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).
Survivors of the ongoing siege at an upscale mall in Kenya are describing moments of confusion and utter terror — including a woman who hid under mattresses in a store and an African journalist who watched a pregnant friend die.
Extended gunfire and at least seven large explosions resounded from the mall, in the capital city of Nairobi, on Monday as Kenyan security forces struggled to take control on the third day of the attack.
At least 62 people were dead, according to the Kenyan Red Cross. By midnight Kenya time, the government said that it was in control of the mall, but no details were provided, and smoke rose from the complex well into the evening. It was not clear how many hostages, if any, were still inside, nor how many attackers.
As the standoff wore on, stories of the survivors began to emerge.
