Persecution for His Name

[John Lindsay Barltrop]

..........and did not Jesus say that the world will hate you because of Jehovah's name. As the time of the end draws ever closer we should expect more problems as Jehovah's people. Matthew 24:9, John 16:2, Acts 7:59, Acts 12:1, 2 are but a couple of scriptures that show that similar problems befell the first century Christians and we have been and will be subjected to the worlds hatred for bearing our great God's wonderful name.

Remember that it was this corrupt world and the hatred for Jehovah's name that had God's only begotten son put to death on false charges. We all need to lift our heads up as our deliverance is getting near. Luke 21:28

......Jesus said the world would hate his followers because of his name: Matthew 24:9 “Then people will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name."

Acts 4:18 With that they called them and charged them, nowhere to make any utterance or to teach upon the basis of the name of Jesus. 

Acts 5:27 So they brought them and stood them in the Sanhedrin hall. And the high priest questioned them 28 and said: “We positively ordered you not to keep teaching upon the basis of this name, and yet, look! You have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring the blood of this man upon us.” 

Acts 5:40 At this they gave heed to him, and they summoned the apostles, flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking upon the basis of Jesus’ name, and let them go.

Remember, it was Jehovah's people, the Jews, who were the ones seeking to kill Jesus.  They provided the false witnesses against him, and they told the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, “His blood come upon us and upon our children.”
