Paid With Their Lives They stood up for right, but paid with their lives. Soldiers came barging into their homes, pulled and dragged them out of their houses; then, taken to the dungeon of no return, where they were scourged and tortured. They heard the sound of wild beasts from the dungeon and knew that their fate was sure! Their children were dashed into piece before their eyes. Pregnant womens abdomens are cut opened by the sword, and the stake is flamed with their lived bodies. The doors of hell unleashed its furry against them. Deifiers Given Ultimatum They stand before their judges hoping for mercy, but there was none, except for those who denied what they once believed. Those who kept their faith were taken to the prisons and dungeons. Parents are warned that their children would die before their eyes and that there would be none to deliver them out of their hands! But parents refused to deny their faith, even though it meant their children loosing lives, whom they love dearly! Fate of Children Sealed Children are taken from the arms of their parents and parents taken from their children. The stake, lions, and wood are brought to the place of execution. The trees stop swaying, the birds hush their singing, people beat upon their breast, and the heavens look down in awe. The children are brought out from their prison cells, spectators hold their breath, while some laughed, believing that the childrens fate was well deserved. The cages of the hungry lions are opened, each targeting their prey. The noise of music is heard by their persecutors as well as laughter. The jaws of the lions opened wide as they rushed toward the children. The children are attacked with great violence and torn to pieces. Some lions dragged their pray aside, while other dismembered the body of the children, removing their heads, arms and legs and feasting on their torsos; while their parents watched! Pregnant Mothers and their Babies The women are taken outside; again, spectators look on, soldiers draw out their swords and waiting for signal from their commander in order to dash open the belly/abdomen of pregnant women. The command is given and the womens abdomens are opened wide, they fall to the ground with their dead babies. Husbands are made to look on the scene of torment. Most Felt the Jaws of the Lions Some husbands, unmarried men, and women were thrown in the arena to be eaten by hungry lions. Most of their spectators laughed while they were being eaten. But the fear, pain, and torment, also, peace of those sufferers brought a chilling and dreaded fear of judgement upon their persecutors; and their laughter seemed too ceased as a result; yet, the rulers continued with their mascaras. The Stake Those who were not eaten, tortured, and dashed opened were burnt alive. The fires were vehement about them and the smoke of their burning bodies filled the arena, with hardly anyone to pity them; yet, they sang songs of praises. Humans Beings Capable of Horrific Acts They kill not because they are hungry, but because they are blood thirsty! Unlike animals, they kill when they are hungry, hence, the reason why they were not fed before attacking the Christians. Had the animals been fed, the Christians would not have been devoured in such a furry! Human Beings Still the Same The above information occurred centuries ago as a result of persecution of the Christians church. These Christians were killed in horrific ways because of their belief. They were prepared to defy authorities in order to remain faithful to God. And History has always repeated itself; therefore, persecution of Christian will once again take place. |
