There are at least sixty Christians in Northern India that will be burned to death if they refuse to return to Hinduism according to a threat issued by a group of radical Hindus who recently severely beat the group's pastor after accusing him of forcibly converting Hindus.
The radical group, the World Hindu Council has been blamed for waves of attacks against Christians and other religious minorities since the rise of the Hindu Nationalist Party in the late 1990's. The attackers forced the pastor to sign a document stating his willingness to participate in a ceremony in which all Christians would convert back to Hinduism or be burned to death.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A threat to burn Christians to death who refuse to denounce their faith is a foretaste of things to come in the last days according to Bible prophecy. In Northern India local police have refuse to deal with a threat to a pastor and his church members from a radical Hindu group who say they will burn the Christians to death if they do not reconvert to Hinduism.
The pastor, spiritual leader of almost sixty recent converts to Christianity from Hinduism, says that these church members converted to Christianity of their own free will; that contradicts the claims of a radical Hindu group who that says these Hindus have been forced to convert to Christianity. The radical Hindus say the Christians must convert back to Hinduism or be burned to death.
This report must remind the world that those who have embraced Christianity are and will be in the future under threat of their lives for their faith. Prophetic passages in the Bible have many predictions of the martyrdom of believers up to and during the seven year Tribulation Period of the future.
Revelation 6:9-11 speaks of believers having their lives taken from them for their faith. Revelation 20:4 also reveals this coming martyrdom to believers as well. Many believers will die of starvation during the time of judgment because they refuse the mark of the Antichrist, which means they cannot buy needed food.
The threat from these radical Hindus to burn Christians to death for converting to Christianity is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
