Some other thoughts come immediately to mind...
The Hussite Reformation which took place in the 1200's in Bohemia was a real awakening of Christian thought and freedom. The believers in Bohemia and Moravia (today's Czech Republic) thrived and grew. It was a blessed spring time of revival and hope.
Then came the persecution. The royal house of Bohemia was all but wiped out. The rich silver mines were turned over to the Austrians. The hillsides were littered with the corpses of those who had once breathed and lived freely.
Today? Almost no one even knows what I'm talking about. Yeah, persecution was "good" for those believers and those who follow them.
