There are numerous corroborating signs of fulfulled Biblical prophecy indicative of the last days of this age. We've covered a few of them. One which has not been discussed so far as I'm aware is the practice of execution by beheading.
According to Revelation 20:4, the primary mode of the execution of the latter day Christians during the period of the apocalyptic beast kingdom will be by beheading. This is significant because for a long time since firearms became abundant not much about beheading has been in the news. This was Muhammed's method of putting away folks he had eliminated for Allah, his god.
Now I read some alarming news from the Voice of the Martyrs that the president of Hopegivers International, the largest orphanage Christian benevolent organization in Northern India has been arrested and the operation shut down leaving thousands of orphans, lepers students and other of India's poor which Hopegivers International has sponsered to likely have to go to the streets and beg. Most of Hopegiver's support has been from Christian doners in the US. The Hindu militants (abe: in government) have also put out a bounty for the arrest of M.A. Thomas, founder of Hopegivers who is in hiding. They want him and his son Thomas, Hopegivers president beheaded, according to VOM. Having followed and lent support to the Hopegivers for a number of years, this is particularly alarming to me. I have met M.A Thomas and heard him speak here in the US on more than one occasion. Hopegivers has graduated thousands of their orpans from their schools, provided medical facilities for the sick, supported leper colonies, and much more for Northern India.
The Muslims and Hindus appear to want to make a statement by this bloody and grusome practice of beheading because they want to prevent (nonviolent) Christianity from sweeping their turf in India and the Muslim theocratic nations. The prophecies specify severe persecution to Christians before the 2nd advent of Jesus the Christ/Messian. This is the Great Tribulation which is prophesied to kill (abe: and otherwise persecute) most of the Christians of the apocalyptic latter days.
Of course, the hope of the resurrection as promised by God to his people is what causes Christians to be willing to take the punishment rather than to capitulate to the demands of the beheaders. It appears that this practice of beheading will escalate world wide as I understand the prophecies. It is also indicative of who will have the authority before Armageddon. Islam, being the fastest growing religion of all world wide appears to be the prominent emerging authority in the decades ahead. The implication is not good so far as the War On Terror goes, imo. This, again is just one more of the prophecies being fulfilled which appears to be corroborating the credibility of the Biblical record. My wife has gone to bed. I'll get a link on the Hopegivers matter from her later and edit it in. What do you think?
Probably Faith and Belief for this one and open to suggestions from other admins.
