Have you read about the Chinese government’s efforts to control its citizens? Asia Harvest reports that thousands of Christian leaders have gone missing:
“Each person in China must have an ID card. It is impossible for a person to catch a flight or train, open a bank account, get a job, or rent an apartment without using their card. Each ID card contains a computer chip which is also used to track people’s movements. Many Christian leaders, before they go into hiding, have placed their cards inside a microwave oven for a few seconds, which ruins the chips and renders them useless.”
Christians are persecuted, yes. But the government is going beyond persecution. They are “re-interpreting” Scripture; that is, rewriting Bible passages to change the very nature of the Gospel.
You see all, Lord God. You see the leaders who have gone into hiding–shelter them. You see the motives and goals of the Communist leaders–may the very Scripture they try to distort speak to their souls and transform their hearts. In Your power, use what they mean for harm to grow Your kingdom.
