Anti-Christ incites competition to see his lies: 196 trampled to death in the stampede
Proverbs 27:7 The full soul trampleth on a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
In true Christianity, God comes to us because He knows we could never get to Him. He doesn’t meet us half-way and He doesn’t give us temporary blessings by giving us Himself/Jesus Christ. God chooses you, comes to you, gives you grace and causes you to understand what you can not understand on your own because they are divine things. He makes you a non-metaphorical new creature in which He lives. There is no undercutting your neighbor so your neighbor won’t get your share of the limited number of visions, gifts, graces and blessings of what is in truth anti-Christ. Jesus Christ in us gives us daily what we need from within and through each other to each other. Not even in the days before the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ do we read of a trampling at the pool of Bethesda.
John 5:2-9 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, awaiting the moving of the water. For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under. But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years. Jesus seeing this man lying there , and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well? The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me. Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk. And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.
Jesus went to the man. The man didn’t have to shove his way to the front. He could not possibly have done so. God makes that point in healing the lame man, not the guy who had one arm but could run like a deer.
But in Hinduism, there is only so much “blessing” to go around, so trampling on your neighbor to get that blessing before its gone is, as they say, cricket. If you don’t get to the “blessings”, it’s not going to come to you. And everyone else who believes the same lies you do will “know” it. The result in actual reality: 196 dead.
The victims were either trampled to death or had died of suffocation. Some pilgrims standing in the men’s queue lost balance on the slopy terrain, made slippery by the flowing coconut water on the road leading to the hill shrine. The installation (stapana) ceremony for the navaratras was scheduled between 6.23 a.m. and 7 .37 a.m. Around 9,000 people had stood in queues on the 2-km mountain road. The morning chants soon turned into shrieks of hapless victims as the commotion in the blind alley type of lanes led to unprecedented chaos.
Eyewitnesses talked about some pushing and shoving in the queue by some pilgrims for an early darshan.
A darshan is a “vision” demons actually give their victims.
For the ones left behind, that’s 196 less competitors for the same lie.
The scion of the Jodhpur royal family, Gaj Singh, who visited the site, said he would institute a private inquiry. Chamunda Devi is the family deity of the Jodhpur aristocracy.
False religion and politics. Every time.
This is in addition to those killed on August, 2003 when false priest so used to being the master over slaves, throw silver coins into the crowd and the scramble to get the coins kills 39. Like what Bush wants to do with a bailout for Wall Street. “Let’s watch ‘em scramble and scratch each other for what we say is value.”
From Aug 28, 2003 edition of The Hindu.
MUMBAI AUG. 27. In a stampede during the on-going Kumbh Mela in Nashik today, 39 pilgrims, including 28 women, were killed and 57 injured.
Lakhs of devotees had gathered on the banks of the Godavari for the `maha snan’ or holy bath. Over 30,000 pilgrims were being held back by barricades in a narrow street leading to the Ramkund, a holy spot, so that the sadhus could take the ceremonial dip first. It is said that a sadhu threw some silver coins into the crowd, and the scramble for the coins led to the stampede. Most of the victims are said to have died of asphyxiation.

Psalm 115:4-8 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands: They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not; They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat. They that make them are like unto them, –every one that confideth in them.

Luke 13:1-5 Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with that of their sacrifices. And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things? No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that *they* were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem? No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
