Why did God allow His Church to be persecuted in Acts 12? To break them out of their Church bubble and into the great commission: Salvation to the ends of the Earth (Matt24:14; 28:13-14)...and it is for this very reason that I believe American was founded.
Was God being cruel? No: He wanted to show the early church that He did not shed His blood for on the cross for only the Jew; and He is reminding us today that He did not shed His blood on the cross for only the few.
