Shoppers were frightened and terrorized by a murdering man with a knife in Australia:
‘It was carnage’ – Eyewitnesses describe Sydney stabbing horror
13 April 2024
Eyewitnesses have described scenes of chaos as they fled a busy Sydney shopping mall where a knifeman killed six people and wounded several others.
“It was carnage,” said a witness, who was in a cafe nearby with his two young children as the attack began.
The man, who did not want to be named, told ABC News he saw a man suddenly “stabbing people indiscriminately”.
Crowds poured from Westfield shopping centre in Bondi when the terrifying incident began just after 3pm. …
Olinder Nemer told the BBC she scene was “so scary”.
“I didn’t see him stabbing people, but I saw him running with the knife,” the 22-year-old said.
“People were just running, screaming. At first we didn’t know what was happening, so we were running with everyone.”
Huma Hussainy and Mohamad Naveed spent 45 terrifying minutes hiding in a changing room.
Ms Hussainy said she was “still in shock” and described how she came within metres of the attacker outside a Lululemon store, adding that he had a knife the length of a forearm. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-68805401

“They just said run, run, run — someone’s been stabbed,” one witness told ABC TV in Australia. ”(The attacker) was walking really calmly like he was having an ice cream in a park. And then he went up the escalators … and probably within about a minute we heard three gunshots.”
Six of the victims — five women and a man — and the suspect died. Commissioner Karen Webb said the eight injured people were being treated at hospitals. The baby was in surgery, but it was too early to know the condition, she said. https://apnews.com/article/sydney-shopping-center-stabbing-shot-bondi-52318d684ebbab17dcac33a833ba0d51

Six people were killed and several others injured — including a small child — when a knife-wielding attacker rampaged through a busy Sydney shopping centre on Saturday, Australian police said.
Multiple people were stabbed by the unidentified assailant, who was shot dead by a policewoman at the scene.
The incident occurred at the sprawling Westfield Bondi Junction mall complex, which was packed with Saturday afternoon shoppers.
“I’m advised that there are five victims who are now deceased as a result of the actions of this offender,” said New South Wales police assistant commissioner Anthony Cooke. The death toll later rose to six.
The motive was not immediately clear, but Cooke said “terrorism” could not be ruled out at this stage. https://www.timesofisrael.com/6-killed-in-sydney-mall-stabbing-police-say-terror-not-ruled-out-as-motive/
This horrific incident was not expected by shoppers in Bondi.
The Bible warns that “there will be terror within” (Deuteronomy 32:25).
Whether or not the government authorities classify this mass murder as terrorism, people were terrorized and at least six (plus the murderer) are dead.
Notice a prophecy from Jesus:
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. (Matthew 24:12)
With lawlessness abounding, we look to be seeing more and more mass killings.
Yes, there has been mob theft and violence throughout history. But we are seeing it worsen as we live in perilous times. That was prophesied by the Apostle Paul:
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
Consider also the following that is certainly applicable to parts of many cities in the world (including the USA):
23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence. (Ezekiel 7:23)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; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality…30…violent, proud, boasters,…31…unmerciful; (Romans 1:28-31)
8 … And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. (Habakkuk 2:8)
The above applies to the stabber.
My prayers go out to those affected by this horror.
