“The Body They May Kill” Reflections on the Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk
New American Prophet ^ | Sept 18, 2025 | Dr. Jerry Newcombe

Christianity has never been politically correct. It never will be. Therefore, there have been numerous attempts to snuff it out, beginning with its very Founder. As the saying goes, if you don’t like the message, shoot the messenger. But beginning with Him, there’s always a resurrection that its opponents had not counted on.

The killing of Charlie Kirk last week was a Christian martyrdom. And that assassination could well see a positive turning point in the life of America.

Martyrdom has been an historic fact in the 2000 years of the Christian faith. One of my favorite stories involving it goes back to around the year 300 A.D.

At that time, there was a Roman Emperor who was so anti-Christian that he did everything he could to stamp out Christianity. His name was Diocletian. He killed Christians for being Christian, and he burned their scriptures. There are fragments of the New Testament that exist to this day that were saved from the fire of Diocletian’s persecution. Diocletian’s chief general was quite suspicious of the Christians, and he had them completely purged from the Roman army.

Thankfully, Diocletian’s anti-Christian crusade did not last too long. He resigned because of illness.

In His wisdom, sometimes God chooses to allow his best spokespeople to be struck down, such as the Apostle Stephen. It’s to force His followers to find other voices to speak His truth, proving it’s the message, not the messenger.

Not my will but Thy Will be done.

Yes the copyright belongs to Jerry Newcombe and because he sends his material to us, sometimes, before he publishes on his own site, you will note that it went up on New American Prophet on Sept 17, and then on his own site on Sept 18.

So what is your point?
