A Wilfrid Laurier University professor warned a Canadian Senate committee that Liberal Bill C-9, which would remove criminal code protections for religious expression, will result in 'open season on Christians' if enacted into law. The legislation signals a broader global pattern of governments legislating against biblical truth, a hallmark sign of the end-times apostasy and persecution of the faithful that Scripture repeatedly foretells. Jesus warned His followers that the world would hate them because of His name, and that believers would face legal and social persecution in the days preceding His return.
