Are We Going to Worship the Roman Empire?

i want to make sure o people, when they interpret it, interpret it out of the ancient context first and foremost. One of the first things that i realize i was mistaken about. I grew up believing that every christian, there was a systematic persecution of the christians. Now how does that translate to where we are to day? Well, we can fly under the radar as christians and not witness to what that lordship means for how we live our lives.
