We live in troubled times. The 7 years of God's End Times likely begin on or about Sept. 17-28, 2020 with many tribulations occurring soon thereafter (ie. evil events by Satan &/or judgements by God).

If you suddenly die before you are a Born Again, True Christian, you are doomed to eternity in Hell. With End Times starting soon, many more people (thousands to millions to billions more) will die through Satan's evil plans. DO NOT ignore this warning, nor procrastinate!

Here is what you need to know, and take immediate action on:

AntiChrist Soon Rising

 Prophecy is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

We are all commanded to never despise prophecies, instead, we are to listen, consider and test each prophecy; keep the good, and shun the evil.

I am 99.99% sure that Julie is an End Times Prophetess of God. 

Here is her latest prophecy that Julie received today, Aug. 17, 2026.

Time is up.  Get all favorite sins out of your life, confess & repent.  Develop, more & more each day, a deep, intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as your God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King & friend.

There are some Jewish documents that state Noah and the Angels trapped 90% of the fallen, evil, Angels after the Great Flood.

This prophecy seems to suggest all or most of them have now been released, so as to do their evil pleasure.  This may be also true for the Nephilim born after the Great Flood, and demons held in the Bottomless Pit, the Abyss, &/or other similar prisons for evil.

Did you notice Jesus said the restraining force will no longer restrain; likely referring to the Holy Spirit.

That means the AntiChrist will soon rise as the evil Dictator over all of Earth; likely soon after WW3.

I suggest Aug. 25, 2026 is likely 9th of Av, the Jewish day of judgment and destruction (ie. Jewish calendar was ~1 month too early this year).  This may be WW3 with 2 billion people dead or dying within 24 hrs.

My Watchman analysis suggests USA will likely soon receive at least 7 surprise nukes from Russia, plus what China, N. Korea, and others (Iran ?) send as well, per Daniel 7:5, 11:1-4, and Rev. 6:7-8.  This will kill more than 16 million Americans on Day 1 of WW3.

See the recent previous postings for more details:

STOP SINNING NOW

When you sin, you open the door for the free entry of all evil beings.  

They will then attack, deceive,  and badger you to do evil &/or stir up negative emotions within you (eg. fear, anger, despisement, lust, covetousness, jealousy, murder, rape, theft, lying, secrecy,  betrayal, treason, rebellion, arson, laziness, sloth, etc.).  

You will no longer be fun to hang out with you and your demons.

In the alternative, stop sinning, confess & repent, pray to God for protection  NOW!

You and everybody else will need it.

May God have mercy on your soul.

Last Final Warning From Jesus?

I suggest the following prophecy from Jesus via Erin should be taken as the 2 minute warning whistle, not much time left, better score your touchdowns & home runs now, before it is too late.


My Testimony

God has worked miracles in me for my last 6 yrs. as a Born Again Christian.  I hoped I was "Rapture Ready".  I was deceived.

As I do not hear from the Holy Spirit, I just learned that I must still be a "Luke-Warm Christian" who has extensive heart issues that must be resolved before it is too late.

I was a Luke-Warm Christian for 60 years.  They closed our local church in 2016, so we stayed home & started reading our Bibles, cover to cover.  That is when we discovered our "nice person" status wasn't good enough, we were on our way to Hell.  We learned about "Born Again" for the first time, and immediately decided in Feb. 2017 to become Born Again ourselves, and get truly baptized (ie. we had been "sprinkled" as babies, and "confirmed" around 13 yrs. old, but we did a full immersion baptism).  Since then, we learned more & more how being a "nice, friendly, helpful person" wasn't good enough.  As we read the Bible more & more, our definition of sin was expanded greatly, and we started an on-going process of "see sin, flee, confess, repent, eliminate sin from our lives".  After 6 years, we are a lot less sinful, but far from adequate.  I still don't hear from the Holy Spirit.  

After reading Erin's prophecy presented here, I stand convicted.

I now see that I am still in grave danger.  I need to get radical.  I must  immediately slash & burn even more sin out of my life.  I believe this includes my sinful pride; arrogance; gluttony; inadequate patience; insufficient depth to my love for all others; laziness; distracted by Satan's offerings on the Internet; too much theoretical learning of God's Word with inadequate, or shallow, or incomplete application of those teachings in my own life; not reading my Bible every day; and so on.

By Erin's prophecy, I now consider myself to have received a final warning to repent & change for the better. 

I suggest you do the same.


True Christians

Based on my survey of Christians I did ~2019 in USA and Canada, I estimated 0.1% to 0.5% of self-declared Christians are True Christians with no significant heart issues (ie. No significant hypocrisy, truly righteous on a consistent basis).

The rest (99.5% to 99.9% of all self-declared Christians, apparently including me, as well) deceive themselves, and are on the verge of a fatal heart attack spiritually.  Seek immediate spiritual care through prayer, confession, repentance, and dramatic, immediate lifestyle changes.

Most people have an extremely narrow definition of sin (ie. they deceive themselves). If you do not meet all of the True Christian criteria (see below), you are in immediate grave danger.

If you ignore this warning, you will likely suffer the fate disclosed in Luke 13:22-28; and Mat 7:21-23, which clearly declare the consequences for "Workers of Iniquity" &/or chronic, unresolved heart issues:

[Mat 7:21-23 KJV] "21 Not every one that saith unto me, 'Lord, Lord', shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?' 23 And then will I profess unto them, 'I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.' "

When Jesus says 'depart from me, ye that work iniquity.', He means you will be immediately thrown into the Lake of Fire, for torment & burning for ever & ever.


Latest Prophecy from Erin, Prophetess of God

Here is Erin's latest prophecy:

Dream 693 – His Calling for Our Repentance

http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-693/


A True Christian will:

Fear God; know God, and know that Jesus willingly died as a blood sacrifice for their sins, then God raised Him from the dead; believes in God, their Creator, Lord, & Saviour; loves God (ie. God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit) with all their heart, mind, body, soul, & strength; loves their neighbours as themself; understands both God &  sin through reading God's Word every day; believes God's Word is truth, God-breathed and inspired, & preserved by God; learns to study & rightly divide God's Word; learns God’s commandments; confesses & repents to God all their sins (both known & unknown); is humble & contrite, and admit they are a broken person without God; turns away from sin and turn towards God; fully forgives all those who trespassed against them or hurt them; prays to God for God's forgiveness of their sins & His cleansing of them; lets their old sinful self (ie. a slave to sin, and a child of Satan) die off, so that their new, obedient, righteous self can be Born Again as a child of God; invites Jesus into their life, to dwell in their heart through faith; gets baptized by full immersion in water in the name of God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit; remembers God's promises that temptation will never be greater than what they can resist, and there will always be a path to escape from sin & temptation; gets all iniquity (ie. Willful, pre-planned, pre-meditated, or chronic sin) out of their life; obeys all of God's commandments to the best of their ability; prays to God that He hedges them in, & keeps them away from sin and Satan’s fiery darts; flees from sin & temptation, and when they fail, stops (ie. the sooner they stop sinning, the better) & repents & confesses their sins to God and asks for forgiveness & wisdom & strength to resist all same & similar sins in the future; does not grieve nor quench the Holy Spirit; dresses, acts, & thinks in a modest & humble manner; carefully studies alleged Prophets & prophesies, testing them against God's Word, rejects what is false, and keeps what is good; does not pray to, nor worship, nor sacrifice to anything other than God; rejects all False Gospels & heresies; praises & worships God; prays continuously to God the Father; obeys the righteous laws of man, & pays their tributes (taxes); pays a tithe of 10%; help widows, orphans, the poor, the sick, strangers, & neighbours; is joyous & thankful; avoids pride, boasting, grumbling, & murmurring (ie. rebellious complaining); lives each day by being & acting through the Fruit of the Holy Spirit (ie. faith, longsuffering, patience, meekness, gentleness, temperance, goodness, righteousness, godliness, joy, peace, truth, and love); denies themself, then lives for their Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ; shares their testimony & preaches the Gospel to every living creature; prepares themself to serve God each day, and to be mocked, scorned, rejected, persecuted, &/or martyred in the name of Jesus Christ.

### End of True Christian Criteria ###


CONCLUSION

Again, if you fail to meet one or more of the criteria for a True Christian, you are in grave, mortal danger.  I suggest you wake up, get very afraid, pray to God, confess your sins, ask God for help, repent your sins iniquities & blasphamies, make immediate & permanent lifestyle changes to fix your heart issues spiritually.

As for me, I am now awake and very afraid, and now that I have finished my Watchman duties of posting this here to warn you, I will immediately start on the next 5 steps listed above.  I suggest you do likewise.

God Bless!

Prepare, Purge, Focus, Repent

Time is short.  The world gets crazier & crazier.

Anything you can do or say will neither  stop nor slow nor divert the growing craziness, so why do you continue to engage?

Forget the world, and all that is in it.  Ignore the world and all the craziness.  Refuse to engage.

