Makes me wonder just WHO will be getting their heads chopped off.
...there are plenty of Scripture passages that ...
..show that believers get all kinds of nasty things done to them!
Revelation 20:4
And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.
Hebrews 11:36-38
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Those getting beheaded and persecuted during the Tribulation will be the Jews and those who will believe in Jesus Christ as savior AFTER the “catching away” of the Bride of Christ happens at the Rapture. I have a strong sense that the seeds of the gospel being planted now may not take root until this great upheaval takes place. Those who rejected Christ before may have their eyes opened when they see these things taking place EXACTLY like it was foretold in the Bible.
Believers have always had persecution FROM unbelievers but the Tribulation will culminate in God’s divine wrath upon evil and those who hate God and the truth. These final times will be unlike anything the world has ever seen or will see again.
