NEW ORLEANS — At least 10 people are dead and dozens of others were hurt after a car plowed into a crowd at Bourbon and Iberville Streets in New Orleans.
It happened around 3:15 a.m. toward the end of New Year’s celebrations in New Orleans and hours before the kickoff of the AllState Bowl, a college football quarterfinal held in the city’s Caesars Superdome, with thousands expected to be in attendance.
Sources say the suspect in the attack has been killed possibly by a New Orleans Police officer.
Investigators and police are currently looking for more suspicious packages in the French Quarter believed to be explosive devices.
FBI says they are investigating an IED type device, that they believe the suspect brought into the French Quarter.
A Louisiana State Trooper flagged the suspicious device.
Mayor Latoya Cantrell called the incident a terrorist attack and said she had been in contact with the White House. https://www.wdsu.com/article/bourbon-street-car-crowd-new-orleans/63315737

At least 10 people were killed and as many as 35 injured after a truck drove into a large crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans’ French Quarter early on Wednesday during a New Year’s celebration, according to the FBI and city leaders.
The pick-up truck crashed into the crowd at high speed around 3:15 a.m. and within moments the driver started firing on police officers from inside the vehicle, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said at an early morning news conference. Two officers were shot and are now being treated in stable condition. …
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell told reporters that the driver was on a mission to kill as many people as possible. “He was … bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did . . . This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could. It was not a DUI situation,” Cantrell said. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/01/01/new-orleans-vehicle-crash-bourbon-street-fatalities-shooting/77375188007/
This is terrible. Those affected are in my prayers.

Let’s not forget…

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. The murderous driver did not love–but lawlessly expressed hate.
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 murderous driver of the pickup truck.
Yet, this type of thing was not unexpected, particularly after the incident in Germany last month (see Arab terrorist kills, Elon Musk supports Germany’s AfD, & AfD co-chair supports Donald Trump?).
UPDATE 1500:
January 1, 2025
Government officials told ABC News that the Tesla Cybertruck explosion on Wednesday outside the Trump Las Vegas hotel in Nevada is being investigated as a “possible act of terror.” https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/cybertruck-blew-outside-trump-hotel-vegas
Elon Musk tweeted:
We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.
All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion. https://t.co/HRjb87YbaJ

Exploding a Tesla truck was also wrong to do. Yes, this looks like more terrorism.
Furthermore, notice that what can be called domestic terrorism was part of item 15 of my list of 25 items to prophetically watch in 2025:
15. Unrest, Terror, and the Dividing of the USA
There have been many protests in the USA.
Some protested racial, economic, and policing matters. …
The Bible prophesies, “There shall be terror within” (Deuteronomy 32:25).
Will that happen to the USA?
Yes.
Jesus warned:
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. (Matthew 24:6-12)
We are in the “beginning of sorrows” and we are more and more seeing “lawlessness” abounding as Jesus warned.
Instead of killing each other, love is what is needed.
As Jesus taught:
37 … “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40)
27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. 31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
32 “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 6:27-36)
As the reduction of love is prophesied, that is also prophesied to be followed by “troubles” (Mark 13:8).
That was a troubling incident in New Orleans.
The Kingdom of God is the solution, but it will not be here until about 3 1/2 years after Jesus’ commission in Matthew 24:14 is fulfilled.
Pray for those affected by this terrible crime, but also remember you should support the end time proclamation work.
