16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it

I posted this because parents are fighting own family members because of the vax. In my pov the scripture is talking about the vax in that way..
I think Jesus is talking about being persecuted for believing in him (v16). Our body is a temple and we are called to be wise stewards of our resources. Thus avoiding things we believe are harmful is the right thing to do. Doing what is right therefore may also cause persecution and esp. division between friends and family (v21, 36-37). Our motivation is important (v38) and we know that God see the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).
Thanks I like this take.
Agree.. Will look about reading Samuel thanks
My fam is torn apart over this too. I feel like this might be our last holiday season together-- look at the way things are progressing-- we could all be dead in a year. Or in camps. But they don't want to see me if I'm not complying w the tyranny. The worst part is they are genuinely caring people, very spiritual. they've just fallen under the spell of the TV. We have 2 young previously healthy family members now struggling w irregular heartbeats all of a sudden... Yet no one is willing to consider it might be a result of the experimental jabs? The mind control is real.
Yes today my family member got angry at me for not taking this experimental poison... All i could to was reason and pray... Later she cried and hugged me but i guess maybe my family will throw me out... And god knows what could happen. But i wont take the shot.
I concur, something supernatural is going on. It is the greatest conspiracy of the world, the fight between good and evil. The choice is ours who we fight for but make no mistake we are in a war and you are fighting whether you realize it or not.(To those that think this shouldn't be posted here, it is most definately relevant to conspiracy)
Ty agree
