Suspected terrorists kill 4 Christians, burn church members’ homes
Police in the Muslim-majority archipelago of Indonesia were searching for suspected terrorists Saturday after the throats of three Christians were slit, another was beheaded and a Salvation Army post and Christians' homes were burned down on the island of Sulawesi, according to reports.
About 10 people from a "terrorist" group carried out the killing on Friday morning in a hilly, remote village near the region of Sigi in Central Sulawesi province, Reuters reported, based on what national police spokesman Awi Setiyono said in a television interview.
The suspected terrorists also set fire to a church and burned down the homes of six churchgoers after they attacked the Lewonu Lembantongoa Service Post of the Salvation Army, the U.S.-based persecution watchdog International Christian Concern reported....
Yea and amen, it is surely as you say. And the day is getting nearer. Social media will have its own 'lockdown' concerning the militant religions, lest their HQ's and staff get bombed or attacked, and SA will surely have big decisions to make, as all men do not have faith.
Some cults thrive on persecution, so the wheat may yet have some tares to deal with, but generally the fallen away churches will, in a most wonderful way, gradually disappear, like bonfire smoke rising into the atmosphere and is gone.
Individuals will respond according their faith. Some will have plenty of oil for their lamps, as wise virgins; and others, like foolish virgins, will be running out of oil for lack of diligence, according to the teaching of Jesus.
Now is the time to enjoy the provision of God through SA, and listen to some of the great sermons from classic preachers of the past, along with contemporary preachers of the Reformed faith.

Good morning brother! When these times come to our doorsteps, I think all of us are going to be amazed at who submits to the demands of the antichrist and who doesn’t. That includes which individuals, churches or Christian organizations. I always like to imagine it being a time when the true wheat will be separated from the tares.
Muslim bakers who refuse to bake cakes for homosexuals are never sued.
We rarely if ever hear public harsh criticism of that evil religion.
So, fellow Pilgrim, only the Lord knows what is going to happen on SA when this comes to our doorsteps. I do know they will be shut down if they speak out.
The antichrists of this world already own the Muslims.
It would be great if Muslim officials protected their non-muslim citizens ❗ there always seems to be a lot of handwringing by the President of Nigeria.

While there was no claim of responsibility, such massacres have been carried out in the past by Boko Haram or the Islamic State West Africa Province which are both active in the area, where Islamic militants have killed at least 30,000 people.... .... Borno state governor Babagana Zulum, speaking at the burials, called on the federal government to recruit more soldiers, Civilian Joint Task Force members and civil defence fighters to protect farmers.
“In one side, they stay at home they may be killed by hunger and starvation, on the other, they go out to their farmlands and risk getting killed by the insurgents,” he said....
The Quiet Christian wrote: But I recall, Brother Frank, that the two faithful witnesses who were murderd and left to lie in the street were resurrected and taken to heaven. Or as that old mountain hymn that Bethel co-opted says, "there ain't no grave that's gonna hold my body down."
I agree brother. Any Christian that dies is taken directly into heaven. Praise the Lord for His grace. And those that murder us will be held accountable.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
One day the murders will come to our doorsteps. Those who choose to worship the beast and take his mark to show their allegiance will be safe until the return of the Lord. Those who do not will be hunted down and murdered.
