The Remnant

After the Day of the LORD when God releases His wrath, His remnant will be given the spoils of the world. Who are they?

Read the whole book of Zephaniah.

3:12 "But I will leave among you
A humble and lowly people, [like Moses?]
And they will take refuge in the name of the LORD."

3:19 "Behold, I am going to deal at that time
With all your oppressors,
I will save the lame
And gather the outcast,
And I will turn their shame into praise and renown
In all the earth."

Psalm 94 God of vengeance

O LORD, God of vengeance;
God of vengeance, shine forth!
Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
Render recompense to the proud.
How long shall the wicked, O LORD,
How long shall the wicked exult?
They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly;
All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.
They crush Thy people, O LORD,
And afflict Thy heritage.
They slay the widow and the stranger (sojourner),
And murder the orphans.
And they have said, "The LORD does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."

Pay heed, you senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, stupid ones?
He who planted the ear, does He not hear?
He who formed the eye, does He not see?
H who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,
Even He who teaches man knowledge?
The LORD knows the thoughts of man,
That they are a mere breath.

Blessed is the man whom Thou dost chasten, O LORD,
And dost teach out of Thy law;
That Thou mayest grant him relief from the days of adversity,
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
For the LORD will not abandon His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
For judgment will again be righteous;
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

If the LORD had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
If I should say, "My foot has slipped."
Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Thy consolations delight my soul.
Can a throne of destruction (tribunal) be allied with Thee,
One which devises mischief by decree?
They band themselves together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn the innocent to death.
But the LORD has been my stronghold,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
And He has brought back their wickedness upon them,
And will destroy them in their evil;
The LORD our God will destroy them.

The Aborted will be Avenged

THE MANASSEH JUDGMENT

IS INEVITABLE
BUT
DELAY-ABLE
BY THE JOSIAH GENERATION...





God's wrath was kindled against abortion the day it was legalized.

How long ago was that? How hot is that fire now?

Introduction
Abortion debate is emotionally charged. Why? Because the life of the mother is important and the life of the baby is important. Arguments are based on whatever principle the holder esteems. After years and years of following the debates, I realized I didn't know how God viewed abortion. So I did a simple word study. Searching for words can be fun.


Fortunately, in 1890 Dr. James Strong did a complete word search of the entire Bible. A list was made of every time each word was used. It took him 35 years with the help of more than 100 friends. The published word search is called a concordance. I came across a new computerized version (on sale) called The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Of The Bible. So I looked up the words "fire" with sons, which led to shedding "innocent" blood, and then finally, God's "wrath".

Don’t be put off by the results of the word study coming from the Old Testament. Jesus talked in parables and as I read through the New Testament I saw the same principles applied resulting in future consequences. Because abortion is now legal and profitable, it is a national issue and God the Father deals with nations differently than the individual. It’s a sociological thing. In Genesis 9:6 after God killed all of mankind because of their sin, except for Noah, God said, “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.” So God will use men to avenge the deaths of the innocent unborn images of God, eye for an eye, limb for a limb.
The results of this word study blew me away. You may want to do it yourself before you read this. It is time consuming but once I started I couldn’t stop. I wrote out all the verses, and most of the relevant preceding verses, so you could get a good grasp of context. If you don't have a Bible there are websites (keyword "online bible") that have all versions online. (You have no excuse not to read the greatest book ever communicated. Start with John's books, then Matthew, Mark & Luke.)

In the Old Testament, at the time Moses was in Egypt with Pharaoh, there was an abhorrent pagan practice of sacrificing your firstborn to a false god called Molech by burning him or her alive. The One True God never ever considered such an abominable act. He hated it with a passion. We don't talk about it because it is so terribly awful and there are also our children sitting beside us in church. I vaguely remembered reading about it in passing during my daily Bible study (I simply read my Bible cover to cover a little or a lot per day) that's where "passing through the fire" came from. You must read the following study for yourself so you know how God feels about this. The results led me to research the more general "shedding innocent blood" and then God's reaction, not just being angry, like Jesus was at the people commercializing the temple, but filled with wrath.


The Bible, the word of the Lord God Almighty, is a love letter. Not knowing the original language in which He spoke I read and study the New American Standard Bible. When quoting this version I have inserted within parentheses the additional meaning of a word as noted by the translators. Their goal was to translate the original language as closely as possible while making sense. To save space I have not laid out the lines and paragraphs of God’s words as in the original text. (God sang a lot when He was communicating.) An irregular capital shows where the next line began in the original. Here is the study.

God the Father and His Law


God gave His people the law so they would have health, happiness, and peace. The Law (including the 10 commandments) was given to Israel before they entered the Promised Land so all the neighboring countries could learn about God by how the Jews lived. I love the Old Testament law. Reading it now, as a parent, I see the love of God the Father, especially in Leviticus and Deuteronomy.


Educators and psychiatrists know children need fun, intrigue and play along with routine, structure and security. This routine, structure, and security were provided by rules, or laws. Rules first prevent us from hurting ourselves and then from hurting others, thus providing the means for peace and happiness. The law of God is a law of love. Good for the individual, the family and society. Obeying the Ten Commandments teaches us true love, joy and peace by teaching us how to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves, and we all know how selfish we can be.

A little history


God's people were to go into a land already occupied. They were not given this land because they were better than the natives but because the natives were doing what God hates, and when you do this, there are consequences. 


Deuteronomy 9: 5 "It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath (word) which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob." 


Deuteronomy 12:29-32..."when the Lord your God cuts off before you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, beware that you are not ensnared to follow them (after them), after they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ You shall not behave thus toward the Lord your God, for every abominable act which the Lord hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do, you shall not add to nor take away from it.”



Deuteronomy 18:9 -12... “When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate (do according to) the detestable things of those nations. There shall not be formed among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord; and because of these detestable things the Lord your God will drive them out before you.”

God was judging the natives for sacrificing their children to the demons and their handmade idols. He warned His people that if they followed the same practices, they too would be judged. God does not say one thing He doesn't mean. This is the One True God speaking. Truth and Justice are the foundation of His being. Do you know what truth is? Search for the truth.



