RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia on Sunday beheaded two foreign nationals on charges they smuggled heroin and cocaine into the country, the Interior Ministry said.
“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.”
—Rev 20:4
Adam bin Mohammed Ali Hussein, of Nigeria, was convicted of swallowing lumps of cocaine in plastic bags and smuggling them into Saudi Arabia, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.
Mahmoud Haji Shadi, an Afghan, was convicted of smuggling heroin.
Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which people convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery can be executed.
Their execution in the capital brought to 18 the number of people beheaded in the kingdom this year. Saudi executions are performed with a sword and in public as a deterrent.
The kingdom beheaded 83 people in 2005 and 35 people in 2004.

Good, this shows others what will happen to them when they break the law; does it make any difference if the individual is a drug smuggler, killer, rapest, …. come on throw that first stone, after all should we not want to chose to follow the law of God?
Take a look at the USA how many jails and prisons would we have if the people in this country followed the same example as other strickter countries? Or do we chose to live in “Sin” and pay a large portion of taxes towards individuals that have no remorse or any desier to change and are put into prison for … years?

In Revelation, people are beheaded for not taking the anti-christ’s Image (image here equals “thought process,” which is that he–the anti-christ– is God). When the Lord Jesus asked His desciples “Whom do men say that I Am,” He was getting at “what is your/their image of Me.” The Mark is taken by those who claim allegiance to the anti-christ’s image/thought process. Therefore, I believe this article is out of context with the Scripture posted with it.
