The Guillotine Form of Beheading Execution
The French Revolution was famous for its use of the guillotine in beheading executions. Although beheading executions have been performed throughout history without the use of the guillotine, guillotine beheading executions were very popular during the French Revolution as the preferred method of execution.
Of course, beheading has often been used in the past as a form of execution. Muslims have been beheading Jews, Christians, and others since the inception of Islam. In fact, the Koran, (the so-called "Holy Book" of Islam), commands Muslims everywhere to commit such mass-murder of Jews, Christians, and other such "infidels" by beheading. (Koran: "Strike off their heads till ye have made a great slaughter among them" - Sura 47:4).
Many thousands, if not millions, of Christians, Jews, and others have been murdered by such Koran-believing Muslims, (often by beheading), during the last few hundred years. This brutal form of murder is still practiced by many devout Koran-believing Muslims today, as can be evidenced by the many Jews, Christians, and others who have lost their heads in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, The Sudan, and in many other Muslim nations around the world.
Although Muslims practiced beheading as a form of execution during the Middle Ages, so also did many Europeans. The image of a black-hooded "royal executioner" with what looks like a battle axe in his hand, (see the picture at left), has had a long history throughout Europe.
Prior to the Middle Ages, the Romans frequently used beheading as a form of execution. Although much has been mentioned of those Christian martyrs who died being torn apart by lions or other beasts in the Roman Coliseum, many Christians (such as Paul) also died by beheading as well during those periods of persecution by the Roman government.
Of course, Christians have been martyred for their faith in Christ by many means throughout the last two thousand years of history. The Romans tortured and killed thousands if not millions of Christians. As mentioned, the Muslims also loved to murder Christians as well, in obedience to their "holy book", the Koran.
Millions of Baptists and other Christians were also killed during the Middle Ages by the Roman Catholic Church. Although few of these Baptists and other Christians were beheaded, many died by other methods of execution, such as: dismemberment, drowning, and having boiling oil poured into their ears through a funnel.
Many think of beheading as a horrible way for someone to die. Nevertheless, beheading is a much less painful way to die than many other forms of execution, since any pain experienced by the victim during his or her beheading only lasts for an instant. This is because the severed head quickly loses blood flow after a beheading and so the mind quickly loses consciousness. This does not imply that the beheading of innocent people is in any way excusable.
Strange as it may seem, the Bible does seem to imply that beheading will soon come back into popularity in a very big way. The Antichrist, in conjunction with The Great Roman Catholic Whore of Rome, (see Revelation Chapter 17), will one day murder all Fundamentalist Baptists and other true Christians, probably through use of the guillotine or another similar form of beheading. In fact, the Bible says that this Great Roman Catholic Whore of the Antichrist will kill so many Christians that she will be "drunken with the blood of the saints":
"And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration." (Rev. 17:6)
Nevertheless, the Bible says that The Great Roman Catholic Whore will be judged by Almighty God for her "fornication" with compromising Baptists and with others who now pretend to be true Christians but who nevertheless refuse to separate from the Great Roman Catholic Whore:
"For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand." (Rev. 19:2)
Muslims who practice the beheading of Jews, Christians and others believe that they will go to Heaven as a reward by God for committing these violent acts of murder. Nevertheless, all such murdering Muslims are deceived, since they will actually go straight down to the bottom of Hell when they die, as punishment by God for their wicked acts of murder against the innocent. In contrast, those Baptists and other serious Christians who trust Christ and so will be beheaded by the Great Roman Catholic Whore will go instantly to Heaven when they die, to live forever with Christ:
"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." (Rev. 20:4)
The Antichrist will gain power over the Earth, and will behead Christians by the millions with the help of The Great Roman Catholic Whore. Nevertheless, Jesus will then return back to Earth to set up his Kingdom where he will reign for one thousand years from Jerusalem. After these one thousand years are finished, those Moslems, Roman Catholics and others who refused to trust Jesus to pay for their sins will be judged by Almighty God and then cast into Hell to burn forever with the Devil and with Devil's angels, the demons.
If you have not trusted Jesus to pay for your sins, then do it today. Do not put it off. Life is so short. Eternity is so long. Mohammed cannot save you. He is in Hell right now. The Pope cannot save you. He will soon be joining Mohammed in Hell unless he turns from his sins and trusts Jesus. Only Jesus can save you. Trust Jesus today.
