Hebr 11:35-40 (ESV) Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking, flogging, & even chains & imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep & goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts, mountains, in dens & caves of the earth. & all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us. — There are some scriptures that kinda blow you away! This is that kind! But the key is at the end! No matter what we can count on God for His promises or something better! Love Mel
