Chapter 9:
 Abortion Is Sacrifice (& Murder)

The Power of Rituals

Charles H. Craft has written a truly awesome book on authority, "I Give You Authority." This book is in my Top Ten and every Christian in leadership should read this book to help understand the authority we have in Christ. His insight regarding "the Power of Rituals" is extremely timely and revealing for today. Because of its importance, I quote that section in its entirety:

"I Give You Authority: The Power of Rituals"

[Begin Quote]
Rituals such as sacrifice (in the Old Testament), worship and prayer seem to especially enable God or Satan. When God is honored through such rituals, enemy forces have to stand back and cannot carry out their purposes. When Satan is honored in these same ways, the forces of God are pushed back. Again, obedience seems to be the key. When we obey God by praying, worshiping, fasting and living faithfully by His commands, we grant Him authority to do what He wants in and through us. The same seems to be true on the other side.

A hierarchy of rituals, with accompanying increases of authority, seems to make things happen by spiritual power. Blood sacrifices are the most powerful kinds of sacrifices. Among pagan peoples, as well as with the Old Testament sacrificial system, we see this spiritual rule exemplified. The sacrifice of animals was at the low end of the scale of blood sacrifices. Much higher on the scale was human sacrifice; and near the top, the sacrifice of the heir to a king's throne. The clearest scriptural example of the enemy's use of this principle is recorded in 2 Kings 3:21-27, in which the king of Moab sacrificed his oldest son to the Moabite god of Chemosh on the city wall.

The sacrifice of Jesus, another Heir to a throne, was the most powerful sacrifice in all of history. It unleashed an incredible amount of God's power and has had cosmic consequences. But there were also immediate, lesser consequences stemming from the power unleashed at the sacrifice of Jesus. Among these: an earthquake, the rending of the Temple curtain and the emergence of many dead people from their tombs (Matthew 27:51-53). Another result, I believe, was the spiritual cleansing of Jerusalem so that such spectacular events as the coming of the Holy Spirit and the conversion of many could take place (Acts 2).

Below blood sacrifices, several other kinds of sacrifice involving food and drink can be used to enable either God or Satan. There are also various kinds of non-sacrificial rituals, including prayer, worship, fasting, Bible reading, meditating on Jesus, practicing intimacy with other Christians, giving, witnessing, sharing with those in need and many more. All these enable God to do more of what He wants to do, because they are done in obedience to His will.

Obedience in areas such as these is crucial to authority. The reason such obedience is so effective and important is that there is a rule in the spiritual realm that empowers it. When we pray, worship or fast, we tap into God's rules for the interaction between the spirit world and the human world to bring about the ends our Master seeks. Unfortunately, the same rule applies on the satanic side. Those who pray, worship, fast, meditate or share on the basis of an allegiance to Satan enhance his authority and help accomplish his ends.

(1) Kraft, Charles H., "I Give You Authority", Grand Rapids: Chosen, 1997, p.130-132

It's important to note the hierarchy of rituals with blood sacrifices being the more powerful. We could list the Sacrificial Hierarchy as such:

  1. Heir to Heavenly Throne (Jesus)
  2. Heir to Earthly Throne (or National Leader)
  3. Human Sacrifice
  4. Animal Sacrifice
  5. Other Kinds of Sacrifice, food & drink
  6. Non-Sacrificial Rituals: Fasting, prayer, worship, Bible reading, meditating, etc.

Fasting & prayer together seem to increase the power of ministry and warfare. But above that is animal sacrifice which was very prevalent in the Old Testament, especially for covering sins- the sins of Adam and Eve up to the Jewish Temple Sacrifices to cover the sins of the Jewish Populace. Animal sacrifice, and rituals with the internal organs of animals are still in use today by Satanists. Apparently, the more blood, gore and dismemberment, the more enabling empowerment for Satanic purposes. Many missing persons today are thought, by some, to be victims of Satanic Ritual Abuse or the more powerful Satanic Human Sacrifice. Hearing what they do to animals I would hate to think about what they might be doing to their human sacrifices.

Spiritually then, we can say that a sacrifice creates an enabling empowerment to do the will or work of the one being sacrificed to, and the higher the value of the sacrifice the more enabling empowerment to do that particular will or work. Human sacrifice is murder, the shedding of innocent blood and authored by none other than Satan himself:

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44)

It is also very important to note that the power of the sacrifice can be either to God or to Satan, depending upon the allegiance of the one making the sacrifice or the type of sacrifice being made. In the case of a believer, the sacrifice allows God to do his work through or for the believer. And in the case of a non-believer, Satan is authorized with that sacrificial power to do his evil work on the part of that non-believer. But in the case of sin, whether a believer or a non-believer, the allegiance of that enabling empowerment is going to be available for the will and work of the evil one.

