Fr. Jacques Hamel ordered “Begone, Satan!” as his killers attacked.
Watching the beautiful response of the French, both Christian and Muslim, to this heroic priest, I’m beginning to think ISIS may have unleashed a very powerful intercessor against themselves in the heavenly host.

And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. ¶ Rejoice then, O heaven and you that dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!” (Re 12:10–12).
