Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
The United Nations is calling out the terrorist group ISIS for the killing of hundreds of children in their campaign of terror across Iraq and Syria.
The UN’s Envoy on Children testified Monday that many children were simply executed on the spot by the terrorists.
“Up to 700 children have been killed or maimed in Iraq since the beginning of the year, including in summary executions,” Leila Zerrougui told the UN Security Council. She added that in addition to the children who have been killed by the group, they are also forcing children as young as 13 to be soldiers.
“Other children are used as suicide bombers,” Zarrougui said.
Zarrougui was not the only UN official condemning the terrorist outfit on Monday. The new head of the UN’s Commission on Human Rights called out the group while speaking in Geneva.
Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said that ISIS is creating a “house of blood” in the areas under their control.
The UN has committed to making sure there are no child soldiers anywhere in the world by the end of 2016.
