Sitting in the Dixon Dental office downtown this morning, I read World magazine (October 4, 2014), which they had displayed on one of the tables.  It’s a fascinating magazine.

Here is a quote from a short article by Andree Seu Peterson:

“Who would have thought that after centuries of modernity, beheading would once again be a means of persecuting the people of God?  Does it not send a chill up your spine to read about it in Revelation 20:4 even as we hear about it on CNN?  “Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed.  Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus.”
