THE APPEARANCE OF JESUS CHRIST AT THE SLAUGHTER OF COPTIC ORTHODOX CHRITIANS

THE APPEARANCE OF JESUS CHRIST AT THE SLAUGHTER OF COPTIC

ORTHODOX CHRITIANS

        This miracle happened during the most recent attack against Christians in Egypt on their way to visit a Monastery.

        A woman describes on a video what the terrorists did on the bus.  They first killed this woman’s husband and other members of her family.  They then tried to take the child Minas by force who was on his mother’s lap.  In the midst of these sudden and horrible attacks, there appeared a man before this woman who is narrating the story.  She says He was a tall man with a beautiful face and striking green eyes.  His countenance could not escape the woman’s attention. While all the terrorist’s faces were covered over, his was not.  This man grabbed the woman by the hand and said in a very firm voice: “Do not be afraid, the terrorists will soon leave.  Do not allow them to take your son from your grasp because they will surely kill him. When the terrorists ask for your jewelry, give it to them without hesitation.”

        This man suddenly turned to the terrorist who was trying to pull Minas from his mother’s grasp. He said to the terrorist: “let go of the child” and he immediately released the child.

        After more terrorists entered the bus they demanded the jewelry from Minas’ mother.  She gave them all her jewelry and they left.  Following this horrible event the woman stayed in the hospital for a number of days.   While still in the hospital she was informed of a vision an elderly woman had in a distant village of Egypt.  The mother of Minas at this point had not told anyone what happened on the bus with the terrorists.

        This older lady had gone to a Church to pray on the very day of the attack on the Christians.  She was praying in front of an icon of Jesus.  While praying she fell asleep and this is when she had the vision of what took place on the bus where the Christians were slaughtered.  In this vision she witnessed the whole scene of the attack and in the midst of this chaos she saw the Lord Jesus Christ.  She watched Him as He personally lifted up the souls to heaven of the slaughtered new martyrs.  She also witnessed Jesus saving the son of the woman.  All of this took place without one knowing the other and while being separated by long distances.  Hearing this revelation of the old woman, Minas’ mother remembered the man who spoke to her and saved her son.
