1 | "beheading" in modern times? | Rev 20:4 | EdB | 124865 | ||
To all Excuse me I missed a zero I meant to say there have been more Christians killed in the 100 years than all the years before that. In other words there have 75 million men and women and children killed in the last two thousand years because they called Jesus Christ Lord and of that total 45 Million have died in the last 100 years. While the Holocaust was a horrific event, tragedy and a shame to all mankind it's 13 plus million pales in the light of 75 million. In the last 10 years an average of 160,000 Christians a year are murdered, most at the hands of Islam. These numbers speak nothing of the thousands upon thousands that live in shadow of death as you read this or the still thousands more that are imprisoned, enslaved and being summarily mistreated around the world. There is a price for serving God, thankfully we here in the US haven’t had to pay our share. None of us really realize how God has blessed us and how apathetic we have become in thanking Him for it.

2 | "beheading" in modern times? | Rev 20:4 | Hank | 124873 | ||
EdB, while it is certainly true that God has blessed and shielded the United States of America since its founding, one wonders how much longer He will surround us with His protective hedge. One must wonder how long it will be before He responds with His awesome power and wrath to the unceasing efforts being waged to kick Him totally and permanently out of the American conscience and culture Obviously we have forgotten (or never learned) that "except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain" (Ps. 127:1). And what will it take to arouse this nation from its lethargy and apathy, its love of luxury and false sense of security? One wonders long it will take and how bad things must become before this nation, the stiff-necked people it has become, is willing to believe, take to heart, and act upon these words of God: "If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chron. 7:14). --Hank | ||||||
