Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
In the midst of the horror of ISIS in Iraq, one unidentified Iraqi man is using his wealth to try and make a difference for good.
The man is reportedly using stand-ins to purchase sex slaves from the terrorist group and then reuniting the women with their families in other parts of Iraq.
The terrorist group has been funding part of their campaign of terror through selling captured women as sex slaves or as brides in forced marriages. The women are usually killed if they refuse or try to escape.
Critics within Iraq and in activist groups around the world against ISIS have been slamming the man for giving money to the terrorist group but he told a reporter working for YouTube channel StreamDZ that all he cared about was freeing the women and returning them to their families.
One of the former slaves who has been freed told the story of a girl named Jilan who had been one of several that committed suicide after capture rather than endure the horrors subjected to them through ISIS.
“We were 21 girls in one room, two of them were very young, 10 to 12 years. One day they were given clothes that looked like dance costumes and were told to bathe and wear those clothes. Jilan killed herself in the bathroom,” the woman said. “She cut her wrists and hanged herself. She was beautiful. I think she knew that she was going to be taken away to a man and that is why she killed herself.”
Wonderful! In the midst of all the horrible things ISIS is doing, this is such great news! But I do wonder if some times it’s better not to report things like this because it could get back to ISIS. I love hearing the good news that develops for a change, but I do pray this information does not get back to them. I’ve asked the Lord to cloak this from them.
I can’t imagine anything more terrible or disgusting. We live in the day that their every thought is evil continually as the Bible foretold. To think that sex trafficking goes on in this nation as well. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