Focus exclusively on God, minimizing your sins, praying continuously, regularly purging your sin loading by regularly repenting as soon as you sin.

Be sure you recognize ALL sins, by studying God's 26 Commandments for Christians:   
https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

Here is Julie's latest prophecy on these instructions:

Personal Responsibility

Are you personally responsible for your actions and inactions?

Do you also carry the burden of all sins by your ancestors, all the way back to Noah, then all the way back to Adam & Eve?

Romans 5:12-21, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 shows us that Adam & Eve's sins led to a limited life (ie. Loss of eternal life) for them and all subsequent humans.

Psalm 51:5 goes even further, saying that there is guilt of sin at the moment of conception.

This Psalm is said to have been written on or about 990 - 931 BC by King David, so that he could repent his great sins concerning Bathsheba.

The concept of ancestral sin is found in Exodus 20:5 , 34:6-7, and Deut. 5:9.

Jer. 31:29-30 subsequently prophesized around 600 BC that the day would come when the son would no longer suffer the iniquities of the father.

Finally, around 582 BC, Ezekiel 18 declares God's commandment that every person was from that day forth, solely responsible for their own sins.

Romans 5:12-21 says Adam brought sin into the world, and subsequently, everybody became sinners. Many misinterprit these verses in Romans by failing to consider Jer. 31:29-30 and Ezekiel 18.

Augustine (354-430 AD) subsequently went on to coin the phrase "originating sin", but was somewhat misled with his self-confessed mediocrity of understanding Koine Greek.

God made mankind upright (ie. good, without sin) according to Eccles. 7:29, so sin wasn't present at Creation.

Adam & Eve suffered the loss of eternal life due to their sins, as did all other humans.

Adam & Eve were also evicted from the Garden of Eden.  When a landlord evicts the current generation, the next generation of the evicted has no right to reclaim the Garden; it belongs to the Owner.

God was under no known obligation to provide neither eternal life nor the Garden to His creation.  Therefore both of these were God's gifts through grace to Adam & Eve.  Their simultaneous eviction from the Garden and loss of eternal life was God's judgement for their sins.  Once they lost both of these, neither of these prior gifts of grace remain as rightful property or assets that are still in the estates of Adam or Eve.  Neither of these asset (ie. Occupancy of Garden, and Eternal Life) are available to be passed on to subsequent generations as a legecy of Adam & Eve.

This is suggested as an alternative explanation which is more simple than Original Sin, and yet fully meets and describes all parts of the Bible.

If you feel I have failed to adequately describe or explain 1 or more Bible verses by this proposal, please let me know in the Comments below.

Eastern Orthodox Christians saw this fall of Adam & Eve as an infection with the "disease of death".

Augustine and subsequent Western theologins however saw it as Original Sin.

It appears Augustine decided to ignore Jer. 31:29-30 and Ezekiel 18.  Original sin becomes a moot point, even if it existed, as God said in Ezekiel that He would blot out and forgive all prior sins that are repented.  That obviously would include Original Sin.  Secondly, God expressly commands that vicarious or ancestral sin or Original Sin is no longer in effect as of 582 BC (or there abouts).

Besides Augustine (and my new theory presented above), there are three other theories that try to explain Original Sin (see http://www.the-highway.com/fall_Sproul.html ).  To me, all of them are far fetched, spurious, doubtful, poorly supported by the Bible, or not necessary.

This Original Sin idea subsequently got expanded into "Total Depravity" under Calvin's TULIP doctrine.

My analysis, if fully supported by the Bible, seems to deflate Augustine and Calvinism, while somewhat supporting Arminianism.

These are complicated theologies, and I don't begin to know how to spell them, let alone all the nuances of each of them.

Perhaps it's best to regard all of this as a Satanic distraction away from the most important issues:


  • Jesus Christ and His Teachings
  • God's Word in the Bible
  • Removing sin and iniquity from our lives
  • Loving God with all of our mind, body, soul, & strength
  • Understanding the Gospel
  • World-wide testimony and spreading the Gospel.

Love Vs. Iniquity

This Blog Posting is Part 2, an expansion of Part 1: Exactly How Do You Love Jesus?

The Bible tells us that Apostle John loved Jesus in the "agapao" way.

"Agapao" is the Greek word (Strong's G25) for a Holy kind of eternal, all consuming type of love.

 Luke 10:27, Mark 12:30, John 13:34, and Mat 22:37 tells us to love God in an "agapao" way.

 In John 14:15, John records Jesus saying "If ye love me, keep my commandments". This again is the "agapao" type of love.

In  1 John 2:15-17 we are told not to love the world nor the things therein with an "agapao" type of love. The world is temporary, full of pride and lust.  Even though God created the world, the world is not God, for God is permanent.  We must love the Creator and our fellow humans, not the rest of creation.  Agapao love of the rest of the created world is idolatry.

In the OT, Deut 6:4-5 and Levit 19:17-18 tells us to love God and neighbours in a Hebrew "ahab", Strong's H157 manner, similar to Strong's G25 "agapao" type of love.

Apostle Peter could never bring himself to "agapao" type of love for Jesus, as Peter was stuck at the "fileo" level of friendship, not deep abiding love that Jesus gave, and wanted in return (see John 21:7-18). No wonder Peter denied Jesus 3 times a short time later.

"Agapao" type of love is what the Bible says and means when "a man knows a woman" and they become one flesh. God's love for us is "agapao" love.

 For more understanding of "agapao" love, see C.S. Lewis' The Four Loves (Agapao) https://youtu.be/gaVaGGpeQKM

Is there a danger or consequence to a shallow love of Jesus, just the friendship level, the "fileo" level?

 In Mat 7:21-23 the people cried 'Lord, Lord', and claimed to have prophesized, cast out devils, & done many wonderful works. But Jesus said "I never knew you: depart from me, you workers of iniquity".

"Depart from me" means these workers of iniquity must leave Heaven, and get thrown into Hell.

 In Mat 13:41-42, at the 2nd Coming of Jesus, Jesus sends His angels to gather up all those doing iniquity, casting them into a furnace of fire, to their wailing and nashing of teeth.

 Iniquity is deadly.

For all those misleading Pastors who teach a simple A-B-C, magical prayer as being 100% sufficient for salvation, they need to reform their incorrect teachings, and tell everybody that they have previously misled.

 When "agapao" love is missing, iniquity reigns.

Iniquity is defined as pre-planned, purposeful sin. KJV uses 6 different words for iniquity: H205, H5766, H5771, H5999 G93, and G458.

Mat 25:12 tells us the parable of the Five Foolish Virgins, not adequately prepared, not watching, arriving after the door was shut, saying "Lord, Lord, open to us". The Master said "I know you not".

Again, a shallow relationship (ie. anything but deep "agapao" type of love, so the groom doesn't know the foolish virgins in a deep "agapao" kind of way). 

I suggest that a half-baked kind of love leads to a half-baked type of preparations for the groom's arrival.

Today  the church is Jesus' bride, who must watch and prepare herself and be continuously ready for His arrival.

What should a wedding groom think & feel when his bride has 1,001 priorities which are wrongly judged more important than getting ready for the wedding ceremony?

 The logical corollary to John 14:15 is that those who fail to follow Jesus' commandments (10 in OT, 16 more in NT, 26 commandments in total, see "God's 26 Commandments for Christians", pdf document here: https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/p/documents.html ) are hypocrites; they pretend to deeply love Jesus, but fall short of true, deep, "agapao" type of love of Christ.

They pretend, but truly only love Jesus half heartedly, merely for show, or virtue signaling, or political correctness, or to extract maximum benefit with minimal effort, or to manipulate others, or band wagon jumping, or to avoid personal shame.

 Is this similar to the Pharisees that upset Jesus so much, with their "holier than thou" attitude, and their lack of "agapao" love for both man and God?

 In Luke 6:46, Jesus complained "And why call ye me, 'Lord, Lord', and do not the things which I say?" Those "things which I say" are Jesus' teachings, mainly His commandments.

 There is a huge difference between iniquity (ie. pre-meditated, purposeful sin &/or living in chronic ongoing sin) vs. accidental sin.

 Accidental sin will likely continue as long as you have a flesh body.

 Iniquity however, can be eliminated if you are truly saved, are Born Again, have the help of the Holy Spirit, and have a deep "agapao" type of love for Jesus Christ.

 False conversions (ie. those who pretend but are not True Christians), will continue with both iniquity and accidental sins in their lives. They may think they are destined for Heaven, but they will be thrown into Hell to be tormented and burned forever when their shallow, half hearted love and their ongoing iniquity is exposed. They will likely be the weepers in Hell.

