Just days after Christian conservative advocate Charlie Kirk was assassinated in the United States for proclaiming biblical truths that some found objectionable, Ashur Sarnaya, a 45-year-old Chaldean Catholic from Iraq, was murdered in Lyon, France. Disabled and confined to a wheelchair, Sarnaya was stabbed in the throat outside his apartment on September 10, 2025, while livestreaming on TikTok about his faith. Originally from Ankawa in Iraqi Kurdistan, one of the largest Christian towns in the Middle East, Sarnaya fled persecution by the Islamic State and resettled in Lyon about a decade ago. He had legal status in France and was well known for his deep devotion to his Catholic faith. Using the TikTok account “Ashur Love,” he regularly posted prayers, hymns, and reflections in Arabic. His final livestream turned into a harrowing recording of his death. Sarnaya’s murder has also fueled political debate and broader fears about anti-Christian violence in France. ...Many argue that his public witness as a Christian directly led to his killing. Right-wing politician Marine Le Pen blamed Islamist extremism and France’s “unlimited and uncontrolled immigration policy,” warning that the country was now welcoming both persecuted Christians and their potential executioners. According to Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List, more than 380 million Christians, about 1 in 7 worldwide, face high levels of persecution and discrimination... Members of the crowd at Charlie Kirk’s memorial can be seen standing up as a show that they are accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior — an incredible moment that occurred during remarks from his pastor, Rob McCoy. “You see, the wages of sin is death. Charlie knew this, and at an early age, he entrusted his life to the Savior of the world. Jesus came to this earth, was tempted in all ways, yet was without sin,” McCoy said, telling the crowd Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, that Jesus poured out his blood for us for the remission of sins and is available to all who receive Jesus as their Savior. “In the time I have remaining, I’m going to ask all who profess Christ as their Savior to remain seated. The Bible says, if you profess me before man, I’ll profess you before my Father in heaven. It requires an act of faith. You stand. That’s what Charlie did every day on campus with death threats,” he continued, noting that Kirk “stood because he knew in whom he had trusted.” Everything Kirk did was to showcase the love and power of Jesus, he said. McCoy then asked anyone in the room who had not received Jesus as their savior to stand up and receive Him as their Lord and Savior. Video shows many people in the auditorium taking a stand, accepting Jesus as their Savior as the crowd roared with applause. “The Bible says that when one sinner gives their heart to the Lord, the angels in heaven rejoice. And I got to tell you, there’s one up there right now,” he said, adding that Kirk is “stoked, and he’s excited about your commitment to his Savior.” McCoy also asked believers to stand and pray with those who just accepted Jesus. He also provided a QR code for the newly saved in Jesus and said, “We are going to give you everything you need to walk this walk with Christ.” Five Doves, Fay (21 Sep 2025) Hi John and Doves, This ancient Egyptian papyrus confirms the Bible story about the state of Egypt due to the 10 plagues. This article is further proof that Almighty God is signalling all humans. For this to be published in mainstream media which reaches millions, is indicative of the end-times we are living in. Praise God. Mysterious ancient papyrus 'confirms' Bible story of the 10 plagues | Daily Mail Online [my excerpts:] An ancient Egyptian manuscript may prove the biblical 10 plagues described in the Book of Exodus. Known as the Ipuwer Papyrus, the document takes the form of a poetic lament attributed to a scribe named Ipuwer. It recounts widespread catastrophes and societal upheaval in ancient Egypt, describing famine, mass death and environmental disasters. According to Exodus, God sent a series of devastating afflictions, including turning the Nile to blood, swarms of locusts and three days of darkness, to convince the Pharaoh to free the Israelites from slavery. The Ipuwer Papyrus appears to describe many of these same events, as one line reads, 'There's blood everywhere…Lo, the River is blood,' mirroring the Nile turning to blood in the Bible. The papyrus also describes environmental devastation: 'Lo, trees are felled, branches stripped,' likely reflecting the hailstorm that destroyed crops, and 'Lo, grain is lacking on all sides,' illustrating widespread famine. Biblical historian Michael Lane said in a recent study: 'No conclusive evidence exists to pinpoint the exact date of its composition, but because of its written style, it appears to have been written by an eyewitness. A large number of scholars place it around the time of the biblical date of 1440BC.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15101333/ancient-papyrus-confirms-Bible.html Maybe try the links in the Gateway Pundit article: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/watch-charlie-kirk-memorial-live-join-mourners-across/ I am watching Charlie Kirk's memorial.
