So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.It seems that the believers have had thing as feast of famine recently. First everything's going just fine, then suddenly they come under intense persecution and are scattered. Then after Saul's conversion, suddenly it seems things calmed down again.
What was the cause of this new change? Was Saul the driving force behind the persecution, and without its leader things fizzled? Or was it a matter of his conversion and subsequent defense of Christianity such an amazing turnaround that the persecutors were spooked?
