Full Title: Jesus Appears to Entire Group of 72 Christians About to be Killed: The Incredible Miracle That Followed is Right Out of the Acts of the Apostles

(McLean, VA) — [ASSISTNews.net] Northern Nigeria is a dangerous place for Christians—especially for those who have left Islam to follow Christ.

But BarnabasAid says God intervened in power to save 72 converts and their children from Boko Haram militants.

According to BarnabasAid, these Believers excel in courageous faith, they have met Christ face-to-face and heard Him speak, they have experienced His miraculous deliverance.

They cannot build themselves up by daily study of His Word—because they cannot read. Or they do not have a New Testament.

Their story begins with a group of 500 Nigerian Christian converts from Islam and their children.

It is not normal for this tribe to gather in such large numbers, but all of them had already been attacked by Boko Haram Islamist militants and they hoped that a larger group would give them a measure of security.

Boko Haram were not deterred. They attacked the group and captured 76, taking them back to their camp.

At the Boko Haram camp, the Christians were tortured, and their four male leaders were told they must deny Christ and return to Islam or they would be shot.

The four refused and were duly shot dead, in full view of the rest of the group.

A week later the four widows of the dead men were told they must renounce their Christian faith or their children would be shot. They were given time to think over this dreadful choice.

As they agonized together that evening, their excited children came running in, telling their mothers that Jesus had appeared to them and told them all would be well.

Jesus then appeared to the whole group of 72, and told them not to fear for He would protect them. He said they should not renounce Him but should stay strong, and that He was the Way, the Truth and the Life.

The next day, the four mothers gave their decision to the militants—they would not deny Christ.

The militants prepared to shoot the children, who were already lined up against a wall. The youngest was a little girl of four. Suddenly the militants began screaming and clawing at their own heads. Shouting "Snakes!" they fled the scene, and some of them dropped dead.

One of the Christian men reached for the gun of a dead militant but the four-year-old put her hand on his arm to stop him. "You don't need to do that," she said, "Can't you see the men in white fighting for us?"

We need to send a few cargo planes full of machetes over there so they can do a Rwanda. Get tired of seeing all these inspiring stories on what they really need is a couple of cases of Winchester rifles and About a half a million machetes.

Maybe a few thousand crates of these.

There is a war going on right now in the spirit world.

Remember the parable of the weeds in Matthew 13. It’s happening. The weeds are here and have been for quite a few years.

When the servants ask the master, “Shall we destroy the weeds?” The master replied, “No, lest we harm the good seeds (souls) in the process.

The 4 year old was the Holy Spirit’s voice giving us our master’s message not to kill the weeds.

You do not find Jesus by lowering yourself to the level of the weeds. Rise above the weeds as your Light will shine so bright the weeds can’t come near you lest they burn and perish.

Only has date of article in March, 2019. Unfortunately no reference to date od incident.

They need training so when they learn of and report these wonderful events, they also learn of the dates and times and exact locations to validate the story.

I think the angels are a bit subtle....any kind word to an old lady on the street, a simple act of opening a door and holding it for a stranger, giving direction to a stranger who has lost his way....I think you’d be surprised just how many angels like you in spite of your self.../gentle humor implied.

For the four husbands, the alleged arrival was too late........

If that's a master plan, it certainly sucks.......

It is a marvelous story.

Given that it is almost a year since the article was published, would there not be follow-up or epilogue? What other reports are out there in connection with this incident?

Where are the survivors now? What about the Boko Haram survivors? ...any conversions from them?

good only at 3 feet or less and for only 5 shots. It is a gun to get a better gun. (paraphrasing WW2 French Resistance).

He is judging us and placing himself above Jesus who stated

“I have not come to judge, but to save.”

Lots of good questions needing to be answered to verify this horrific and heroic story which we all want to believe is true.

You have zero idea what Gods plan is hence you don’t know if it sucks or not

Who are you to tell God what to do?? ( paraphrase if the last part of Job)
