Blood Crying From The Ground In The Valley Of Slaughter
Sanctity of Life Sunday, January 20, 27, 2008; February 3,2008
God warned Israel through the Old Testament prophets Jeremiah, Joel and Isaiah of the danger of shedding innocent blood. Jeremiah prophesied that because Israel had built the high places of Tophet, a heathen deity that required child sacrifice, in the valley of Hinnom and made the valley into a valley of slaughter, He would cause to cease from the streets the sounds of joy and make the land desolate. What America is doing at this moment, especially in the area of allowing legal abortions to snuff out the lives of nearly 50 million babies, is not being done in the dark, but against great LIGHT. That is what makes our sin that much more grievous. When it comes to abortion, we're not doing this without knowledge it's wrong, wicked and sinful! We know the truth but we have literally cast off truth and as a result found ourselves on the precipice of unprecedented judgment upon this once Christian nation that has turned pagan. We don't even blush any more. We don't even cringe at the sight of the slaughter of innocent babies anymore. We don't weep and mourn over the bloodshed that runs rampant on our streets, in our ghettos and across our television sets! For whatever reason we just don't get it seems the picture that God is not happy with our sin and that HE not changed! He is extending mercy at this very moment to America and wants to send such a revival that it will shake us to our core but we refuse to listen. Israel hardened her heart despite warning after warning after warning from a loving God who did all things to beckon her to return before she perished.

Text: Jeremiah 7:31-34 And they
have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of
Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded
them not, neither came it into my heart. [32] Therefore, behold, the days
come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of
the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet,
till there be no place. [33] And the carcases of this people shall be meat for
the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray
them away. [34] Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from
the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the
voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be
desolate.
Joel 3:19 - Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Isaiah 59:7 - Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths
Psalms 106:38 - And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood
Jeremiah 26:15: But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears
Jeremiah 2:34 - Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
Jeremiah 7:6 - If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt
Jeremiah 22:3, 17 - Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
Numbers 35:19, 21, 24-25, 27:
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he
shall slay him. Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote
him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood
shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. 24-25: Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the
revenger of blood according to these judgments: [25] And the congregation shall
deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled:
and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed
with the holy oil. 27: And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the
city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be
guilty of blood:
Our text today includes several passages where God warns Israel through
the Old Testament prophets Jeremiah, Joel and Isaiah of the danger of shedding
innocent blood. Jeremiah prophesied that because they had built idols to Tophet
in the valley of Hinnom and made the valley into a valley of slaughter He would
cause to cease from the streets the sounds of joy and make the land desolate.
Tophet was a false god that demanded child sacrifice.
As we write this journal in mid-January 2008 our nation sits at a serious
precipice - one that we will either embrace as a warning for us to return to God
or one we will shun and continue in our rebellion, darkness and apostasy. In
about seven months we will be electing a new President that will signal I
believe the direction the nation wishes to take in many areas. Just yesterday
from the day of this writing on January 19, received a post to our blog about
abortion where an individual commented he was "so often frustrated by my
Christian friends (I am a Christian myself) who use a candidate's opinions on
abortion to decide who they'll vote for. " While recognizing that abortion was
horrible this individual, a registered Republican, didn't seem to think that
this issue was worthy of considering a candidate to run our nation. We don't
mean to sound unkind or mean spirited but this is what happens when the church
loses its way with God and walks in darkness instead of light. We have
become so desensitized to the shedding of innocent blood in this nation because
it has gone on for so long that we no longer have a conscience when electing or
supporting leaders we willfully know condone the slaughter of innocent babies
inside a mother's womb.
Let this writer declare to you - it DOES matter what the candidate you vote for believes when it comes to abortion and same-sex marriage. The way we see it - and you're welcome to disagree if you like - but if you pull that lever for a candidate who will release the gates of hell upon this land through providing federal funds for private abortions - both domestic and foreign - then you are just as guilty as that demonic doctor performing the abortion to begin with. We need to stop voting our pocket books and swayed by charisma and gender and vote being led by the SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD. America is going to get what it is asking for I'm afraid and friend it is not going to be good by any stretch of the imagination. Democracy really only works when the people are righteous and make righteous choices according to the will of God. As the Psalm declares, "when the wicked rule (in our case as Americans - we vote them in) the righteous mourn!" (BR)
Some churches will celebrate Sanctity of Life Sunday today while others have planned events for February 3 to bring attention to this very serious matter facing our nation. As we considered this we felt compelled this week by the Lord to write a journal on what the Bible said about abortion and the shedding of innocent blood. Neighbor, we are living in perilous times. That word "perilous" means "dangerous," and "murderous" in the original Greek language, and to be frank there are no two other words that better describe the prophetic time we live. Mankind continues to sin without any sense or need of repentance before a Holy and Just God. I weep each time I pause and think of this nation of America. I love this nation. I am proud to be called an American citizen and as such I fear for the future of the finest country on Planet Earth. A nation raised up by God without a doubt to be a beacon of hope for millions. That beacon of hope was not centered on economics or politics but the beacon of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The day America stops exporting the gospel (which has happened) America is in trouble.
The second reason America was raised
up was to protect Israel, a call and duty which she is also forsaking at this
very moment by pressuring Israel to divide up Jerusalem and accept a Palestinian
state that will be nothing more than a propped up terrorist launching pad at
some point in the future and literally pave the way for the rise of the
Antichrist and the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Over the past several
decades, America has continued to flex her rebellious hand and heart before the
Almighty despite constant efforts by the Lord to get our attention through
various chastisements and warning judgments that we cease to recognize and allow
to draw us back to His heart and plans for this land.
Let me stay on this point for a moment before we get into the meat of this
journal. What America is doing at this moment is not being done in the dark but
against great LIGHT. That is what makes our sin that much more grievous. When it
comes to abortion, we're not doing this without knowledge it's wrong, wicked and
sinful! We know the truth but we have literally cast off truth and as a result
found ourselves on the precipice of unprecedented judgment upon this once
Christian nation that has turned pagan. We don't even blush any more. We don't
even cringe at the sight of the slaughter of innocent babies anymore. We don't
weep and mourn over the bloodshed that runs rampant on our streets, in our
ghettos and across our television sets! For whatever reason we just don't get it
seems the picture that God is not happy with our sin and that HE not changed! He is not "the man upstairs" or
a "higher power" as the moronic babblings of humanistic
psychology intimate, but HE IS
GOD. He is Yahweh! He is our RIGHTEOUS banner that screams to us in these last
days to REPENT and come back to Him before He must move in judgment. He is
extending mercy at this very moment to America and wants to send such a revival
that it will shake us to our core but we refuse to listen. This is what happened
to Israel during the days of Jeremiah the weeping prophet. Israel hardened her
heart despite warning after warning after warning from a loving God who did all
things to beckon her to return before she perished. Let me put it another way.
