Why didn't God save them?
Those who were beheaded, were unrighteously killed [i.e. they were murdered].
Yet, those who were beheaded and killed, are at peace now.
Our flesh is a very 'little' thing.
Our flesh does little more, than 1/ enable us to act our will
in the world,
and, 2/ enable us to observe the occurrences,
in the world around us [in those places where our physical 'host' traverses].
Why didn't God save them?Because God was hoping that he would witness people like you condemning the murder [the unlawful killing] of innocents.
Did you ?
In 'the world' their deaths, was a 'headline'.
But did any of
"the great men of the earth" condemn their murder ?
....or did any of
"the great men of the earth" seek to immediately punish the wrongdoers ?
KJV1 Chronicles 28:9
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind:
for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts:
if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
We ought to know, that 1 Chronicles 28:9 is addressed to.....not only David's son Solomon.

John 16:3
And these things will they do unto you,
because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Revelation 12:17
....the dragon was wroth with the woman......
which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Q.Why was SATAN
angry, with them "which keep the commandments of God" ?
Revelation 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Acts 7:52
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

NOTHING HERE FOR THE ATHEIST.