However, these sacrificial lines can cross. An ungodly person can do something godly, such as pray and repent, and the life changing power of God can then pour into the ungodly person and make him into a godly person. The same is true from the believer's side. A godly person can do something ungodly, such as the sin of adultery, and the life shackling power of Satan can then pour into the godly person and make him ungodly. Again, the power and authority of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan can cross over into each other's territory here on earth and wreak havoc. Its like an ongoing war. And the war continues, whether we like it or not, believe it or not, are aware of it or not, or know all the rules or not. Fortunately, the Bible can give us some clarification and reveals the rules of engagement.

As noted above, there is a bundle of enabling empowerment through human sacrifice. Whether ritual or murder, the empowerment is the same. If the murder is with much blood, gore, and dismemberment is there more enabling empowerment as with Satanic animal and ritual sacrifice? If that is the case, then gore of Abortion and the value of the precious life that is being terminated cannot be ignored. Abortion, and Partial Birth Abortion in particular, will have horrific enabling empowerment for the will and work of the evil one.

If you were to go back in time to visit the Canaanites and stop the procession going up the hill to sacrifice a child to Molech, and tell them that in the eyes of the LORD they were sacrificing the child to the devil, or Satan, the Canaanites would probably just ignore you, and make you part of the sacrifice as well. They would probably also tell you that they didn't believe in the LORD, but rather their moon god (or whatever) and that by making the sacrifice they would receive victory, rain, happiness or whatever the god of the moment might happen to be. Satan would get his evil empowerment, do his evil deed, and leave the pagans to repay the coming atoning judgment that could cost them their lives, cities and even their nation. Their particular justification would not stop the coming judgment. In the eyes of the LORD of the Bible there was no justification for the shedding of innocent blood. In time the blood debt would be paid:

In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure." (Gen 15:16)

When a believer commits sin, that sin then counts for the purposes of the enemy. When that sin is murder, or the shedding of innocent blood, it is just that much more of an enabling and empowering of our enemy, Satan, to do his evil will and satanic work:

Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey-- whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? (Rom 6:16)

When a Christian commits Abortion, which is murder or Child Sacrifice, no matter what the reason, the result is the same. The murder sheds innocent blood, and the demon of the moment will get his evil empowerment, do his evil deed, and leave the Christians to repay the coming atoning judgment that will cost them their lives, and bring judgment to their cities and their nation. Unlike the Canaanites of time past, today we have the atoning forgiveness that is available through Jesus Christ, if and should we choose to accept it.

We know a couple, who years ago were fully Born Again and filled with the Spirit. They loved the Lord, no doubt about it. They had a thriving business, two children, and were very content with the way things were. Then they became pregnant and their happy world was tilting. To put their world back on even keel they decided to have an Abortion. At the time, we were blown away that a "Christian" couple would even consider such a solution. But in their minds and ignorance they had no idea that Abortion was murder in the eyes of the Lord. Like so many of us, they had been deceived by politicians into believing that murder, by a "mother's choice," is OK. By divine coincidence, we had a Keith Green tract on Abortion which we gave to the couple in turmoil and asked them to read it before making their decision.

The next day, the wife arrived at the Abortion clinic early and while waiting for her husband she read the tract, and was moved by the Holy Spirit. When her husband arrived he then read the tract as well. They repented together and left the clinic. Their beautiful daughter is loved and accepted every bit as much as their other two children. This couple was very emotionally moved and devastated by what they 'almost did'. When we were last with them, even several years after their close encounter, the thought was still emotional and their struggle at that time was whether they would ever be able to tell their daughter that she almost wasn't. This part is written through tears of joy and thankfulness with sweet memories of a growing young girl, so beautiful and precious, in our eyes as well as in the eyes of God.

The enemy is very wise, deceptive, and subtle and he knows how to use our strengths and weaknesses against us. We unknowingly cooperate with the evil one. The Lord was able to reach our friends and the sin was caught while still just a thought. Sadly, many others in the Body of Christ have not been as fortunate.

For those who have contemplated, or actually made this grievous choice, there is good news! If they confess the sin, then it's covered with the sacrificial blood of Christ and is washed away forever. The sin and abortion will be covered, but the pain and guilt will still need to be dealt with as well. "October Baby" is an awesome movie just released that deals wonderfully with some of these issues. "October Baby" is an absolute MUST SEE for anyone who has under gone any aspect, male or female, of the abortion trauma.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (I Jn 1:9)
"Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him." (Rom 4:7-8)

If you, or someone you know, has had an Abortion and is struggling through the recovery process, there are some wonderful abortion recovery counseling ministries that help walk women (and men) through the guilt, pain and sorrow. Many of the counselors have personally experienced an abortion themselves or been involved in someone else's poor choice. Three great resources for starters are:

