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).
“We have so devalued human life in our society that for many people it is a small thing to kill another person.”
-Jim Bakker in “Prosperity and the Coming Apocalypse”
Nigerian military forces have thwarted a plot to launch what they term “massive attacks” by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram while in another part of the nation stopping an illegal shipment of arms from Russia.
The attacks were planned to occur during a Muslim celebration called “Sallah” which falls on October 25 and 26 this year.
The group is reportedly seeking foreign fighters to help them carry out assaults against both military and civilian targets according to military officials.
Most of the violence from the terrorist group is focused in the Borno state where the group has been based during most of their existence.
“The terrorists have invited foreign mercenaries to assist them in the anticipated attacks,” Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa told the press. “We know where they are coming from but we don’t want to disclose that because we don’t want to pre-empt our security arrangement to tackle them.”
The Nigerian navy stopped a boat in Lagos containing a large cache of Russian munitions and manned by a Russian crew. While according to officials the ship has the paperwork to carry the weapons, they were still conducting an investigation as to why the ship had to stop in Lagos to “change crew.”
