Pastors Predict ‘Dark Wave of Hostility’ Against Christians
For several years, Pastor Andrew Brunson has warned of escalating persecution against Western Christians. Brunson, who was imprisoned in Turkey while working as a missionary, says Canadian Bill C-4 represents “a dark wave of hostility” heading for the church. Most cultural institutions, he tells Fox News, “are dominated by people who are not serious God-followers, and therefore have little sympathy, understanding, or tolerance for those who are.”
The government’s reaction to the pandemic is paving the way for such hostility, says Pastor Michael Thiessen, president of Liberty Coalition Canada. “Social engineering is reaching new levels here in Canada,” he says, with politicians “imposing a new social order devoid of our legal, religious, or cultural heritage.”
Because coercion is required to maintain power, Thiessen says, “I anticipate further exile and punishment for non-conformists and those who will still stand and preach truth and reality in our time.”
Correction: This article has been corrected to say that the Bill C-4 went into effect on Jan. 7, not Jan. 8.
