In a dark, hot pit filled with jagged stones and gray shadows, evil spirits slowly gathered.

00:12

They came to hear three demons speak of their battles against God and His people. Finally, when the time was right, one demon that resembled a dog with wet, leathery skin raised its carcass upon clawed feet, moved forward, and in a gurgling, low voice brought forth his proclamation.

00:30

I caused the death of a Christian this week. He died slowly, in great pain, and his witness is no more.

00:39

Upon hearing the good news, a demonic horde erupted in loud, growling excitement. The first demon, satisfied, raised its head proudly before returning to the throng.

00:50

Then the second demon moved forward. It had two twisted horns that erupted out of its head and pointed upwards and backwards.

00:59

The scales on its body faintly reflected distant firelight. It stopped, turned, and glared menacingly at the assembly until the pit finally grew quiet.

01:09

Then, in a mocking voice, it said, The death of the saved is most to be sought, but saved he be, and here he is not.

01:20

The first demon returned a hate -filled stare through glowing red eyes, then snorted a grotesque breath.

01:27

The second demon bore a fanged smile, and in a craggy voice said, A family of four believers this week did die by a dark servant, a drunkard in a car.

01:38

They laid in agony upon the road. The cold rain drowned their tears, and with great pain they each slowly passed to the enemy.

01:48

To our Master's delight, their witness is no more. The demon horde erupted again, but in greater and more violent growls than before.

01:57

Then, when the noise finally died once again, the second stepped down, proudly dragging its tail and legs behind, filling the pit with the sound of scraping flesh.

02:07

Finally, the third demon rose and took the place of boasting. It did not look as hideous as the other two, nor did it move with self -exalting pride.

02:17

Instead, it smiled slightly, looked out through its narrow, cunning eyes, and calmly said,

02:25

Death has not come to the believer I have killed. His heart is cold, and he has little room for the love of our enemy.

02:33

He is known for belief in the One, yet in small things of darkness he partakes.

02:39

By word and deed he defames the name of God. His poor witness will continue for many to see.
