I’m beginning to understand the French revolution’s guillotine.
Though ... There's still the rumors of warehouses full of guillotines awaiting Christians and patriots at the appointed time. Many Christians have had dreams and visions of such. One pastor who went under the knife in his vision said he was out of his body and with Jesus before the blade touched his neck.
There has to be something rather emphatic about that kind of execution/murder. A kind of punctuation to the life and death issues involved.