Abortion Recovery International at www.abortionrecovery.org/
Ramah International at www.ramahinternational.org
Beauty For Ashes at www.beautyforashesministriesinternational.com/

Abortion is sin whether we recognize it as murder or not, and whether we are either a believer or a non-believer. But if there is no confession, then there is no forgiveness or purification, and the ramifications or judgments coming as a result of continuing in that sin will continue to mount:

If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
(Heb 10:26-27)

So if we continue in that act of sin, even though we may not believe the act to be a sin, the sacrificial enabling empowerment of that act will still continue to mount up to be used for the evil purposes of the enemy. Whether we believe it or not, or want it to or not. This is true regarding Abortion as well. A Christian may incorrectly believe, or may have been deceived into believing that “it’s OK for Christians to have an abortion or even support a ‘Pro-Abortion’ Politician.” No matter what we may want to believe, Abortion is the sin of murdering innocent unborn children, a sin from the pit of hell, and from the Father of Lies, Satan himself. What we want to believe doesn't matter. The choice isn't ours, but rather what the rules of God's spiritual realm dictate.

And at 56,000,000+ aborted in the United States, that creates more than just a bit of enabling empowerment for the enemy's work. This is not something that we should want to ignore. It is time to stand up and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and to contend for the faith.

In A Natural Sense: Abortion Is Sacrifice

From a human perspective, sacrifice, as defined by Webster:

  1. the offering of a plant, animal or human life or some material possession to a deity, as in propitiation or homage.
  2. something that is so offered.
  3. the surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher or more pressing claim.
  4. the thing so surrendered or devoted.
  5. a loss incurred in selling something below its value.

(For the purposes of this article we'll ignore numerous Baseball definitions.)

1.) In Abortion, an unborn human is being offered to any one of thousands of deities or idols regardless of what Pro-Abortion supporters might claim. But this issue is examined thoroughly in the following section, "In A Spiritual Sense: Abortion Is Sacrifice" so we'll skip over this particular definition for now.

2.) In Abortion, an unborn human life is the main offering. But occasionally the life of the mother is also offered or lost as well.

3.) In Abortion, human life is the prize that is destroyed for the sake of convenience or other worldly idols, such as image, life style, self-indulgence, time, money, or whatever is perceived as to be lost as the result of a new life entering one's world. There are thousands of worldly idols that are perceived to be of a higher value than the unborn child being sacrificed. Ask anyone who has had an abortion, if you can get them to come out of their closet. In the US there are 56,000,000+ justifications out there somewhere. In most cases physical and emotional pain and suffering, humiliation, mutilation and complications are also received in exchange for the child being aborted.

4.) As in the second, in Abortion, an unborn human life is the thing surrendered.

5.) In Abortion, there is a tremendous loss that occurs because as far as I know, no one has ever been able to realistically put a price on the value of a human life. We'll not even try since this definition, more than any of the others, speaks volumes by itself.

If we were only to use Webster's Dictionary, it would not be that much of a stretch, in a natural sense, to apply the term sacrifice to Abortion, even though some in the Pro-Abortion camp would strongly object to such an application. If any one of the above definitions were a fit, the application would be legitimate. In this application though, several of the definitions of sacrifice can be applied to Abortion. The 5th definition above, was typed out through teary eyes. Eyes, perhaps for the moment, seeing through the eyes of God.

In A Spiritual Sense: Abortion Is Sacrifice

Although sacrifice applies to Abortion in the natural sense, in this section, however, we're more interested in the spiritual application of sacrifice to Abortion. The Bible gives us plenty of perspective for this view, and is it very clear in voicing the LORD's view regarding murder, child sacrifice and the sanctity of life.

In order to be "doing what is good and right in the eyes of God" begins by obeying His commands and regulations, and seeing things as God sees things:

After the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself, "The LORD has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness." No, it is on account of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is going to drive them out before you. It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness of these nations, the LORD your God will drive them out before you, to accomplish what he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Deut 9:4-5)
Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your God... You must not worship the LORD your God [as unbelievers do], because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods... See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it. (Dt 12:28-32)

In the first passage above, the LORD twice emphasizes that it is because of the wickedness of these pagan nations He is going to drive them out of the land that He is giving to Israel. Their wickedness and detestable practices are bringing about their own judgment and destruction. And even though these nations "do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates" the LORD specifically mentions only one practice: They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods. "In the eyes of God, it seems as though even He cannot believe how decadent and despicable these nations have become and He is pointing out this detestable practice as one to specically avoid. Of all their wickedness, the sacrifice of their sons and daughters is the one detestable practice that catches his eye. If child sacrifice catches His eye then it should catch our eye as well because he is singling it our for our special attention as an example of a practice to avoid at all cost.