The Law of God states "...do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty," in Exodus 23:7 and in Leviticus 20:1-5 God says, ‘Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “You shall also say to the sons of Israel, ‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel, who gives and of his offspring (seed) to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. ‘I will also set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring (seed) to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name. ‘If the people of the land, however, should ever disregard (hiding they hide their eyes from) that man when he gives any of his offspring (seed) to Molech, so as not to put him to death, then I Myself will set My face against that man and
against his family; and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech.”
Leviticus 18:21... “Neither shall you give any of your offspring, to offer (cause to passover) them to Molech,...”


This is a NATIONAL ISSUE. Leviticus 21:22-24 is crucial. 


'"You are therefore to keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, so that the land to which I am bringing you to live (dwell in it) will not spew you out. Moreover, you shall not follow the customs (walk in the  statutes) of the nation which I shall drive out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I have abhorred them. Hence I have said to you, "You are to possess their land, and I Myself will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.'



God's people were not to do what the natives were doing after they moved in because God hates what they were doing. God was judging the natives because of the detestable things they were doing, sacrificing their children for one. I did not list the witchcraft or other things, including sexual sins found in the 20th chapter of Leviticus. Read it.

Today abortion is available in all states united. And God hates child sacrifice. Amazing how we developed the technology to see inside the womb and now know it's not "just a blob of tissue" at the same time we "scientifically" accept abortion. Now, what is a sacrifice? Giving up one thing for another. God's people would eventually disobey (like all kids) and do exactly what God said not to do.


Again, what not to do…



Psalms 106:35-43 “But they mingled with the nations, And learned their practices (works), And served their idols, Which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons, And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with the blood. Thus they became unclean in their practices (works), And played the harlot in their deeds. Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against His people, And He abhorred His inheritance (people). Then He gave them into the hand of the nations (gentiles); And those who hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their power (hand). Many times He would deliver them; They, however, were rebellious in their counsel, And so sank down in their iniquity.”

Psalm 9:7-12
"But the Lord abides (sits as king) forever;
He has established His throne for judgment,
And He will judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.
The Lord also will be (Let the Lord also be) a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble,
And those who know Thy name (let those whoknow Thy name) put their trust in Thee;
For Thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek Thee.

Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;

Declare among the peoples His deeds.
For He who requires blood (avenges bloodshed) remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.”


What happens when God's laws are broken? There are consequences set up by God to instruct us, in addition to God's righteous punishment. More than “time outs” here! I must warn those who break God's law of the consequences and punishment. Consequences may not be immediate, nor is God's punishment, because He wants us to see what we are doing wrong and repent. Sometimes we see and talk ourselves into doing what we know is wrong. God calls this hardening our hearts. God gives us time to soften back up. He is fair - no excuses.

They did it anyway



There was a King of Judah called Manasseh whose story is told in 2 Kings 21:1-18. A king is the executive branch, the judicial branch, and the legislative branch of a nation.

‘Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Hephzibah.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he erected altars for Baal and made an Asherah (a wooden symbol of a female deity), as Ahab king of Israel had done, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.


And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My name.”


For he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.


And he made his son pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and used divination, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord provoking Him to anger.Then he set the carved image of Asherah that he had made, in the house of which the Lord said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put MY name forever.


“And I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.”


But they did not listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do evil, more than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.


Now the Lord spoke through His servants the prophets, saying,


“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all the Amorites did who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols; therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.


‘And I will abandon the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become as plunder and spoil to all their enemies;because they have done evil in My sight, and have been provoking Me to anger, since the day their fathers came from Egypt, even to this day.”


‘Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the LORD.


Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did and his sin which he committed (sinned), are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?


And Manasseh slept with his father and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza, and Amon his son became king in his place.’


Also in II Chronicles 33:1-19 (read all of it) verses 6 & 10-17 are underlined.

‘Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel.
For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he also erected altars for the Baals and made Asherim, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

And he built altars in the house of the Lord of which the Lord had said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
For he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house
of the Lord.


And he made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Benhinnom; and he practiced witchcraft, used divination, practiced sorcery, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.

Then he put the carved image of the idol which he had made in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put MY name forever;

and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have
appointed for your father, if only they will observe to do all that I have
commanded them according to all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given
through Moses.”

Thus Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to more evil than
the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.


‘And the Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.

Therefore the Lord brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria
against them, and they captured Manasseh with hooks (things put through the
nose), bound him with bronze chains, and took him to Babylon.

And when he was in distress, he entreated the Lord his God and humbled himself
greatly before the God of his fathers.

When he prayed to Him, He was moved by his entreaty and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.

Now after this he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west side of
Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance to the Fish Gate; and he encircled
the Ophel with it and made it very high. Then he put army commanders in all the
fortified cities of Judah.


He also removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord as
well as all the altars which he had built on the mountain of the house of the
Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city.

And he set up the altar of the Lord and sacrificed peace offerings and thank
offerings on it; and he ordered Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.

Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, although only to
the Lord their God.


‘Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh even his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are among the records of the kings of Israel.

His prayer also and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, his
unfaithfulness, and the sites on which he built high places and erected the
Asherim and the carved images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are
written in the records of the Hozai (seers).


Manasseh’s abominable practice of sacrificing his son and filling the land with the blood of the innocent kindled the wrath of God or provoked the LORD God to anger. This King would be judged, but the “Manasseh Judgment” refers to the vengeance against the innocent that would be fulfilled, His anger will not be quenched. The king Manasseh was overtaken and sent in chains to another country. Was this the judgment? He was alive. He would be returned to his kingdom, but He would stop worshipping false gods and worship the only One-True God of his fathers. Why?


