In addition to the murders at Santa Fe High School yesterday, there was another shooting at another school after that. Here is information on both shootings:<\/p>\n

May 19, 2018<\/p>\n

SANTA FE, Texas (AP) \u2014 Only weeks ago, a dozen students from Santa Fe High School in Texas offered support for survivors of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting by participating in a nationwide walkout seeking stricter gun control.<\/p>\n

On Friday, it was Parkland students who declared their solidarity with teens in Santa Fe after a 17-year-old armed with a shotgun and a pistol opened fire at the Houston-area school, killing 10 people. It was the nation\u2019s deadliest such attack since the Florida massacre that killed 17 and energized the teen-led gun-control movement. …<\/p>\n

The suspected shooter, who was in custody on murder charges, also had explosive devices that were found in the school and nearby, said Gov. Greg Abbott.<\/p>\n

Investigators offered no motive. In a probable cause affidavit<\/a> , however, authorities said the suspect admitted to the shooting.<\/p>\n

The gunman also told investigators that when he opened fire Friday morning, \u201che did not shoot students he did like so he could have his story told,\u201d according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

The governor said the assailant intended to kill himself but gave up and told police that he did not have the courage to take his own life.<\/p>\n

The deaths were all but certain to re-ignite the debate over gun regulations, coming just three months after the Florida attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been happening everywhere. I\u2019ve always kind of felt like that eventually it was going to happen here too,\u201d Santa Fe High School student Paige Curry told Houston television station KTRK. \u201cI don\u2019t know. I wasn\u2019t surprised. I was just scared.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another 10 people were wounded at the school in Santa Fe, a city of about 13,000 people roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of Houston, the governor said. The wounded included a school police officer who was the first to confront the suspect and got shot in the arm.<\/p>\n

Hospitals reported treating a total of 14 people for injuries related to the shooting.<\/p>\n

Zachary Muehe, a sophomore at the school of roughly 1,400 students, was in his art class when he heard three loud booms.<\/p>\n

Muehe told The New York Times that a student he knew from football was armed with a shotgun and was wearing a shirt emblazoned with the slogan \u201cBorn to Kill.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was crazy watching him shoot and then pump. I remember seeing the shrapnel from the tables, whatever he hit. I remember seeing the shrapnel go past my face,\u201d he told The Times. https:\/\/www.apnews.com\/e8a26b081e2a4206978f750fcdf20a42\/Texas-students-who-supported-Parkland-endure-own-shooting<\/a><\/p>\n

At least one person was killed and another injured Friday night\u00a0in a shooting that followed a graduation ceremony in Jonesboro, Ga.,\u00a0authorities told Fox News.<\/p>\n

The shots were fired after an argument broke out in a parking lot near the\u00a0Clayton County Schools Performing Arts Center, the Clayton County Police Department said. http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2018\/05\/19\/georgia-high-school-shooting-leaves-1-dead-1-hurt-police-say.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There have been a lot of shootings. As mentioned above, 17 people were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on February 14, 2018. Notice something about the Parkland, Florida shooter:<\/p>\n

\n

Parkland shooter\u2019s text moments before rampage: \u2018No big deal. Nothing bad\u2019<\/h2>\n

March 8, 2018<\/p>\n

The lawyer for a northern Broward County family that took in Parkland mass shooter Nikolas Cruz provided The Palm Beach Post on Wednesday with chilling details about texts between Cruz and the family\u2019s teenage son in the minutes before Cruz opened fire<\/a>. …<\/p>\n

\n

Cruz was living with the Snead family on Loxahatchee Road in Parkland when he killed the 14 students and three adults at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Snead family attorney Jim Lewis told The Palm Beach Post on Wednesday:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u2022 Cruz texted the Sneads’ teenage son, who was in class at Douglas, around 2 p.m., about 20 minutes before Cruz started shooting. Cruz asked what class the son was in and who the teacher was. The son said the teacher was one of the coaches. Cruz texted the son to ask the coach if he remembered Cruz. The coach was not one of the people Cruz shot.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Minutes later, Cruz texted to say he was going to a movie. Lewis said he then “made some kind of comment that, ‘I’ve got something big to tell you.'” When the son pressed him, Cruz texted, “no big deal. Nothing bad.”
\n\u2022 Lewis said the texting stopped at 2:18 p.m. The last text was a single word: “Yo.” The Snead teen texted back several times without a response. Then, the shooting started. http:\/\/www.palmbeachpost.com\/news\/local\/broward-grand-jury-indicts-teen-parkland-massacre\/uLBExpMrPmNSPtT32hNhSO\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When I saw the ‘nothing bad’ text from Nicolas Cruz then, the following came to mind:<\/p>\n

