Archbishop of Washington: Nearly One Christian Killed Every Hour For Practicing Their Faith - breitbart.com
Excerpt from this article:
“'Reports suggest that about 200 million Christians around the world
are at risk of physical violence, arrest, torture, even death simply
because they live and practice a faith that is not acceptable to the
rulers in that part of the world,' he pointed out. 'The journalist John Allen
recently estimated that, this is a quote, the number of Christians
killed for religious reasons is ‘roughly one every hour, 365 days a
year,’ added the cardinal."

The Bible Says:
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." Matthew 5:10-12 (Taken from https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org)
And
"And
when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which
they held:
10 And
they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the
earth?
11 And
white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto
them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their
fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." Revelation 6:6-11