In Israel's history every time God judged her there was a cycle preceding that
judgment that always took place. First, God would send prophets to WARN Israel
of her sin and impending doom. Secondly, God would give a season of grace to
give her space to repent. That space of grace at times was months, sometimes
years, but if Israel continued to refuse to listen to God eventually God would
send a foreign power into her land and captivity, bloodshed, destruction,
murder, rape and carnage ensued. Jeremiah warned Israel in our text that because
the nation had shed innocent blood and made the valley of Hinnon as "valley of
slaughter,"
then He would "cause to cease from the
cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the
voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for
the land shall be desolate."
Many Bible prophecy teachers believe 9-11 was America's clarion warning to
repent. Since 9-11 we have not had a terrorist attack so we have in essence been
in a time of grace since that time. Yet despite embracing that grace and
humbling ourselves, we have become a nation of murmurers, complainers and
apostates, despising authority and doing everything possible to blaspheme God
and push Him out of of the thought processes of our nation's institutions from
the White House to the local school system. The question has to asked when will the
hammer fall again and judgment comes a second time. And when judgment does come
a second time how severe will the judgment be? False prophets are running around
the nation even as we write this claiming a great move of prosperity is coming
to America without even mentioning of decrying the horrible sins that grip the
core of MILLIONS in our nation.
What We're Doing Is Not Being Done In The Dark And Without Knowledge, But Like Israel "Not Found By Secret Search" Or Against Light!
Jeremiah 2:34 - Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
What America continues to do today through the legalization of abortion is not being done in the dark or without conscience. We know what is right and wrong. We have been given the LIGHT yet we stubbornly continue to walk in darkness. It's one thing to do these things without knowledge; it's quite another to do them against light. The Lord told Israel through Jeremiah that when He saw the shedding of innocent blood, He did not find it "by secret search" meaning that Israel blatantly and openly did it without remorse, conscience or any desire to cease from its blood letting. That is what we call apostasy and it grips the modern church world today as well as our nation. We are not just sinning but we're sinning against LIGHT.
As Daniel prayed so long ago, we have been given "confusion of faces," as a result of our rebellion. Have you seen a time in history when our governmental leaders have not been as confused about things as they are? Am I the only one looking at these candidates who are running for the Presidency and wandering where have the leaders with righteous backbones gone? How can so many women want to vote for a woman who openly condones the slaughter of innocent millions and then claim that they vote for her because as one STUPID AND MORONIC LOCAL SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN LEADER WHO IS HEADING UP HER CAMPAIGN HERE IN OUR FAIR AREA SAID WITHOUT BLUSHING "Well, we women need to stick together." Oh really? Well I wander if all the women who support this murderous and Jezebel type individual will stick together on the day of judgment when we all stand before God and give account for the lack of conviction and conscience that we showed in making a difference in the spiritual life of our nation!!!
The sadder truth is that many prophetic voices
who are telling the truth and warning that America is headed for destruction and
a loss of her freedom and identity are being drowned out and mocked, lampooned
and being kicked out of local ministries and churches in exchange for the
soothing words of new age gurus dressed up in suits such as the writers of "Your
Best Life Now" and "The Purpose Driven Life." Let me just go ahead and make you
mad here. America's problem is not finding her best life now- America's problem
is SIN. America needs to repent. The Church needs to REPENT. Washington DC needs
to REPENT. Knoxville, TN. needs to REPENT. Thomasville, Ga., needs to repent.
Las Vegas, NV needs to repent. Atlanta, Ga., needs to repent. St. Louis, MO.
needs to repent. And the list could go on of ALL cities in the land that need to
have both corporate and individual repentance! But we've seem to caught
spiritual amnesia in the church world when it comes to this concept!! The
moronic babblings of men like Joel Osteen and Rick Warren, who are hailed as
"leaders" of this "new" wave of evangelicalism of the 21rst Century are not
sending men to the altar to meet Christ at the Cross but sending millions to
HELL! America doesn't need to find her purpose, America needs to find HER
SOUL!!!!! Let me say that again. America don't need to
find her purpose, America needs to find her SOUL!
It seems we have always known how to pray during a crisis but we have forgotten how
to REPENT! America did not repent after 9-11. America did not tear down her
idols after 9-11. America has continued to abort babies at the rate of 1 million
per year along with promoting homosexuality along with a God-less, atheist society that degrades God and everything Godly in
spite of what happened to nearly 3,000 of our citizens just 7 years ago. Their blood cries out to
us tonight from the soil saying "REPENT!" and come back to GOD as does
the blood of the MILLIONS of the innocent babies slaughtered in abortion clinics
legally since 1973 when the U.S. Supreme Court passed Roe. V. Wade and unleashed
the gates of hell upon this nation!
Some sad facts scream to us that we as a nation need to weep and mourn over our
lost condition! Recent abortion figures from 2005 indicate that 1.2 million
babies were aborted which comes to 3,700 a day. Some 52% of women
obtaining abortions in the U.S. are younger than 25: Women aged 20-24 obtain 32%
of all abortions; Teenagers obtain 20% and girls under 15 account for 1.2%.
And the most disturbing issue for this
writer are the ones having the abortions. Women identifying themselves as
Protestants obtain 37.4% of all abortions in the U.S.; Catholic women account
for 31.3%, Jewish women account for 1.3%, and women with no religious
affiliation obtain 23.7% of all abortions. AND 18% of all abortions are
performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical" LET ME BE
BLUNT - NEIGHBOR IF YOU HAVE AN ABORTION THEN YOU ARE NOT BORN AGAIN! You may
have had one and repented but truly born again men and women don't murder
babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What part of that do we not understand?
