List of Nations that have Christian Church Persecution

 Nations of Asia countries where the Christian Church is persecuted and I am sure even the Jews are on this map, So pray for the persecuted Church help stand in the gap for them I believe the Lord knew who would be considered Asia in the end times and they were these 7 church types within Asia.  So I asked AI to give a list of countries that were known as Asia today and below is the list from AI chatgpt.  If you total these it makes up 48 out of the 50 mentioned on the map web linked.  The other 2 are in South America.

The Lord mentions the 7 churches in Revelations 1 and at that time they were all in Turkey.  I think all of Asia is in these countries however they also represent types of churches so all could apply to some churches of Christ in the West.  Interesting that the church persecution is rare in the West, would that mean they had a stronger witness of Christ that the majorities are Christian?  Were they maybe Jews and Christians that were awakened to Joshua 1:4 (KJV) From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.  That they maybe sought the Lord on where to go and headed West that was given to people of the Lord's.  Many even came from the EU area that even were Christians and Jews.