For these nations, human sacrifice was an acceptable and legal practice, and as culturally acceptable and natural to them then as prayer is to us today. But in the eyes of God, it did not matter what their cultural customs, constitution or local laws were. The LORD could even care less that the people regarded it as a legal denominational sacrament. Child sacrifice got His dander up and he did something about it. The LORD's judgment upon them was that they were to be exterminated. But when Israel went in they did not totally destroy these nations as they were supposed to have:

They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD commanded them, but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood. They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves. Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance. He handed them over to the nations, and their foes ruled over them. Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power. (Ps 106:34-42)

As mentioned, Israel, to their detriment, did not totally destroy these nations, and even more astounding is the fact that they tolerated the most detestable practice of all - child sacrifice. The one practice specifically mentioned by the LORD as a detestable thing which He hates. In this last passage the Psalmist also points out that the sacrifice of the children is to demons and is the shedding of innocent blood, which also desecrates the land. There are dozens of passages in the Bible that speak of a curse being associated with the killing of an innocent person. Do a search on "blood"- you will be amazed at what you see! The first mention follows here:

In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. (Gen 4:3-11)

Apparently Abel offered a blood sacrifice or offering, whereas Cain offering was fruits and veggies. In which case Cain should have offered to trade the best of his fruits and veggies to to Abel in exchange for some prime beef. Then Cain would be in a position to offer a blood sacrifice or offering that would have been pleasing to the Lord. Later, when the LORD sets up the Temple Sacrificial system those without sheep were to do just that. They were to go to the sheep growers and obtain a lamb without blemish for their Passover Meal. "But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you..."

The next three passages all mention the importance of not shedding innocent blood. The first and second also emphasizes that this is doing right in the eyes of the LORD, and the second and third point out that any such guilt must be purged from the nation:

This is what the LORD says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of his oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place. (Jer 22:3)
"Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it done. Accept this atonement for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O LORD, and do not hold your people guilty of the blood of an innocent man." And the bloodshed will be atoned for. So you will purge from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD. (Deut 21:6-9)
Do this so that innocent blood will not be shed in your land, which the LORD your God is giving you as your inheritance, and so that you will not be guilty of bloodshed... Show him no pity. You must purge from Israel the guilt of shedding innocent blood, so that it may go well with you. (Deut 19:10-13)

In the eyes of God, child sacrifice and the shedding of innocent blood are very detestable and will be judged harshly. For our nation today, Abortion now is very much like child sacrifice was then.

Both abortion and child sacrifice:

  1. are murder and the shedding innocent blood.
  2. from the pit of hell and are deceptively perpetuated upon the people.
  3. enable empowerment for the will and work of the evil one.
  4. result in judgment and destruction to the indulging people, cities and nations.
  5. are the surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher or more pressing claim.

The higher pressing claim for child sacrifice back then may have been for an idol of war for victory, or rain god idol for more water for crops. The higher pressing claim for abortion today might just be the idol of some type of convenience.

In the Eyes of God, there appears to be enough spiritual equivalence to say that: Abortion is Child Sacrifice - to Satan, to Demons!

Although abortion is not specifically mentioned in scripture, in the eyes of God, if abortion or partial birth abortion were mentioned if would be even more reprehensible to God than child sacrifice. And what the LORD might say regarding an abortionist, in particularly a partial birth abortionist, we can only imagine:

There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. (Prov 6:16-19)

But whatever the LORD might say regarding an abortionist, one thing is for sure: Until the coming judgment begins, there is still time for even the partial birth abortionist to come to his senses and repent, and wash the innocent shed blood of the unborn off of his hands with the innocent shed blood of our Lord and Savoir, Jesus Christ!

In the United States, one atrocious and glaring inequity of the laws of our legal system is the inequality of justice of one who indulges in the sport of dog fighting versus one who indulges in the performance of an abortion. Michael Vick recently underwent the wrath of society and spent time in prison for his involement in dog fighting, which is happening in nature millions of times per day with animals attacking, killing and eating other animals.  An abortionist, on the other hand, has the legal right the shred the body of a living unborn child, limb by limb, organ by organ, without anesthesia or first uthenizing the poor unborn child first. Even in Capital Punishment the condemned are treated humanely, and not shredded alive. Be involved in dog fighting and go to prison. Should we arrest and imprison game wardens that allow preditory animals to attack, kill and eat their their prey - even filming and showing these attacks on the National Geographic channel for our viewing enjoyment? (And NO, I'm NOT an animal rights person - animals have no rights other than being our food and clothing - pets aside) Be an Abortionist, on the other hand, and you can slaughter unborn living children and our society will pay you big bucks and make you a pillar in the community. An abortionist is really nothing more than a legalized serial killer, who tortures living unborn children to the death! God Bless America? - How can He? Our judgment is imminent.