Some of the reasons women claim they
get abortions is telling as well. Less than 1% of 1% of all abortions
occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential
health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all
abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).
An estimated 43% of all women will have at least 1 abortion by the time they are
45 years old. 47% of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least
one previous abortions, so it's clear the cycle of sin does not stop at one.
The Root Cause of Shedding Innocent Blood - Covetousness
Jeremiah 22:7, 13 - But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
Jeremiah says that "covetousness" is in the heart of those shed blood, oppress others and for violence. No matter how self-righteous we want to sound, no matter how we dress it up, all evil comes back down to the lust for the Almighty dollar! Jeremiah declared that "thine eyes" and "thine heart" are NOT but for "thy" covetousness "and for to SHED innocent blood," "for oppression," and "for violence" to do it. These three things are tied together back to one foundational principle and sin - GREED. Men and women abort babies because in most cases they look at the "cost" of having a child born out of wedlock and decide it's too "costly" so they kill it. Friend, those things will be brought into account at the Judgment of God one day. These things will be dealt with upon a nation unless we repent.
I do want to stop here and say something very important related to this. I know some may be reading this who have had abortions, yet have repented of their sins and realized the sadness and horror this act was. I'm not writing this as a slap at you. I'm speaking to those who callously kill the unborn - the doctors, the woman and the man - who have lost conscience and do not see it as evil. I am speaking to Godless politicians and spineless church leaders who because of fear they may lose an offering from the head deacon in their church whose wife has had abortions because of several affairs refuse to denounce this hideous sin. Jeremiah declares that this act of violence is "not but for thy covetousness!" That in simple South Georgia terms means that 93% of ALL abortions are done because of MONEY and the thinking that a baby may put a snag in our pocket book.
It's interesting to note that during the latter part
of the Great Tribulation, the
Bible teaches that men will NOT repent of their evil deeds. God allows intense
judgment to bring men to repentance. When men are no longer willing to repent,
then the wrath of God will be unleashed without restraint! I cannot help but
wander how close we are as a nation to becoming so hardened that even judgment
will not cause us to repent! Repentance is acknowledging our error, taking responsibility for it,
declaring our sin as God sees it - WICKEDNESS and SINFUL, then MAKING
restitution, and turning around. It is not just saying "I'm sorry"
without any real intention of quitting what we are doing. Many people say "I'm
sorry" so much without really meaning it to the point those words have become just
lip service to God. God looks on the heart and He sees the intentions of our
lives through CRYSTAL CLEAR HOLY FIRE BURNING EYES! He is not mocked nor fooled
by our babblings and false hoods spoken to Him through sinful wicked lips. And
let me add this. I don't care how many people are claiming the church is having
revival. We're not! If we were experiencing revival we would not be killing 3700
babies a day and 1.2 million babies a year. We would not be marching holding
signs saying "dogs deserve justice," because some black quarterback killed two
pit bull dogs and call those marching with signs "animal rights groups," and
"people who have a heart for animals," then when Christians do the same thing at
abortion clinics and demand justice for the living breathing souls of the unborn
dead, they are called "criminals"! Neighbor that is NOT REVIVAL. That is
apostasy and darkness. No repentance, NO revival! No repentance, NO true move of
God. Repentance comes FIRST, THEN God moves in His mercy and grace. Our hearts
must be rended and turned to Him FIRST. We have the cart before the horse. We
proclaim revival is going on while the nation and even the professing church
around us continues to wallow in wickedness and sin.
The Northridge Earthquake Of 1994 - A 9-11 Foreshadowing
Several years ago, a devastating earthquake hit the Los Angeles area. The
epicenter of the quake was located in Northridge, which just happened to be at
the heart of America's pornography center. Before Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it
was the costliest disaster
in U.S. History at a staggering $44 billion in damages. In human costs, 22,000
were left homeless; 9,000 were injured and 58 people died. Instead of being
moved to repentance America, just like she did after 9-11, adopted an attitude
of ridiculing those who determined the quake was a sign of God's disfavor. They
simply rebuilt their factories and continued making pornography. In San
Francisco, men and women march with signs proclaiming "God is gay" even as the
earth quakes beneath them! They do no fall to their knees in repentance. To the
contrary they only laugh at those who believe the trembling ground to be a
divine wakeup call.
When judgments such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and floods no longer
cause us to humble ourselves and repent friend we are in serious trouble. The
Tribulation will be the full measure of God's wrath upon the earth. The end
result will be that God will "destroy sinners from off the earth." (Isa. 13:9).
The sins of the world are accumulating before God in the heavenly winepress.
When the winepress is full, then the vengeance of the revenger of blood will be
loosed upon planet earth and as Yeshua warned us in Matthew - if it were not for
the elect of God - NO FLESH SHOULD BE SAVED!
Isaiah 13:9 - Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and
fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof
out of it.
Rev. 14:19 - And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the
vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
The Ultimate Reason For God's Judgment Upon America And Planet Earth
Many people ask the question, why would God judge America? That question is so
often asked and so often answered in general terms. Sin is certainly the answer
but the Bible gives us specifics concerning reasons why God judges nations. The
most clear account of judgment in scripture is found in Genesis 19 concerning
the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. The men of Sodom were so wicked and vile in
their heart they banged on Lot's door and demanded he turn over to them the
strangers that had come into town, so they may have sexual relations with them.
The next morning the city and all its inhabitants were reduced to ashes. It
would seem pretty clear that God's judgment upon Sodom was over homosexuality
but a deeper reading of the Bible gives us FOUR specific sins that were rampant
in those cities that brought God's wrath upon them.
Ezekiel 16:49 - Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride,
fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters,
neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
It is very interesting that nowhere in this scripture is the sin "homosexuality"
mentioned even though we know from scripture that that evidently was a scourge
upon Sodom. The reason is that sexual perversion was not the ROOT of the problem
no more than sexual perversion is the root of America's problem. Homosexuality
is a root of a far deeper and more grievous problem in this nation that must be
rooted out if we are to survive another decade. These four sins in Sodom that I
believe are also very rampant in the USA were:
PRIDE
FULLNESS OF BREAD
ABUNDANCE OF IDLENESS
LACK OF COMPASSION FOR THE POOR AND NEEDY
Psalm 10:4 - The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Psalm 73:6 - Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covereth
them as a garment.
Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a
fall.
There is no room in the heart of the proud for God. To acknowledge we need God
and are fallible and in need is something a proud heart will never do. Pride
seduces us into think that we along can accomplish anything set before us. Pride
was what filled the heart of Nebuchadnezzar as he looked upon his capital city
Babylon and proclaimed, "IS NOT HIS GREAT BABYLON? that I HAVE BUILT FOR THE
HOUSE AND THE KINGDOM BY THE MIGHTY OF MY POWER and for the HOUSE OF MY MAJESTY.
(Dan. 4:30). The Bible says that while the words were still in his mouth he was
struck DUMB for seven years. The once most powerful man on the earth crawled
around on the ground like a common animal because of his pride and haughty
spirit.
There has been an arrogant sense even after 9-11 here in America that nothing
destructive or catastrophic will ever happen to us. Because judgment has tarried
due to God's infinite mercy and grace to give us space to repent (some 35 years
on this abortion issue alone) many has gotten the sense judgment will never
fall. Our forefathers declared
independence from a tyrant nation but the professed DEPENDENCE upon an ALMIGHTY
GOD and interdependence upon each other. Family and community were REAL words in
those days unlike they are today in this selfish society we live in.
Certain Bible teachers believe a prophetic word from the prophet Obadiah in the
3-4 verses of his tiny book may have prophetic implication for America:
Obadiah 1:3-4 - The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwells in
the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who
shall bring me down to the ground? [4] Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle,
and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down,
saith the Lord.
The eagle is the symbol of America. Even though America is not mentioned during
the Tribulation, this passage could very well be a warning to our nation about
her pride. This root is ugly and it is growing in our society. The Lord says
through Obadiah - "I WILL BRING YOU DOWN."
Fullness Of Bread
What was intended to be, and should have been, a blessing to a nation became a
sin. When God blesses us with things such as wealth, prosperity, etc. it is
human nature to stop being thankful for those blessings and allow pride to cause
us to misuse them. Sodom had "FULLNESS OF BREAD" - in other words, they ha an
abundance of food and wealth. Yet, it became a curse to them. They indulged
themselves in the abundance of their nation and forgot from whom these blessings
had come. Besides being sexual perverts and fornicators, they had become
drunkards and gluttons.
Deut. 21:20-21 - And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is
stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a
drunkard. [21] And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he
die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and
fear.
Proverbs 23:20 - Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
The word "glutton" is associated with the word "drunkard." Both flaws are
related to excessive living. It carries with it the notion of living with every
excess and having absolutely NO discipline or restraint. That is where America
finds herself tonight and it is where Sodom found herself before she was
destroyed. The fullness of our bread has become our curse. It has become a curse
to the American church. We have become so relaxed and at ease we no longer
depend on the anointing of the Holy Spirit to get the job done. We depend on our
material wealth and ability to make money. It's sad but Jesus is outside a
"RICH" church not welcomed in its midst yet we carry on business as usual.
Friend, those days are coming to an end rapidly!
The Abundance Of Idleness
In plain language this means "prosperity of peace." Sodom was wealthy, they had
fullness of bread, they were proud and as a result the deficit time spent in
labor compared to idle time became greater. In other words the wealthier they
became, the more luxury time they had. If a people were righteous that would
translate into more time with God and in communion and intimacy with our Savior.
For a wicked and proud people it becomes the inspiration to SIN MORE and indulge
ourselves into even more debauchery. America is in such a state tonight. But
America is in such a state tonight because her CHURCH is in such a state.
Neglecting The Poor And Needy
America has become a society that cares more for itself than for its fellow man.
Many Christians even have an attitude that because they pay taxes to the social
programs of the government their obligation to the poor and needy is met. In
other words, they do not want to be bothered with it. They are in a hurry to get
to the golf course, or perhaps, they don't have it to spare because we are
saving up for a new swimming pool or new deck. Jesus said that type person is
one who is FULL OF DARKNESS no matter what they are saying with their lips!
Luke 11:34
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single <"Good,"
Jewish New Testament meaning "generous">, thy whole body also is full of light;
but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
That was the spiritual condition of the Sodomites. It is also the condition of
America! We are not strengthening the hands of the poor and needy which I
believe to not just be the homeless but also the needy innocents among us - such
as the unborn - who have no voice to speak for themselves. We are using
them for political purpose and gain. Many so-called politicians who decry the
government's handling of the poor are the same men who would not give a beggar a
penny if he had $50 thousand in his pocket. THAT'S HYPOCRISY in the worst degree!
Neighbor, this nation is going down because of our pride which has led to an
abundance of idleness, and fullness of bread, which in turn we have not shared with the poor
and needy.
In our hypocrisy, we crusade ourselves to the world as a
humanitarian nation when we have shed innocent blood. You see, a proud an
arrogant nation immersed in revelry, absorbed with evil thoughts and
disinterested in the plight of their fellow man, sooner or later ALWAYS TURN TO
VIOLENCE! The men of SODOM were VIOLENT! These two angelic strangers
in Lot's house were not their "partners." They wanted to abuse these two. Had
they not been struck with blindness, they would have stopped at nothing to have
their way. That is where we are as a society. Our abundance and revelry has
created a nation of flesh junkies. There is nothing sacred anymore. There is
NOTHING that will prevent us from satisfying every CARNAL and animalistic desire
we can contrive - even to the sanctity of human life and that is the BLOOD
AMERICA has on its hands- HUMAN BLOOD and it's been shed for so many years now
we have grown callous and cold to the consequences of our actions.
With the protection
of federal law and under the political cover of "PRO CHOICE," the
results of the Roe Vs. Wade decision in 1973 has led to the murder of nearly
48.5 million children.These babies are not fetuses, they are not
tissue. They are living, breathing human beings created in the image of Almighty
God. The Lord told Jeremiah:
Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou
camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet
unto the nations.
Some total baboon for brains said on a website we
read just the other day that this verse does not imply that God meant Jeremiah
was a living organism when He stated this. That is the utter darkened babblings
of an apostate. God Himself settled the issue of whether an unborn baby is a human or not and
His call is "IT IS!" And neighbor the shedding of these innocent babies' lives are
going to be brought into account on America's charge one day before an Almighty
God in heaven. He has not forgotten a single one. Not one murdered baby when to
heaven nameless, the Lord has them written on the palm of His hand! Yeshua
warned us that to offend one of the "little ones" would be suicide for an
individual. He said it would be better for us to put a millstone around our neck
and cast ourselves in the sea.
