"Yah Rab Yeshua" were the final words that resounded on the lips of the Twenty-one Libyan Christians " My Brothers in Christ" who died for Christs' Sake.
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid"John 14:27.
These are the words of Jesus that he uttered towards the end of his life on earth!, but Is this martyrdom the peace that Jesus Offered?? Isn't that so naive ad meaningless if we cannot live to enjoy the blessings of this world?? People Throughout History has died, been killed , gave up their lives for various causes from victory to defeat, depression and so on. Looking at what these People have lost and have been "Cut off" from the land of the living would've bothered many to question whats going on?? Atheists would scream that these are foolish acts done by maniacs in the name of religion!! Agnostics would
comment God never cared about anything as
he has been doing in eternity past!! Some Would conclude God is dead!
But some people have other opinions.
In an interview with Christian channel SAT-7 ARABIC on Wednesday, Beshir Kamel, brother of two of the Coptic martyrs, thanked the Islamic State for including their declaration of faith in the videos before killing them.
“ISIS gave us more than we asked when they didn’t edit out the part where they declared their faith and called upon Jesus Christ. ISIS helped us strengthen our faith,” he said. [1]