The mind of Manasseh


What changed Manasseh's mind about God?
Why would he give up worshipping other gods? On his way to Babylon, with bronze chains on wrists and ankles connected to the ring in his newly pierced nose, would he not pray to the god Molech, to which he gave his firstborn son? Would he not remind Molech of the beauty and innocence of the baby he placed in the arms of the idol? Did he not remember the moment the overbearing heat touched the ultra-sensitive skin of the newborn? Did he not remember the piercing screams of the baby and the smell of burning flesh?


Surely he thought all the gods he had worshipped would rescue him after all the work he had done for them, and sacrifices he had made. Had he not inquired of the dead? Had they not heard his questions regarding the past and his future? Had they not told him the truth?


As he sat in his prison cell, day after day, praying to the gods he knew, he realized it was all a lie. There was no god in Molech. The idol he had made with his own hands and had placed in the temple of the God of his fathers, the Asherah, was just a piece of wood. Even though he had done all this to keep himself and his people healthy, safe and wealthy, here he was, the King of Judah, infected, worthless, in a prison awaiting the whim of his enemy.


He thought back to his father. His father worshipped the One-True God. He knew the God of His father is a loving God and full of mercy. So Manasseh humbled himself and prayed to the God of his father and asked Him to return Him to his kingdom. Was it the first time he prayed to the God of his father? 

Because he humbled himself, God Almighty heard his prayer and Manasseh was sent back to Judah. As he looked towards the temple did he wonder what had he done to ever deserve being back in this land? Why did God hear him? He already knew…because his father had told him not only is God all-powerful, all-knowing, and eternal, but He is all-loving. His lovingkindness is everlasting.


True repentence


Manasseh then tore down all the places
of child sacrifice. He realized what he did was wrong and stopped the practice.
He was forgiven, because he repented. God will forgive anyone of all the sins
Manasseh committed if they acknowledge He is the Only God, and that they have
sinned against Him. Anyone participating in teaching lies, performing false
practices, having any assistance in the sacrifice of children will be forgiven
if they seek forgiveness in humility repent which is to stop doing what you did
and do the opposite.


But God would still avenge the death of
the innocents, as you will see. Keep in mind...God said, "Do not shed
innocent blood." Manasseh did what the false prophets told him and gave
his son to the fire. Manasseh was the leader of the people and being king, he
is more responsible than the general population who follows him. Beware Supreme
Court, the LORD holds you in contempt! Pastors, priests, ministers, judges,
rulers, leaders, governors, senators, representatives- listen! Hear the word of
God in Jeremiah 23:1 & 2..."Woe to the
shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!...behold,
I am about to attend to you for the evil or your deeds," declares the
Lord." God holds those in power responsible. Humble yourselves and acknowledge
your error in saying evil is good and good evil.


After the death
of Manasseh, his son Amon worshiped the same false gods as his father but “he did not humble himself before the Lord as his father
Manasseh had done (humbled himself), but Amon multiplied guilt” (2
Chronicles 33:23), so his servants killed him. The people then punished the
servants and made Amon’s son Josiah king at the age of eight! I don’t know how
old he was when he ordered an inventory and repair of the Temple, but a priest
found the copies of the Law. “And when it came
about when the king heard the words of the book of the law, that he tore his
clothes. The the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan,
Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant
saying, ‘Go, inquire of the Lord for me and the people and all Judah concerning
the words of this book that has been found, for great is the wrath of the Lord
that burns against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this
book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.’” 2 Kings
22:11-13


In obedience to
Josiah, the priests went to the prophetess Huldah, and God spoke through her
saying, “Behold, I bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the
words of the book which the king of Judah has read. Because they have forsaken
Me and have burned incense to other gods that they might provoke Me to anger
with all the work of their hands, therefore My wrath burns against this place,
and it shall not be quenched. But to the king of Judah who sent you to inquire
of the Lord this shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, “Regarding
the words which you have heard, because your heart was tender what I spoke
against this place and against its inhabitants that they should become a
desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I
truly have heard you,” declares the Lord. “Therefore, behold I will gather you
to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither
shall your eyes see all the evil I will bring on this place.”” 2 Kings 22:16-20


So they brought
back word to the king.


When Josiah
heard the LORD he gathered all the men of Judah and all the people of his
country, ‘both small and great’, and they went to the house of the LORD and
read the words of the book of the covenant (the law) and they all chose to
enter into a relationship of obedience with the LORD God to receive His
blessings instead of His righteous judgment. Josiah then cleaned up his country
and did away with all the false priests and destroyed all the places they
worshiped the false gods and removed the abominations that were seen in the land
of Judah and in Jerusalem “that he might confirm
(perform) the words of the law which were written in the book.” 2 Kings
23:24. I believe today's generation is smart enough to choose the right way and
hear the truth.


No other king of
Judah would obey the LORD as wholeheartedly and completely as Josiah.
“However,
the Lord did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His
anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh
had provoked Him.”

2 Kings 23:26. The LORD God still heard the cries of the innocent and
prophesied judgments would be carried out. Josiah's son chose to do evil, did
not repent and then the judgments came.


I searched into
which prophet was sent to Judah because God always speaks to us and
surprisingly Isaiah was first sent before Manasseh’s reign of death to tell of
what was coming. Reading his book we find not only warnings of severe judgment
but also the promises of a Savior after His righteous judgment has been carried
out. What love! We all want and need to be accepted by our parents after being
punished.


Along with
Isaiah, the prophet Micah was sent. The omniscient God knows what will be going
down even before we mess up and cause the problem. Micah 1 foretells God's
judgment before the evil started. Parents teach their children the stove is hot
before they can reach it. God is just in that He warns the kings and leaders
that they are wrong. I find chapter 3 most intriguing. God is talking to the
leaders.

Micah 3-

‘And I said, “Hear now, heads of Jacob

And rulers of the house of Israel.

Is it not for you to know justice?

“You who hate good and love evil,

Who tear off their skin from them


And their flesh from their bones,

And who eat the flesh of my people,

Strip off their skin from them,

Break their bones,

And chop them up as for the pot

And as meat in a kettle.”

Then they will cry out to the Lord,


But He will not answer them.

Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time,

Because they have practiced evil deeds.



Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets

Who lead my people astray:

When they have something to bite with their teeth, They cry,
"Peace,"


But against him who puts nothing in their mouths,

They declare holy war.

Therefore it will be night for you--without vision,

And darkness for you--without divination.

The sun will go down on the prophets,

And the day will become dark over them.

The seers will be ashamed


And the diviners will be embarrassed.

Indeed, they will all cover their mouths (mustaches)

Because there is no answer from God

On the other hand I am filled with power-

With the Spirit of the Lord-

And with justice and courage

To make known to Jacob his rebellious act,


Even to Israel his sin.

Now hear this, heads of the house of Jacob

And rulers of the house of Israel,

Who abhor justice

And twist everything that is straight,

Who build Zion with bloodshed

And Jerusalem with violent injustice.

Her leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe,

Her priests instruct for a price,


And her prophets divine for money.

Yet they lean on the Lord saying,

“Is not the Lord in our midst?

Calamity will not come upon us.”

Therefore, on account of you,

Zion will be plowed as a field,

Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins,

And the mountain of the temple (house) will become high places of a
forest.’




The prophet Jeremiah was sent to speak the word of God just before and during
the punishment. Listen to what the LORD said the punishment would be.

Jeremiah 15:1-4

Then the Lord said to me, “Even though Moses and
Samuel were to stand before Me, My heart (soul) would not be with (toward) this
people, send them away from My presence and let them go!

“And it shall be that when they say to you, ‘Where would we go?’ then you are
to tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord: "Those destined for death, to death;
And those destined for the sword, to the sword; And those destined for famine,
to famine; And those destined for captivity; to captivity.”’

“And I shall appoint over them four kinds of doom” declares the LORD; “the
sword to slay, the dogs to drag off, and the birds of the sky and the beasts of
the earth to devour and destroy.

“And I shall make them an object of horror among all the kingdoms of the earth
because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in
Jerusalem.”



And Jeremiah 19:3-9


"...and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O
kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says the Lord of hosts, the
God of Israel, “Behold I am about to bring a calamity upon this place, at which
the ears of everyone that hears of it will tingle.

“Because they have forsaken Me and have made this an alien place and have
burned sacrifices (incense) in it to other gods that neither they nor their
forefathers not the kings of Judah had ever known, and because they have filled
this place with the blood of the innocent.

And have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt
offerings to Baal, a thing which I never commanded or spoke of, nor did it ever
enter My mind (heart);

Therefore, behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this place will
no longer be called Topheth or the valley of Benhinnom, but rather the valley
of Slaughter.

“And I shall make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I
shall cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of
those who seek their life; and I shall give over their carcasses as food for
the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth.

“I shall also make this city a desolation and an object of hissing; everyone
who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its disasters (blows).

“And I shall make them eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their
daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and in the
distress with which their enemies and those who seek their life will distress
them.” ‘



The book of Ezekiel was written during the promised judgment. Ezekiel 7:1 - 10


Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying,
“And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD (YHWH) to the land of Israel, ‘An
end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land. Now the end is upon
you, and I shall send My anger against you; I shall judge you according to your
ways, and I shall bring all your abominations upon you. For My eye will have no
pity on you, nor shall I spare you, but I shall bring your ways upon you, and
your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the Lord!

“Thus says the Lord GOD (YHWY), ‘A disaster, unique disaster, behold it is
coming! An end is coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you;
behold, it has come! Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The
time has come, the day is near-tumult rather than joyful shouting on the
mountains. Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you, and spend My anger
against you, judge you according to your ways, and bring on you all your
abominations. And My eye will show no pity, nor will I spare. I will repay
(give) you according to your ways, and bring on you all your abominations. And
My eye will show no pity, nor will I spare. I will repay you according to your
ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the
LORD, do the smiting. Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone
forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.” The LORD gives
judgment according to the sin. Abortion is a true abomination.



Read the testimony of the abortionists given in the court of New York in defense
of partial birth abortion and tremble with fear. The fear of the LORD is not
only respect, but also true fear. Anyone having the privilege of being raised
by an honorable father knows what it is like to face the music for just
punishment. Abortion should not be allowed in your town. Drive it out. Outlaw
it in your town, your county, your state and your nation. It is not an option
for God is angry and we have to stop it. It doesn't matter why it is done. Be
afraid. Our swords and chariots will not protect us from the hand of the Almighty.
Listen America! God’s law says we are not to kill our children - born or unborn
because if we do there will be consequences. Do not listen to the false
teachers who have duped our leaders into allowing this abomination in the first
place. Search for the truth that was revealed after Roe v Wade. The original
arguments were false. They are still false. Do not be misled yourself. You do
not have to believe everything you are told, search for the whole truth. Roe is
now pro-life. Her lawyer turned pro-life. Find out about it. Search for
pro-life info. Hear the other side.



God abhors the death of innocent children and it makes Him angry. They are not
only His creation, they are a gift and a blessing. What would you do if you
gave a gift to a loved one and without even unwrapping it, they smashed it and
threw it away in front of you? What of the unborn? What about conception? If
you think a child in the womb is not important, I was reading this morning in
Isaiah and read in chapter 46 verses 3 & 4...




“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the
remnant of the house of Israel, You have been borne by Me from birth (the
belly), And have been carried from the womb; Even to your old age, I (I am He)
shall be the same, And even to your graying years (gray hairs) I shall bear
you!...”



In Isaiah 48:8 & 9 God speaks to the people...

“You have not heard, you have not known.

Even from long ago your ear has not been open,

Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously;

And you have been called rebel (transgressor) from birth (the belly).

“For the sake of My name I delay My wrath,


And for My praise I restrain it for you,

In order not to cut you off.”



In Isaiah 49:1 & 2 God speaks for His coming Messiah...

“Listen to Me, O islands, And pay attention, you
peoples from afar. The Lord called Me from the womb; From the body (inward
parts) of My mother He named Me. And He has made My mouth like a sharp
sword:...”



