If anyone was found to be a believer in Prophet Isa (a.s), he or she was immediately put on the stake. However, if anyone worshipped idols, drank wine and spoke ill of Prophet Isa (a.s) he was saved from the stake. These tortures and severities continued on Christians till the death of Tarajan.

John: “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice.” [1] Gospel of St. Luke The Gospel of St.
Luke says: “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting with fear and with foreboding powers of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” [2] Gospel of St. Matthew This Gospel contains prophecies regarding the reappearance of Prophet Isa (a.s).
Some of them are as follows: (a) “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven…” [3] (b) “But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom!
Come out to meet him.’” [4] [1] John 5:25-28 [2] Luke 21:25-28 [3] Matthew 24:29-30 [4] Matthew 25:6 (c) “Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” [1] These prophecies about unfavorable circumstances show that the return of Jesus Christ shall be to remove all pains and difficulties of the people.
