Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution

Perhaps we don't see persecution because those who are living godly lives after Christ are very few. We all would like to think we are living godly but maybe we're just not.
Christ preached peace, love and forgiveness. I can think of a few others who did the same and were murdered for it. John Lennon, MLK Jr. Gandhi, etc.

Putting those three ordinary men in the same category as Jesus? Give me a break. Twilight Zone. Total lack of proper education in today's schools.
Spiritually barfing here.

It's not over yet! Rev 6:11. In a time when some Christians are dying for their belief and others seem to have it easy, it's still a battle. Satan has his ways to get to us no matter what our circumstances.. If you're experiencing peace then study hard and pray all the time because the Great Tribulation is coming and it's going to be very hard for us all. It could be even harder on us who aren't feeling the persecution at this time, when it hits. God's Grace guide you.
I'm not sure but just plain apathy could be a harder form of persecution than outright physical violence. Think about it.

I thought about it. And I don't see it. How could our apathy possibly be a form of persecution?

There is no single great persecution coming.
I also agree with John that comparing carnal men, ghandi, john lennin, etc... to God in the flesh is rediculous. Sounds almost blasphemous to me.
