My thoughts are also with those who are mourned recently, those who are dying today and frequently.
I think that their mothers, their fathers and family are crying bitterly for those who recently died, not as a bulk, but everyday.

Yes I am sure that they are.Christians have been murdered by ISIS at an alarming rate. The same as the Nazis no one is stopping it unfortunately.It seems we are as blind now as then.
Act 1:8 But the Holy Spirit will come upon you and give you power. Then you will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world."
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
By analogy, "witnesses" is being martyrs.
Rev 6:10 These souls shouted in a loud voice, "Holy and true Lord, how long until you judge the people of the earth and punish them for killing us?"
Rev 6:11 Then each one of them was given a white robe. They were told to wait a short time longer. There were still some of their brothers and sisters in the service of Christ who must be killed as they were. These souls were told to wait until all the killing was finished.

Well, actually Jesus said, "Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit." So in effect, we are called to be martyrs. We were called to become dead to the flesh because our flesh was crucified with Christ Jesus. Witness could very well mean that; surrendering your carnal life and living a spiritual life in Christ Jesus.
you are right!
But I have this thought also: The moment one of those bullets hit my children... Will I stay quite, mute and idle?
The moment I see my family dying... Will I stay the same, simply praying or thanking God for that massive abuse?
His purpose is being done!
His perfect will is being done (agreed on) but, before HE COMES, thousand of men will be fighting in those battlefields, soon or later (and that will be our decision).

you people(plural,many; maybe not all) missing the boat. read about corrie ten boom, and the believers in nazi prison camps, the ones of faith who had JOY in prison
JUST LIKE THE APOSTLES SINGING PRAISE OUT LOUD IN CHAINS AT MIDNIGHT , chained to rock/stone walls cold and damp and with no human means of getting help.
yes, all the ekklesia, every believer following JESUS, must give up his life, be a living martyr and often also a dying martyr.
whoever seeks to save his own life will lose it (not in JESUS, but apart from HIM).
the ones who try to save their own life, who think it is valuable enough to save, are lost.

From Franklin Graham ...Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, set aside for the world to never forget the 6 million Jews who were slaughtered by the Nazis. Could the holocaust be repeated? I'm afraid so. Anti-Semitism is at the highest levels since the late 1930’s. This is coming from the influx of Muslim immigrants to Europe, the United States, and other Western countries over the past few decades, and they are bringing their hatred of Jews--and Christians--with them. This is a poison. Muslims have been on TV in Europe spouting “Hitler should have finished the job!” Have we learned anything from history?
