They stood up for their rights, but paid with their lives. Soldiers came barging into their homes and forcefully removed them, dragging and screaming! Then taken to the dungeon from where they did not return. There, they were scourged and tortured.
Fate of Children SealedParents and children were separated from each other. The stake, lions and wood were brought to the place of execution. The trees stop swaying, the birds hush their singing, people beat upon their breast, and the heavens look down in awe.
The children were brought out from their prison cells. Spectators held their breath, some even laughed, believing that the children’s fate were deserved. The cages of the hungry lions opened, each targeting their prey. The noises of music and laughter were heard by their persecutors. The jaws of the lions opened wide as they rushed toward the children and attacked them with such ferocity and tore their tiny bodies to pieces while their parents watched in utmost horror.
Pregnant Mothers and their BabiesThe women were taken outside. Again spectators looked on as soldiers drew their swords and waited for a command to dash open the belly/abdomen of pregnant women. Once the command was given, their abdomens were opened wide as they fell to the ground with their dead babies. Husbands were forced to look on at this scene of barbaric debauchery.
Most Felt the Jaws of the LionsSome husbands, single men and women were thrown in the arena to be eaten by hungry lions, much to the sickening pleasure of some spectators who laughed. But while they watched and laughed at the fear, pain and torment of their victims a chilling and dread of fear of judgement came upon their persecutors, their laughter seemed to cease as a result, yet, the rulers continued with their massacre.
The StakeThose who were not eaten, tortured, and dashed opened were burnt alive. The fires were vehement about them and the smoke of their burning bodies filled the arena, with hardly anyone to pity them, yet, they sang songs of praises!Humans Capable of Horrific ActsThey kill not because they were hungry but because they were blood thirsty. Unlike animals, that kill when they are hungry, hence, the reason why they were not fed before attacking the Christians. Had they been fed, the Christians would not have been devoured with such fury.
Humans Still the SameThe above information occurred centuries ago as a result of persecution of the Christian church. These Christians were killed in the most barbaric ways because of their belief. They were prepared to defy authorities in order to remain faithful to God. And History has always repeated itself; therefore, persecution of Christian will once again take place.
Disobedience Caused Earth’s Doom
Long ago the earth was the most beautiful thing you ever did see. In fact, one of its most beautiful gardens was taken up to heaven when sin invaded the earth. Initially, the earth was void with no form. There was only water and darkness. However, there was a great man who, with two others, planned to make the earth a beautiful place in which to live. They planned to make a world free of pain, sorrows and death.Slapped in the Face!
It was thrown in the streets, the highways and byways. Yes, the silver, the gold, the diamonds, the dollars, the pound notes and other currencies. No! No! Too late! Too late! We cannot use it now! Pestilence, disasters, disease, plagues, heat, cold, floods fire, and earthquake are all around us. Angels, horses, chariots and a king are all visible in the sky. The noisy trumpets are sounding loudly, what use is money to us now?Plagues, Plagues and Plagues Everywhere
He ceases His intercession in the sanctuary, His wrath is kindled against those who worshiped the beast, his image, and had his mark. Plagues are poured out on the people, some had sores all over their body, while others had no water to drink or to bathe in because the sea turned into thick blood and the rivers and fountains flowed with blood. The sun plagued the people with its scourging heat of fire, and darkness filled the beast’s kingdom.
