According to tradition, some of the well-known prophets died quite brutal deaths:

1. Isaiah - he was cut in two by a wooden saw by the hands of the wicked Manasseh

2. Jeremiah - he was stoned by the children of Israel and slain

3. Ezekiel - the children of Israel dragged him by his feet over the rocks on a mountain until his brains gushed out.

This is only tradition. But isn't it interesting that these bold, fearless, and faithful men of God were tortured in such great ways? And should we expect an easy life as faithful preachers of God's Word? I don't think so.