\n
13<\/span> “Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; <\/span><\/div>\n
14<\/span> “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” <\/span><\/div>\n
15<\/span> “Their feet are swift to shed blood; <\/span><\/div>\n
16<\/span> Destruction and misery are in their ways; <\/span><\/div>\n
17<\/span> And the way of peace they have not known.” <\/span><\/div>\n
18<\/span> “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” (Romans 3:13-18)
\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The problem with the media about these incidents is that they do not have the fear of God nor know the way of peace.<\/p>\n

After Parkland, there were several ‘solutions’ proposed to stop future shootings.<\/p>\n

Related to many of them, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> produced the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n

High School Shootings: 7 Failed Solutions <\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There have been many school shootings. The shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, resulted in 17 deaths. But also has brought out various calls for change. In this video, Dr. Thiel explains why seven \u2018solutions\u2019 have not worked. These seven include involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), school warnings, psychological counseling and medications, armed school guards, first responders, gun control, and boycotting the National Rifle Association (NRA). Dr. Thiel explains why we have seen more such shootings and why more violence is expected based upon biblical prophecies. He also explains the only real solution to bring peace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here is a link to our video: High School Shootings: 7 Failed Solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

None of the solutions proposed related to Parkland by the mainstream would have prevented the latest two shootings.<\/p>\n

For example, while various gun bans have been proposed, there was not a proposed ban on shotguns, like was used in Santa Fe, Texas.<\/p>\n

To mention another ‘solution’, better background checks would not have stopped what happened in Santa Fe, Texas.<\/p>\n

The problem is moral decline and lack of proper fear of God.<\/p>\n

This has impacted pretty much all of American society.<\/p>\n

Notice that terror for the corrupt was prophesied:<\/p>\n

5 They have corrupted themselves<\/strong>; They are not His children, Because of their blemish: A perverse and crooked generation<\/strong>. … 25 The sword shall destroy outside; There shall be terror within<\/strong> (Deuteronomy 32:5,25)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We continue to see shootings and other terroristic acts.<\/p>\n

The Bible teaches:<\/p>\n

9 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Enough, O princes of Israel! Remove violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness (Ezekiel 45:9)<\/p>\n

9…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:9-10)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The further that the USA moves away from biblical morality, the more violence we will see.<\/p>\n

National repentance is what the USA needs. But since that is not likely, the real solution is the Kingdom of God<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Bible shows that God is against violence and that destruction will come because of it:<\/p>\n

23 ‘Make a chain,
\nFor the land is filled with crimes of blood,
\nAnd the city is full of violence.<\/strong>
\n24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
\nAnd they will possess their houses;
\nI will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
\nAnd their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)<\/p>\n

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting<\/strong>; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality…30…violent<\/strong>, proud, boasters,…31…unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them<\/strong>. (Romans 1:28-32)<\/p>\n

8 … And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. ( Habakkuk 2:8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Consider also the following prophecy for the last days:<\/p>\n

\n
1<\/span> But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: <\/span>2<\/span> For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, <\/span>3<\/span> unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, <\/span>4<\/span> traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, <\/span>(2 Timothy 3:1-4).<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Terroristic murders are brutal. Many are boasters, proud, without self-control. Many shooters also want publicity, like that is so important to murder for.<\/p>\n

Jesus warned:<\/p>\n

8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We are in a time of “troubles.” We are in the “beginning of sorrows.”<\/p>\n

A worse time of ‘tribulation<\/a>‘ is coming (Mark 13:19) and is getting closer.<\/p>\n