In both abortion and child sacrifice the immeasurable value of the precious child, born or unborn, that is so offered is sacrificed for literally nothing of value in return. The return on investment for the sacrificial child is judgment to both the parents, city and nation because the sacrifice must, and will be atoned for!

 

Abortion Brings Tribulation Judgment

Number Of Abortions Performed Worldwide

The following numbers were obtained from The Abortion Index at The Movement for a Better America.org (May 2012).

Number of babies aborted throughout the world since World War II: 1.5 billion +

Number of babies aborted annually worldwide: 50,000,000

Total number of abortions in the United States 1967-2011: 54,900,000

Top 3 countries in number of abortions annually:
    1. Red China -- 11,000,000
    2. Former Soviet Union -- 6,000,000
    3. The United States -- 1,250,000 (Projected 2011)

Every single aborted child must be atoned for. Someone will pay the price for each and every one of these children.

Wrath and Tribulation Cleansing The Earth

After the flood, God made it very clear that each and every one of us would be held accountable for the shedding of blood:

 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.

"Whoever sheds the blood of man,
by man shall his blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made man. (Gen 9:5-6)

Old Testament passage regarding the Great Tribulation, and a hint to a Pre-Wrath Rapture:

Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you;
    hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.
See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling
    to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her;
    she will conceal her slain no longer. (Isa 26:20-21)

Even Paul emphatically reminds us that our human body is a temple of God and that anyone who destroys this living temple of God will be destroyed by God:

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple." (1Cor 3:16-17)

God will not be mocked and He will not forget! Destruction of those who destroy a living temple of God, a human body, is further promised in the Book of Revelation:

He who has an ear, let him hear.
    If anyone is to go into captivity,
        into captivity he will go.
    If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
        with the sword he will be killed. (Rev 13:9-10)

If anyone is guilty of involvement in any aspect of Abortion, this one verse forewarns of Tribulation Judgment: "If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed.  Involvement in any and every aspect of the despicable issue of Abortion must and will be atoned for!

God is there when every unborn child becomes a living being:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
   I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Ps 139:13-14)

It is God who first knits us together, or more appropriately, first zips our first strand of DNA together. A half strand of DNA from the father's sperm is zipped together with a half strand from the mother's egg to produce the first full strand of DNA of the unborn child. God's Spirit was there for creation of the inmost being of every unborn child and continues live in this growing and thriving sacred living temple of God. We are ALL created be sacred living temples of the living God.

Though Adam's first strand of DNA was not zipped together as ours were, was the Spirit of God there when Adam's first molecule was created from dust or when Eve was later fashioned from Adam's rib? (When you see pictures of Adam and/or Eve do you ever see a belly buttton?) Or Melkizedek, or Jesus? God's Spirit was with every created being from our first molecule on and continues to live in every living temple of God up until we shed this tent and it's shredded back to the dust from which it came. We must be careful that never condemn even the smallest living sacred human life to abortion.

 

Abortion Is Sacrifice (Murder) - And Must Be Atoned For

Many of the passages in this section point out the importance of doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD, particularly regarding the guilt of shedding of innocent blood, so that all will go well for us, and our families and no judgment will come upon us or our nation. "All bloodshed will be atoned for:"

If a man is found slain, lying in a field in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him, your elders and judges shall go out and measure the distance from the body to the neighboring towns. Then the elders of the town nearest the body shall take a heifer that has never been worked and has never worn a yoke and lead her down to a valley that has not been plowed or planted and where there is a flowing stream. There in the valley they are to break the heifer's neck. The priests, the sons of Levi, shall step forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to minister and to pronounce blessings in the name of the LORD and to decide all cases of dispute and assault.

"Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it done. Accept this atonement for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O LORD, and do not hold your people guilty of the blood of an innocent man." And the bloodshed will be atoned for. So you will purge from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD. (Deut 21:1-9)

The Elders of all of our cities and communities need to get together and do this as well. Little towns, big towns, cities, counties, state capitols, and of course our national Capitol. The guilt of 56,000,000+ million plus innocent unborn is spreading rather thickly over our entire nation. We must purge ourselves, and our nation, of the blood guilt of abortion, or Child Sacrifice, because at some point, it will need to be atoned for. The prophet, Jeremiah records:

As for me, I am in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right. Be assured, however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing." Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, "This man should not be sentenced to death! He has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."
(Jer 26:14-16)

On the Sacrificial Hierarchy List, the prophet probably rates up there with the Heir to an Earthly throne, and seem to receive special atoning judgment. Regarding the innocent blood of prophets, Jesus says:

So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!

"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" (Matt 23:31-39)

And sure enough, a few years later Jerusalem was completely destroyed.

