PERSECUTION TO FOLLOW ALL INSPIRED TEACHERS.
The words of Jesus to His disciples about the prophets before them being persecuted convey the idea that those who should follow would get the same reception.
"If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you." (John 15: 20).
So says the Savior to His apostles; and so it was. They were persecuted and put to death. It is reasonable to believe that other prophets might be treated in a similar manner. If it is to be as in the days of Noah at the time of the coming of the Son of man, then we may expect that the great majority of mankind will reject the message of salvation proclaimed to them by the prophets which the Lord will send.
