Persecution comes because of evil. As there is kingdom of light there shall be the evil one spearheading the children of darkness. Good separated light from darkness. When God sent his Son to the world he was the true light. He was persecuted by the nation of Israel, for no other reason than that they hated the light, The traditins of their fathers and the Law of Moses was their cover. and Jesus puts the finger on the heart of the problem. "If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin."( Jn 15,22)The clause 'If I had not spoken' refers to the doctrine of his Father. Jesus of Nazareth was not simply any man but the word become flesh, So the word of God points the culprit and it is the devil who sins from the beginning sins.
Jesus Christ embodies the Law of the Spirit and he refers in Mt.23.35 to the victims of persecution and generations after generation, from Abel onwards are counted. The 'great' persecution has already begun from the beginning great many believers are yet to wake up and know on which side they are. In Rev,4 we have the memorial of the four beasts before the throne of God.. They are His creation. The seven Spirit of God are sent to the earth so the Spirit of Christ was already in the garden of Eden as he shall be raising the two witness from their death. The Spirit of God is also present when Jesus says, " Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Persecution comes for righteousness sake meaning the Son. '"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way." applies to his own. God shall raise him though he fell a victim.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
