Wonders
shall never end, they say. This rightly applies to the story of a young
man who narrated his story while on his way to persecute some
Christians in the Middle East.
The
story which is from a Christian evangelisation group is based on the
account of Haroon and Rizwan whom the report claims are witnesses to the
incident where Jesus stops some Islamist militants from killing some
Christians.
According to Bibles for Mideast, Haroon while narrating the incident said:
"I am Haroon (name not real),
an young Arab, born and brought up in a prominent Muslim family of the
Middle East. My father was one of the top religious authorities,
enforces Sharia law in respect to religious behavior in the state. I am a
trained sharp shooter. And I was commanding a militant wing to protect
the religion and taking immediate operations against its enemies.
"Few
weeks ago, an early in the dawn, I got the information that a Christian
group is going to have a baptism service in the Arabian sea. I picked
up militants and rushed to the seashore. We were 19 members in our wing
for the operation. Our ultimate aim was to kill everybody in the sea
itself during the service and we wanted the world would get up with
hearing this breaking news. So that Christians must fear Muslims and
stop evangelizing them from our region.
"But
the baptism service was over and the baptizers began to move the place
in a bus before we reached at the seashore. We followed and shoot the
bus several times.
"Within
seconds, a giant dust storm formed in front of our vehicles and we were
unable to move forward. We all got down from our cars and continue
shooting through the dust storm.
"Suddenly
we saw Christ Jesus appeared in the dust storm. He was angry and his
eyes were like blazing fire. With a mighty voice he told us, “Why are
you persecuting me.
"Oh, it was
a terrible experience! His voice produced a strong wind and we all
fell down on the road. Our guns flew away from us. Somehow we stood up
from the road, but we were unable to talk anything. Our voice was lost.
"Jesus said again, “I came to the world not to destroy anyone; but to save you. Go in peace.”
"He disappeared. The dust storm also disappeared with him."
"We experienced both terrible fear and an abundant peace at a time. We never had such experience in our life before."
"We
got our voice back. We praise and thank God, except two of us. Those
two said, it’s not from God. We had a quarrel between us but they argued
with some quotes. And we left the place with confusion."
"I
shared about it to my father. He warned me not to tell others. But
after this incident, our wing became silent from militant activities."
Reacting to the story, Rizwan, one of the newly baptized believers who spoke on his experience during the baptism ceremony said:
“We
kept secret about our baptism service. But we don’t know how it was
leaked to the militants. Maybe it was the militants’ plan to kill us in
the sea during the baptism service. But somehow we finished our service
earlier and tried to return back.”
According
to him, on their way back, three or more cars suddenly caught up behind
their bus. They suspected them to be militants and the driver tried go
faster but couldn’t. He said they all cried out to God for protection.
And suddenly something miraculous occurred.
“Suddenly we saw a giant dust
storm formed behind our bus,” Rizwan recounted. “At first we all afraid
of seeing the dust storm. We thought we may not be able to go beyond and
will be held by the militants.”
He added that to their surprise, the dust storm instead concealed them from the militants.
Meanwhile,
a 25-year-old lady, Antonieta Robles Saouda, has been arrested in
Venezuela, after she tried sneaking her boyfriend, Ibrain Jose Vargas
Garcia, out of jail in a pink suitcase.
However,
she succeeded in stuffing him into the suitcase but unfortunately for
her she did not have the strength to wheel him out of the prison.