But I want to address the church here.
I was in a church earlier in 2007 when the pastor there and I talked about this.
I said "do you ever talk about the abortion issue with your congregation?" He
looked at me dumbfounded and said "well we have too many material needs in our
congregation for me to waste my time harping about it; it's a dead issue now you
know." Umm, the loss of innocent life by the millions is a dead issue to
preachers of the gospel. That is how backslidden we've become behind the
American pulpits. No, abortion is not the only thing we should preach against
but if the world is not confronted with its sin by the church who will they be
confronted by? The government? No, the government has put its seal of approval
on this slaughter by legalizing such in 1973. The liberal press? No, because the
press here in America makes abortion into a political issue and paints those who
protest it as criminals; in God's sight this is not about being Democratic or
Republican; it's an eternal issue. Will the school system tell the world about
this? No, most school systems today are passing out condoms to our teenagers
instead of warning them of the consequences of having sex outside the bounds of
marriage and forsaking the responsibility of the child that inevitably is
created from sexual intercourse.
The Life Is In The Blood
Lev. 17:11 - The life of the flesh is in the blood
There are many mysteries and miracles associated with the birth and life. One
of those mysteries is the soul. The Bible says, "the life of the flesh is in the
blood." The Hebrew word for "life" is nephesh and many times it is translated
"soul." Therefore, Lev. 17:11 could be interpreted, "THE SOUL of the flesh is in
the blood." Blood is comprised of more than just red and white cells, DNA and
chromosomes. Blood contains an eternal life force, destined to spend eternity
somewhere. Our souls contains our consciousness, our pattern of thought and our
expression of it. God has given us the ability to express those thoughts through
words. Put simply, our soul has a voice. Likewise, our blood has a voice also!
When Cain killed Abel, God said to Cain, "Where is your brother?...THE VOICE of
your brother's BLOOD cries up to me from the ground." (Gen. 4:10). Hidden within
the Hebrew text is an interesting point. In the Hebrew text, the word "blood"
should actually be interpreted as "bloods," plural. It should read, "Thy
brother's bloods cry up to me from the ground." Most rabbinical commentaries
teach that, by using the plural form of the word, the Scripture conveys the idea
that Cain killed, not only Abel, but all of Abel's offspring that would have
been born had he lived. Therefore it is not only Abel's blood crying out to God,
but all of his descendant's blood cried out for vengeance as well. Thus, the
rabbinic adage:
"When a person kills one man, it is as if he has killed an entire world!"
Because so many refuse to care and have become so calloused, the carnage continues. While you have
read this article to this point- another innocent child has stained the
conscience of a backslidden nation in some federally protected abortion clinic.
To be frank it's been more than one child while you've read this. Abortion destroys many lives. It does not just destroy the life of the baby, but
it destroys the life of the woman AND the man who was involved in creating the
child. Some inherit physical scars, but most inherit emotional and mental wounds
from their choices to end a baby's life. Abortion does not only destroy the life
of one child, but every child who would have been born through that child's
lineage.
The Bible speaks often of the
shedding of innocent blood. In the Epistle of Hebrews the writer states that, "ABEL BEING DEAD YET SPEAKS." (Heb. 11:4). That verse
speaks of Abel's blood being a type of Yeshua's blood which would pay man's debt
of sin the cross. Abel's blood cried for vengeance, Ybut eshua's blood cried for
FORGIVENESS and healing! Oh, Praise God. But let us not forget that Abel's
innocent blood hit the ground CRYING to God for vengeance and those cries did
not go unheard!! God dealt with Cain the murderer in the harshest of ways in
response to his demonic act against Abel.
In the Tribulation, many innocent people will be killed by the forces of
Antichrist and the blood of those saints will come up before the Lord. Even now
in this time of history we live in the blood of THOUSANDS if not MILLIONS of
martyrs have come up to the Lord. One of the decrees of judgment during the
Tribulation upon the beast worshippers will be "you have shed the blood of
saints and now I have given you BLOOD to drink." The souls of the martyrs are
under Heaven's Sea of Glass. They are crying out to God as we speak, "HOW LONG?
HOW LONG?" Neighbor, that question is about to be answered soon and America does
not want to know the contents of the reply from our Heavenly Father.
Rev. 6:10 - And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
The voice of innocent blood has God's attention. God will not allow His
creation, fashioned in His own image, to be vandalized and thrown away like some
piece of trash. There is a price that will be paid. HE WILL BE THE REVENGER OF
INNOCENT BLOOD UPON THE EARTH AND UPON AMERICA!!!!!!
Numbers 35:19 - The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he
meeteth him, he shall slay him.
Numbers 35:21 - Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote
him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood
shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
America is headed towards
a meeting and collision with an angry God. Yes, He is a God
of love but it's this same quality of God (LOVE) that burns inside of Him a deep
passion for human life. When a person or a nation does not embrace that same
passion they will be destroyed period! The value of human life, young and old,
is far greater than anything this world has to offer. We must not be found
guilty of condoning murder, for God will exact a great price of the nation that
allows its children to be "passed through the fire." (Lev. 18:21)
Leviticus 18:21 - And thou shall not let any of thy seed pass through the fire
to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
One of the judgments in the Tribulation will be upon "Mystery Babylon." God will
take vengeance upon her because she has "shed the blood the saints and
prophets," and is "drunk" with the carnage of life. It is one of
things God literally "hates!"
Proverbs 6:34 - A proud look, a
lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Rev. 18:24 - And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of
all that were slain upon the earth.
And I submit to you today that America is as guilty
in the shedding of innocent blood as Babylon was and in the future will be in
the shedding the blood of prophets and saints. How many babies that were slain in
abortion clinics were destined to be preachers, prophets, teachers, evangelists,
apostles for God yet were never given a chance to make it out of their mother's
womb? How many Godly saints that would have brought America back to God with
their presence and testimony were butchered by some lost physician who cared not
what the word of God said about killing innocent blood. NEIGHBOR, this is the
millstone that America is about to pay a price for more than anything else in
her national conscience. Yes homosexuality is wicked. Yes, pornography is a
curse on the land. Yes, the high rate of immorality, sexual promiscuousness is
something that beggars description. But the ROOT cause of all these sins is
found in our blood-thirstiness to shed innocent blood.
