🇮🇱 … another awful, detestable, despicable, deplorable Israeli official!! — Ben Gvir …

By: Sawssane F. Consultant Manager Organization, from LinkedIn …

“The execution of a number of arrested Palestinians, is the request that made the Israeli occupation's security minister Itamar Ben Gvir, as a solution to the overcrowded Israeli prisons and “the incarceration problem".

The type of statement that the US and other western governments seem to not be offended by while continuing to provide their political, financial and military support to the colonial regime.

Palestinians arrested for resisting a terror occupation and fighting for their dignity and independence are certainly not the ones to be labeled as "terrorists". … 🇮🇱

On June 26th 1574, Gabriel de Lorges was beheaded in Paris for treason.

A wee tenuous one this but it has a couple of links to Scotland so it's enough to make a post about him.

Gabriel, by the time of his death was known as the Comte de Montgomery. Born in Ducey, France, the son of Jacques, Duke of Montgomery, a Scottish nobleman with a sound career supporting the kings of France. (first Scottish link)

By 1559 Gabriel was Captain of the Garde Écossaise, the Scots Guard an elite Scottish military unit tasked as bodyguards of the French monarchy when he killed King Henry II in a jousting accident, Gabriel’s shattered lance somehow found a chink in the king’s visor, managing to strike the King just under his eye, after a week in agony Henry died of his wound. Henry's heir was a young fragile royal, Fransois who became King at just 15, his wife was a young Scots lassie called Mary Stuart (second Scottish link, I did say it was tenuous). Francois died a year later.

Meanwhile Gabriel, although Henry forgave him on his deathbed, could not cope with his "crime" and resigned his commission, throwing himself into a life of religious study, this soon converted him to the Protestant party and he took up arms against the Catholic authorities of France in a movement called The Huguenots, I'm totally out of my depth here so wont go into the history of this and will just concentrate on our erstwhile "Scot" who became a more than able commander of the Protestant faction, to the point that in an infamous event in Paris in 1572, The St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in which during a truce, Catholics began assassinating the Huguenot's hierarchy, lasting several weeks, the massacre expanded outward to other urban centres and the countryside. Modern estimates for the number of dead across France vary widely, from 5,000 to 30,000. Though Montgomery was a specific target for assassination that day, he somehow managed to escape. He gave the Catholics fits for the two years left him, enough that the crown tried to buy him off. (Like most Protestants, he was distrustfully defiant after the horrors of St. Bartholomew’s Day.)

While mounting an insurrection in Normandy, he was finally captured, he was dispatched to Paris, tortured, put on trial and sentenced to death.

Onthis day 1574, as he was about to be beheaded, Montgomery was informed that a royal edict had proclaimed that his property would be confiscated and his children deprived of their titles. In true martyrdom style Gabriel is said to have shouted “tell my children, if they are not able to reclaim their position, I curse them from the grave!”

And then they cut off his head.

If you want to know the complete story there is a great account to be found on the link here

God’s plan to deal with evil

God’s plan to deal with evil is prepared for in creation but executed in redemption. Satan and his forces are already defeated foes with Christ’s first coming as Savior,

Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that through death He might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. [Hebrews 2:14-15]

And all evil and human sin will forever be vanquished at Christ’s second coming as Judge and King.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”

And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He *said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give water to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life, without cost. The one who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, full of the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very valuable stone, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper. It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on the gates, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length, width, and height are equal. And he measured its wall, 144 cubits, by human measurements, which are also angelic measurements. The material of the wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundation stones of the city wall were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. [Revelation 21]
