With the infamous anniversary of Roe v Wade this week, we are reminded the barbaric practice of abortion and the greed that drives it was clearly revealed in the shocking videos which recently exposed Planned Parenthood harvesting aborted baby body parts. And it’s critical we all understand abortion is much more than a political issue—it’s a Biblical issue that carries severe consequences.
Following is an excerpt from our recent book “God’s Answer for America” which helps us understand why abortion is such a serious offense in the eyes of God and why this issue, along with others, could bring about great judgment and destruction upon America — a day of Reckoning.
Long Ago…
There was a time when America valued life and the unborn. Obviously this changed in 1973 when it became legal in America to kill innocent children in the womb and call it “choice.” Over forty years later, the barbaric practice of abortion has resulted in the slaughter of over fifty‐five million innocent and defenseless babies! While abortion is a highly politicized issue, from God’s perspective, abortion is a very serious moral and injustice issue—murder. This is not about a woman’s right to choose; this is about taking life and the shedding of innocent blood (more about why this is so serious in a moment)!
Women Have “Rights”
Many say abortion is about women’s rights, and the fact is women do have rights! They have a right to take contraceptives. They have a right to abstain from sex outside of marriage. They have a right to put their child up for adoption. But no woman and no doctor should have the right to take the life of an innocent and defenseless child! Abortion is killing our own flesh and blood. Scientifically (DNA), biologically (blood and heart beat), and biblically (see Jeremiah 1:5; Leviticus 17:11) it is undeniable—abortion ends life. How can we as a people and nation justify the right to kill our own children?
The Horror of Abortion
The recent videos of the Planned Parenthood scandal trafficking baby body parts has given America a glimpse into the horrors of abortion. Brace yourself. During abortion the babies are usually killed by being ripped from the womb limb by limb. Unbelievably, some are even partially born then decapitated or left to die. Abortion is happening in your city and thousands of times nation‐wide, daily! It must stop! We are greatly deceived if we think God is simply ignoring all this and just turning His head the other way.
A Special Biblical Issue and Prophetic Perspective
Yes, abortion is much more than a political issue—it’s a Biblical issue that carries severe consequences. It is critical America understand why this is so very serious and why this issue alone will bring devastating judgment upon our nation if not repented of and stopped—quickly.
The Biblical View: God Hears the Babies’ Blood Crying Out!
Did you know blood has a cry that can be heard by God? After Cain killed Able, God said, “The voice of your brother’s blood cries unto Me from the ground” (Gen. 4:10, emphasis added). Now imagine this—God hears the blood of over fifty‐five million babies crying out and thousands more every day! This is why God said in the “America, America!” prophecy (Link: http://shekinahtoday.org/america-america-Gods-prophetic-cry-to-awaken-a-nation), “For the cries of the unborn are calling out to Me.”
The Shedding of Innocent Blood Pollutes the Land!
The “shedding of innocent blood” results in what is known as “blood guilt” that must be accounted for (Deut. 19:10, amp). The shedding of innocent blood also defiles and pollutes the land (Num. 35:33).
“They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters. By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan, they polluted the land with murder. They defiled themselves by their evil deeds, and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight.” —Psalm 106:38–39, (NLT)
Psalm 106 describes people sacrificing their children to idols. Abortion is really like a child being sacrificed to the gods of choice, self, and convenience. In biblical times “child sacrifice” was often to the god Molech for the promise of financial blessing and gain. Greed and the daily murder of thousands of babies in the womb have likewise brought great financial gain to those involved (such as Planned Parenthood), with industry estimates of over a billion dollars annually. But abortion in America is also bringing something else—a day of reckoning!
A Day of Reckoning!
The word reckoning means a settlement of accounts, retribution for one’s actions, an appraisal or judgment, or an accounting as for things done. And God’s Word clearly says there must be an “accounting” for the shedding of innocent blood.
“Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning…Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.” — Genesis 9:5–6
God takes this very seriously!
America’s Greatest Debt
Right now, America’s greatest debt is not an economic or financial accounting; America’s greatest debt is the accounting for the flood of innocent blood shed— over fifty‐five million human lives aborted! God requires there be an accounting, a day of reckoning (avenging), for the murder of each and every innocent unborn child. This is why God said:
Choose life and not death!
For the cries of the unborn are calling out to Me.
The blood you have shed is knee deep.
Turn, turn or you will see blood run in your streets.
Turn Roe vs Wade or for all these lives you will surely pay.
For as you have sown much death, so shall you reap.
Judgment is waiting, judgment is waiting, While you keep on debating.
—“America, America!” prophecy, 2007, emphasis added
(You can read the full prophecy here)
Over forty years and fifty‐five million aborted babies have symbolically brought a “flood of blood” knee deep polluting our land! God in His incredible mercy and patience is warning America what is to come if this is not repented of and stopped. In the chapter 11, “What’s Coming Next, If . . . ?” of the recent book God’s Answer for America we will reveal just how severe this “day of reckoning” will be if America continues on her current path of great sin and destruction. God does not want to bring great judgment, but His justice can only be delayed so long. Regarding this, Thomas Jefferson once said:
“Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
An American Leader Who Understood God’s Justice
President Abraham Lincoln knew the Bible and understood very well the effect of nation’s sins. He believed the brutal Civil War was the judgment of God for over 200 years of bloodshed because of the injustice of slavery in America. He proclaimed this in his Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865, (emphasis added):
If God wills that Think about this: it’s estimated 750,000 died in the civil war; what do you think will happen as a result of the slaughter of over fifty‐five million innocent babies? Let the sobriety and severity of that statement sink in. The sobering reality is America’s greatest debt is a flood of blood that must be accounted for. Great judgment is standing at America’s door, and only by America turning to God in genuine repentance and ending abortions can she hope to be set free from the “flood of blood” and its deadly consequences—a day of reckoning! What We Can Do Now! “God’s Answer for America” is an urgent, timely, prophetic message and strategic plan that reveals how to dramatically transform our nation, beginning with our churches. While displaying the gravity of America’s spiritual condition and situation, Darrel and Cindy offer tremendous vision and hope for the astounding change that will come if we heed God’s solution and prophetic instructions.
The only hope to possibly avert great judgment upon America is a baptism of repentance from coast to coast and a bombardment of what we call in our book “Nation-Changing Prayer” with the pulpits of America humbly uniting to lead the way! For a key truth is: Changing the course of our nation does not begin in Washington D.C. but true lasting change begins with the pulpits of America.
