Ethiopian Girl Saved By Lions!!!!



Ethiopian Girl Saved By Lions!!!!

Lions Free Kidnapped Girl
The outcome of this story gives us another glimpse into the Peaceable Kingdom (Isaiah 11:6-9) where neither humans nor animals will hurt or destroy in all of God's creation, for these lions were more full of the knowledge of the Lord than the humans who kidnapped this girl.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) -- Police say three lions rescued a 12-year-old girl kidnapped by men who wanted to force her into marriage, chasing off her abductors and guarding her until police and relatives tracked her down in a remote corner of Ethiopia.
The men had held the girl for seven days, repeatedly beating her, before the lions chased them away and guarded her for half a day before her family and police found her, Sgt. Wondimu Wedajo said Tuesday by telephone from the provincial capital of Bita Genet, some 560 kilometers (348 miles) west of the capital, Addis Ababa.
"They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest," Wondimu said, adding he did not know whether the lions were male or female.
News of the June 9 rescue was slow to filter out from Kefa Zone in southwestern Ethiopia.
"If the lions had not come to her rescue then it could have been much worse. Often these young girls are raped and severely beaten to force them to accept the marriage," he said.
"Everyone in thinks this is some kind of miracle, because normally the lions would attack people," Wondimu said.