 Here are some more verses that warn against iniquity: Ex. 20:5, 34:7; Job 4:8, 13:26, 34:32; Psalm 5:5, 6:8, 25:11, 32:2, 36:2, 51:5, 103:3; Prov. 22:8; Is. 53:5; Hab. 1:13; Ez. 3:18, 18:26; Mat 7:21-23, 13:41-42, 24:12, 25:1-13, 25:31-45; Luke 6:46, 13:25-27; John 14:15; Acts 1:18, 8:23; 2 Tim 2:19; Rom 6:19; 2 Thes 2:7; James 3:6; and Rev 14:9-20.

 Hosea 4:6 describes how Israel was destroyed by chronic sin. In Romans 1:21-28 people knew God but vanity and arrogance caused them not to worship God, but worship themselves, so they continued to sin, and God allowed them to continue in their sins & reprobate minds.

 Sin, especially chronic sin (ie. Iniquity) brings sickness. See: Ezek 4:17; Ps. 38:3, 107:17; Hosea 7:1; Zeph. 1:17; John 9:2; Micah 6:13; James 5:14-15; and 1Corith. 11:27-30.

If anybody doubts the deadliness of iniquity, or believes God's Commandments are "soooo Old Testament", and not applicable to those claiming salvation under Jesus Christ; that mere belief in Jesus is enough for Heavenly salvation,  then these deceived (&/or Deceivers) should be able to fully explain away all of these troublesome verses shown here.

You are Likely Going to Hell

Satan-inspired Preachers are misleading millions of luke-warm Christians about the danger of iniquity.  In this Blog posting, I will tell you about Bob, someone who is currently on the path towards Hell, but he doesn't know that.  It's a surprise.  Hopefully Bob turns that situation around before he dies.

Are you a luke-warm Christian who practices 1 or more sins, vices, pleasures, secret indulgences, or other taboo subjects?  Whatever the sin may be (there's lots to choose from), you have reserved seating in Hell for burning and torment forever.

Based on a recent survey, about 95.5% of people in N. America are not Rapture Ready.  If they died today, they would die in their sins, then go to Hell for eternal burning and torment.  Today, there is approximately 2 people dying every second somewhere on the planet, 150,000 dead every day.  You could be next.

Your trip to Hell is guaranteed if you live in iniquity, even if you feel you're a good person, attend church, assume you are "Born Again", receive private revelations from God, or otherwise.

The Friendly Drunk

To make the point, let's take a hypothetical example.

Bob is very drunk on one or more occassions at least weekly.  Bob is a happy drunk.  Bob has church friends and drinking friends, so these two world can co-exist nicely as they rarely interfere with each other.  Bob sobers up most Sundays, and will usually attend church, even if he has a bad hangover.  Bob fully participates in the activities of the church, and is generous in the collection plate, but not so generous that it cuts into his drinking money.  None of Bob's church friends have said anything to Bob about his excessive drinking, and most don't even know about it.  Bob has been arrested twice for drinking & driving, and the next time he's caught, the Judge told him he will be going to jail for a long time.

Bob came to Jesus many decades ago.  His church had declared at that time that Bob is a "Born Again Christian".  Bob likes it that the Pastor says "Once Saved, Always Saved".  Bob likes it that he isn't bothered by anybody about his chosen lifestyle, his drinking, and the partying & fooling around that sometimes accompanies his drinking. Bob occassionally prays in church on Sunday.  Bob thinks these prayers are a good idea, just in case. As these behaviours have been going on for more than 20 years, it is a well established habit, unlikely to change unless a critical event occur.

Bob thinks he is going to heaven when he dies.  Bob enjoys this life, and thinks he will enjoy heaven too.  Bob likes Bob's Rules, and is glad that his church, his Pastor, and God don't bother Bob about his lifestyle.

God knows everything about Bob; his drinking, his other sinful behaviours, his bad thoughts, his lusting and coveting.  God also knows His Word, and His careful work to reveal His Word to His prophets, and maintain it safe all these years.

God knows that Bob has ignored God's Word.  Bob has constructed a false god in his alcohol soaked mind, a god that readily accepts Bob's drinking and other sins.  Bob's god is a false god; blasphamy to the one true God.  Bob is in big trouble for making a false god, and worshiping Bob's false god.  God sees a disconnect between Bob's behaviour and God's Word.  Galations 5:21 clearly says that drunkedness is a sin, and prohibits drunks from entering heaven.

God is also angered by the Pastor's careless statements and misguided assurances to his congregration, leading all of them into chronic sin.

God knows that Bob doesn't pray continuously like God instructed him to do in 1 Thessalonian 5:16.  Unfortunnately for Bob, his chronic sin have built a wall between Bob and God.  God can no longer hear Bob's prayers, starting a long time ago.  Only if Bob stops sinning, confesses his sins, asks for God's forgiveness, turns away from his sin and turn towards God; only then will God be able to hear Bob's prayers again.

Jesus Christ loves Bob.  Jesus knows and is sad that Bob doesn't love Jesus.  Bob treats Jesus like a distant acquaintance.  Jesus knows Bob lives in iniquity.  Jesus is sad about the 1-way love, but He is determined to be just with Bob during Bob's trial before the Great White Throne.  Jesus knows that Bob will be found guilty of iniquity.  As punishment for Bob's iniquity, Bob will be thrown into the Lake of Fire to be burned and tormented for ever & ever.

17 Deadly Sins of Iniquity


According to the Bible, continuing to practice one or more of these 17 Deadly Sins on a chronic, premeditated basis will guarantee that you are going to Hell’s Lake of Fire for torment forever & ever.   The 17 Deadly Sins are described in 1 John 3:15:   hatred towards God or other humans is equivalent to murder;   Galatians 5:19  adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness;    Galatians 5:20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresy;   Galatians 5:21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.

What's The Solution?

Before Bob dies, Bob has to abandon his life of sin, and the false god in Bob's imagination.

If Bob suddenly realizes he is in desparate peril, Bob can choose to learn God's 26 Commandments for Christians.  After reading these Laws, Bob can swallow hard, and steel himself to leave all his sins behind.  Bob should confess his sins to God, repent his sins, ask for God's forgioveness, turn away from his sins and turn towards God.  As soon as Bob does all that, the wall of sin that Bob constructed will be immediately demolished.  God can now hear Bob's prayers.  Bob can pray continuously, ask for the Holy Spirit to fill Bob's soul, so as to comfort Bob, protect Bob, and help him from sinning again.  Bob can pray continuously with results, for prayer will change Bob so that he understands, thinks, feels, and acts more and more like the Bible says all humans should be.

Bob is now a True Born Again Christian, and a Child of God.

Bob is Rapture Ready.

High Alert: Israel War, Oil, Brexit, Economic Collapse

Based on world events and Bible prophecy, I issue a high alert from now (2019-09-02) till Nov. 15, 2019 for the starting of the craziness.

Armed battles between Iran-Hezbollah-Hamas vs. Israel, Israeli election, Brexit, signing of a Middle East "Peace Treaty" contrary to God's Covenant will likely happen between now and Oct. 1, 2019.

After that, get yourselves ready for the likely long-awaited Rapture of the righteous believers of Jesus Christ, uprising of the AntiChrist, & collapse of world financial markets before the end of 2019

At some point between now and March 2022, there will likely be a world-wide war (likely going nuclear sooner or later with 2 billion dead), severe persecution & execution of Christians & Jews by the 1-World Government of the AntiChrist, & total world-wide chaos.

Here are the details, as follows:

Financial Mafia

In a supportive and self-serving role, the Globalists, Billionaires, Bankers and Central Banks (hereinafter referred to as the "FM", the Financial Mafia) have been very busy since the 2008 Great Recession.

The FM have racked up huge debts, hollowed out all the assets, issued trillions of $ in derivatives, and other mirages so as to extract maximum wealth for themselves before the financial house of cards collapse.  The FM still believe in their ultimate goal of owning and controlling everything, while preparing the world's population for Slavery & Serfdom II (the Dark Ages all over again).

However, the Great Recession scared some (or most) of them, as they know too well the error of trusting their fellow FM psychopaths.

Therefore all or most of the FM members are hedging their bets by ensuring they and their immediate family, friends, and "trusted" staff will be protected; even if their fellow FM psychopaths turn on them and throw them to the wolves (ie. the slaves, surfs, and what remains of the Rule of Law systems) so as to save the FM's "Inner Circle".  Most FM members have been hedging their bets by building high security compounds, siphoning off some private hidden assets, food caches, and similar self-preservation moves, rather than trusting in the overall FM plan.

All these FM psychopaths smile at each other, publicly profess their 100% support for their shared FM plan, all while preparing their private escape plan.  The lack of trust tips their hand to the slaves & serfs, and weakens the overall FM plan.  These will be the flies in the FM ointment that partially derail the overall FM plan for world domination; creating additional chaos, losses, and suffering by everybody (FM members, serfs, and slaves alike).

Everybody's savings, real estate property values, pension plans, investments are at risk; whether they are stored in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETF's, derivatives, GIC's, bank accounts, or precious metals.  Access to credit will quickly dry up, and demand loans will be demanded to be repaid immediately.  The collapse will likely include a Black Swan Event, and a Minsky Moment

If you trust any of the FM's and their promises to act in your best interests (ie. contrary to the FM's best interest) through the soon to arrive crash, you are a fool.

