It has always bothered me as to why this century's saints expect not to go through a tribulation for their beliefs, when throughout history all the saints were persecuted and were put to death for their faith. Quite frankly, I strongly believe that if their faith were to be tested as those souls of the past, their beliefs would disappear like the morning mist. Ask those souls in Somalia and the like and put your faith to the test. Would you gladly die for your beliefs?
