The most important thing to remember next to now is to be right with God.

Political prosecutions happened in the age of Jesus. They happen today. If this is your primary concern, I have good news. God may not save you from jail or a humiliating prosecution in an American court system for cause. However, if you can recognize mercy where it may be found, God can still save your soul. The only hope any of us really have in this life is to get the mercy of God. You don’t need any special wisdom or intelligence. You just have to understand who God is and that He is not you. Then you ask God for mercy over your crimes.There will always be self-deceived people who want power over everyone, anyone. They never turned anything over to God. If you’re the smart criminal in this scenario, lay down your weapons of mass delusion. Realize you are hung up next to the innocent, one true God, sent to take your place in hell and one other powerless evil guy who has no future. Then surrender to God. You may never be “special” again, but you’re special to God. One life turned from away from trending self-worship covers multitudes of error.
