Bible study called Manasseh

Its definitely SHAREWARE!

What you will find, is not easy to take in. If you have had an abortion, I hope your study
will show you God's loving, forgiving, RESTORING, nature. This judgment is toward
NATIONS, not repentant or mislead individuals. Be sure you complete the study for
yourself. Before you start, pray that the Father will show you the Truth, and in so doing,
reveal Himself to you. Ask Him for His love, joy and peace.

The Manasseh Judgment Bible Study

The Study

Three times in the Bible, the words “will not forgive” are used. Jesus told us that if we do not
forgive others, then God will not forgive us, in two New Testament books. The only other time is in
the Old Testament - found by my desire to know how God feels about abortion. For twelve years
before, I listened to the radio and kept informed of the fight against abortion, but do not remember
hearing His side of the argument. This study is the result of that search.

Before you start, pray that God will reveal the truth, and in so doing, reveal Himself.

“However, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger
burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him. And
the LORD said, “I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast
off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple (house) of which I said, ‘My name shall
be there’.” “Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them
from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the
innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD
WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine) 2 Kings 23: 26 & 27 and 24: 3 & 4.

Why is God angry, and what were the provocations?

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

This word study uses “passing through the fire,” “shedding innocent blood,” and “God’s wrath”
found in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the King James Version, I ask two questions. First, as
the Father is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, why don’t we expect judgment as a nation?
Secondly, what judgment or consequence is coming because of the sin of legal abortion?

Psalm 9:7-12 . . .
“But the Lord abides (sits as king) forever; He has established His throne for judgment,
And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.
The Lord also will be (Let the Lord also be) a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble, And those who know Thy name (let those who know Thy name)
put their trust in Thee; For Thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek Thee.
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His deeds.
For He who requires blood (avenges bloodshed) remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the
afflicted.”

The Messiah as known when Jesus was on earth.

The Lord Jesus’s time of servant hood was over 2000 years ago. He is now at the right hand of the
Father waiting for His time to rule the whole world. Please note how John the Baptist describes the
coming Messiah in Matthew 3:12 “And His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly
clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.” Sounds to me like He is very angry and doing something about it. No
wonder John had to ask Jesus later if He was the promised Messiah. Jesus was not doing then, what
John knew the Messiah is going to do.

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

Abortion debate is emotionally charged. Why? Because the life of the mother is important, and the
life of the baby is important. Arguments are based on whatever principle the holder esteems. After
years and years of following the debates, I realized I didn't know how God viewed abortion. So I did
a simple word study. Fortunately, in 1890 Dr. James Strong did a complete word search of the entire
Bible. A list was made of every time each word was used. It took him 35 years with the help of more
than 100 friends. The published word search is called a concordance. I came across a new
computerized version (on sale) called The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Of The Bible.

Don’t be put off by the results of the word study coming from the Old Testament. Jesus talked in
parables and as I read through the New Testament I saw the same principles applied resulting in
future consequences. Because abortion is now legal and profitable, it is a national issue and God the
Father deals with nations differently than the individual. Its a sociological thing. At the time of Noah,
God said the death of man by man's hand would be avenged by the hand of man. God will use men
to avenge the deaths of the unborn.

The results of this word study blew me away. You may want to do it yourself before you read this. It
is time consuming but once I started I couldn't stop. I wrote out all the verses, and most of the
relevant preceding verses so you could get a good grasp of context. If you don't have a Bible there are
websites (keyword "online bible") that have all versions online. (You have no excuse not to read the
greatest book ever communicated. Start with John's books, then Matthew, Mark & Luke.)

God warned the Israelites not to practice child sacrifice before they entered the promised land

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

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

God gave His people the law so they would have health and peace. The Law (including the 10
commandments) was given to Israel before they entered the promised land so all the neighboring
countries could learn about God by how the Jews lived. I love the Old Testament law. Reading it
now, as a parent, I see the love of God the Father, especially in Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
Educators and psychiatrists know children need fun, intrigue and play along with routine, structure
and security. This routine, structure and security is provided by rules, or laws. Rules first prevent us
from hurting ourselves and then from hurting others, thus providing the means for peace and
happiness. The law of God is a law of love. It is good for the individual, the family and society.
Obeying the ten commandments teaches us true love, joy and peace by teaching us how to love our
neighbors as much as we love ourselves, and we all know how selfish we can be.