In Psalms 22: 9 & 10 David prophecies Jesus’ death but speaks of His
Immaculate Conception...

“Yet thou art He who didst bring me forth from the
womb; Thou didst make me trust when upon my mother’s breasts. Upon Thee I was
cast from birth (a womb); Thou hast been my God from my mother’s womb.”




In Jeremiah 1:5 God talks to Jeremiah...

“Before I formed you in the womb (KJV belly) I knew
you,

And before you were born I consecrated you;

I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”



Psalm 139 is a song by King David about how much God loves him and not only
wove him together in his mother’s womb but also knew every molecule that would
make up his body. There is also another man in Israel who was protected and
nurtured before he was even conceived (hasn’t there been a recent medical study
about women needing certain minerals and vitamins if they are planning a future
pregnancy to insure the baby’s health?). Hear his story and who was in charge
of the nation of Israel at the time.



After the death of Moses who initially received the Ten Commandments and the
law, and Joshua his successor, the people of Israel would disobey the Law and
God would send judges to teach them. In 2 Chronicles 19:9 & 10, “Then he charged them saying, ‘Thus you shall do in the
fear of the Lord, faithfully and wholeheartedly. And whenever any dispute comes
to you from your brethren who live in their cities, between blood and blood,
between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them that
they may not be guilty before the Lord, and wrath may not come on you and your
brethren. Thus you shall do and you will not be guilty.’” As there was
no king, they did what was right in their own eyes, depending on judges for
interpreting the law.




During this time, the people "again did evil in the sight of the Lord, so
that the Lord gave them into the hands of the Philistines 40 years.

“And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the
family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had
borne no children. Then the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said
to her, "Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you
shall conceive and give birth to a son. “Now therefore, be careful not to drink
wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. "For behold, you shall
conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the
boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver
Israel from the hands of the Philistines.” Judges 13:1-5.


The woman and
her husband followed God's commands and born to them was the mighty Samson. The
child's development while in the womb was crucial! Ironic that God would set
this child apart before his birth to save the Israelites from an occupation
because they listened to the false judges! Today our judges are telling us it
is okay for us to sacrifice our innocent unborn. In God's eyes, He sees us as
we will be when He calls us to be with Him. The unborn child is as valuable as
the born, and both are innocent. Over and over we are warned by God about the
consequences of shedding innocent blood.



Why do the evil ones want this? Jeremiah 22:17. Power and money. "But your eyes and your heart are intent only upon
your own dishonest gain, and on shedding innocent blood and on practicing
oppression and extortion." Who is oppressed and extorted by
abortion? The woman! I am a woman. Do not keep me from being all I was meant to
be. I was created to give birth and raise my children and use my talents to the
glory of God! "For the wicked boasts of his
heart's desire, And the greedy man (or blesses the greedy man) curses and
spurns the Lord. The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not
seek Him. All his thoughts (plots) are, ‘There is no God.’”


Please
understand that I believe in my Holy Father's everlasting love, and in His true
justice. What could be more secure and stable for any child? I will not exact
any punishment or vengeance as I am also worthy of punishment God is the
perfect judge seeing into men's heart and mind. But I must lovingly warn those in
power of God's anger and His impending judgment. Because of who He is, He
cannot and will not let abortion go unpunished. And He will not necessarily
punish the mother of the aborted child if she is innocent. When and how the
judgment and punishment is carried out will be exact and fair and totally up to
Him. When we sin and acknowledge our sin and ask forgiveness, He forgives us
instantly and completely, but we tend to punish ourselves far longer. Please go
to http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/ to learn the true consequences of
abortion for the mother. God does not always immediately let go His wrath for
He is very patient, wanting us to see the evil of our way and stop, then do
what is right. Because of this we often think we are not seen, and will get
away with it. Psalms 148:8 "The LORD is
gracious and merciful, slow to anger and great in lovingkindness,"


Solomon said in
Proverbs 6:16-19 that

"There are six things which the Lord hates,

Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him (of His soul):

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

And hands that shed innocent blood,

A heart that devises wicked plans,


Feet that run rapidly to evil,

A false witness who utters lies,

And one who spreads (sends out) strife among brothers.”



The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

"...if you truly amend your ways and your
deeds, if you truly practice justice between a man and his neighbor, if you do
not oppress the alien, the orphan (fatherless), or the widow, and do not shed
innocent blood in this place, nor walk after the other gods to your own ruin,
then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your
fathers forever and ever. Behold, you are trusting in deceptive words to no
avail." Jeremiah 7:5-8

And again from Jeremiah 22:3, "Thus says the
Lord, "Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been
robbed from the power of his oppressor. Also do not mistreat or do violence to
the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this
place."




There is an all-knowing, all-powerful God and He hears the silent cries of the
unborn, seeing into hearts and minds. He hears the cries of all the afflicted.
And He does not forget. Psalms 9:12 states "For
He who requires blood (avenges bloodshed) remembers them; He does not forget
the cry of the afflicted."





Again in Ezekiel 16:20-23 the Lord God said to those being punished

“Moreover, you took your sons and daughters whom
you had borne to Me, and you sacrificed them to idols (them) to be devoured.
Were your harlotries so small a matter? You slaughtered My children, and
offered them up to idols (them) by causing them to pass through the fire. And
besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of
your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood . Then it
came about after all your wickedness (‘Woe, woe to you! Declares the Lord GOD),
that you built yourself a shrine and made yourself a high place in every
square.” Is abortion available in every square? Are the conceived killed
with birth control pills available at the corner pharmacy?



Are we making policy according to the laws of our neighbors and “allies” and
disregarding the true Law? Hear this...

