Beheaded for the Beloved

(Revelation 12:17) “So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.”

(Revelation 6:9-11) “When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also.

(Revelation 20:4) “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.” (Revelation 6:10-11)

In an Independent Media News Publication online it has been reported that in America the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) is now plotting to turn American communities into concentration camps using a variety of family separation strategies. According to the report it states; “These concentration camps are justified because the CDC is “keeping you safe.” In the name of safety, the agency now seeks to forcibly limit contact between individuals deemed “high risk” by separating them from their family and the general “low risk” population. Public health mandates are already targeting families in their own homes, mandating the number of people who can gather in individual residences during the holiday season.” COVID-19 is the ‘excuse’ they have made to detain people not only with the virus but anyone associated with them. These so called ‘camps’ are called “Green Zones.”

In Communist countries a similar strategy is used that facilitates community detainment, family separation, forced isolation, home invasions, human slavery, individual liberties removed, persecution of so called ‘dissenters’ including political, media and religious individuals and their property rights confiscated. These proposed ‘Detention Camps’ in America it would seem will ultimately see ‘infringements’ of people’s liberties and rights that would be perpetrated in the name of ‘health and safety.’

In Canada the Canadian Government are erecting these COVID-19 ‘Detention Camps’ and ‘isolation’ sites to incarcerate those who do not co-operate with established medical guidelines. These camps it seems are not only for COVID-19 patients but may also have a wider application to detain those who do not agree with or go along with government policy. It has also been reported that the Canadian Government has published a bid request for Programmable Hydraulic Guillotines “needed” in support of Canada’s response to COVID-19”

One may well ask the question why guillotines? Are we seeing in embryo form a future form of government in the not too distant future that will use these ‘camps’ for a much more nefarious and sinister purpose? This is a reasonable question.

Adolph Hitler had these ‘internment camps’ for the Jewish people and those ‘dissidents’ who did not comply with the Nazi Regime but spoke out against it. In these ‘camps’ set up for the Jewish people all kinds of diabolical medical experiments were done on the inmates and they were in realty extermination camps. Stalin in Russia and Mao in China had these ‘camps’ and both Stalin and Mao systematically eliminated millions of their own people. Similar ‘camps’ still exist today in China and Russia for so called ‘dissidents’ and they also exist in North Korea. Many faithful believers in the Lord Jesus are also imprisoned in these ‘detention centres.’

Right now people are being beheaded in Muslim countries and we have seen this practice starting to happen in European countries and recently in France with the beheading of a French Teacher. Islam is invading our western democracies today through refugee migration from Muslim countries and by those who are gaining positions in the governments of western nations in Europe, the UK, America, Australia, and wherever they can establish a political party. Now Muslims have lots of children and in a democracy people vote for the government they want. If you have enough Muslims born in a country where democracy rules, then the time will come when they are so numerous that they can vote in their own political party. This will be the ‘soft underbelly’ of western democracy and the ‘Trojan horse’ within those democracies.

Within Islam you have Sharia law applied and beheadings are common place for all who will not submit to Islam. Could it be that a time will come when Muslim Political leaders in power at the political level in the western democracies, especially in Europe or even America, will have the power and the votes to detain all who do not submit to Islam and to herd them into detention camps? For the faithful believers in the Lord Jesus this will mean beheading for many. We see this already happening to Christians in Islamic countries and Saudi Arabia is no exception even with its so called ‘alliance’ with Israel and with the USA.

In the Book of Revelation John saw the faithful Body of the Messiah being systematically persecuted and many martyrs. (Revelation 17:6) Already we have seen martyrdom of faithful believers in Muslim countries unprecedented in past centuries. Tragically there will be many more to come before the Lord Jesus comes back.  John tells us that those who keep the commandments of God and hold fast to the testimony of the Lord Jesus will be persecuted and hunted down by Satan and the one through whom he will do his dirty and despicable work will be his man the Antichrist along with his beast empire. (Revelation 12:17)

Many will die and “fall asleep” in the Lord Jesus but we are also told in the Book of Revelation they are under the altar of sacrifice in heaven dwelling safely yet crying out to the Lord to avenge their deaths and to judge those who have murdered them. They are able to see from up there what is happening down here on earth. Each of them is given a white robe representing the purity and righteousness of the Lord Jesus and to remind them of their heavenly status and high position in God’s forever kingdom. Also they are told to wait a little longer until their fellow believers have been martyred as they had been. (Revelation 6:9-11)

We are also told in the Book of Revelation that those who are beheaded for their faith will rise to a splendid resurrection. It will be a special event for them and they will be highly honoured in the courts of heaven and they will co-reign with the Lord Jesus and with all the saints on earth in the Messianic age to come. In this life those who die physically, trusting in the Lord for their salvation, in the next life will be blessed far beyond anything they can ask or even imagine. (Revelation 20:4)

As John also writes; “Here is a call for the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead— those who die in the Lord from this moment on. “Yes, says the Spirit.” They will rest from their labours, for their deeds will follow them.” (Revelation 14:12-13)

The beloved Lord Jesus went to the cross and suffered terribly yet His resurrection was glorious to behold and John writes about this. We who belong to God’s family are accepted by God in the beloved Jesus our Lord. (Ephesians 1:6) If we share in His suffering that He received at the hands of wicked and evil men we will also share in His resurrection because His resurrection guarantees our resurrection to eternal life and immortality. (Romans 8:17-18) (1 Corinthians 15:23)

Many faithful believers within the wider Body of the Messiah (the faithful Church) are destined to be beheaded for the beloved and to “fall asleep” in the Lord Jesus but rise to a glorious and eternal resurrection having been destined to shine like stars in the universe for time and for eternity. (In the Bible stars represent faithful believers in the Messiah being both Jews and Gentiles made one new man in Him. (2 Thessalonians 1:10) (Philippians 2:15) (Genesis 15:5; 22:17; 26:4) (Ephesians 2:4-22) All who “fall asleep” in the Lord Jesus will be absent from their bodies but present with the Lord in His heavenly courts. (2 Corinthians 5:8) (Revelation 7:9-17)

When the New Testament speaks about the death of a believer it describes it as falling asleep. why? Because their physical death is a temporary state as their physical bodies will be raised to life again incorruptible and infused with God’s life and immortality. (1 Corinthians 15:51-55) (2 Timothy 1:10)

Those who “fall asleep” in the Lord Jesus, having been beheaded for the beloved, will be gloriously resurrected and will co-reign on earth with the Lord Jesus the Messiah in His glorious kingdom on earth. After 1,000 years they will be with their Lord for all of eternity in the final and perfect state when the New Jerusalem shall descend from the heavens to this earth.

If you belong to the Lord Jesus and are walking in the will of God by faith and clothed with the righteousness of the Lord Jesus and sheltering by faith under His atoning and cleansing blood, then, as a bride beautifully adorned for her husband, you will be a part of that eternal city where tears, aging, sickness, sorrows, suffering, persecution, bad memories and death itself will be a thing of the past and completely forgotten. The Lord Jesus will have made all things new! (Revelation 21:1-5)
