God and Abortion

Several years ago God revealed that He, Himself, is victimized by abortion. The following unfolds this truth and the serious consequences.
The Attack
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5). What then does God experience in an abortion? It is like a mother nursing a child and an intruder breaks in ripping the baby in pieces as she watches in horror. How great is the pain, anger and torment?
Invasion of the Holy of Holies
The abortionist invades the “holy of holies” of a mother’s womb, ripping the baby from God’s arms, dismembering the child in His face. This is an act of devil worship. How does God feel being victimized 50 million times…and counting?
Jesus Get’s Angry
Jesus became enraged at the money changers at the temple (John 2: 14, 15). He beat them and drove them out. He also became enraged at those who supported the moneychanger’s desecration by buying from them. Mathew 21:12, 13
If Jesus became so angry at those who defiled His temple made of stones by man’s hand, how great is His anger at a nation who destroys His living temples made in His image in whom His Spirit dwells? (John 1:7)
Jesus Confirms the Victimization and the Accountability
When Jesus told the disciples in helping the needy they were helping him (“I was hungry and you fed me, naked and you clothed me.” Matthew 25). The gospel of John says that He is the light that gives life to everyone. Thus, Christ gives life to the child in the womb. An abortion not only destroys the child but by relation Jesus Himself experiences the atrocity.
What does He think of those who do nothing ? According to Matthew 25 those not doing anything to help the afflicted were thrown into eternal judgment.
The Early Church
Many think abortion is a contemporary issue. Not so. The early church confronted this problem and did so effectively.
“You shall not slay the child by abortions”
Didache 1st century book of apostolic teachings
“We acknowledge, therefore, that life begins at conception because we contend
that the soul begins at conception. Life begins when the soul begins.”
Tertullian, 3rd century Church Father
Remember RU486 abortion pill? Not so new.
In the 7th century A.D. the Church spoke directly to the fact that there were poisons women could take to induce an abortion.
“…those who take fetus-killing poisons, they are made subject to the penalty for murders.”
6th Ecumenical Council, Canon XCI (681 A.D.)
Cain and Abel—America and Abortion
When Cain slew Abel, God heard his blood cry out. God placed a horrendous curse on Cain for the murder. If God heard the voice of one innocent family member’s blood how loud is the cry of the blood of 50 million aborted children. If God exacted such a grievous penalty on Cain, how great is the judgment awaiting those by whom the blood of 50 million aborted children cry.
The Supreme Judge of the World
The Founding Fathers understood the authority of God i.e. “The Supreme Judge of the World”. When they wrote the Declaration of Independence they referred to God as the Supreme Judge of the World possessing standards of right and wrong with consequences of blessing or cursing.
This appeared in the last paragraph. This places all they just said they were going to do, why and their justification. The last paragraph is the capstone under which all preceding is governed.
Abortion violates the standards and morals of the Supreme Judge of the world taking the nation from under His protection to judgment. Even so, God is longsuffering waiting for the nation to repent
Jesus Physically Experienced the Same Effects of an Abortion.
When Jesus was scourged it tore the flesh off His body. In abortion the child is likewise ripped to death. What does Jesus say to the Church for whom his body was mutilated and destroyed who keep voting for candidates who support abortion ?
How great is His anger toward the Church and nation who actually supports abortion of the innocent and His victimization? Can we hear Christ say “wasn’t once enough?”
