Sad to say that beheadings are nothing new. Look back at the more famous beheadings mentioned in the Bible: Ish-boshet, Goliath, Dagon the idol, John the Baptist, and James the brother of John. The apostle Paul was very likely beheaded. More recent history has the French with their guillotines; the Japanese of WW2 with their swords, and nowadays, the recent beheadings by ISIS militants.
What should worry us is the prophetic Bible verse below

| Leonard George (Len) Siffleet (14 January 1916 – 24 October 1943) was an Australian commando of World War II. He became a prisoner of war of the Japanese, and was beheaded. Pic: wikipedia |
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)
Per the verse above, there will be MORE
BEHEADINGS TO COME! It will be a cause of death for many who love the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus, I would not be surprised if it continues to grow in popularity today as a favored form of execution. Connect the dots here, folks. Trouble for people, particularly Believers in Christ, will not abate as the return of the Lord Jesus Christ draws near. Beware. Take a wild guess as to the identity of the perps. Hint, hint.
