“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held, and they cried with a loud voice saying, How long O Lord holy and true dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” Commentary: “As of June 25, 2014 the data attributed to the late researcher David B. Barrett puts the number of Christians martyred since the time of Jesus at 70 million. It puts the number of Christians systematically exterminated by Nazi Germany at one million, while the number of Orthodox Christians murdered in Russia between 1917 and 1950 at 15million.” So is the martyrdom of Christians the unpardonable sin? Remember the Apostle Paul helped with the execution of Stephen the first Christian Martyr. Yet Paul later repented of this terrible sin and became the author of two thirds of the New Testament! So how did Paul repent? He became a Christian! Yet later he was martyred in Rome hung upside down on a Cross for being a Christian by Caesar! The cry of the martyrs under the altar for revenge of their shed blood was for those who did not repent! The sacrificial altar is where the blood flowed from the sacrifice! This was done outside of the Temple! Jesus was sacrificed outside of the Temple! All of Jesus disciples except John were martyred! What political movement was connected with the execution of Christians in Germany and Russia? The Nationalist Socialist Party of Germany and the Socialist Soviet Union! The Marxist socialist party and the German socialist party were deadly to their people! Socialists look at Christians as standing in their way of progress! Progressives who will sacrifice people to achieve their objectives! Murder people to get their way! Historically socialism has proved deadly in every generation regardless of culture! Do we want a repeat of Germany and Russia here in America? Once they take absolute power everyone will become an enemy of the State! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYou.com