United Kingdom & Brexit

Brexit is full steam ahead.  PM Boris has thrown the steering wheel out the window by proroguing  Parliament (ie. extending summer recess) until just before the Oct. 31, 2019 deadline.

Is this the separation of the clay that does not cling to the iron in the feet and 10 toes of Danial's Biblical prophecy?

Some unknown actors (EU punishers of UK, or others) may choose to make the separation process worse, rather than a smooth transition.

The chaos will weaken the UK currency and scare the Canary Wharf  crowd (important part of the Financial Mafia, see above).

The Rothchild Bankers (the FM of the 1800's) ensured prompt knowledge of the truth, then used the truth to dupe the UK financial markets by spreading known-false rumors about Napoleon defeating Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, cornering the market at pennies on the dollar, then reaping huge rewards when the truth was eventually known a few days later.  Will their FM descendants of 2019 use similar tricks to unfairly strengthen their winnings through Brexit?

Israel

Israel is proud, likely overconfident, and will continue pushing its long term agenda (Zionist dreams of owning 100% of the Biblical Promise Land, 3rd Temple on Temple Mount, etc.) through Israel's IDF, Mossad, and support from allies (USA and other secret allies).  The Israeli economy is strong, they have huge oil & gas reserves on the verge of production.  As the world economy collapses, the ongoing wealth of Israel will be very tempting for all Muslim nations surrounding them.

Iran

With the ongoing sanctions imposed on Iran by USA and others, and Iran's long standing hate for USA (Iran's so-called "Big Satan") and Israel (Iran's so-called "Little Satan"), Iran will soon reach a n ultimate climax: Strike Now, or Strike Never.  It is likely that Iran's puppets or proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey will support Iran (and their own domestic agendas) by leading the attack against Israel.

Middle East War Becomes World-Wide War

The Middle East War of 2019 will start small, but will quickly escalate.  Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38, and   Zech 13:8-9 seem to be linked in the 2019 war against Israel, in some unknown sequence.

The Bible's Isaiah 17:1 says Damascus will become a ruinous heap in one night.  Damascus is close to fulfilling that prophecy now (see 2015 drone footage here), but will likely be finished off during this war.

Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia, Armenia, Syria, Russia, Turkey, Ethiopia, and Iran will all join against Israel.  Israel is strong, but with 200,000 rockets aimed at Israel, their IDF and air defense system will become overwhelmed as Israel's enemies join the fight, one after another.  Israel will likely go nuclear.

Israeli nukes will likely enrage their enemies even more, making their hatred of Israel even worse.  Two-thirds of Israel's people will likely be killed, but God will intervene on Israel's behalf to save the 1/3 remnant.

Flow of Middle East oil will be stopped or severely curtailed.  World-wide energy prices and availability, especially gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene for jets planes, home heating oil, and propane will soon disappear or be unaffordable.

Food prices will soon go through the roof, store shelves will be empty.

It will be a bloody war all around.  The allies of Israel (USA, NATO, and others) might be nuked by the Communist-Shia Muslim Alliance (Russia, China, N. Korea, Pakistan) so as to support the Shia Muslim alliance against Israel, and resolve the age-old conflict between USA and Communism.  That is where and when this Middle East War comes to your doorstep as World War 3.

One of these may launch a nuclear EMP weapon strike, killing all electrical-electronic devices over 1 or more continents.  This will kill electrical power generation, Internet, TV, radio, and possibly all vehicle electrical systems.  No city water pumping, fire hydrants empty, no sewage disposal, no refrigeration.  Grid down!

Are you ready without Jesus Christ?

The devastation on all sides will ensure the rise of Satan, the AntiChrist, and False Prophet through the 1-World Government of the United Nations.

After the first nuclear ICBM salvo, there will likely be a pause.  People around the world will scream support and beg for "Peace & Safety" through UN's One World Government, in spite of Biblical Prophecy warning of the consequences.  The Middle East Agreement between many will likely divide Israel and provide peace and guarantees in exchange for totalitarian persecution of Christians, Jews, and all others who resist Satan's 1-World Government.

After this limited nuclear war, nobody will be in a position of strength, and will be unable to refuse the agreement.

Pastor J.D. Farag's Bible Prophecy Update 2019-9-1

God's Roadmap to the End:  Oct. 31, 2019 Storm Approaches

Probable Sequence of Events in God's End Times Process

Dr. Robert Mawire's Sermon of 2019-9-1:   The New World Order: One World Economy

At 50:00 minutes into the video, Dr. Mawire explains that the 7 year long End Times process for the return of Jesus Christ will begin on or about Oct. 1, 2019 when the Middle East Agreement is signed.  He also explains that from 2014 to Oct. 2019 were the 7 fat years (cut off early), followed by the 7 lean years of famine, pestilence, disease, war, and persecution.

God's Roadmap to the End:   Understanding The Rapture

In this video, Jaco explains how in 32 AD, Jesus Christ and the others raised from the dead at his crucifixion (ie. the first believers in Christ) were the First Fruits of the Holy Barley Harvest.

Fast forward 2,000 year.  The main part of the Holy Barley Harvest of the righteous, Born Again, True Christians will occur on or about Oct. 1 2019 (ie. on or about the signing of Middle East Agreement).  Shortly thereafter, construction of the Third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem will commence, the AntiChrist will rise up as the totalitarian leader of all the world, the Mark of the Beast System will be instituted, and severe persecution of Christians and Jews will begin (up to and including  imprisonment, torture, and beheading).

On or about March 2023, all or most True Christians will be dead, 2/3 of all Jews will be dead.  Many Muslims, pagans, agnostics, atheists, and other religions will also be dead for a grand total of 2 Billion or so dead.

Next, the AntiChrist will seize the Third Jewish Temple, and declare himself to be god (fraudulently impersonating God).

Jesus Christ will then return, all those dead in Christ will rise to the clouds to be with Jesus, those still alive who did not take the Mark of the Beast will rise also to join them in the clouds.

Jesus will set down on the Mount of Olives, a huge earthquake and flood will occur, Jesus will throw all remaining sinners and those with the Mark of the Beast into God's Winepress of Wrath.

Next, Jesus will save the remaining Jews (ie. the 1/3 remnant of the Jews) who will flee to the desert under the protection of Jesus Christ their Messiah, where He will lead them and school them in righteousness.

The 144,000 are the First Fruits of the Holy Wheat Harvest.

The 1/3 remnant will re-populate the Earth during the 1,000 year Millenium rein of Jesus Christ on Earth.  At the end of the 1,000 year Millenium Kingdom, Satan will be released from the Bottomless Pit, fool some more people from the Millenium Kingdom, and try to revolt against Jesus Christ as King.  Satan and his gang will be destroyed by fire from Heaven, the remaining people of the Millenium Kingdom will be raised as the main Holy Wheat harvest  God and His people will live together in happiness for ever & ever

***   The End   ***

Worst Case Scenario

Your worst case scenario (nuclear war nightmare) soon arrives.  What can you do now to save yourself and your loved ones?

Once upon a time, a millionaire had many security men and a money belt full of gold around his waste so as to protect his gold from theft.  He accidentally fell overboard off his huge yacht.  His crew and security personnel were unable to save him because he refused to take off his money belt.  The 40 lbs. of gold in his  money belt took him straight to the bottom of the ocean.

Die with your possessions, rather than lose your possessions?  If you must die, surely there is some thing and some reason for which to die that is better than a few lumps of shiny metal, or a rusty car, or a house that you don't own (remember the bank owns it via mortgage, and you owe, likely forever).

Everything you currently have and enjoy are easily taken away by your government, the Financial Mafia ("FM"), nuclear war, your selfish neighbours, or Satan.  This may soon include your mortal life, and the lives of your family members or neighbours.

Do not be afraid of losing everything in this life, including your life.  It is the loss of your eternal life in Heaven (not your current mortal life) that you need to be fearful about losing (see Matthew 10:28-31): 
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell[ie. Satan and AntiChrist]. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing [0.25 pennies, the smallest valued coin]? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father [God].  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."

Forgiven Sins & Salvation Through Jesus Christ

Jesus offers to save a Sinner from his sins and his just punishment in Hell.
Click on the image to see full sized version.


There is only one God, and Jesus Christ is the only way to God and Heaven.

If you don't choose to go to Heaven through the pardoning of your sins offered by Jesus Christ, you are guaranteed to go to Hell as punishment for your sins in this life.

Somewhere on planet Earth, 2 people die every single second of the day.  You could be next, maybe tonight or tomorrow.  If you die before you become a Born Again True Christian, you are guaranteed a 1-way ticket to Hell.

Millions and millions of people will soon die suddenly in WW3, which is soon coming in a few weeks or months.  Will that include you?