When a murder, or sacrifice, is committed there is a release of enabling empowerment to do the work of the enemy, and the amount of empowerment seems to be proportionate to the importance of the one being sacrificed. In the case of the sacrifice of an unborn child they might make up for what they lack in importance with the purity of their precious unborn lives. But whatever the amount of empowerment being released there seems to be an equivalent, or proportionate amount of atonement required in return. The enemy has the immediate rights to enabling empowerment for his will and work, but God, in his patience, grace and mercy, has delayed, for future rights to atone for that same innocent blood that was shed.

And talk about atonement for the shedding of innocent blood:

When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." "What is that to us?" they replied. "That's your responsibility." So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. The chief priests picked up the coins and said, "It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money." So they decided to use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. (Matt 27:3-8)
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!" ...he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. (Matt 27:24-26)

When All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!" I'm sure they had no idea whatsoever what they were asking for, because had they really known who Jesus was they would not have had Him nailed to the cross. Later the High Priest even tried to deny their guilt regarding Jesus' blood (Acts 5:28). But deny may they try, truth is truth. The Jewish people have suffered tremendously during the last two thousand years, and most of their suffering probably has to do with the atoning factor of his innocent blood. But it's not over yet, regarding Jerusalem there is still much more to come. Hitler was just a warm-up :

The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia. (Rev 14:19-20)

That's a lot of blood flowing, a lot of atonement coming down upon them as a people. The blood flow against Israel will only stop when, as Jesus says above, "For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'" (Matt 23:39). When the Jewish people finally recognize Jesus for who He really is - their Messiah, the blood flow will stop and He will return. I believe, like many, that that prophecy is the final prophecy to be fulfilled before Jesus returns. If the Jewish people were to make that confession today we would not have to go through the Tribulation. But that won't happen, because the major purpose of the Tribulation is to get the Jewish people to make this confession. And Satan knows that if he can kill all the Jews before they make this confession, then Jesus can't return and take possession of the earth. That's also why Satan was so intent on killing the Jews through Hitler.

Many times, we Christians seem to forget the Old Testament is just as valid as the New Testament when it comes to Biblical truth. Jesus did not do away with Old Testament teachings, or the Ten Commandments. We do not have the freedom to comit adultery or kill:

 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
(Mt 5:17-20)

"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca, ' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell." (Mt 5:21-22)

"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell." (Mt 5:27-30)

If anything, the Old Testament teachings are now taken to a higher level when it comes to the truth that is being revealed. Originally, one was guilty in the Old Testament for actually performing a sin, whereas now, through the above revelation of Jesus, one is guilty for the serious thought of sin as well as the actual performance of the sin.

The innocent blood of 1,500,000,000 aborted children needs to be atoned for with either the atoning judgment that is coming through the Great Tribulation, or the atoning forgiveness that is readily available through repentance, confession, and washing through the shed Blood of Jesus. But even more awesome and powerful than the atoning judgment of Jesus' blood is the atoning forgiveness of Jesus' blood, because the atoning forgiveness is able to cover the atoning judgment. Now that's power! But it only covers sin that is confessed.

We cannot ignore the Ten Commmandments, or any of the Old Testament teachings.

If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed. Like the nations the LORD destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God. (Dt 8:17-20)
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD... You must be blameless before the LORD your God. (Deut 18:10-13)

In the following passage license is taken to replace Israel with the United Sates, which like Israel, was also formed under Divine Providence:

"Say to [America]: 'Any [citizen] or any alien living in [the United States] who gives any of his children to [Child Sacrifice] must be put to death. The people of the community are to stone him. I will set my face against that man and I will cut him off from his people; for by giving his children to Molech, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. If the people of the community close their eyes when that man gives one of his children to [Child Sacrifice] and they fail to put him to death, I will set my face against that man and his family and will cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves to [Child Sacrifice].
...Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
(Lev 20:1-8)

Child Sacrifice is so detestable in the eyes of God that He destroyed nations, and He hammered Israel. Are we so prideful and arrogant as to think that judgment will not come upon the United States for such wickedness?

On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated it. That is what they did in my house.
(Ezek 23:35-39)

Let the above not be said of us, but since we in the United States seem to be living and acting like the Laodicean Church (Revelation 3), we are probably doing the same. If it's too late to repent or turn and escape the coming judgment, then perhaps we should be praying the following prayer to preserve us through the Great Tribulation:

O Lord, If it's too late to repent as a city, state or nation, then by your Spirit, allow us to buy from you gold refined in the fire; and white cloths to wear, so we can cover our shameful nakedness; and salve to put on our eyes, so that once again, we can see.

Amen...

