Gaining momentum, they rampaged through other non-Christian homes, demolishing gardens and singling out the home of persecutors, leaving Christian homes untouched.

INDEED.
PRAISE GOD.
Stranger things are going to increasingly happen in our era.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
I’m on the side of the elephants!
Go elephant, go!
Anybody else have a plausible explanation other than the hand of God?
They don't call them miracles for nothing you know.
Pretty strange story. Sounds like they have been trained by the CIA. (Love the part about the younger ones acting as scouts.)
I love these elephants. I have met several of them, deep in the jungles of Sri Lanka, just me and them, eye to eye, and it was one of the highlights of my life.
IIRC The movie ‘Elephant Walk’, starring Liz Taylor was premised on the legend that ‘Elephants never Forget’ their migratory trails.
It is possible that this area they are “rampaging” has some old migration connection.
But I do love the implication that this is a mastodon miracle.
Elephants never forget...
God can use beasts to accomplish his will if he so chooses. By the way, can we bring a shipload of them over here and turn them loose on Pennsylvania Avenue?
Too bad the GOP elephant is such a wuss compared to these Indian ones.
The world is sometimes a wondrous place full of everyday miracles and some definitely not everyday. BTW, the article didn't mention exactly who it is persecution the Christians - maybe they figured they didn't need to?
Maybe they’re on a mission from God? Interesting that they single out the non-Christian homes...wonder who told them which houses those were?
2 Kings 2:24
“He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.”
Ok, I’ll say it:
GEORGE W. BUSH DID IT w/the complicity of Karl Rove.
FYI - a book about elephants that I really like is When Elephants Weep.
These are amazing beings.
Hinduism, the other ROP.
And to think that Mother Teresa spent almost her entire life caring for those Hindus that their co-religionists did not want to be bothered with.
Elephants are extremely intelligent animals and their ‘’memory’’ is what you might expect for a higher-order social mammal. It doesn’t surprise me at all they would observe the comings and goings of those other animals, in the case the humans who tormented them and then dish out their brand of revenge. Although lions do hunt them, mostly their young, most animals tend to stay out of their way. I’m curious as to the identity of these ‘’villagers’’ who attacked the nuns. (Muslims maybe?)
Elephants are my favorite ‘wild’ animal.