When you die in this fallen, sinful world, you will "sleep" in your grave until your resurrection by Jesus Christ so as to attend your trial before God, standing accused for your unrepented, unforgiven life of sin.  Once God judges you guilty of your sins under God's Commandments, you will be thrown into fiery Hell as punishment for your sins, where you will be tormented forever and ever for an eternity.

Jesus Christ is the Way, The Only Way

Only Jesus Christ offers protection and salvation of an eternal life in Heaven.  Allah, Buddha, Hare Krishna, nor any other false god nor spiritual leader can offer what Jesus Christ can offer.

If you're not a Christian, or an atheist, or agnostic when you die; your denial of God's existence, or denial of His Commandments will not excuse you, nor save you from God's wrath and punishment for your sins.  Ignorance of the law is no excuse; even here on Earth.

Caution for Nominal, So-Called Christians !

You must have a full, intimate, loving relationship with God, repent your sins, turn away from a life of sin and turn towards God and his righteous commandments.  In other words, you must be a True Christian.

If you say you believe but purposely continue to sin, it won't save you from your just punishment in Hell for your ongoing life of sin.

Luke warm, half hearted, last minute, or hypocritically pretending to belief in Jesus Christ while you continue in your selfish life of sin will be insufficient, as shown by John 14:15 where Jesus Christ said:
"If ye love me, keep my commandments."
Revelation 14:12 speaks of those souls who will be gathered by Jesus to Heaven and everlasting life during His harvest at His 2nd Coming:
"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
and Paul describing in Gallations 2:20 how he left behind his former live of sinning and persecuting Christians when he was "crucified with Christ" (ie. Paul was saved by Jesus Christ as described in Acts 9:3-5, and was Born Again in Christ):
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
and Matthew 19:16-17 where a rich man asked Jesus how he could insure that he would go to Heaven:
 "And, behold, one came and said unto Him [Jesus Christ], 'Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?'  And He [Jesus Christ] said unto him, 'Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.'  "

 and Matthew 7:71-23 where Jesus Christ said:
"Not every one that saith unto me, 'Lord, Lord' shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?'  And then will I profess unto them, 'I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity [iniquity is a conscious, purposeful decision to sin]'."
and you must be Born Again in Jesus Christ if you wish to go to Heaven as explained in John 3:3, John 3:7, and 1 Peter 1:23, as follows:

"Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'  "
"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."

Jesus Christ's 8 Step Plan to Save You

Here is the 8 step plan I recommend for you and your loved ones:
  1. Admit and believe that God created and owns all of His creation (ie. God owns you and everything else in the Universe).  Admit and believe that Heaven, Hell, and God's 27 Commandments for Christians exist.
     
  2. Admit you have sinned against God's 27 Commandments for Christians at least one or more times in your life.
     
  3. Truly and deeply believe that Jesus Christ is God, that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a perfect life, performed miracles to heal the sick, was unjustly accused and convicted, was crucified on the cross for everybody's sins, died, was buried, ascended to Heaven after 3 days and 3 nights in the grave, and now sits on the right hand of God the Father in Heaven as His only begotten Son of God.
     
  4.  Ask for God's forgiveness of your sins through the blood of Jesus Christ.
     
  5. Turn away from all your sins, and turn towards God.
     
  6. Ask for Jesus Christ to give you a new heart so you are Born Again in Jesus Christ, and to fill you up with the Holy Spirit.
     
  7. Pray continuously, and read your Bible each day so you better understand God, God's way, and how to walk God's path in the light.
     
  8. Share your testimony with your family, friends, neighbours, and strangers so they can learn about God, and your Born Again life, so they can choose to save themselves too.
If you are truly Born Again, you will soon see more and more righteous fruit (ie. good works) produced by your daily living, and a rapid and continuous reduction in the number and severity of your ongoing sins.  First, you will have less & less iniquity (purposeful, premeditated sin), then your accidental sin will also be reduced more & more over time.

Note that you are not saved by your good works; you are saved exclusively by Jesus.  No matter how righteous you become after being Born Again, your so-called "good works" are just filthy rags compared to Jesus and His crucifixion on the cross (see Isaiah 64:4-9).

Do not contaminate Jesus' payment for your sins through His suffering on the cross.  Do not mix the filthy rags of your so-called "good works" with the purity of Jesus' payment for all sins on the cross.  Jesus will not appreciate your haughty, holier-than-thou attitude.  Always be meek, humble, and circumspect of your fallen state; Born Again or not.

Repent Now, or Repent Never

There isn't much time left.  I plead with you.  I don't want to lose you to Satan's lies and bribes.  I fear for you burning in Hell, tormented forever and ever. 

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE !

Soon, it will be extremely difficult, with many negative consequences, for you to become a True Christian.  If you love your sin so much today, and see so little value in becoming a True Christian today, how will you become a True Christian sometime in the future when the AntiChrist will kill you, torture you, imprison you, or persecute you for becoming a True Christian?

I say to you, It's now or never.

Is God Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?

Abortion is often framed by two camps:  Pro-Choice, or Pro-Life.  Where does God stand on this important issue?

Everybody has free will, able to choose how we run our lives.  Christians say God gave humans free will and it is an inalienable right.  Does that include Pro-Choice?

Pro-Choice claims to give every woman the freedom to choose for herself, with no restrictions (or a few reasonable restrictions that can be overcome some way eg. delay, informed consent, affordable fee, licensed facility with all necessary skills and equipment in case something goes wrong, etc.). 

Pro-Choice could have been called "Pro-Death", but its supporters realized it would be an unsavory name, and a tougher sell than the implied freedom of Pro-Choice.

Abortion in USA

Roe Vs. Wade was a famous Texas court case that allowed a woman to get an abortion.  US State of Texas appealed to the US Supreme Court in 1971 (decision released in 1973), where the Court decided the government could not restrict abortions in the first trimester, could have reasonable restrictions in the 2nd trimester, and could ban abortions in the 3rd trimester unless it endangered the mother's life.

In 1992, the US Supreme Court case of Planned Parenthood Vs. Casey amended the Roe Vs. Wade decision from a trimester framework to one based on viability of the unborn baby in womb, and also reduced the Court's ability to intervene on cases filed against Federal or State laws on abortions.

It is estimated that 60 million surgical abortions have occurred in USA since Roe Vs. Wade.

In 2015, CDC reported:
638,169 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. The abortion rate for 2015 was 11.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 188 abortions per 1,000 live births.

In addition to surgical abortions, since early 1960's there has been pharmaceutical-based emergency contraception (eg. heavy doses of birth control pills, "Plan B" pill, Morning After Pill, etc.) to stop a fertilized egg from implanting, and the Abortion Pill to abort newly implanted embryos.  In the USA, CDC reported in 2013 that for 2006 to 2010, 5.8 Million sexually active women used pharmaceuticals as an emergency contraception.  Reading between the lines, we can calculate approximately 9.2 Million babies may have been aborted in this 5 year period (ie. 1.84 million babies per year on average).

Abortion in Canada

In 1869, Canada made all abortions illegal. Illegal abortions and deaths of women prompted a relaxing of the law.  In 1969, abortions were permitted provided they were performed at some select hospitals if they were approved by the Therapeutic Abortion Committee at that hospital.  Feeling abortion approvals were too restrictive, Dr. Morgentaler started to focus his medical practice on abortions in 1968 by setting up his own private abortion clinic in Quebec.  He was repeatedly charged under Section 251 (4) of Canadian Criminal Code for performing illegal abortions in Quebec.  Juries of his peers continued to acquit him under the defense of necessity due to the plight of the women who sought an abortion but couldn't obtain one through the approved governmental system.  After 3 trials and 3 acquittal (and an Appeal Court overturning one of the jury acquittals, substituting a conviction for which Morgentaler spent 10 months in jail), the government gave up.  In 1976, the Quebec government announced there would be no further prosecution of bonafide doctors for illegal abortions in Quebec.

Morgentaler and other doctors spread the abortion movement to other provinces beginning in 1983, and were quickly charged for illegal abortions in Ontario.  In 1988, Canadian Supreme Court finally ruled that the Criminal Code was unconstitutional under Section 7 of the Charter of Rights (installed in 1982 at the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution).  No subsequent legislation on abortion has passed, so there is currently no enforceable federal laws against abortions in Canada.  Each individual Province or Territory have regulations controlling abortions.

In 2017, CIHI and ARCC reported there were 94,030 surgical abortions in Canada.  ARCC calculated there were 7.167 Million Canadian women of childbearing age (15 - 44), so the abortion rate was 13.1 per 1000 woman; 11% higher than the USA incidence rate for abortion.