Abortion Is Murder -  And You Have NOW Been Made Aware

The laws of our nation, regarding abortion, are currently being changed, again. First, in 1973 there was a landmark Roe v. Wade decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States generally protects the liberty to choose to have an abortion and struck down many state and federal abortion laws. And now recently, on June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned that Roe v. Wade decision and precedent. The new ruling basically states that a person's choice regarding abortion is not a constitutional issue and that laws regarding such should be established by people's state elected representatives. On a state level, just over half the states are banning abortions all alltogether and the remainder have various laws allowing abortions up to anywhere from 24 weeks to 9 months. Therefore, the Pro-Life v. Pro-Choice battle will continue to rage on, but now at the state level. Bible believing believers need to continue to stand and speak for the unborn living temples of God who can not yet speak for themselves. If the unborn were able to speak for themselves, how many do you think would actually volunteer to be painfully shredded alive just so their apparentl non-loving parent can live a more convenient life? Not many!

During one the final 2016 Presidential debates, between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, Mike Wallace was hammering Donald Trump wanting to know whether Trump wanted to over turn Roe v. Wade if he became President. Donald Trump finally answered by saying if he became President he would appoint two or three conservative Supreme Court Justices, and in time the Supreme Court would over turn Roe v. Wade and return the abortion issue to the states to decide. When Trump made that election promise I lockeed in my vote for him. Previously, I did not care that much for him, but was going to vote for him because I could not stand Hillary Clinton, an evil World Economic Forum puppet. Trumps campaign promise earned my vote and my single vote got Trump elected. Trump kept his campaign promise and appointed THREE conservative Supreme Court judges. I don't know about your vote, but my single vote hit the jackpot!

After Roe v. Wade was overturned President Trump was quick to give God the credit, and rightfully so. But President Trump does deserve some credit as an awesome tool in the hand of God. But President Trump will be back as Almighty God is not finished with him yet (research Patel Patriot & Devolution).

Some Christians are always quick to say that we Christians should never judge one another! My first question would be, Why? What are they afraid of? Paul writes to the Corinthian Church that we are to judge, even to the extent of expelling believers from the church and into the clutches of Satan in order to destroy the wrong doers sinful nature. Brutal, but scriptural!

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife. And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this? Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.  (1 Cor 5:1-5)

These are believers, or virgins, who have little oil in their lamps and who will be left behind at the rapture to be further purified through the Great Tribulation. If Paul were to be among us today with horrendous abortion as ramped up and acceptable in many of our churhes as it is, I believe Paul would certainly be sending out dozens of letters (like this chapter) to churches in New York, California, and many other states and nations.

In California, the State Assembly just passed AB 2223 which will also probably pass the Senate and be signed into law by Governor Newsom, which approves abortions not only through the 3rd trimester, but also after birth in what are called “perinatal deaths.” Assembly Bill 2223 by Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland), is an abortion bill misleadingly labeled “Reproductive health,” which actually seeks/sought to legalize infanticide to expand the killing of infants past the moment of birth up to weeks after. These demonically inspired tyrannical Democrats are as evil as evil gets.

When we hear or learn about a wrong that is being done in the eyes of the Lord, we are accountable and responsible for doing something about it! Old Testament laws, as well as New Testament commands, are still in affect and were not done away with when Jesus went to the Cross. Our method of atoning for sin is all that has changed. Instead of sacrificing bulls, lambs, goats or doves to apply the sacrificial blood to cover the sin, we apply the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ to cover the sin through confession and forgiveness (1 Jn 1:9). But the other principles of OT law remain the same. For instance:

"'If a person sins because he does not speak up when he hears a public charge to testify regarding something he has seen or learned about, he will be held responsible... Or if a person thoughtlessly takes an oath to do anything, whether good or evil-- in any matter one might carelessly swear about-- even though he is unaware of it, in any case when he learns of it he will be guilty. When anyone is guilty in any of these ways, he must confess in what way he has sinned and... the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.
(Lev 5:14-6)

We are still accountable and responsible to act and do what is right in the eyes of the LORD. As the passage says, we are to speak up and do our part when we see or learn of sin in the community. The passage also mentions oaths that may be taken. Too many of our Politicians, Public Officials and other Leaders have placed their right hands on the Bible, and sworn oaths. The God of the Bible is holding them accountable and responsible to honor their sworn oaths, as well as to do what's right in His eyes.

And again regarding Leaders, Politicians, and Public Officials:

The LORD said to Moses: "If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the LORD by deceiving his neighbor about something entrusted to him or left in his care or stolen, or if he cheats him, or if he finds lost property and lies about it, or if he swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that people may do-- when he thus sins and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to him, or the lost property he found, or whatever it was he swore falsely about. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day he presents his guilt offering. And as a penalty he must bring to the priest, that is, to the LORD, his guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for any of these things he did that made him guilty." (Lev 6:1-7)

We have entrusted our Politicians, especially the Christian Politicians with TRUST, and too many of them have, either intentionally or unintentionally, deceived their district neighbors into believing that murder, by a mother's choice, is OK. They need to make restitution in full by doing away with these demonic laws allowing Child Sacrifice!

