I think it needs very little discernment to see that we are moving now into a time when faith in God's elect is being openly opposed by the powers of darkness. It is not even the test of whether you are prepared to lay down your life for Christ. It has gone beyond that. The test is as to whether you are prepared to live a life of dying with Christ. Paul's last days in prison are an illustration of an end time faith; with all saints leaving, departing, the work of a lifetime seeming to have broken down, alone after the most utter devotion to the Lord, and yet triumphant. This is the victory that overcomes!
