We must be ready at all times as we never know when His kingdom will come or when we’ll be called home. God bless these Christian saints.
Wonder if I would be so bold under the same circumstances? Hope so....
Revelation 20:4 ESV
“Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”
They get a special shout-out in Holy Scripture.