Based on a study in British Columbia in 2005 for 1.4 million women of child bearing age (10 - 59 years old, total BC population of 3.9 million people), emergency contraception drugs were used 4 or more times per year by 0.9% of the women, 3 times per year for 2.1% of the women, twice per year by 10.4% of women, and only once per year by 86.6% of the women.   During the study, the 20 to 24 age group had the greatest use of EC's, at 38.9 treatments per 1000 women per year.  By making EC's available as over-the-counter drugs from pharmacists without prescription, there was up to a 47% increase in the use of EC's (45 - 49 age group).  It is estimated that 1,362 pregnancies were prevented by EC's in this 2 year study period in BC.  Extrapolating to all of Canada, we estimate 6,471 babies per year are killed by EC's.

Adding EC deaths to surgical abortions, we obtain a total death rate of 100,501 babies per year in Canada.

Today in Ontario (similar to other jurisdictions in Canada), emergency contraception prescriptions can be obtained at a doctor's clinic or pharmacy without doctor's prescription.  The Abortion Pill requires a doctor's examination, proof of pregnancy, and a doctor's prescription, then the cost of the pills are free (ie. paid for by Ontario's medical insurance program, OHIP).

Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood, & Abortion

Margaret Sanger was the USA-born woman who was the atheist, communist, neo-Malthusian, and eugenicist who founded Planned Parenthood.  Sanger was a strong proponent of negative eugenics, which aimed to improve human hereditary traits through social intervention by reducing the reproduction of those who were considered unfit (similar to the Nazi government).  Sanger published her eugenics book Women and the New Race in 1920.  She wanted to use birth control methods so as to "assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit".

Somehow, Margaret Sanger obtained the endorsement of Black community leaders, proposing birth control clinics in black communities, building the first one in Harlem, New York City in 1929.  Although Sanger was never reported as openly racist, she had close ties and sought support of the Klu Klux Klan and other racist individuals and groups, likely so as to maximize her personal mission of birth control by all available means.

In spite of all this, Margaret Sanger was strongly against abortion.  In 1916, when she opened her first birth control clinic, she was employing harsh rhetoric against abortion. Flyers she distributed to women exhorted them in all capitals:
"DO NOT KILL,   DO NOT TAKE LIFE,   BUT PREVENT"
and
"Abortion was the wrong way—no matter how early it was performed it was taking life; that contraception was the better way, the safer way—it took a little time, a little trouble, but it was well worth while in the long run, because life had not yet begun."

In spite of its founder's strong stance against abortion, today Planned Parenthood ("PP") is the #1 advocate for abortion throughout the world.

Abortion in the World

The first government to legalize abortion was in 1920 under the Communist Bolshevik government of the Soviet Union.

The Guttmacher Institute was founded by Planned Parenthood in 1968, and continues to have a close relationship with them.

The 2017 Guttmacher Institute study for WHO found that on a world-wide basis 55.6 Million abortions are performed every year, 45% of which were deemed unsafe (25 million unsafe abortions per year).  The incidence rate (abortions per 1000 women aged 15-44 years old) varied from 36 in developed countries, to 27 in developed countries.

WHO estimates 758 Million women are using contraceptive methods (non-abortion such as rythmn, condom, IUD, injection, implant, etc.) as of 2015, representing on average 64% of married or in-union women (as high as 84% for China, 75% for N. America, to as low as 17% for Eastern Africa).

Is Abortion OK at a Certain Stage of Pregnancy?

In all things, we should be logical and consistent.

When conception occurs, the DNA of the man mingles with the DNA of the woman so as to produce a unique individual; different, separate, distinct from both parents.  Once fertilized, the egg is no longer part of the mother; it is its own unique form of life.

We cut our hair and trim our toenails.  We surgically remove cancers from our bodies.  Hair has the same DNA as the body from which it was cut; same for toenails, and for most cancer tumors.  However, a fertilized egg is clearly different, as its DNA is different from the mother's DNA.  A fertilized egg cannot be dismissed as a "clump of cells".

Is a Fertilized Egg a Parasite in the Mother's Body?

Some misguided people think that a fertilized egg is like a parasite in the mother's body.  A parasite is defined as:
an organism living in, with, or on another organism in parasitism (an intimate association between organisms of two or more kinds especially : one in which a parasite obtains benefits from a host which it usually injures).
Parasitism is one species attacking a different species.  A fertilized egg is a different person, but is not a different species.  Therefore a fertilized egg inside its mother's body fails to meet the definition of parasitism.   Symbiosis is defined as the living together in a more or less intimate association or close union of two dissimilar organisms.  Symbiosis can be:
  • Mutualism (where the organisms are mutually beneficial to one another)
  • Commensalism (where only one organism benefits but the other is not injured or physically harmed)
  • Parasitism (where one organism benefits to the injury of the other)
Clearly, an unborn baby can be Mutualism or Commensalism, but not Parasitism.  Steve James provides 10 reasons that contrast a pre-born baby from a parasite:
  1. A parasite is an organism of one species that lives in or on an organism of another species and receives nourishment from the host.
  2. Parasites are invasive organism that come from an outside or external source. A fetus comes from an inside or internal source (ie fertilized egg)
  3. Parasites are generally harmful to the hosts, fetuses may make a pregnant woman experience adverse health effects, but not nearly to the same level that a parasite generally does.
  4. A parasite makes direct contact with the host's living tissues. A fetus lives in the placenta, fed by the umbilical cord, both of which are fetal tissue (ie the cells come from the baby).
  5. When a parasite invades a host, the host tissue will usually respond by encapsulating the parasite in order to cut it off from other surrounding tissue. In the case of a fetus, the mother’s tissue will create a lining tissue that connects, rather than cuts off contact with other tissues (placenta lining).
  6. Parasites usually elicit a surge of antibodies as an immunological response. With the fetus, however, a mother’s trophoblast (the shell of cells surrounding the embryo) will naturally block these antibodies so as not to reject the fetus. This reaction is only found in the embryo-mother relationship.
  7. A parasite will generally weaken the cellular reproductive capacity of the host.For a fetus, the effect is the opposite.
  8. Parasites generally stay with the host for life, a fetus leaves upon birth.
  9. Parasitical relationships are mostly harmful and unnecessary to the host, generally damaging the host in a variety of ways. A newborn (fetus post-birth) is very healthy for the mother, bringing benefits of an emotional, cognitive and chemical nature.
  10. The most obvious one, a fetus is a human being in development. It will never become anything other than human. Even a first trimester fetus will have fully developed arms, legs, ears, facial features, sex organs and a functioning heart, as well as sufficient neurological development to feel pain. A parasite is not a human and never will be.

SLED:   Size, Level of development, Environment, Dependency

Abortionists and Pro-Choice supporters try to unjustly discriminate against, and rationalize away the inalienable rights & value of a pre-born baby by false logic.

SLED is an acronym for the 4 strongest arguments in favor of life and human rights for pre-born babies.

Size      There is a continuum of growth from the moment of fertilization to human adulthood (approx. age of 19 years of age).  Some people  are only 4 ft. tall, while others are 7 ft. tall.  There is no logic for choosing an arbitrary point at which we become human.

Level of Development      Similar to size, our capabilities (strength, intelligence, knowledge, awareness, emotional maturity, wisdom, etc.) grow on a continuum from fertilization through all our life.  There is no logic for choosing an arbitrary point at which we become human.

Environment      The fertilized egg or pre-born baby is inside a special environment of the mother's womb for its first 9 months, separated from the "real world" by the 7" of the birth canal.  During this 9 months, the baby continuously breathes in & out its amniotic fluid.  An astronaut, sky diver, scuba diver, swimmer, cave explorer, hard rock miner, and others are in special environments too; but are not eligible to be killed nor lose their humanity while in those special environments.

Dependency     A fertilized egg and pre-born baby are dependent upon its mother to protect and provide for them during the 9 month pregnancy.  By having sex, the mother has responsibility for the pregnancy she caused, aided, or acquiesced towards.  A guardian cannot turn a blind eye to a life threatening situation of its ward; a duty of care is owed. Senior citizens, accident victims, the sick, infants, and toddlers are all dependent upon 1 or more caregivers; and cannot be arbitrary killed nor have their human rights taken away.  Civilized society must protect the weak.

For more info, see SLED

Final Arguments

Finally, pregnancy is a temporary inconvenience for the mother at worst, as she can put her baby up for adoption after the birth of the baby.  Do we allow parents to kill or abandon their children because its difficult, the child will have a difficult life, or parents change their mind about being a parent?  For similar reasons, a pre-born baby must be allowed to continue.

The man contributed half of the genetic material that formed the baby, so it isn't just the woman's decision about what happens to a pre-born baby.  If rape or incest caused the pregnancy, by all means punish the perpetrator, but the pre-born baby that may result is innocent of all crimes, and should not be punished for the crimes of its parent.

