Wherever Islam is the state religion, where they set up a 'theocracy' governed by sharia law, Christians are sure to suffer the consequences of being 'infidels' though being 'people of the Book' along with the Jews (and Muslims too, according to their antichrist, bloodthirsty religion) Satan knows Christ is the ONLY way to salvation and that true Biblical Christianity is the Truth. (John 17:17) All those under his power, as "god of this world" (2 Cor. 4:4) he incites against Christ and His Church. Thankfully, we have Jesus own promise which shall never be broken, that the gates of Hell shall NEVER prevail against His bride, His body - His universal Church triumphant!
The blood of the martyrs of the Church waters the soil where the Word has been sowed, unto a vast harvest of souls as jewels in the crown upon the Redeemer's bruised Head - unto Him be endless praise. May He see the travail of His soul and be satisfied - the redemption of those He shed His precious blood for!!
HALLELUJAH!!!
Revelation 5:6-10 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood
a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying,
Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