We now charge them publicly, before God and man, to do what's right in the eyes of the LORD! They have no excuse or justification to do otherwise. Ignoring this charge is not going to make it go away.

When we cast our vote for a political candidate we testify that we are in complete agreement with that candidate and fully support ALL that he, or she, has done, is doing, or will do ON OUR BEHALF! But we, the people of this great nation, refuse to admit that we are accountable, before God, for the actions of any person that we have voted into public office! If we were to even vote for the typical Democratic candidate - the Democratic Platform is Pro-Abortion, a Pro-Abortion Republican candidate, or any candidate who votes in the past, present or future, for Pro-Abortion legislation, we are accountable and therefore have a share of the abortionist blood on our hands as well. (We are just as accountable for voting in Pro-Homosexual candidates, who are out to destroy Biblical family values by pushing the demonic Homosexual Marriage agenda.) Democratic voting Christians are in for a tough read here, but I'm merely sharing the scriptural teaching and truth regarding what the Bible says about anything to do with the issue of Abortion.

Priests, Pastors, Elders and Ministry Leaders are also now aware and must do their parts as well. Until now, their sin has been unintentional, but now it becomes intentional and they are in defiance of the command of God if they do or say nothing! (Num 15:29-31) Their sin of ignorance brings guilt on the people as well, because they should know better:

The LORD said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites: 'When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands-- "'If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed...[you know the drill]. (Lev 4:1-3)
When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the LORD his God, he is guilty. When he is made aware of the sin he committed, he must [make a blood guilt offering] In this way the priest will make atonement for the man's sin, and he will be forgiven. (Lev 5:22-26)

Our towns, cities, counties, states and nation have much cleanup ahead. Again, up to now, our national sin of Child Sacrifice has been unintentional because we have bought into the deception of Satan that has been perpetuated through our Pro-Abortion Politicians. But now that we have been made aware of the matter, we must repent and remove these evil abortion practices from our land:

"'If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, even though the community is unaware of the matter, they are guilty. When they become aware of the sin they committed, the assembly must [sacrifice blood offerings]. In this way the priest will make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven... This is the sin offering for the community. (Lev 4:13-21)

Citizens, members of community of believers, or congregations are now aware as well. Any of their involvement such as indulging in abortion, voting or supporting Pro-Abortion Politicians with either time or money, must be dealt with. Even now that they have read and aware of what's required, they are guilty of not acting:

If a member of the community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, he is guilty. When he is made aware of the sin he committed, he must [make a blood sacrifice for a sin offering] In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven. (Lev 4:27-35)
The LORD said to Moses: "When a person commits a violation and sins unintentionally in regard to any of the LORD's holy things, he is to bring to the LORD as a penalty a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel. It is a guilt offering. He must make restitution for what he has failed to do in regard to the holy things, add a fifth of the value to that and give it all to the priest, who will make atonement for him with the ram as a guilt offering, and he will be forgiven. "If a person sins and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, even though he does not know it, he is guilty and will be held responsible. He is to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the wrong he has committed unintentionally, and he will be forgiven. It is a guilt offering; he has been guilty of wrongdoing against the LORD." (Lev 5:14-19)

This bares repeating, "If a person sins and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, even though he does not know it, he is guilty and will be held responsible." And not only must we repent, but as the passage says, we must make restitution as well. What does that look like?

Pro-Abortion Politicians, Public Leaders and Officials, Ministry Leaders and Officials, and Christians everywhere are now aware of what's required in the eyes of God. And what may have been unintentional sin has now become intentional if one moves on and ignores this information:

One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether he is a native-born [believer] or an alien. "'But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people. Because he has despised the LORD's word and broken his commands, that person must surely be cut off; his guilt remains on him.'" (Num 15:29-31)

For those who are Pro-Abortion, or for Child Sacrifice, and read these scriptures and ignore this information must be warned that the Lord God almighty has taken notice that you are now aware of what is right in His eyes. If you ignore this information and do not do your part to eliminating these Satanic laws of Abortion, or Child Sacrifice YOU ARE IN DEFIANCE!

The LORD Says:

  1. YOU are in defiance!
  2. YOU are blaspheming Him!
  3. YOU are despising His Word!
  4. YOU are breaking His commands!
  5. YOUR guilt remains on YOU!
  6. YOU must surely be cut off (KILLED)!

If you choose, YOU can run from God, but you cannot hide:

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Heb 4:12-13)

If you are on the WRONG side of God regarding Child Sacrifice, just remember that the sooner you repent and confess your sin, the sooner He can cleans you of ALL unrighteousness, and the more time available to get out from under the coming judgment and minimize its impact on you, your family, your city, your state and nation.

If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
(I Jn 1:6-10)
