Anonymity is used in its highest sense here. When God records the record of his persecuted people. The world does not think them important but God knows them and commends them.
Hebrews 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Can anyone blame Gary Hoy for being frightened? I have no doubt the “authorities” would murder him and Richard Kerr if they thought they could get away with it.
After all he did such a grand job on the Northern Bank investigation?
Micah 7:3
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
Within the last few weeks I have had cause to remember a poem I read many, many years ago. A book I read told of some character in the USA who had been shot dead and the poem was found in his pocket.
The version from the book is below.
“The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
NOW is the only time you have,
So live, love, toil at will,
Place no faith in “TIME,”
For the Clock may soon be still.”
This was long before the internet was ever thought of so it was impossible to find out who had originally written this poem. Nowadays with the internet it is possible to locate the source and when you do you find there is a longer version of the poem. The whole thing is below.
“The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one’s health is more,
To lose one’s soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.
NOW is the only time you have,
So live, love, toil at will,
Place no faith in “TIME,”
For the Clock may soon be still.” By Robert H Smith
The reason I had cause to remember this was due to the fact of a number of high-profile chess players loosing games due to running out of time.
Poor Magnus Carlsen was one.

Poor Tania Sachdev was another. That is her in the video.
The Devil has a good understanding of time you know? He knows when his time is up, so he tries to do the utmost damage in the limited time he has left.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
2 Samuel 17:23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
