​
1-21-20, Christian Post -- Islam terrorists in Nigeria, Boko Haram beheaded Rev. Lawan Andimi, the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria’s chapter in the Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State. In a ransom video Pastor Andimi said: "

“By the grace of God, I will be together with my wife and my children and all my colleagues. If the opportunity has not been granted, maybe it is the will of God.”

A source told Save the Persecuted Christians: “They slaughtered him in Sambisa forest because he refused to renounce his faith. And because they couldn’t raise the money for his ransom.” 

There has been an increase in Christian kidnappings and violence carried about by both Islamic groups, Boko Haram and ISWAP. Stephen Enada, the director of the Intl Comm on Nigeria and a co-partner with Save the Persecuted Christians said: “Like Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria before it, an unstable Nigeria is becoming the new breeding ground for Islamist terrorists.” According to Open Doors USA’s 2020 World Watch List, Nigeria ranks as the 12th-worst country in the world when it comes to Christian persecution. One in six Islamic African Christians now experience high levels of persecution for their faith. More here

Beast: Mark on Hand and Forehead
The understanding and translation of mark on the hand also includes the entire arm.

The Apostle John's vision: "​I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, [732 AD Charles Martell] and did live. 15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads."
Revelation 13:11-16

The Muslim Beast is Alive Again
"And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed:
and all the world wondered after the beast." Revelation 13:3

In 732 AD France Charles Martel Defeated the Hordes of Islam
By 732 AD in northeastern France in October of 732 AD Commander Charles Martel of the Franks, and likely equal in number to the Muslim army fought General Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, who commanded the Umayyad army that had a large amount of cavalry. Charles’ force was well trained and fought with the equipment and close order style that echoed the hoplite formations of the ancient Greeks. He occupied an elevated position and used the trees and rough terrain in front of his infantry to protect them from cavalry charges. Reinforcements arrived for the Muslims, but Charles had arguably better reinforcements. Many of his veterans, who had personally fought under him came in huge numbers. These professional fighting men would have been amongst the best and most experienced in all Europe. Their arrival meant that the main battle was at hand after a week of skirmishing. [..skip]

The Muslims were defeated and the survivors retreated to their camp in the middle of the night, carrying mostly their prized loot. The next morning, Charles was deeply concerned that his enemies were setting up an ambush.
After extensive scouting, it was discovered that the Muslim enemy had fled; forced to withdraw back into Spain. Charles was granted the nickname of Charles “the Hammer” for crushing his enemies and both he and Odo, who had won the first great victory and served at Tours, would be considered heroes of Christianity killing off the beast of hordes of Muslims as they tried to invade Europe.