Our
sports venues reek with it. People want to see blood. The price of an average
hockey game in America is $60 a PERSON! WHY??? Because the people in the
professional industry of hockey know Americans will pay whatever price to see
BLOOD. Neighbor, it's coming to an end soon and when it does we will be
only be able to pray for God's mercy upon those who are left in the wake of what
is coming.
Let me tell you this.
THERE IS NO CRIME COMMITTED AGAINST GOD THAT BRINGS SUCH A SWIFT AND VENGEFUL
RESPONSE AS DOES THE SHEDDING OF INNOCENT BLOOD AND THE MISHANDLING OF GOD'S
CHOSEN PEOPLE - THE JEWISH RACE!! Let those statements sink into your spirit and
heart. Look back at last fall prior to the events of September 11. On August 11,
30 days before the attacks our President agreed to fund stem cell research on
the tissues of dead embryos. These embryos were ones that was taken from women
who had killed babies during the Partial Birth Abortion process. It was on that
same day our President rebuked Israel for lacking restraint after a bombing at a
local pizza parlor in Jerusalem. Thirty days after a callous decision on human
life and a rebuke of Israel America suffered tragedy. And neighbor the tragedy
we suffered on September 11, 2001 was a walk in the park compared to what is
decreed against this nation if we don't repent and we don't repent QUICK. HEAR
WHAT I SAY TO YOU.
The Onslaught Of School Shootings
It is the belief of several prophetic people as
well as myself that the slayings and shootings across America's schools over the
past decade have been a direct result of America's abortion stand. We are a
violent nation. In Jonesboro, Arkansas, an 11 and 13-year old killed classmates
and teacher. In Littleton, Colorado, on the day of Adolf Hitler's birthday (how
sick is that?) two demon possessed teens killed 13 people. One of their victims
was a young woman, who was asked, "Do you believe in God?" When she said "YES",
and added, "you need to follow his path," they quickly shot her in the head. Her
blood cries out for vengeance! But neighbor not only her blood but our children
who have become so violent before our eyes rebuke us for the shedding of
innocent blood in the nation. THE REVENGER OF BLOOD prepares to go through this
land, and there is no place to hide. In April of 2007 we witnessed another demon
possessed young man shoot 31 people to death at Virginia Tech, turn the gun on
himself, then send a video that captured a cold, callous heart that held no
remorse for his demonic deeds. Eternity began for those 31 souls that day as it
begins for ALL who die.
China's Abortion And America's Future
Nita Johnson, a dear friend of ours, shared something with me recently that sent
cold chills up my spine. It started with a dream my wife Lisa had concerning our
son Caleb. The scene was post-nuclear after there had been a nuclear explosion.
Martial law had been declared. It was like people were scrounging for food and
clothes were torn. In the dream, Lisa and our neighbor were both pregnant. We
were hiding her along with Lisa because we knew it was against the law to have
any more children. Somehow the military police found out about her and they came
and drug her away. Lisa got away in the dream and was running and running and
running and running but they were after. It was here Lisa woke up in cold sweats
and fear.
I shared this dream with Nita Johnson a few months later and told her I didn't
understand it other than feeling God was sending a warning dream about something
future that is coming. Nita then shared with me a visitation she had had with
Yeshua Jesus Himself over 10 years ago when He came to her one night in the flesh and
told her that if America did not cease from killing babies that forced abortions
were coming upon this nation just as they are in CHINA! At the time Roe v. Wade
was about 10 years old and the blood letting had already hit in record numbers.
But we are 35 years now in the future of that and God only knows the numbers of
those butchered in the name of greed, and selfishness. NEIGHBOR THE REVENGER OF
BLOOD IS COMING! HE IS COMING and there is going to be retribution unlike we
have ever seen in this nation. We are going to reap what we have sown!
Biblical Examples Of Blood Revenge
The stories of the Old Covenant were given to us as examples. There are several
examples I want to briefly look at to show you a pattern of what happens when a
nation sheds innocent blood.
Egypt
Everyone knows from childhood the story of Egypt and the
Pharaoh. There arose a
Pharaoh that "knew not Joseph" (Ex. 1:8). The king feared the Hebrews would
become more powerful enough to sweep the dynasty he represented from power.
Like the evil demagogue who would follow him in history, he enslaved the Hebrew
people and forced them to live in the ancient equivalent of concentration camps.
Not satisfied with this, he came of up with the first ever version of the "final
solution." He demanded that all the midwives kill all newborn Hebrew males. For
fear of God, the midwives refused. Pharaoh then commanded:
Exodus 1:22 - And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born
ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
Apparently this began to happen because one Hebrew midwife hid her newborn son,
Moses, in the reeds of the Nile. There is no estimate of how many babies became
food for the crocodiles, but their BLOOD CALLED OUT TO GOD for retribution. Many
years later when the judgment began to fall, one of the FIRST things God's
judgment came upon was the NILE - the life source of all EGYPT. God turned the
rivers into BLOOD as if to illustrate to Egypt why He was there to judge.
Exodus 7:17-20 - Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the
Lord: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters
which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. [18] And the fish
that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians
shall lothe to drink of the water of the river. [19] And the Lord spake unto
Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters
of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon
all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be
blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels
of stone. [20] And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded; and he lifted
up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of
Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the
river were turned to blood.
The king of Egypt shed the blood of innocent Hebrew babies and the REVENGER of
BLOOD gave them blood to drink. This same type retribution will take place
during the TRIBULATION.
Rev. 16:6 - For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast
given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
God was not through. When it came time for Israel to leave Egypt God saved His
last judgment to fall upon the second source of Egypt's life - HER CHILDREN!
From every household, including the palace of Pharaoh, came wails of lament as
each family discovered the lifeless form of their firstborn child. Egypt had
been so UNCONCERNED for the sanctity of Hebrew life by tossing babies into the
NILE God returned it upon their heads.
Neighbor, where do you think America stands in this equation? It's a scary
thought!!
