Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
A jihadist held a group of Sydney, Australia residents hostage for 16 hours before police stormed the building and freed them.
The raid took place just before 2:30 a.m. local time at the Lindt Chocolate Café. A terrorist named Man Haron Monis, an Iranian who had sent hate mail to the families of fallen soldiers, has been identified as the jihadist.
The terrorist and at least one other person are dead. Paramedics took four hostages from the café and sources say that three are in critical condition.
The gunman had forced the hostages to stand in front of the store’s windows with their hands pressed against them. A few hours into the incident he placed a jihadist flag in the café window.
Australia’s Network Ten reported that Monis was armed with a shotgun and a machete. He demanded to speak directly to Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
Monis emigrated to Australia in 1996 and was known for his extremist views.
Prayers for families and survivors. The heroic act of the manager should be applauded. He saved many. Wake up! This is the spirit of the anti-Christ. Be aware and be prepared.
Like I said, if they ever take me, just come in blasting. They’ll get tired of it after a while, when they don’t get anything out of it. I’ll be walking on streets of gold without a care in the world. Do I have a death wish? Yes! I have a death wish! I would like to share it with the world, and get them out of all their depression and their deception, because my death wish is unto life everlasting. It comes from being born again! I’m already as dead as I’m ever going to be! I’ve already died, and my life is hidden with Christ in heavenly places! And the life that I now live in the flesh, I live through the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me! He is raised from the dead, seated in heavenly places, ever living to make intercession for me. Hallelujah! O Hallelujah!
