Vegas Horror Show: Mass Shooting at Mandalay Bay Hotel; 50+ Dead, 406 Sent to Hospital - breitbart.com

 Excerpt from this article:

"Update at 5:03 a.m. PDT: White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders issued this statement –

It's a pity that Barry McGuire's song Eve of Destruction was not written from a Christian perspective!

Our Lord Jesus said:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." - Matthew 5:3-12 (Taken from https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org

This shooting brings back  (bad) memories of the Columbine shooting in 1999 where two young men murdered 12 of their fellow classmates, one teacher and injured 21 others (Source) - a tragedy that got one 15 year old in trouble with the law for posting the lyrics of rap star Eminem on Instagram. Here is what this young man posted (from Eminem's song, I'm Back):

"I take seven kids from (Columbine), stand ’em all in a line, add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine, a MAC-11 and it oughtta solve the problem of mine. And that’s a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time"

The father of one of the victims of Columbine later wrote the following poem:

"Your laws ignore our deepest needs
Your words are empty air
You’ve stripped away our heritage
You’ve outlawed simple prayer
Now gunshots fill our classrooms
And precious children die
You seek for answers everywhere
And ask the question 'Why'?
You regulate restrictive laws
Through legislative creed
And yet you fail to understand
That God is what we need"
(Source)


As tragic as this mass shooting is - and it is tragic - it's good to look at the big picture.   Chicago Mayor and former Chief of Staff for Barack Obama has said (or rather quoted Winston Churchill?): "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is that it is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before" (Video

And in the case of this most horrific mass murder/shooting, the thing that the globalists most desperately want is to gut the Second Amendment and take all the arms away from the America people.

I heard on pastor say the following:

"You may not like guns, and you may not like God. But if someone is breaking into your house the first thing your going to do is call someone who has a gun. And the next thing you're going to do is pray that they get there in time!"