A few facts on a Pre-Born baby:

  • At Day 1 after egg fertilization, a pre-born baby's brain begins to develop.
  • At Day 14, any monozygotic twins have already formed, so we have 1 or more unique individuals hereinafter.
  • After 16 days the neural tube (precursor of spinal cord and brain) has formed.
  • At 22 days, a pre-born baby's heart begins to beat.
  • By Week 5, the first spinal nerve synapses begin to form.
  • At Week 8, the heart is completely formed.
  • By 12 weeks, the baby can display muscle reflexes, and respond to environmental stimuli.
  • A healthy baby begins sucking their thumb at 12 weeks after fertilization.
  • Pre-born babies of 21 weeks gestation have survived birth and are now healthy toddlers.
  • Somewhere around Week 20 to 24, pain is felt and responded to by pre-born baby.
  • Late trimester babies can respond to familiar sounds (eg. mother's heartbeat) and smells (ie. its own amniotic fluid). 
  • Anthony Kenny argues that a pre-born baby individualism can be derived from everyday beliefs and language and one can legitimately say "if my mother had had an abortion six months into her pregnancy, she would have killed me" then one can reasonably infer that at six months the "me" in question would have been an existing person with a valid claim to life. Since division of the zygote into twins through the process of monozygotic twinning can occur until the fourteenth day of pregnancy, Kenny argues that individual identity is obtained at this point and thus abortion is not permissible after two weeks.
  • Some argue that human life is only unique and obtains personhood based upon consciousness, capacity to feel pain, ability to communicate, reasoning, self-motivation, self-awareness, brain waves or higher brain functions, rationality, and autonomy.  All or most of these proposed criteria fail to contrast a pre-born baby from a 1 yr old baby, senior citizen, or similar (ie. if those reasons are alleged to be adequate to prevent the killing of a newly born infant,  2 yr old toddler, senior citizen, accident victim in a reversible coma, etc.; then those same reasons should be adequate to prevent the killing of a pre-born baby).
  • Pregnancies that threaten the mother's life, or involved incest, or rape represent less than 2% of all abortions.

Alexander Tsiaras helped develop the technology of micro-photography via endoscope, and micro-MRI visualization.  He has applied these techniques to the entire 9 months of a baby's development inside the mother's body, producing the following 10 minute video of that 9 month process.  Watch & learn about God.


What Does God Say About All This?

Before the first abortion occurred, God knew that wicked humans would dream up a wicked solution to solve or hide his sexual sin.

God is all about life and truth.

Satan is all about death and sin. Guess where abortion originated from, and who constantly supports abortion?

God's objection to abortion is demonstrated by the Bible.  The key verses are as follows:

 [James 4:17 KJV] 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
In other word, we sin if we know and turn a blind eye towards the sin, rather than rebuke it and fight against it.

[Psa 138:8 KJV] 8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
God made us at conception, then turned over His handiwork to our moher's womb.

[Psa 139:13-16 NIV] 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
God created each of us, and our entire lives were written about in God's Book of Life before we were born.

[Jhn 10:10 KJV] 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
God creates life and truth.  The thief (ie. Satan) comes to steal, lie, & kill.

[Jer 1:5 KJV] 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
God knew all about us, each and every one of us, before He created us with His spark of life at conception.

[Gal 1:15 KJV] 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
God created each of us for a purpose in this world.  When the baby is killed, the world loses the planned benefits from that baby, and God's good works are stymied.

[Exo 20:13 KJV] 13 Thou shalt not kill.
This includes babies and the un-born.
[Exo 21:22 KJV] 22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine].
If a man injures a pregnant woman, and the un-born baby dies but the woman lives, then the husband of the pregnant woman may punish the negligent man as he sees fit, and the Court may fine the accused man also.

[Exo 21:23 KJV] 23 And if [any] mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
If the pregnant woman dies or is seriously injured from the incident [Exodus 21:22, see above], then the accused man is punished on an equal basis.

[Luk 1:15 KJV] 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
God and the Holy Ghost is involved in conception from conception.

[Gen 25:21-23 KJV] 21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and [the one] people shall be stronger than [the other] people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
God knows what is going on inside every womb.
[Mat 1:18 KJV] 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
God can conceive a child inside a woman's womb without a man's involvement.

Conclusion


We therefore conclude that abortion is wrong, and needs to stop.

Know Your Sins, Transgressions, & Iniquities

Through the grace of YouTube, I now know the difference between sin, transgression, & iniquity.  Do you?

Sin is when we try to do the right thing, in alignment with God's Word, but fail to meet the mark.  The Hebrew and Greek terms are related to spear throwing and archery, where the target is hit, but not the bulleye (ie. we missed the centre of the target).  The intent was good, but we unintentionally slipped and fell during the implementation.  Sin is accidental.  Sin in never a premeditated desire to do evil.

Transgression (also known as "trespass", usually regarded as a synonym) is when there is an evil intent.  We know it's against God's Law, but we decide to do evil anyways.  Transgression can also occur in the heart and mind alone, as the opportunity to carry out our intended evil has not yet arisen.

Iniquity has a few subtle definitions. Iniquity is pre-meditation evil, done of purpose, on an ongoing, chronic, habitual basis.  Iniquity can also mean the bending or colouring of a Law so as to take a perverse interpretation, contrary to the obvious, true meaning.  The Devil delights in this technique, and encourages everybody to follow his evil example.  The third meaning is to receive or hold the resulting guilt or punishment for your sins and transgressions (ie. to wallow in your iniquity).  The fourth meaning is someone who acts as if they are a law unto themselves, who do not recognize nor obey God's Laws, who are lawless, or have relative, self-serving morality of their own creation (ie. everything is relative, there are no absolutes, right and wrong depend upon the circumstances).  This worker of iniquity creates their own god in their mind, and give their god a perverted, immoral code that accepts all the evil they wish to commit as good (even though it is evil as defined by God).

Now you know.

Remember, whether its sin, transgression, trespass, or iniquity, true Christian do not habitually live in these evil failings.

If someone is doing evil "X" (eg. lie, steal, cheat, adultery, etc.), then does "X" again, and again, and again, they are living in X as a matter of habit.  X is a chronic, bad habit.  They do not regret X.  They do not repent their failings at doing X.  They do not seek forgiveness for doing X.  This X is iniquity.  This person does not know Christ, is not Born Again, and is subject to gnashing of teeth or weeping as Christ turns them away from them at Judgement Day, as they slowly sink into the Lake of Fire.

However, if someone does "X", realizes their evil, repents, seeks forgiveness, and takes concrete steps to learn from their mistake, and earnestly tries to avoid X thereafter, this is forgivable by God.  They may stumble and fall into the evil "Y" soon after, but they will take the same approach to Y, and eventually set "Y" forever into their past.  In this way, each day they move closer to Christ, and become more and more Christ-like.  This is a true Christian, and Jesus Christ will give them a pure white Heavenly garments and a crown of gold, and allow them to enjoy everlasting life, and avoid the Lake of Fire and the perpetual suffering of sinners.

In Matthew 18:21-22, Jesus says we should forgive our sinning brothers and sisters 70 time 7 fold, (ie. 7*70= 490 times) for their truly repented sin.  If that is what we should do for our fellow humans, we can likely expect that same or greater amount of forgiveness of our sins by Jesus Christ.  Jesus is a far better forgiver than you are a sinner.  Note that this forgiveness for accidental, unplanned sin.  This is not the forgiveness of ongoing, chronic iniquity.  Iniquity is deadly.  There is only limited time and chances for the forgiveness of iniquity.

Whenever we do unrepentant sin or iniquity, we put a drop of poison into our internal well of living water.  The first drop won't kill you.  However, as you do more & more iniquity, you keep adding additional drops of poison to the well.  Soon, the well of living water will turn your stomach when you drink it.  1 Corith. 11:27-30 tells us that eventually, you will be weakened more and more, to the point of being incapacitated, or death by sin.

As your iniquity adds more and more poison to your internal well of living water, the Holy Spirit inside you is also affected.  Your body & soul becomes more and more inhospitable for the indwelling Holy Spirit.  The amount and activity of the Holy Spirit inside you shrinks more and more with each drop of evil poison added to the well.  Eventually, the Holy Spirit can no longer stand living inside you, so it packs its bags, and leaves you permanently, never to come back.  At that point, you no longer have a conscience, and God has permanently abandoned you to your reprobate mind, and a guaranteed spot in Hell, to burn and be tormented forever & ever.  See Romans 1:18-32

The Greatest Sin: War or Abortion?

I hate war.  I'm not sure I can be convinced there is something called "Justified War".

In my youth, I heard others say, "It is every woman's right to choose."  Being in favor of freedom and rights, and too young and too shallow to think clearly and deeply about abortion, this seemed reasonable to me.  Today, I think differently.

The Bible tells us "Thou shalt not kill".  Seems plain and simple enough to understand.

Let's examine these complex, emotional, and gut wrenching issues.

War

 We have had war with us for a very long time.It seem surprising that the recent death toll is below the historical norm.  Perhaps that means we are overdue for the Big One.

Battles, and the resulting military and civilian death rates, from Year 1400 to 2000.  Just wait till Nuclear War and Battle of Armageddon get added to this graph!
From the 1776 US Revolutionary War till the 2014, it is estimated that 1,319,943 Americans died from war.

