Happiest of New Years to you, sir!
A reminder our world is full of Solomes who would have their way with Christians if they could get away with it
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
Amen Chauncey-
They already enjoy murdering the unborn, and they would indeed gladly kill all believers.
Truly, a difficult one to work through, but a good reminder as we enter what seems to be a troubled year ahead of the horror that accompanies absolute power combined with a debauched society…and how deeply the enemy hates us. John had steeled himself against evil, never giving in, never relenting.
What a joy it is to look forward to meeting John, who gave his neck to brand Herod forever in a way his mere spoken accusations never could have.
“ A reminder our world is full of Solomes who would have their way with Christians if they could get away with it”
And full of weak Herod’s with power, who will order any horror for their own carnal pleasure.
indeed
Christianity is not for sissies
