A beloved relative, far away from salvation, whom I prayed for for years, I had a prophetic dream about. I dreamed he was strolling a little baby that looked just like him and was incredibly happy.
He wasn’t married, nor seemingly the marrying type, but I thought maybe this means someday he will have a child. He finally got married, but the lady would not have children. Hmm, I wondered, how will this prophetic dream come true.
Vastly prayed for, this loved one had a major heart surgery with a 97% chance of survival. Something went wrong. After a few days of great mysery he died. By the almighty grace of God just before he died he repented and amazingly asked Jesus into his heart.
I then knew that the baby in my dream was him. He became a new baby in Christ just before he died. It was himself that he was so very happy about as a baby. He barely squeaked into heaven. For this I truly, truly thank our gracious, loving and faithful Father.
I wonder where this thread is headed.
It’ll soon be the preferred form of democide for the One World Gov’t that is licking it’s lips to begin it’s short reign.
What that up the road, a head?
There are also a few pics depicting the falbeil: the model of guillotine used by the Nazis. All-metal construction except for the bench the condemned was placed upon. The heavier blade meant that the machine could stand much shorter than the traditional French model.
Because of the weird French laws, a guillotined person could not have their body contributed directly for medical study. The body was placed in a wooden coffin (with the head between the legs) and taken to a remote pauper's cemetery for burial "without ceremony". The coffin was placed in the hole and a few shovels of dirt thrown atop it. Only then could medical personnel retrieve the body for students to use in anatomy classes, or the family could claim the body and bury it elsewhere.
Yes, reusable. It will be the method of the False Prophet when people won’t worship the other Beast - what we call “the Antichrist”.
Take the Mark of the Beast, buy and sell, endure the fire and brimstone burning forever. Or, reject the Mark of the Beast and live in eternity forever. People will be forced to make a very distinct choice, whether they want to or not.
Revelation 14:9-12 King James Version (KJV)
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
(now this part just talks about them during the Millennial Reign of Christ)
Revelation 20:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Sounds improbable. When has a head shown evidence of remaining conscious? A few seconds of brain activity before death might cause eye movement and blinks and jaw movement appearing to be an attempt to speak, but I doubt that the severed head is aware of it.
Agreed, but see my FReeper profile for an alternative I could live with.
There are documented cases. I suggested you should google it.
Do you always discount things you think are ‘improbable’ without checking up?
I love how some people can just imagine OTHER RESULTS than what is clearly explained.
Google it for yourself. There are documented cases of a severed head opening its eves and looking at people who called its name. That sounds like more than ‘muscle spasms’
I’ve been choked out in BJJ classes. Its pretty quick and no pain, just a little fear. 3 or 4 seconds, max. Head chopping is barbaric, no matter the efficiency. I can not support that form of capital punishment.
“which I think would be horrifying.”
Not for very long
“would loose consciousness “
Psst...”lose consciousness “
WDC Mall...public executions (after a fair trial and conviction, of course) would wake-up many of those tending toward Deep State activities.
A priest, a drunk, and an engineer were sentenced to the guillotine.
The priest went first. The executioner asked if he wanted to go face up or face down. “Face up,” said the priest, “so I can look into the eyes of God.”
The priest was placed into position.
The executioner reached for the rope holding the heavy blade. Pulled. The blade released and fell and then came to a lurching stops inches before severing the head of the priest!
“It’s a miracle!” Shouted the crowd.
The priest was saved.
The drunk went next. The executioner asked if he wanted to go face up or face down. “Face up,” said the drunk, “so that you can pour wine into my mouth as I take my last breath.”
The drunk was positioned, and enjoyed a final drink.
The executioner reached for the rope holding the heavy blade. Pulled. The blade released and fell and then came to a lurching stops inches before severing the head of the drunk!
“It’s a miracle!” Shouted the crowd.
The drunk was saved.
Finally the engineer approached the chopping block.
The executioner asked if he wanted to go face up or face down.
“What the heck,” replied the engineer. “I suppose I will go face up like the others.”
The engineer was positioned on the block, looking up. The executioner reached for the rope holding the heavy blade. He was about to release the blade, when...
“Hey! I think I see what the problem is!”
but no one's ever actually complained about it
Because it is low tech is more likely and it is available. It isn't efficient and you better hope you die, coming out of it is a bitch.
The execution of Cicero, not historically accurate, but a good demo of a quick method.
