Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday was "one of the darkest days in the history of Naval Air Station Pensacola".
As far as I can recall, this is the first Muslim terror attack on American soil since Donald Trump has been president, at least it feels that was as opposed to the dozens and dozens of Muslim terror attacks when
Barack Obama was president. But today's attack is significant in many ways, and you will soon see why they chose Naval Air Station Pensacola as their target.
“And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJV)
Naval Air Station Pensacola is America's very first naval air station, with
construction beginning as far back as April of 1826. So it is the 'crown jewel' so to speak of the American Navy. Secondly, it is also home to
the Blue Angels, a potent symbol of American military superiority in the air. So any idea that today's terror attack, today's Muslim terror attack, was some kind of aberration or a 'one-off" can be stricken from the record. Today's attack on Naval Air Station Pensacola is a
message, and I believe, a harbinger of more attacks that will be coming to American soil in 2020.
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJV)
With each passing day, I am getting the feeling that 2020 is going to be a breakout year on the prophetical timeline, and at the very least, a turning point for the United States. Make sure your accounts with the Lord are up to date, it feels like it just might be that type of year.
Suspected shooter at Naval Air Station Pensacola was Saudi Air Force member
FROM NBC NEWS: The suspect in a shooting that killed three people and injured several others at a naval base in Pensacola, Florida, on Friday morning was a member of the Saudi Air Force who was in the U.S. for training, officials said.
Several law enforcement sources identified the gunman, who was killed in the incident, as Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani.
Saudi Arabia is "going to owe a debt here given that it was one of their individuals," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told reporters. "The government of Saudi Arabia needs to make things better for these victims."
Two Escambia County sheriff's deputies, who were at the scene immediately after reports of shots fired at about 6:50 a.m., were injured in an exchange of gunfire with the shooter, who had a handgun, authorities said. One officer was shot in the arm, and the other was shot in the leg and was in surgery, Chief Deputy Chip Simmons said at a news conference. They were both expected to survive.
"I could not be prouder of the men and women of the sheriff’s office," Sheriff David Morgan said. "They ran to the fight, not from the fight."
Base commander Capt. Timothy Kinsella said those on the base demonstrated "some real heroism today." He added that the base holds active shooter drills regularly. Naval Air Station Pensacola employs more than 16,000 military and 7,400 civilian personnel. The economy and culture of the surrounding area are largely entwined with the base, which resembles a college campus and where 60,000 members of the Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard receive training each year.
It was the nation's first naval air station and is home to the popular Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron and the National Naval Aviation Museum, making it a popular tourist destination. It is also the headquarters of the Naval Education Training Command. Gov. DeSantis said Friday was "one of the darkest days in the base’s history."
