Justice and Judgment
Scripture warns that individually and collectively we shall stand before God's just judgment. All we've done and failed to do will be revealed as our words and deeds and even our thoughts and desires are exposed. Sadly, in a world having aborted over a billion babies, we are "storing up wrath against the day of wrath." With 50 million clinically aborted in America alone, every star on the flag now represents a million murdered children.
When Freedom Runs Red
Omnity provides the Creator perfect vision and insight into the affairs of creation. The Psalmist David declares, "You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed."
Unlike human justice, God's judgments are far from blind. Nor should they catch our generation by surprise. With over six billion Bibles printed, God's Word is the all time best seller. Furthermore, scripture's directives and warnings are clear and so often emphasized there's no excuse for disobedience:
"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable." Hebrews 4:12-13
Particularly relevant to the modern world are God's many warnings against misusing our freedom as an occasion for evil:
"It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters. Fear God, and respect the king." 1 Peter 2:15-17
"It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows. For everything we know about God's Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That's an act of true freedom." Galatians 5:13-14 The Message
O Say Can You See?
One need look no further than abortion to see how Christian nations world wide have fallen from grace. Given undreamed of and unprecedented blessings, our generation has responded by taking them and God for granted. Worse, by covering the Earth in crimson, we're not only aborting our posterity but our privileged standing with God.
With at least 50 million clinical abortions legally performed in the United States, there's little room to wonder how America will fare in the judgement. Further, one cringes at the irony of our national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner." In light of Abortion's unsung holocaust I borrowed its melody to ask the question most critical question of our time. I offer it humbly, hoping we might learn to again love all American's, from embryos to the elderly...
Oh Say Can You See, What's become of our Light?
While proudly we Hail America's last Gleaming.
Blood red Stripes, Fifty Stars, Each a million Dead Just so Far.
While we pledge and we Sing Our Children's Blood
goes on Streaming.
See Abortion's red Glare Hear lies filling the Air?
"Choice, it's our Right" to murder Children we Dare.
How long can our Star Spangled Banner
yet Wave? Or' a land become a Sea,
Of the Blood, Of our Babes...
Reaping the Whirlwind
Inconceivably, the very Christian Nations that once exported God's gospel of peace and thereby ended human sacrifice, have reversed course. So much so that with our financial and moral support, the most dangerous place to be in the world today is in your mother's womb!
Kept legal and out of sight, the Choice to abort is made to appear rational and sterile. Reducing the rights of babies in the womb to those of tumors and inviable tissue masses removes morality from the equation and portrays pro-life activists as insensitive and hostile. Such Devilish cunning represents the greatest inversion of right and wrong in human history. Yet God is not long mocked:
"Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith." Galatians 6:7-10
"Blow the trumpet! Sound the alarm! Vultures are circling over God's people who have broken my covenant and defied my revelation. Predictably, Israel cries out, 'My God! We know you!' But they don't act like it. Israel will have nothing to do with what's good, and now the enemy is after them. "They crown kings, but without asking me. They set up princes but don't let me in on it. Instead, they make idols, using silver and gold, idols that will be their ruin... I'm seething with anger against that rubbish! How long before they shape up?
Look at them! Planting wind-seeds, they'll harvest tornadoes.
Wheat with no head produces no flour. And even if it did, strangers would gulp it down. Israel is swallowed up and spit out." Hosea 8:1-8 The Message
"Write to Laodicea, to the Angel of the church. God's Yes, the Faithful and Accurate Witness, the First of God's creation, says: "I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You're not cold, you're not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You're stale. You're stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, 'I'm rich, I've got it made, I need nothing from anyone,' oblivious that in fact you're a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless. "Here's what I want you to do: Buy your gold from me, gold that's been through the refiner's fire. Then you'll be rich. Buy your clothes from me, clothes designed in Heaven. You've gone around half-naked long enough. And buy medicine for your eyes from me so you can see, really see. "The people I love, I call to account—prod and correct and guide so that they'll live at their best. Up on your feet, then! About face! Run after God! "Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you. Conquerors will sit alongside me at the head table, just as I, having conquered, took the place of honor at the side of my Father. That's my gift to the conquerors! "Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches." Revelation 3:14-22 The Message
Seeing "God is not mocked" and that those who "sow the wind will reap the whirlwind" a terrible question arises. What would the reaping the aborting of over a billion of mankind's most innocent look like? Might the whirlwind abortion is creating be the Great Tribulation that seems to be at our door? What possible excuse can Christ, our Adovcate, make to the Devil's charge against humanity, and the church, to justify such evil before the Eternity's Supreme Court? As war breaks out in Heaven, will billions of Christians covered in innocent blood and guilty of appathy or worse be secretly raptured away before the hurricane of justice stikes?
Might tempests of lessor judgments already be loosed against formally Christian Nations? From devistated homes and families to homosexuality and euthenasia, is the scourge of God being prepared as in Habukkuk's day? How long will we remain clueless, refusing to pray, repent and engage our culture of death?
