A VERY CURRENT TEXT OF LUCAS INCREASES THE PERSECUTION OF THE SYNAGOGUE AGAINST CHRISTIANS

 

Time of wars and persecutions in the prologue of the Second Coming according to Saint Luke

 

"At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: when you hear of wars and seditions, do not be frightened; all this should happen first, but the end will not come immediately. People will rise up against people and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes and plagues and famines and terrors and signs in the firmament, but before this happens, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues, you will be imprisoned and brought before the judges for my name and this will happen to you for testimony.

Do not afflict yourselves with what you will have to depose before the magistrates. Because I will give you a mouth and wisdom that your adversaries will not be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed by your relatives and relatives who will denounce and kill you. You will find yourself hated because of me, but not a single hair will fall from your head. In your patience you will emerge triumphant and you will possess the truth of your souls.

 

This gospel text was sung in Spanish churches for many centuries to celebrate the feast of the holy martyrs Emeterio and Celedonio, two imperial soldiers who were ordered by the prefect of Calahorra Daciano to shoot arrows by order of Emperor Diocletian in the year 304. by refusing to burn incense to the idols

It seems to me that this evangelical parenetic has a very current context in the times of war Ukraine and cataclysms like the one in Syria (the Christian church was born in Antioch).
