Therefore let us also, seeing we are surounded about with so great a cloud of witnesses,  who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,  quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance;  and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, and bonds and imprisonment:  they were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated  (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.

We literally stand on the blood of those who have gone before us.  Because of the 70 million Christians killed for their faith in 220 countries across 20 centuries.

That’s 70 million people or almost 96 people a day for the last 2000 years.
Martyrs since 1950: 13,300,000

Average annual martyrs since 1950: 278,000
