There were 5 horses in all that bolted from a cavalry exercise, after presumably throwing their riders, 3 of whom were listed as injured. Apparently city folk in London no longer know how to stop panicked horses! They were injured and scared, not "dangerous"! Horses are fairly easy to stop, it's bulls you want to watch out for. The other 3 were stopped before they got far and got injured. But obviously a saddled and bridled horse is not " wild"; for those who have never seen an horse not saddle broke, put 1 on such an horse and you will get a real "wild west" show.

It seems to me ‘The Riders’ failed to maintain [bridle] !

Yes, but in all likelihood, they too were startled by the commotion, so got unseated. I experienced a similar incident once in my teens, so have a bit of sympathy both ways. If their riders were among those injured, that may also have contributed.

Forty years ago, the grandson of friends was in Boston Children’s Hospital having undergone his final chemo treatment for cancer and pronounced in remission. It was Thanksgiving weekend. His parents and grandparents were there. His heart stopped. The drs administered electroshock. His heart responded. He opened his eyes, looked at his dad and very clearly asked, “Please make them stop this. I want to go back. I am having fun.” With that, his heart stopped again. The family let him go. I attended his funeral. The priest related this in his homily.

I read this wasn’t the first instance of horses escaping from the same place. Something similar happened several months ago as well. Very strange.

My second thought this article seems to speak to me is that, so much of all the comments on this blog (this Christian blog) often looks at current events where there is a good side and a bad side. Those evil Obama democrats or those evil imposter Jews. We are constantly trying to see the world via the lens of good and evil. But the reality is everything in this world is flawed broken and evil and as in Noah's day the world was destroyed by water, this world will be destroyed by fire. Why bring Judgement t o all outside of God's grace? Because it is all tainted with sin and incompleteness. So what taints it?

I really like what the British historian and philosopher Lord Aston said about this world and it's love of power,

“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd (overlay) the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.”“Despotic power is always accompanied by corruption of morality.” “Authority that does not exist for Liberty is not authority but force.”

“Everybody likes to get as much power as circumstances allow, and nobody will vote for a self-denying ordinance.”“Absolute power demoralizes.”

Lucifer who was the most powerful created being running creation for God, fell in love with himself and he wanted God's power for himself, that lust for power corrupted him and he fell.

All wars all political battles and are are all about power control and money. Jesus said it well, the love of manna (stuff-and the power it brings) is the root of all evil (corruption of our morality). Even the church is not immune to this. We all know of stories of Church splits or churches dissolving. Look at the stories of pastors that lead mega churches (or smaller churches) and what trips them up, who fall? Money, sex, and the lust for power and control. The three most powerful corrupting influences in this fallen world.

Even at our christian best Paul says we see into the mirror dimly, for we know in part and we prophecies in part, it's why we need the armor of God daily, it's the battle against my own flesh inflamed by Satan's influence (arrows).

Even for this nation, the best objective supporters of the Constitution recognize that it is a document forged out of compromise, big state plan vs small state plan, a country with or without slavery or a central Govt that is totally supreme or do we rule via the states and not a powerful central govt. Evey single human institution (except the true church -Jew and gentile) has crumbled and died. If the Lord tarries, so will this nation become part of the ash-heap of history. Why? Because we like everyone else have been corrupted by the flesh and sin, it's only when perfection comes as Paul said, ( the resurrection) is what we wait and hope for for a place not built by human hands.

Just look at what we honor (we have truly fallen in love with ourselves) and memorialize people as a nation, Jefferson in a Roman Temple, Lincoln in a Greek temple and Washington with a obelisk that is a Egyptian symbol that Pharaoh is a god, then In the Capital dome Washington is enthroned in heaven as God! When a govt leader dies, he lays instate under the dome of the capital, that is bases on the Masonic ritual of the deceased needs time to assent into heaven and become God himself. This is why Mormons consider the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence on a par with the Book of Mormon and the Bible. The Mormons still believe Jesus will return and rule from Independence MO, because the exalted state in Heaven is that I become my own God with my own planet.

In the Constitution there is no religious test to run the country and there can be no establishment of religion (any religion) for this nation.

The Declaration of Independence states we all have inalienable human rights ,that That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Notice everything is about us we are the focus, God is in the background (a very Deist view of God). Yes we do have rights but they are not inalienable. This was a new idea not found in scripture but the Enlightenment. Where prior to this all govt was ordained by God via a ruler, now it's by the people.

But Biblically Govt does not get their powers from the governed but God. It's God who establishes and ordains Govt and nations not man!

All we have done is substituted the Tyranny of the few and powerful for the tyranny of the mob. Our founding fathers feared democracy, that it would lead to mobocracy.

So the great American experiment of govt. of the people, by the people and for the people is failing. Why it's the same reason Lucifer fell and Adam and Eve fell and why we can never have a just and truly free society in this fallen age because we are subject to the love of self not God and we want power and control and the glory for ourselves. This is why Jesus said my kingdom of truth can not be of this world or built by human hands. Our only hope and grace is found at the cross and nowhere else. We face a world of persecution (and that's coming) as we patiently wait (being bout the the Lord's business) until he returns.

For me, I think there is a deeper understanding to this event, than just an illusion to the 4 horsemen in revelation, because in Revelation the horses have riders that concur these horses are fleeing in fear with no riders. A real symbol of defeat in battle.