The Collapse Of Jericho
When Joshua and Israel crossed over the Jordan to take possession of the
Promised Lang, there was only one city where God caused the walls to fall down.
That city as we know was JERICHO. The question is why just this one city??
According to recent archaeological excavations and bible teachers, the remains
of Jericho showed a wall containing the bones of an infant. Evidently, the
inhabitants of Jericho were members of a religious cult which practiced ritual
sacrifice and offering their children to a pagan idol. After the child had been
sacrificed, they would place the body into a jar and enclose the vessel into the
city walls for "good luck." The blood of innocent children cried out from those
walls! That is why the REVENGER OF BLOOD brought Jericho DOWN!
Again, in light of America's dealings with her children, where do we stand with
God. Could it be that the destruction of our Pentagon last year was a sign to us
that our "defense" against those wanting to destroy us is as only good as our
faith in GOD? Not even the symbol of our strength could protect us from what
happened on September 11, 2001.
The Walls Of Jerusalem And A.D. 30
The Lord had commanded the children of Israel through Moses that "passing your
children through the fire," was forbidden. It is strange yet sad that one of the
wisest men in the world - SOLOMON - broke the command and allowed his children
to be offered up to MOLOCH and to be "passed through the fire." Some 400 years
later, the Babylonians surrounded the walls of Jerusalem and destroyed the city
- including Solomon's temple - burning it to the ground. Solomon used fire to
destroy children and when God allowed judgment to come upon the city, Jerusalem
was itself engulfed in flames.
During Jesus' day He warned Jerusalem through tears
that "upon you may come all
the RIGHTEOUS BLOOD shed upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to
Zacharias whom ye slew between the porch and the altar."
Matthew 23:35-37 - That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of
Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. [36] Verily I say unto
you, All these things shall come upon this generation. [37] O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, thou that kills the prophets, and stones them which are sent unto
thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Jesus said "RIGHTEOUS BLOOD." In other words, innocent blood. The slayers had no
justifiable reason to kill these godly people. Notice he also said "from Abel to
Zacharias." He was announcing the bloodshed of 4,000 years was coming upon one
generation and upon one city. They rejected light (YESHUA) and were plunged into
darkness. Within a generation, the words of Jesus came to pass for in A.D. 66,
the Romans laid siege to the city. Before it was over, mothers were eating their
children!. After three years of siege, the Roman legions breached the city's
fortifications and destroyed the wall. They entered in and set FIRE to the
Temple.
The Land Becomes Cursed When We Shed Innocent Blood - "For
they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place."
Jeremiah 7:31-34 - "for they shall
bury in Tophet, till there be no place."
America is going to reap a bitter harvest unless we repent. When 9-11 hit
there was such shock to our nation's soul that for a brief moment we stopped for
a moment and realized our priorities. Sporting events stopped, commercial events
stopped, Hollywood stopped, our entertainment industry stopped; all things
materialistic stopped as we realized how short life could end. It hit us that
another tragedy like the one on 9-11, except this time with nuclear weapons
could produce even greater tragedy. The Lord warned Judah that if it kept
shedding the blood of innocents that they would soon bury in Tophet, the place
of idol sacrifice, "till there be no place." That is a sobering and scary
thought when it relates to us today.
The Bible, God's Holy Word makes it clear. When innocent blood is shed and there is no repentance, then the land becomes cursed as God removes His hand of protection off of it. When this happens our enemies are given full sway to bring carnage and destruction that could cause such a loss of life we too in America would be burying the dead "till there be no place!" This law was established in Deuteronomy 21. If a man was found dead near a city, then the elders of that city had to go to the closest city and meet with the elders there. In the presence of witnesses, they were to slay a heifer, then take a bowl of water and wash their hands with the blood of the heifer mingling with the water. They then declared they were innocent of the blood of the slain man. If they refused this law, then the land was cursed by God.
That innocent blood be not shed in thy
land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be
upon thee.
Psalms 106:38 - And shed
innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they
sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood
Psalms 94:21 - They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
De 19:13 - Thine eye shall not pity
him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it
may go well with thee.
De 21:8-9 - Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast
redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the
blood shall be forgiven them. So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood
from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD
Three times Pilate declared Jesus innocent and just. He then washed his hands in
the presence of a crowd. Every Jewish member of that crowd that day knew the
importance of what Pilate was doing. They cried "HIS BLOOD BE UPON US and upon
our children." Because Yeshua was an innocent man, the land of Israel came under
a curse. In His compassion He prayed for forgiveness upon those who were guilty.
With this simple prayer Jesus removed the curse from these individuals but the
curse on the land remained intact. For the past 2,000 years the land has been
the scene of the most bloodiest conflicts ever known to man. More innocent blood
has been lost and shed (many Israeli lives) over this stretch of land than over
any other particle of land in the entire world.
Right now as I write this
record droughts have hit the Southeast, winter time tornadoes have destroyed
billions in property, raging forest fires in California just subsided about 2
months ago after charring hundreds of thousands of acres, recording flooding has
hit several big cities in America. At the same time America's enemies continue
to brazenly call for our destruction, along with Israel, and there seems to be a
growing concern our economy is about to go into a tailspin of unprecedented
proportions. As we write this the Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost nearly
800 points in 3 days! (January 16-18, 2008) When we wrote in a blog this past
fall that California's wildfires were tied to its governor signing a
pro-abortion bill that basically removed obstacles from women getting abortions
without penalty, we got slammed by several calling us hate-mongers and a whole
bunch of other names we can't write on this journal. Like it or not but if we
refuse to repent, the revenger of blood is coming to call into account America's
bloody past and the shedding of Innocent blood!
Deut. 19:10 - That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee
Deut. 19:13 -Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
Deut. 21:8-9 - Be
merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not
innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be
forgiven them. So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among
you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD
America's Walls Of Protection
The pattern has been established in scripture. Abortion is nothing more than
legalized murder. There is a fraction of adult society that things nothing of
physically and sexually abusing our children. The recent headlines concerning
the Catholic Church have told us this. But this is not just the scourge of the
Catholic Church. The sexual perversion of priests is a horrible by product of a
society gone mad with violence and the shedding of innocent blood. Sexual
perversion is just a result, a fruit, not the root.
