Jim,
 
Thank you for posting the beheading video. I was shocked that the whole thing was shown. Thank you for the disclaimer. Had this been a non-Christian murder I would not have watched it because it would have been even more gruesome.
 
The first time I watched part of the video I focused on our brother's neck while glancing at his face. The second time I focused on his face. (I could not watch to the end either time because it was sickening.) But such peace! He never felt the first pain! All glory to God.
 
For years I have believed that many times God takes Believers out of their bodies before they feel pain when they are being killed. The video was comforting conformation. While being stoned to death Stephen in the NT apparently felt no pain. He was able to look into heaven and strongly proclaim that he could see Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
 
In Nero's time Christians being burned to death as human torches sang hymns while burning. Impossible to do without God's intervention. This reminds me of Ken Peters vision in which his wife had been beheaded in the Tribulation because she would not renounce Jesus. When it came his time he said just before the blade fell on his neck God took him out of his body and he felt NO pain.
 
Many of us Doves have loved ones we have witnessed to who will be left behind at the Rapture but will be saved during the Tribulation. I hope many will see the video or read this post and be comforted to know that God will protect their loved ones thru whatever happens to them for their stand for Christ Jesus. We can always trust God!
 
(John Tng, thank you for allowing the video to be posted. Thanks for trusting the Doves as to whether we should take a chance on watching it and giving us the choice. I am grateful.)