But what we do know is that riders on horses symbolize power as in this case the horse were part of the King of England's Military guard used for parades. These horses are well trained but were suddenly put into a panic and ran out of fear. Biblically this symbolizes an aspect of the second coming of Christ and God's promised restoration of Israel in the last days,

Zach 4 Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. In that day,” (Armageddon) declares the Lord, “I will strike every horse with bewilderment and his rider with madness. (this not about 70 AD, Israel loses in that day).

Jeremiah 51 (is about God using Babylon to judge Israel then God sends the Medes & Persians to utterly destroy (judge) her for sin. Babylon in 539 BC was defeated. there is an illustration of God defeating a nation

Jere. 51:20-21 He says, “You (Medes & Persians) are My war-club, My weapon of war; And with you I shatter nations, And with you I destroy kingdoms. “With you I shatter the horse and his rider,

Haggai 2- here Zerubbabel is a messianic image of Christ's coming kingdom when He returns to rule;

vs 22-23 I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders will go down, everyone by the sword of another.’ ‘On that day,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’” declares the Lord of hosts. (clearly messianic imagery here).

Zech. 10 a prophecy about Judah and Ephrem in the last days, final battle vs. 5-6 (but you need to read the entire chapter to get the full message) They (Judah & Ephraim) will be as mighty men, Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle; And they will fight, for the Lord will be with them; And the riders on horses will be put to shame. “I will strengthen the house of Judah, And I will save the house of Joseph, And I will bring them back, Because I have had compassion on them; And they will be as though I had not rejected them, For I am the Lord their God and I will answer them.

Rev14:19-20 (this needs no explanation) So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses’ bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles.

On final thought, to whom has God said Gaza belongs to as an inheritance forever?

Zephaniah 2:4-7 (this is about the world being gathered to experience the wrath of God (the wrath of the Lamb) in Judea (Armageddon) for the enemies of Judah (Israel) are the enemies of God. Again it's a must read to read the entire chapter, Zeph. 2:4-7 For Gaza will be abandoned And Ashkelon a desolation; Ashdod will be driven out at noon And Ekron will be uprooted. Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; And I will destroy you So that there will be no inhabitant. So the seacoast will be pastures, With caves (tunnels?) for shepherds and folds for flocks. And the coast will be For the remnant of the house of Judah, They will pasture on it. In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening; For the Lord their God will care for them And restore their fortune.

(Notice, God clearly Judges Israel for her sins, but due to His unfailing love for her and her election for His sake, God Chose Israel to reveal Himself in perfect Judgement and grace and restoration and His coming kingdom.

The US driven war between Ukraine and Russia is not going well after billions we don't have wasted as the homeland swirls down the toilet.

Stupid, blind leaders to lead the nation to hell. Psalm 9:17.

This is what God's judgements look like

I don't have many dreams, especially that I remember. This night I was given a hefty hammer to pound stubborn nails.

After some serious pounding the head of the hammer was damaged as well as the neck from some nicking.

What stood out in this strange dream was the Hammer was broken after hard pounding.

I look at America's failed wars in Iraq where Iran and Iraq were brought together as well as the O'Biden Afghanistan defeat after 20 years of war and trillions wasted. And then we go to Israel and it's war to destroy Hamas and how the USA is making sure the enemy is not defeated, but well fed and well supplied, severely hamstringing Israel.

Now all of a sudden once friendly African countries have begun to turn on America. No coincidence. God has had enough of the LGBTQ+OFF Abort, perv Empire and it's end is evident to all with eyes to see.

"We have heard a report from the Lord,

And a messenger has been sent among the nations saying,

“Arise, and let’s go up against her for battle”—

2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;

You are greatly despised.

3 The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,

The one who lives in the clefts of [b]the rock,

On the height of his dwelling place,

Who says in his heart,

‘Who will bring me down to earth?’

4 Though you make your home high like the eagle,

Though you set your nest among the stars,

From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.

Obadiah 1

The United States will pull the majority of its troops from Chad and Niger ....

U.S. and Nigerien officials were expected to meet Thursday in Niger's capital, Niamey, “to initiate discussions on an orderly and responsible withdrawal of U.S. forces,"

Earlier this month, Russian military trainers arrived to reinforce the country’s air defenses and they brought Russian equipment, which they would train Nigeriens to use.

The young boy who survived so long after heart failure was notably saved by a pediatric doctor who championed COVID-19 vaccinations for all children, Dr. Aileen Maddux. SHE is the one who suggested/insisted that he be put on the ECMO, which she noted saved so many lives in the early days of COVID.

I don't know much about the ECMOs but here's a link stating that ECMO machines have saved far, far more lives in cardiac failure patients that standard medical care: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/life-support-machine-helps-cardiac-arrest-patients-survive . People whose hearts stopped functioning, but were hooked up to ECMOs, survived in greater numbers than non-ECMOs.

Lastly Mr Snyder says this story isn't all over the place because the parents are Christians, but it's on a gay website called "Towleroad", and the boys parents have the same names of Destiny Anderson and Dominique McDaniels, but they're a lesbian couple. The article Mr Snyder links to says that Dominique is the "father", but a google search for that name in Colorado only shows a female with that name. I'd also say that since the whole family is Black (and not that attractive), these may be the real reasons they aren't on every channel and website.

I'm not saying God wasn't involved or that God didn't put Dr. Aileen Maddux in their path, but let's see if young Cartier survives this event and doesn't suffer permanent brain damage as most do if they have lost brain function after losing heart function.
