SRH: Apostle John is given this vision of what is to take place in the last days, from the vantage point of heaven. Thus he is looking at these events from the standpoint of eternity — and the one great characteristic of eternity is that there is no time there. In heaven there is no sense of past or future. Everything is present — now! That is why it is so difficult in this book (Rev) to tell exactly when events occur when they are brought into time.

HNewsWire: Reports suggest that this year's assaults were more severe and targeted rescue services, including ambulance employees, as young Germans in migrant-heavy districts once again transformed Berlin and other German cities into war zones on New Year's Day.

15 firemen and 18 police officers were hurt while responding to 3,943 incidents in Berlin. Reports of "especially nasty assaults in the hotspot areas of Kreuzberg and Neukölln with a large concentration of migrants" appeared in the Bild newspaper.

Iris Spranger, a senator for the Social Democrats and a member of the Interior Committee, said, "There were hundreds of assaults" (SPD).

Examples include the assault on firemen in Kreuzberg by 200 masked individuals after young men set fire to barricades. Fifty attackers opened fire on emergency services in Neukölln, one of the most diverse areas in Germany.

Unsettling footage shows a gang of individuals storming an ambulance and throwing things into the open back doors.

Numerous videos document the carnage, including one showing a police officer being hit by a rocket to the head, which causes his helmet to ignite. A police officer and a fireman both were seriously hurt and are still in the hospital.

Thomas Kirstein of the Berlin Fire Department claims that their cars were shot at with birdshot ammo. An "illegal bullet bomb" was reportedly hurled towards a parked police vehicle full of officers. Another video shows a guy shooting a window out of a police cruiser.

As a result of the commotion, 103 persons (98 males and 5 women) were taken into custody. The Berlin police department tweeted, "The brutality that our employees had to face on New Year's Eve is terrible. For this reason, it falls on all members of society to provide a visible counterargument. Our prayers are with the wounded, and we appreciate everyone's dedication.

Another clip shows migrant youngsters making fun of a fireman who was trying to give an interview to the media.

There were charred remains of buses and cars all across Berlin the next morning.

Ex-AfD parliamentary group leader in Berlin, Georg Pazdersk, tweeted, "When are we finally going to accept that we have a significant issue with young male migrants from archaic civilizations who don't want to assimilate. To ignore the issue is to perpetuate it.

Violent acts, including assaults on rescue workers, were also reported in other places including Duisburg.

One can only shake their head in disbelief. Berlin's ruling elite denies any responsibility for the catastrophe. "It has compassion for individuals who disobey the laws," Heinz Buschkowsky, the former mayor of Neukölln and a member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), told Bild.

As time goes on, the crazies become more common. An opportunity to criticize the government exists at every holiday celebration... They are the adversary and must be defeated.

Even seasoned first responders are taken aback by the shocking level of violence. Everything has to stop now. The government can no longer sit on its hands while law enforcement personnel and firemen are targeted by lawbreakers on many occasions. CDU Berlin chapter chairman Kai Wegner told Bild that these actions amounted to "crimes" and were not to be taken lightly.
