Why The Cold-Blooded Murder Of Jordan Neely By Daniel Penny On The New York Subway Was A Dark Occultic Ritual Of Blood Sacrifice And Idolatry
The world watched in horror as the video spread across the internet—Jordan Neely, a defenseless, unarmed Black man, gasping for air as Daniel Penny, a former Marine, wrapped his arms around Neely’s throat, choking the life out of him in front of dozens of passengers. The subway car, a space usually filled with the hum of conversations and the screech of metal on rails, became a silent altar of death.
The way Neely was held down, the way Penny tightened his grip, the way the other men restrained his limbs as he struggled—it all felt too eerily precise, too ritualistic. This wasn’t just a random act of violence. This was something deeper, something ancient. A script as old as time itself was being played out on that train, and those who had eyes to see knew exactly what it was.
It was a ritual. A blood sacrifice. An act of idolatry performed in broad daylight under the guise of "public safety."
Blood Sacrifice: The Ancient Practice of Offering Innocent Lives
Throughout history, powerful empires and secret cults have always required blood to maintain control. The Bible warns us time and time again about nations that sacrificed innocent lives to false gods, shedding blood to feed the spirits that demanded violence.
> "They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind." — Jeremiah 19:5
The ancient Canaanites, the Moabites, and even the corrupted Israelites engaged in these detestable acts, sacrificing children and the defenseless to false gods like Molech and Baal. These blood rituals were believed to strengthen the grip of the ruling elite, to summon spiritual power, and to appease the gods of conquest and destruction.
And what did we see on that subway? A man who posed no real threat—a poor, hungry, homeless Black man crying out in distress—was seized, choked, and pinned down, as if his life was being offered on an altar. He struggled, he gasped, but no one intervened. The train became a temple, the passengers its silent congregation, and Daniel Penny the executioner, performing the sacrifice with cold precision.
> “Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood.” — Isaiah 59:7
This was not self-defense. This was not a random act of violence. This was ritualistic.
The Spirit of Cain: A Pattern of Righteous Blood Crying from the Ground
From the very beginning, the shedding of innocent blood has been tied to curses and spiritual defilement. The first murder recorded in the Bible was not just a crime—it was an offering.
Cain murdered his brother Abel in a jealous rage, spilling his blood on the ground. But what did God say?
> "The voice of your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground!" — Genesis 4:10
The blood of the innocent has a voice. It cries out. And when society ignores that cry, judgment is inevitable.
Jordan Neely’s blood cries out.
Like Abel, he was a man who did not deserve to die, but the spirit of Cain—the spirit of those who despise the vulnerable, who see the poor as worthless, who believe they have the right to take life—was at work in Daniel Penny that day.
The Marine Corps, instead of condemning Penny’s actions, chose to reward him with medals, glorifying the murder of an innocent man. This is how idolatry spreads. When violence is celebrated, when killers are turned into heroes, when injustice is rebranded as "honor," the entire nation becomes guilty.
Idolatry and the Worship of the Strong Over the Weak
The Bible is clear: Idolatry is not just about bowing to statues. It is about elevating anything above God, including human power, military might, and racial superiority.
Daniel Penny’s act was not just murder—it was an expression of America’s deepest idolatry: the worship of dominance.
> "You shall have no other gods before me." — Exodus 20:3
When a man is choked to death in public, and instead of justice, his killer is celebrated, what message does that send? It tells the world that some lives are seen as worth less than others. It tells the world that whiteness, military background, and brute force are the new gods America bows to.
Jesus Himself warned against this mindset.
> "The rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant." — Matthew 20:25-26
But Daniel Penny was not acting as a servant. He was acting as a dominator, a conqueror, a man who had been conditioned to believe that he had the right to take a life simply because he could.
The Subway as an Altar: A Society That Feeds on Death
In ancient times, the elites held public sacrifices to instill fear and reinforce control. Today, the sacrifices are not held in temples but on city streets, in prisons, and in broad daylight on subway trains.
Jordan Neely’s death was not just a personal act of violence—it was a public spectacle. A warning. A message.
> "You have taken the blood of the innocent, and I will not hold you guiltless." — Jeremiah 2:34
The fact that Penny was not only protected but honored shows just how deep the spiritual corruption runs. America has built its empire on the shedding of blood—from the genocide of Indigenous people to the enslavement of Africans, to the lynchings, the mass incarcerations, and now the public executions on subways.
This was never about keeping the subway safe. If it were, why wasn’t Jordan Neely, a homeless man in need, offered help? Why wasn’t his humanity recognized? Because in a society built on idolatry, the vulnerable are not protected—they are sacrificed.
A Call to the Righteous: Rejecting the Spirit of Death and Injustice
The Bible commands us to stand against injustice, to call out evil, and to refuse to be complicit in the ways of the wicked.
> "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute." — Proverbs 31:8
The death of Jordan Neely was not just another tragedy. It was a sign. A moment of reckoning. Will the people of God remain silent, or will they rise up and declare that enough is enough?
The prophets warned of nations that sacrificed the innocent and called it "peace." They warned of empires that honored the violent while crushing the weak. Every one of those empires fell.
And America will be no different if it refuses to repent.
> "But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" — Amos 5:24
Jordan Neely’s blood cries out. The question is, who is listening?
The battle is not just political. It is spiritual. It is time to stand, to speak, and to break the chains of deception that have allowed these sacrifices to continue. Because if the righteous remain silent, the next ritual will come. And the next. And the next.
Until there is no one left to save.
