Revelation 20: 4 & 5
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
Amen! So sad this happened, and even sadder that other Christians are persecuted for their faith in so many countries. Signs of even more persecution to come until Jesus returns for His believers both dead and alive.
Time is past for getting ready. It is now time to be ready!
Jesus is coming soon!