Thus says the Lord GOD, “Because your lewdness was
poured out and your nakedness uncovered through your harlotries with your
lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your
sons which you gave to idols (them), therefore, behold, I shall gather all your
lovers with whom you took pleasure, even all those whom you loved and all those
whom you hated. So I shall gather them against you from every direction and
expose your nakedness to them that they may see all your nakedness. Thus I
shall judge you, like women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I
shall bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.” Ezekiel 16:36-38






Every society practicing child (whether born or unborn) sacrifice is going to
be punished if there is no repentance. God doesn’t just punish and wipe out
everyone. He always promises rebuilding and blessing if we walk in the right
way. He cannot allow the world to kill the innocent unborn or born without just
vengeance. They will be avenged. It is our choice to stop this abomination of
abortion and to cry for mercy. Will we be judged and punished or will we
choose, in humility, repentance and forgiveness as did King Josiah. What will
we choose in America where we have the freedom to choose, the Manasseh judgment
or to be today’s Josiah generation? Hear the Lord GOD in Ezekiel 18:20-24

“The person who sins will die. The son will not
bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the
punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment
for the son’s iniquity; their righteousness of the righteous will be upon
himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

“But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and
observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall
surely live; he shall not die.

“All his transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against
im; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live.

“Do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord GOD,
“rather than (is it not) that he should turn from his ways and live?

“But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity,
and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does will he live?
All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his
treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them
he will die.”



In Ezekiel 20:25-28 we actually hear sarcasm...


“And I also gave them statutes that were not good
and ordinances by which they could not live; and I pronounced them unclean
because of their gifts, in that they caused all their first-born (that which
opens the womb) to pass through the fire so that I might make them desolate, in
order that they might know that I am the LORD.”



In Ezekiel 22: 1-6 we again hear why judgment comes.

Then the word of the Lord came to me saying,

“And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then
cause her to know all her abominations.

“And you shall say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “A city shedding blood in her midst,
so that her time will come, and that makes idols, contrary to her interest, for
defilement!

“You have become guilty by the (your) blood which you have shed, and defiled by
hour idols which you have made. Thus you have brought your day(s) near and have
come to your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a
mocking to all the lands.

“Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you of ill
repute, full of turmoil.

“Behold, the rulers of Israel, each according to his power(arm), have been in
you for the purpose of shedding blood.


“They have treated father and mother lightly within you. The alien they have
oppressed in your midst; the fatherless and the widow they have wronged in you.

“You have despised My holy things and profaned My
sabbaths.

“Slanderous men have been in you for the purpose of shedding blood, and in you
they have eaten at the mountain shrines. In your midst they have committed acts
of lewdness.

“In you they have (he has) uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you they have
humbled her who was unclean in her menstrual impurity.

“And one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has
lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. And another in you has humbled his sister,
his father’s daughter.

“In you they have taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and
profits, and you have injured your neighbors for gain by oppression and you
have forgotten Me,” declares the Lord GOD.’



It is America’s choice to follow Josiah in repentance and mourning or
not. This is what the LORD God wants us all to do, listen to Jeremiah
23:16-22...

Thus says the Lord of hosts,


“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They
are leading you into futility; They speak a vision of their own imagination
(heart), Not from the mouth of the Lord,“They keep saying to those who despise
Me, ‘The Lord has said, “You will have peace”’; And as for everyone who walks
in the stubbornness of his own heart, They say,’Calamity will not come upon you.’
“But who has stood in the council of the Lord, that he should see and hear His
word? Who has given heed to His (My) word and listened? “Behold, the storm of
the Lord has gone forth in wrath, Even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down
on the head of the wicked. The anger of the Lord will not turn back Until He
has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; In the last days you
will clearly understand it.

“I did not send these prophets, But they ran. I did not speak to them, But they
prophesied. But if they had stood in My council, Then they would have announced
My words to My people, And would have turned them back from their from their
evil way And from the evil of their deeds.”



Jeremiah 26:2 & 3 “Thus says the Lord, ‘Stand
in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, who
have come to worship in the Lord’s house, all the words that I have commanded
you to speak to them. Do not omit a word!

‘Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his evil way, that I may
repent of the calamity which I am planning to do to them because of the evil of
their deeds.”



Jeremiah 22:3-5 This is very important...

‘Thus says the Lord, “Do justice and righteousness,
and deliver the one who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor. Also
do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and
do not shed innocent blood in this place.


“For if you men will indeed perform this thing, then kings will enter the gates
of this house, sitting in David’s place (for David) on his throne, riding in
chariots and on horses, even the king himself and his servants and his people.

“But if you will not obey theses words, I swear by Myself,” declares the Lord,
“that this house will become a desolation”



Listen to the LORD God who spoke to us through His prophets and is the same
yesterday, today, and tomorrow.



Isaiah 42:23-25...

“Who among you will give ear to this? Who will give
heed and listen hereafter? Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to
plunderers? Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned, And in whose ways
they were not willing to walk, And whose law they did not obey?

So He poured out on him the heat of His anger And the fierceness of battle;

And it set him aflame all around, Yet he did not recognize it,

And it burned him, but he paid no attention (did not lay it to heart).”




Everyone knows the story of Jonah. Listen to the words of the king in Nineveh
(historically placed in Iraq), when he heard that God was angry. “And he issued a proclamation and it said, ‘In Nineveh by
the decree of the king and his nobles; Do not let man, beast, herd, or flock
taste a thing. Do not let them eat or drink water; But both man and beast must
be covered with sackcloth; and let men (them) call on God earnestly that each may
turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in his (their) hand.

‘Who knows, God may turn and relent, and withdraw His burning anger so that we
shall not perish?’

When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God
relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring (do) upon
them. And He did not do it.” Jonah 3: 7-10



In Micah chapter 4 God foretells His saving a remnant-the assembled lame and
outcasts. Those who today would have been aborted, the LORD God chose to become
a strong nation, led by One who knows God’s ways and brings peace-allowing the
recycling of weapons of war to be made into plows and pruning hooks for growing
grains, vegetables and fruit.



In Micah chapter 5 verses 2 and 5 it says:

“But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to
be among the clans of Judah,


from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.

His goingsforth are from long ago, From the days of eternity (His appearances
are from long ago, from days of old).... And this One will be our peace.”


