We should be so far removed from the thought that when a
believer (or sinner) is shot and killed, died in a fire, accident, weather
disaster, strangled or other violence that "it must've been their time,
God was ready to take them, it was one of the ways God brings us home".
Nope. That's not scripture, let's be real, it's a comforting thought though,
It's not God's will that any perish, but prosper and be in health, certainly not at the hand of evil.
We'll understand these things better by and by, but the same
spirit that nailed Jesus to the Cross and took John the Baptist's head is the
same kind of evil spirit on the street working evil, it was Never God's will
that 9 Believers at Bible class be murdered at Church. These evils are always a
result of the evils in the world, and the enemy who only kills, steals, and
destroys. As long as we are in the world, we shall have tribulation. Unless
this world is Saved and follows the Will of God,,,,,well...witness, watch and
pray.