Since WWII, it is estimated that US government has killed 20 Million People in 37 “Victim Nations”.  We have no idea how many millions have been killed by all US wars, but I'm sure it's way more that 20 million.

I feel the US government is a blood thirty war monger that kills way too many people, and destroys nation after nation. To me, the US warmongering seems equivalent to the Imperial Roman army, Genghis Khan, and Alexander The Great.

In addition, the CIA and many other secret organizations inside and outside of the US government have done their unholy share of killing, assassinations, coups, explosions, and other mayhem.

Were any of these US wars and covert ops truly justified? 


Humanism

Humanism is a broad worldview which describes a number of shades of opinion, but the core set of beliefs and values can be summarized as follows.
A humanist…
  • trusts to the scientific method when it comes to understanding how the universe works and rejects the idea of the supernatural (and is therefore an atheist or agnostic)
  • makes their ethical decisions based on reason, empathy, and a concern for human beings and other sentient animals
  • believes that, in the absence of an afterlife and any discernible purpose to the universe, human beings can act to give their own lives meaning by seeking happiness in this life and helping others to do the same.
I have heard of Humanism before, but never gave it much thought, and was unsure of the definition.  I now know that Humanists must be an Athiest ( lacks belief in a God or gods) or Agnostic (unable to be 100% certain if there is a God or gods).

Since I am a True Christian (recently upgraded from a Nominal Christian), I can no longer be a Humanist.  Has the Devil been involved in twisting and complicating our world through a misguided humanist agenda?  Some believe that Satan founded, and is the current leader of the Secular Humanist movement.

One Humanistic viewpoint on abortion is available here (MS Word document).  All it says is we need to think about a broad range of issues before we decide; all issues except God and God's Moral Laws.

One issue the Humanists rightly raise is exactly when does life begin in a fetus?  Humanists must rely upon logic and science to determine these types of issues, and avoid any religious teachings.

Starting Point of Human Life

Neither sperm nor egg can reproduce a human by themselves.  Therefore neither of these cells are human; they are just cells, no better, no worse than somebody's fingernail, hair, or skin cells.  Therefore none of these can rightfully receive the protection and rights which are reserved for a human.

In 1 John 1:5, the Bible tells us that God is light:
"This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
In 2011, scientists discovered that at the instant that a frog egg is fertilized, there is a burst of light emitted.  In 2014, scientists duplicated the frog egg experiment with human eggs and sperm, and saw a similar flash of light.  The greater the flash, the stronger and more alive is the egg.  If there's no flash, then the egg failed to be fertilized, and is therefore dead and sterile. 





I suggest that the flash of light at fertilization is when life begins.

Sperm have the unique DNA genetic codes of the man.  The woman's egg contains her unique DNA.  Immediately after the flash, there is an exchange of DNA between the egg and sperm.  The DNA of the egg and sperm combine to produce a new, unique set of DNA; different from every other human on the planet.

After the DNA exchange, the fertilized egg will begin cell division within a few hours.  It will grow into a new, unique human with unique DNA, different from both mother and father.

Here is a 9.5 minute TED talk video "Conception to Birth - Visualized" by Dr. Alexander Tsiaras in Dec. 2010.


Picking any other point in time (from after the flash, up to full term birth) for when life begins has significant moral dilemmas attached (eg. akin to euthanasia, murder of sleeping or unconscious people, murder of elderly or sick or disabled persons, etc.).  The flash is life.

If life doesn't begin at conception, then I challenge you to pick the mm:ss timestamp in the video above as when it's OK to abort, and when it is no longer OK to abort because it is thereafter a human with the same rights to life that you currently enjoy (post your time mm:ss recommendation below in the Comments section, and explain exactly why and how you chose that particular moment).

Now that we know when life begins, let's talk about abortion.


Abortion






In 2012, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th Dist., New Jersey) said that since 1973, when the US Supreme Court handed down its decision in Roe v. Wade, there's been "well over" 54 million abortions. This was based on data from The Guttmacher Institute.

In the video above, it is estimated that 3,000 abortions are performed each day in the USA, so that's  1.095 million US abortions every year.  Therefore, since 2012, that's an additional 6.7 million, for a grand total of  60.7 million abortions.

Therefore there are 46 times more abortion casualties in the last 23 years than 238 years of war.

If you add the US troops killed (1.3 million) plus their victims (20 million enemy troops and civilians since WWII), US abortions are likely still significantly greater than war deaths; even for the greatest war mongering nation in the last 1,500 year.

For peace loving countries, abortion is likely their biggest killing field.

If we do the comparison based on dead per year, abortion is 2.64 million per year on average over a 23 year period, while war is 5,545 dead per year over a 238 years average, so abortions are 476 times deadlier than war (based on number killed per year).

Apparently, I have been focused on small potatoes.  Abortions, I now see, is 476 times more important focal point for our attention.

If abortion in the US is worse than the rabid dog, blood curdling war mongering of the USA, then all other countries that have abortion but are more peaceful, abortion is even a greater target for changing for the better.

Canada gets along with most everybody.  We generally don't start wars.  How's Canada's abortion statistics?

 

Canada's Abortion Stats

 Based on statistics from University of Ottawa, 40% of all pregnancies in Canada are unplanned.  Of these, about half are carried to term; the other half are terminated.  There are 330,000 live births and 100,000 abortions each year in Canada. In 2003, 103,768 abortions were recorded in Canada, about 15.2 per thousand women. The number appears to be declining by about 1% per year.  A wide range of Canadian women undergo abortions.  About 50% are under 25; 64% are single, and 45% have children.

Since the US is approximately 10 times bigger than Canada, Canada and US have similar number of abortions per female per year.  When you look at the childbearing years incidence rate, US is 32.9% higher abortion rate than Canada (20.2/15.2*100%= 32.9%).

In Canada, there is no longer any law against abortion, nor when an abortion can be performed.  This can lead to some grisly situations were a healthy baby that could easily survive if allowed to be birthed, is instead aborted by highly questionable methods.

  

Abortions Around the World

 Abortion rates vary from a high of 53.7 per thousand women aged 15-44 in Russia, through 38 per thousand in China,  35 (Viet Nam and Kazakhstan);  33 (Estonia);  32 (Belarus);  27 (Ukraine);  20.2 (USA);  19.7 (Australia and New Zealand);  16.9 (France);  15.2 (Canada);  10.6 (Italy);  10.4 (Netherlands);  to 0.2 (Portugal). Reassuringly, no abortions were reported from the Vatican City. 

 

God's Viewpoint on Abortion

In the Bible Jeremiah 1:4-5, Jeremiah says:
"Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 'Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.' "

Here, we learn that God knew Jeremiah, even before his conception.  God sanctified Jeremiah (ie. made him holy) prior to his birth.

Perhaps God knows all the rest of God's children in a similar way to Jeremiah.

After the Flood, when there were only 8 people left on the Earth, in Genesis 1:28, it is written:
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 
This is a very specific commandment by God to be fruitful and multiply.  When God is specific, you had better do it, or could face immediate punishment.

Failing to be fruitful (whether by failing to marry, homosexual relationships, abstinence, or direct birth control methods) frustrates God's commandment of "be fruitful and multiply". 

Let's take another Biblical example.

When a husband dies, his widow is stranded if she has no children to help her. In ancient times, to ensure maximum fertility rates, a Levirate marriage (Hebrew: yibbum) is mandated by Deuteronomy 25:5-6, which obliges the oldest surviving brother of a man who dies childless to marry the widow of his childless deceased brother, with the firstborn child being treated as that of the deceased brother.

Levirate marriages shows you how serious God is about "be fruitful and multiply"

In Genesis 38:8-10, the Bible tells us about Onan, whose greed caused him not to follow God's Levirate marriage law.  Onan wanted his brother's widow would die childless, so Onan would then inherit his dead brother's property.  How did that work out for Onan?
And Judah [Onan's Father] said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.  And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.  And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him [Onan] also.
 Onan frustrated God's commandment of Levirate marriage, so God ended Onan's life as punishment, and likely as a message and example to all others.

God doesn't change.  God's rules don't change.  If this is how God felt in Onan's biblical time, He likely still feels the same now.

In another Biblical example,  Genesis 4:8-10 tells us how God hears Able's blood calling to God from the Earth:
 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”  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.
Blood from just one murdered person cries out to God for justice.  What then, of the blood from 60.7 million babies?

During End Times, the Bible tells us in Revelation 6:9-11 that Christians will be persecuted by the Anti-Christ, and eventually Satan tries to kill all who refuse his Mark of the Beast.  These persecuted souls also cry out to God:
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:   And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?  And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."
 I therefore conclude that God hears the voice of all aborted fetuses and babies who cry for justice.

Since God is just, there will eventually be justice for these aborted babies.  Just because there is a fleeting moment between the crime and the punishment does not mean the sinner has escaped without punishment.

I therefore conclude:

Thou shalt not kill (babies and fetuses included).