Who is He? I
hope you all know Yeshua Messhiah (Jesus Christ). We celebrate His birth on
Christmas. The second Psalm is all about Him and His relationship to the world.
This is telling of God’s rule.



“Why are nations (Gentiles) in an uproar, And the
peoples devising a vain thing?

The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together

Against the Lord and against His Anointed (Messiah):"Let us tear their
fetter apart,

And cast away their cords from us!”


He who sits (is enthroned) in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury:

“Bust as for Me, I have installed (consecrated) My King Upon Zion, My holy
mountain.”-

“I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘Thou art My Son,
Today I have begotten Thee.

‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations (Gentiles) as Thine inheritance,
And the very ends of the earth as Thy possession. ‘Thou shalt break (rule) them
with a rod (scepter or staff) of iron,

Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware (potter’s ware).’”

Now therefore, O kings, show discernment: Take warning, O judges (leaders) of
the earth.

Worship (serve) the Lord with reverence (fear), And rejoice with trembling. Do
homage to the Son, lest He become angry and you perish in the way, For His
wrath may soon (quickly, suddenly, easily) be kindled.

How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!”




The Lord Jesus’s time of servanthood was over 2000 years ago. He is now at the
right hand of the Father waiting for His time to rule the whole world. I
understand why He is described as He is when He returns. He is very angry.



He is angry because of the sacrifice of the unborn to the false god of self,
and the false god of money. He is angry at those responsible for the
legalization of abortion, the false teachers who promote it, and those who
threaten or coerce others into committing it. He is angry at those who know it
is wrong and say nothing against it. The silent cries of the dead call for
justice and total reform. Too many are quiet because they do not believe a
loving God can also be an angry God. Righteous anger is not a feminist trait
because most women are powerless against it. God the Father and God the Son
must be portrayed in total truth. When we offend the Holy Spirit He withdraws,
when we offend the Father He gets in our face. The Lord Jesus is not returning
as a baby in a manger, but His eyes are a flame of fire. The church needs to
learn what kind of ruler He will be! What form of government will His be? (Wish
I could take a college course in that!) One thing it will be is JUST!



Listen to the Word of God, my Father, Who so loved the world that He gave His
Only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal
life. God's only Son volunteered to pay the punishment (not only physical death
but an eternity of punishment in hell) for all disobedience to God so those who
disobey and then see their error and choose to obey will accept God’s mercy, be
forgiven and accept the gift of eternal life. It was the Son’s choice to die.
There is no greater love than this; that a man should lay down his life for his
friend. God is love. His Son is love. God is just and patient, but He is also
angry and because He is just He will have to act.



When the Savior (Messiah) returns to earth to rule as described here in the
Psalm and in the New Testament, He will rule with an iron fist, with justice.
Revelation 19:15 & 16 “And from His mouth comes
a sharp sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will
rule(shepherd) them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the
fierce wrath of God the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a
name written, ‘KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.’”



Break the law and the fair consequences and punishment will be given. You can
study history for yourself and see how the moral decline of a nation brings its
demise. Where are we headed? Are we willing to continue sacrificing our
children to appease our false god, whatever it is? And what should the church
do? Pray and fast, weep and wail in mourning. Pray that God will remove the
iniquity of the land. Beg forgiveness, cry for mercy. Protest the lawlessness
of this land filled with the blood of the innocent and WARN OF THE COMING
JUDGMENT. It is coming, it’s just a matter of when, and I believe it will be at
the time of the fullness of the Gentiles.


So besides just outlawing abortion, let's do a total about face. Instead of
supporting the abortion industry, let's support the adoption industry. Let's
give life. Interesting to me (I love irony and satire), is the fact that
approximately 43 million abortions have been performed in the United States
alone. Feel like doing something good? Thanks to Oprah we know there are at
least 45 million orphans in Southern Africa. God loves for us to take care of
orphans. We are spiritual orphans and He has taken care of us.



I pray for you to see the truth, to hear the truth. Therefore, hear the word of
the Only True God and ask Him to show you the truth. He is a loving Father and
will teach any who ask.



The reason I write this is because I must warn of the coming judgment because
in Ezekiel 3:18-21 God says, "When I say to
the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; and you do not warn him or speak out to
warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die
in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.

"Yet if you have warned the wicked, and he does not turn from his
wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have
delivered yourself.

"Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits
iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he shall die; since you have not
warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done
shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

"However, if you have warned (him) the righteous man that the righteous
should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took
warning; and you have delivered yourself."



Some of you may think the Old Testament and God’s relationship to Israel is
irrelevant to us today but because God has not changed, we can know God by
studying His reaction to Israel’s choices in the past. As a Christian I can
study Israel’s history and growth and learn what it is like to live with God.
As God the Father lived in the heart of Israel in the temple, God the Holy
Spirit lives in the heart of those who believe in the Savior and are living a
life of commitment to Him.




(After reading the above, it is important to remember God first judged those
who originally lived in the land. Anyone who believes it cannot happen to
America, think again. The people who settled here 400 years ago displaced a
previous people and the Aztecs sacrificed humans, and even turned to cannibalism.
I wonder what evil the people of Atlantis were doing.) To appease this false
god Molech (and another god Baal) it was the practice to pass the children
through fire, burning them alive. Not unlike a saline abortion but probably
bringing a faster death. The people could hear their baby’s screams. God hears
the deepest base tones of the Giraffe, the elephant and the whale, the tree
that falls in the forest, that we cannot. Believe me; He hears the silent
screams of the unborn being aborted. I am sure with today’s technology we
could, too. (I am sorry to say I have recently heard the screams of the dying.)
And 80% of communication is body language. Surely the abortionist could see the
scream.



You should also know that the people who first settled America came because
they wanted to worship the God of the Bible. Our country was founded upon the
principles of life found in its pages. When the foundation deteriorates the
building falls. “Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Because
you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, bear now the punishment of
your lewdness and your harlotries.’” Ezekiel 23:35 RESTORE THE
FOUNDATION! Teach the faith of our forefathers, the founders of our democracy.
Do not surrender to the anti-Christ. Do not bend your knee to Baal. Do not
accept these abominations for they will be requited for the sake of His name
and all will know that He is the Lord GOD.



