About this sermon

The Roman emperor Diocletian was responsible for what has been described as the worst period of persecution in the history of the Christian church—persecution so intense it is mentioned in the book of Revelation. Persecution will again shake the church, and God wants you to be ready for that time. Join Pastor John Bradshaw on location in Split, Croatia, the site of Diocletian’s famed summer palace, for "History Repeats."
