MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

If we thought these were the sort of headlines to be expected only after a pre-trib rapture of the Church, it’s high-time to rethink what we thought we knew …

Revelation 20:4, “… And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands …”

70 Christians Taken To Church For Mass Beheading – “Seventy Christians have been found beheaded in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo … at around 4am last Thursday (13 February) suspected militants from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – a group with ties to so-called Islamic State (IS) – approached homes in Mayba in the territory of Lubero, saying: ‘Get out, get out and don’t make any noise.’ Twenty Christian men and women came out and were captured… ADF militants surrounded the village and captured a further 50 believers… Many Christians have now fled the area for their safety… ‘This was not just an act of terror. It was a targeted massacre of Christians, and it will not stop here,’ says Illia Djadi, Senior Analyst for Freedom of Religion or Belief in sub-Saharan Africa for Open Doors. ”The ADF is part of a growing extremist network that wants to wipe out Christianity in the region. If nothing is done, more attacks will follow.'” Read more.

Ignored And Forgotten: The Unspoken Genocide Of Christians In Africa – “The brutality being inflicted on Christians across Africa and the Middle East is beyond comprehension — and yet, the silence from the international community is not just passive; it is complicit, shameful, and unforgivable. In Nigeria alone, more than 62,000 Christians have been mercilessly slaughtered in the past decades by groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP. Entire villages are wiped off the map, churches turned to ash, and families left broken and buried… 70 Christians beheaded in a church in the DRC is the latest horrifying reminder of the escalating violence… But this act of savagery was preceded by another shocking wave of killings: another report, at least 89 Christians were slaughtered by the Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) in north-eastern DRC, including the brutal massacre of 28 people in just one day on 2 February … In a horrifying incident in March 2024, extremist groups in northern Nigeria kidnapped approximately 687 people, including women and children. This mass kidnapping underscores the escalating threat to Christian communities in the region … In the first half of 2024, the Islamic State (ISIS) intensified its persecution of African Christians, resulting in the deaths of 698 individuals across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mozambique, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Mali.” Read more.

Revelation 13:15, “And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.”

Sudan’s RSF Kills Hundreds of Civilians, Announces Parallel Government – “In what may be its largest act of violence since 2023, Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces militia is reported to have murdered 433 people, including infants, in the southeast Sudanese state of White Nile… Even as news of the attacks spread in the news and on local social media channels, key RSF leadership gathered in nearby Nairobi, Kenya, for a lavish event announcing the formation of a nascent breakaway government designed to challenge the authority of its main rival, the Sudanese Armed Forces. The current conflict, born out of fighting between the Sudanese military and the RSF, has led to one the largest humanitarian crises in the world since igniting in 2023… According to reports, 165 churches have had to close since the war started in 2023. Some churches are used as bases for military operations in the war, with people sheltering there forced out or even killed to make way for soldiers. Members of the clergy have been targeted, with soldiers shooting or stabbing priests and others during their raids. The well-equipped SAF often bombs churches, indiscriminately injuring or killing those sheltering inside, including women and children.” Read more.

Morocco Foils Attacks By Cell Loyal To Islamic State – “Morocco’s counterterrorism agency said on Monday it had foiled attacks against national and international targets in the country by a 12-member cell loyal to Islamic State in the Sahel. The operation underscores the threat emanating from jihadist militancy in the Sahel, as groups linked to Islamic State and al Qaeda expand activity in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. The suspects, arrested in nine different cities, had been receiving orders from a Libyan leader of Islamic State … The suspects, aged 18 to 40, have been radicalised online, Cherkaoui said, adding that most of them had ‘occasional jobs’. The group, which branded itself ‘the Lions of the Caliphate in the Maghreb Al Aqsa (Morocco)’, was planning remotely controlled bomb attacks, he said.” Read more.

Jihadists Intensify Attacks In West African Sahel – “The Sahel is grappling with unprecedented violence, as Al-Qaeda and Islamic State-linked jihadist groups intensify their attacks on civilians and military forces across Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, and Chad. The region witnessed a surge in terrorist attacks in 2024 with a monthly average of 4.4 attacks, up from 3.9 in 2023, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED) institution. Jihadist attacks have left a trail of devastation across West Africa, particularly in Mali, Benin, Chad, and Nigeria. The atrocities committed by these groups are staggering. In September 2024, Al-Qaeda militants killed up to 100 people at an international airport complex in Bamako, Mali. The same month, around 600 civilians were machine-gunned in a few hours in Barsalgho, Burkina Faso. A disturbing video from Mali circulated on social media in July 2024, showing a man in a military uniform mutilating a corpse. These incidents underscore the brutality and impunity in this war.” Read more.
