Hi,
The truth is, a believer must have his own self life put to death, and after that, other men will try to kill him.
This is the full gospel which many prefer to avoid by saying the death of Christ alone is sufficient that a believer will be in the first resurrection.
Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Christ overcame in one regard before His baptism by John and His entry into His ministry.
It was then that men wanted to kill Him in earnest. (apart from at His birth)
Whether the Lord keeps His saints alive in spite of men, that is up to Him, but the saint rests and is happy with whatever the Lord plans for him/her.
Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Rev 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
