Men wielding swords and guns attacked a Salvation Army outpost in Indonesia killing four Christian members, beheading one victim, and burned down homes, including one used for prayers.

Indonesia, the world’s biggest Muslim-majority nation, has a history of terror attacks and intolerance against Indonesia’s Christian minority has been rising.

The Salvation Army confirmed the killing of its members in a “savage attack” in a statement. It said, “our hearts go out to our people who have been victims of evil, and to the families of those whose faith have caused such harm.”

A spokesperson for the Communion of Churches in Indonesia, a key Christian body, urged Christians to remain calm and not to view the attack as a conflict of religion.

The Indonesian President Joko Widodo condemned the brutal murders as being “beyond the limits of humanity”, as the military chief prepared to deploy special forces to join the hunt for the killers.

The Indonesian military deployed the special force to join police in the hunt for the attackers who authorities suspect come from the East Indonesian Mujahideen (MIT).

The MIT is one of dozens of groups across Indonesia that have pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State (IS). One of the victims was beheaded and the other three had their throats slit, with their homes and place of worship set ablaze according to national police.

The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Revelation 6) foretell that growing hatred and the sword of conflict where people kill one another will be signs of the Last Days indicating the nearing end of this age.

These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
