Christian warns Iran of God's judgment before his execution
An Iranian Christian recorded a video before his execution, declaring that he is not afraid of his impending death. The man identified as Ali Asadi warned corrupt Iranian leaders who execute people to fear the judgment of God.
His video was posted on Facebook and shared by American-Iranian pastor Saeed Abedini. Two men appeared to be saying their farewells to the other inmates. One of the prisoners was heard crying in the background.
According to Abedini, Asadi was executed last week in Rajaeeshahr Prison. The pastor indicated that it was the same prison where he was incarcerated for more than two years.
"We rejoice with him because we know he is with [the] Lord Jesus Christ today and we know [the] Lord will punish evils but we pray that [the] Lord [will] forgive them and save them from their evil ways," Abedini wrote.
He continued, "Ali's testimony who turned to Christ in prison, is amazing! His body is dead today but his testimony is ALIVE! He is with [the] King now and He has been receiving his crown of Glory from [the] King of Kings and [the] Lord of Lords!"
Abedini shared another message containing a conversation that occurred between Asadi and his brother Mohsen a day before the execution. In their conversation, Asadi told his brother that he asked the other prisoners to get to know Jesus and urged them to read the Bible.
Abedini mentioned that he will be speaking at the United Nation's headquarters in New York about the executions in Iran on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
The Iranian regime is continuing its crackdown on Christians. Last month, five Christian men were arrested during a picnic. One of the men who asked for the police for an arrest warrant was allegedly beaten by an official.
