‎I've heard family members who aren't saved say something along these lines when in a moment of emotional upset. I'm not in any way criticizing or minimizing their emotional state at that time, just stating a fact. But it did prompt me to research regarding the issue. In Rev.9:6 it says, ".. but to torment for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man. And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them." I've always read it thinking that they seriously took action that would result in suicide but were by God kept from being successful.. but today I saw it differently. See what you think about this. I now see the possibility that they are at the point that Job was, 6:9 "I wish he would crush me. I wish he would reach out his hand and kill me." * Jonah 4:3 "And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live." * the person was, in 1 kings 19:4 "..while he himself traveled on a day's journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, LORD," he said. "Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers". * the person in Numbers was, 11:15 "If this is how You are going to treat me, please kill me right now--if I have found favor in Your eyes--and let me not see my own wretchedness."

Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Predator. "just kill me now!" ------------------------------ If you'd like to post your comments .. I will not disagree with you at all.