America shall not escape
judgment no more than Israel escaped judgment for this same sin! It's recorded
in the Second book of Kings that Jehoiakim was subdued by Nebuchadnezzar for the
shedding of innocent blood during the time of Manasseh. Can we be so arrogant here in America to think we
will suffer any less fate?
2 Kings 24:4 - Surely at the commandment of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove them out of His sight, "for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did; And also for the innocent blood that he (Manasseh) shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
As a nation, we will face the same judgments
that God sent upon Israel unless we repent. The Lord would not pardon Israel's
sin because Israel refused to repent!!! Make so mistake that if we humbled
ourselves and threw ourselves at God's mercy right now He'd answer with revival
and blessing. That my friend is NOT even remotely close on the hearts and minds
of our leaders in Washington at the present time! Hear me neighbor. America is
headed for a time when she shall be ransacked as the ancient empires such as Egypt and Jericho. God's voice will allow
our hedge of protection, the walls around America, to fall violently. Just as
sure as the Shofar blasts FLATTENED the walls of Jericho, the voice of innocent
blood will bring the walls of our nation DOWN, make no mistake. Just as
Pharaoh's ARMY PERISHED IN THE WALLS of the Red Sea, so too will this mighty
nation feel God's wrath if we don't repent. The timing of this repentance is
KEY. Maybe 10 years ago we had space to repent - now it's either REPENT NOW or
perish! God has sent the warning judgment on September 11, 2001.The real
judgment is not far behind.
Naturally the walls of our nation are the east and west coasts of our country.
The judgment that shall come will be with water and fire! Storms will brew off
the waters off of both coasts. These storms will bring torrents of rain and
violent winds. This combination will erode and, in time, destroy much of the
coastal areas of America. In Sodom, it was the cities of the plain, the COASTAL
PLAIN, that felt the heat of God's anger!
The other extreme will be drought. And thirdly it will be FIRE. THINK OF WHAT I
AM SAYING TO YOU RIGHT NOW. In America on the 6th of July 2002 the leading
headlines of the day were: "Thousands Flee Flood Waters In Texas; Southern
California Dealing With Severe DROUGHT; and "Wildfires RAVAGE Western USA."
Neighbor is there any clearer signal we are being warned by God to repent???
In Closing, America's Children
Egypt's lust for control and power seduced them into thinking that that could
murder children and get away with it. They mingled innocent blood with the
waters of the NILE. Years later, God stirred up that blood and made them drink
of it. In the end it was upon Egypt's FIRSTBORN (the children) that God sent the
final judgment that delivered Israel.
Because Jericho did not hesitate to destroy the lives of innocent children for
the sake of their own lusts, God pronounced that the city and all its
inhabitants were CURSED. (Joshua 6:17). God instructed Joshua that NO ONE,
whether they be young or old, save the harlot Rahab should live. That means that
many of the inhabitants of Jericho saw the CHILDREN slain.
The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders partook of the ghastly ritual
that required the lives of their innocent children. These people were not
pagans, they were people who knew GOD! They had witnessed His mighty display of
power and might. How could they have possibly been seduced into thinking that
they could get away with this? They caused their children to "pass through the
fire." In the end Jerusalem BURNED in flames as the Babylonians and Romans laid
siege to her twice within 750 years of her history. (606B.C. and 30 A.D.)
Judgment is intended to bring people to REPENTANCE. If we don't turn from our
arrogance and sin we will suffer calamity. Hear what I say to you. This is not
the last journal addressing this issue but this is where I'm going to close
here. Neighbor it's getting LATE. It's getting more than late - we're in the
fourth quarter - the two minute warning has sounded. The SHOFAR has sounded -
the inhabitants of the land HAVE BEEN WARNED. You can turn a deaf ear to this -
laugh it off and make fun of it. But I believe if you have even made it this far
through this article you love God and are concerned about what He is saying. He
is saying to America- "YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS" and the REVENGER OF BLOOD
is about to visit us. We are reaping a horrible price through our children. If
we don't turn around soon - THEY WILL BE THE PRICE WE ULTIMATELY PAY.
It's time to repent, it's time to
take a deep look into our souls and see where we stand with God. On this
Sanctity of Life Sunday, 2008, it's time to take up a wailing for America and
lament in sackcloth and ashes for our condition. It's getting late neighbor and
it's harvest time!
Heavenly Father in your name we ask you to forgive us for shedding innocent
blood in America. We have sinned and made mockery of Your Word. Forgive us and
cleanse the land of our transgressions. Lord, we stand in the gap for America as
Daniel stood in the gap for Israel while she was in Babylonian captivity. We
have been given "confusion of faces" because of our sin - mainly the sin of the
shedding of innocent blood!" We plead the blood of Jesus over the hearts of our
leaders Lord. We plead today that You move on their hearts to strike down this
law that has made it legal for women to murder babies in their wombs. Lord, men
and women have sinned by having sex outside the bounds of marriage, committing
fornication and tried to cover their sin with the sin of murder and abortion.
God forgive us for such evil! Forgive this nation for making this issue a
political one instead of a spiritual one! Help us return to the preaching of the
Cross so men will know the right and only way to YOU! In Jesus name, AMEN.
A Few Quotes From Abortion Doctors In 2006:
"I have the utmost respect for life; I appreciate that life starts early in the womb, but also believe that I’m ending it for good reasons.... So yes, I end life, but even when it’s hard, it’s for a good reason." (1 -Boston Abortion Doctor
Special Section: Faith's Defense: Abortion
If you have had an abortion but now realize what you did was wrong and have repented, we want to hear from you about what the Lord has done in your life
We plan to post these testimonies on our site soon. We do not want to sound callous to those truly hurting over what the enemy has done; this message is directed at the arrogant and unrepentant who refuse to admit the evil of what they do. Our call is based out of LOVE, not hate, in hopes all men come to the knowledge of the truth before it is eternally too late. This is not just about the woman, but the MAN and the doctor too. ALL are guilty before God even though it's the woman who bears the most results from the violence perpetrated as the result of an abortion. Jesus Christ can set you free today from the hurt this decision and sin has caused you. Turn to HIM today for cleansing, mercy and grace. His forgiveness will take away the pain, the guilt, the shame and the suffering sin has brought. He shed INNOCENT blood that can cover the worst of sins today for those who will but believe and receive His grace and Mercy.
