. 24:9). The Apostle Paul similarly warned that "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." (2 Timothy 3:12). Or in the modern vernacular, "the flak is always heaviest over the target." So is this just the normal ebb and flow we see of animosity toward the Church sometimes poking its head above the surface? Or something more? I don't know. But the Gospel Lessons YouTube channel has a video about the persecution that shall come upon the followers of Christ in the Last Days.
