Christians 'Beheaded' by Boko Haram in Gwaza

Considering all the happenings in the world today, it is a pointer to the fact that we are in the 'End Time' already. End Time did not just start, it started the day Christ said "It is finished" but so many of us are not cognizant to this fact because the things happening seems to happen far from our dwelling.

The simple fact is- We are living in the end of this Heaven and Earth. What are you living for? Today? or the Future (New Jerusalem) Revelation 21:1-2. Boko Haram is fast taking territory in some part of the country and they seem unstoppable by the Government. Where there is no fear of Boko Haram, there is fear of Ebola Virus...You cannot find safety on 'this' earth (Mark 8:35) Your safety is in CHRIST. 

According to reports, Boko Haram militants are beheading young men in the Christian community in Gwoza, the Borno town that the insurgent group recently took over and declared an Islamic caliphate.


Sources from the town claim that Christian men who refuse to convert to Islam are being beheaded while the women are being forced into marriages with the insurgents.

"It is quite clear that terrorism has no friend, but it is abundantly clear that the Christians are worst hit. The whole town and the Parish rectory have been occupied by the terrorists. So many structures and items have been vandalized. Dozens have been killed and a lot of church structures have been burnt down. Christians in the town are really in a terrible situation, a moment of great persecution. Christian men were caught and beheaded, the women were forced to become Muslims and were taken as wives to the terrorists.” Rev. Fr. Gideon Obasogie, the social communications director of the catholic diocese of Maiduguri said.  “It might surprise you to know that no one knows the state of affairs in this terrorist zone. The houses of Christians that have fled are now occupied by the ‘haramists’. Their cars are used by the terrorists,” Rev Obasogie said.
He also said Boko Haram sympathizers in Gwoza showed the militants homes belonging to Christians and even showed them where some of the Christians went to hide when the killing began. They were fished out and killed.