The word of the Lord also came to the prophet Zephaniah during Josiah’s reign.
After reading this book I figured this was what Josiah heard when he decided to
find out why God was mad. It was the FEAR of the Lord that motivated Josiah to
search for the truth of the Law, not just respect. Listen to this and maybe
you’ll agree!

Zephaniah 1:14-2:3



“Near is the great day of the Lord, Near and coming
very quickly; Listen, the day of the Lord! In it (there) the warrior cries out
bitterly. A day of wrath is that day, A day of trouble and distress, A day of
destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and
thick darkness, A day of trumpet and battle cry, Against the fortified cities
And the high corner towers. And I will bring distress on men, so that they will
walk like the blind, Because they have sinned against the Lord; And their blood
will be poured out like dust, And their flesh like dung. Neither their silver
nor their gold Will be able to deliver them On the day of the Lord’s wrath; And
all the earth will be devoured In the fire of His jealousy, For He will make a
complete end, Indeed a terrifying one, Of all the inhabitants of the earth.


Gather yourselves together, yes, gather, O nation without shame (longing),
before the decree takes effect (is born)-The day passes like the chaff-Before
the burning anger of the Lord comes upon you, Before the day of the Lord’s
anger comes upon you.

Seek the Lord, All you humble of the earth (land) Who have carried out His
ordinances (justice); Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be
hidden In the day of the Lord’s anger.”



So Josiah listens to Zephaniah and searches for the Law. He hears it all. He
heard what they were doing wrong and heard the consequences and blessings
promised in Deuteronomy 28-30. Obey God and receive blessing. Disobey and
receive believably disgusting punishments.



Take note America-Deuteronomy 29:22-28

“Now the generation to come, your sons who rise up
after you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the
plagues of the land and the diseases with which the Lord has afflicted it (made
it sick), will say, ‘All its land is brimstone and salt, a burning waste,
unsown and unproductive (it is not sown and does not cause to sprout), and no
grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim,
which the Lord overthrew in His anger and in His wrath.’‘”And all the nations
shall say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? Why this great outburst
(heat) of anger?’

“Then men shall say, ‘Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, the God of
their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of
Egypt.

‘And they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they have
not known and whom He had not allotted (portioned) to them.

‘Therefore, the anger of the Lord burned against that land, to bring upon it
every curse which is written in this book; and the Lord uprooted them from
their land in anger and in fury and in great wrath, and cast them into another
land, as it is this day.’”




Do we have sickness and drought? Lots of sickness, not enough meds. Listen to
God. Deuteronomy 30:19 & 20 “I call heaven and
earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death,
the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and
your descendants (seed), by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and
by holding fast to Him; for this (that) is your life and the length of your
days, that you may live in (dwell in) the land which the Lord swore to your
fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” So choose life to
be blessed, choose death to be cursed.



How does God bless us? Zephaniah 8:4&5 “Thus
says the Lord of hosts, ‘Old men and old women will again sit in the streets
(squares) of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of age (the
multitude of days).

‘And the streets (squares) of the city will be filled with boys and girls
playing in its streets (squares).’ Our populations are no longer
growing. We are destroying our blessings. The blessing that comes from taking
care of others, younger and older.




The day abortion was legalized should be declared a national day of mourning.
Mourning for the little ones aborted but born alive and moving, disposed of in
bio-hazard bags to be sent out in the trash for burning. Bodies burned? Who is
rising out of America’s smokestacks?



America beware. God knows where our molecules are before we are conceived and
God knows where the bodies of the innocent are after disposal. Psalms 139:15
& 16

“My frame was (bones were) not hidden from Thee,
When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth.
Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance;...”

Is it ironic that the terrorist has been raised up to shed innocent blood?


We fight those who
kill the innocent - we call them cowards and they disgust us, infuriate us, but
we allow it under certain conditions- for the health of the mother, rape and
incest. Health- IT MUST BE PROVEN! The American Medical Association must prove
to us it is medically necessary to kill the unborn child. Exactly what medical
conditions are not remedied today? SET STANDARDS. DO NOT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD.
When you can save the mother and child, do it! Does the Rolex repairman want
all watches destroyed? No! But the garbage collector might! Put the abortion
industry out of business and put families back in business. Rape - ask the
adopted children of rape if they believe themselves worthy of abortion. Do a
very strict scientific study for the truth, is it better for the victim of rape
to have the baby or go through the agony of murdering the unborn baby?
Performing an abortion because of incest covers another sin. Protect the abused
and used children by not giving the abuser an easy out. Make it harder to cover
up the crime of incest.



I welcome your response but would rather you get the Word out. Can we not
protect the life of the innocent by etching pro-life laws forever in the stone
of our nation’s foundation? I really don’t want to see sinners in the hands of
an angry God in my lifetime, or my son’s lifetime, or my son’s son’s lifetime.
How many people have died in judgment from God? How many people are going to
hell because no one told them the truth about its existence? How many sexually
immoral people know what they are doing is making God angry? You now know that
abortion is abhorrent to the One True God. You are without excuse. “If I had
not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin (guilt) but now they have
no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also.” John 15:22 This
is what Jesus said regarding those in charge of the people of God at that time.
Those women and children going to clinics are not being told the truth,
therefore they have an excuse-but not you.




During the week after 9/11 no one in America felt like laughing at anything.
That lack of laughter was a glimpse of the mourning of hell where this is ONLY
weeping and gnashing of teeth, not even evil laughing. Hear the prayer of the
pagans on the ship with Jonah ...”Then they called on the Lord and said, ‘We earnestly pray, O Lord, do not let us perish on
account of this man’s life and do not put innocent blood on us; for Thou, O
Lord, hast done as Thou has pleased.’‘ Lamentations was written during
the first Manasseh Judgment. Read it.



Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive
power and riches and wisdom

and might and honor and glory and blessing."