God's people were to go into a land already occupied. They were not given this land because they
were better than the natives but because the natives were doing what God hates, and when you do
this there are consequences. Deuteronomy 9: 5 "It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness
of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these
nations that the Lord your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath (word)
which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob." Deuteronomy 12:29-32..."when
the Lord your God cuts off before you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you
dispossess them and dwell in their land, beware that you are not ensnared to follow them (after
them), after they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How
do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’ You shall not behave thus toward the
Lord your God, for every abominable act which the Lord hates they have done for their gods; for
they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. Whatever I command you, you shall
be careful to do, you shall not add to nor take away from it."

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

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

The Law of God states "...do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty," in
Exodus 23:7 and in Leviticus 20:1-5 God says, ‘Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “You shall
also say to the sons of Israel, ‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel,
who gives and of his offspring (seed) to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land
shall stone him with stones. ‘I will also set my face against that man and will cut him off from among
his people, because he has given some of his offspring (seed) to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary
and to profane My holy name. ‘If the people of the land, however, should ever disregard (hiding they
hide their eyes from) that man when he gives any of his offspring (seed) to Molech, so as not to put
him to death, then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut off
from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot
after Molech.

Leviticus 18:21... "Neither shall you give any of your offspring, to offer(cause to passover) them to
Molech,..."

God's people were not to do what the natives were doing after they moved in because God hates
what they were doing. God was judging the natives because of the detestable things they were doing,
sacrificing their children for one. I did not study the witchcraft or other things. Today abortion is
available in all states united. And God hates child sacrifice. Amazing how we developed the
technology to see inside the womb and now know it's not "just a blob of tissue" at the same time we
"scientifically" accept abortion.

Sacrifice defined

Now, what is a sacrifice? Giving up one thing for another. God's people would eventually disobey
(like all kids) and do exactly what God said not to do.

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

Psalm 9:7-12
"...For He who requires blood (avenges bloodshed) remembers them; He does not forget the
cry of the afflicted.”

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

The people obey the King of Judah in disobediance.

There was a King of Judah called Manasseh whose story is told in 2 Kings 21.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem;
and his mother’s name was Hephzibah. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the
abominations of the nations whom the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he erected altars for Baal
and made an Asherah (a wooden symbol of a female deity), as Ahab king of Israel had done, and
worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of
which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My name. ”For he built altars for all the host of
heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. And he made his son pass through the fire,
practiced witchcraft and used divination, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in
the sight of the Lord provoking Him to anger.

Then he set the carved image of Asherah that he had made, in the house of which the Lord said to
David and to his son Solomon, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the
tribes of Israel, I will put MY name forever. “And I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore
from the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have
commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.” But they
did not listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do evil, more than the nations whom the Lord
destroyed before the sons of Israel.

Now the Lord spoke through His servants the prophets, saying,
“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, having done wickedly more
than all the Ammorites did who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols;
therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity on
Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.
‘And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I
will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
‘And I will abandon the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies,
and they shall become as plunder and spoil to all their enemies;
because they have done evil in My sight, and have been provoking Me to anger, since the day their
fathers came from Egypt, even to this day.’”

"Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he had filled Jerusalem from one
end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the
Lord.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did and his sin which he committed(sinned), are
they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And Manasseh slept with his father and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of
Uzza, and Amon his son became king in his place."

Also in II Chronicles 33:1-19 (read all of it)

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

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

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

The Lord raises an army of gentiles to invade

Therefore the Lord brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and
they captured Manasseh with hooks (things put through the nose), bound him with bronze chains, and
took him And when he was in distress, he entreated the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly
before the God of his fathers.

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

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

He also removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord as well as all the
altars which he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he
threw them outside the city.
And he set up the altar of the Lord and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it;
and he ordered Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh even his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who
spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are among the records of the kings
of Israel.
His prayer also and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, his unfaithfulness, and the sites on
which he built high places and erected the Asherim and the carved images, before he humbled
himself, behold, they are written in the records of the Hozai (seers).

Manasseh’s abominable practice of sacrificing his son and filling the land with the blood of the
innocent kindled the wrath of God or provoked the LORD God to anger. This King would be judged,
but the “Manasseh judgment” refers to the vengeance against the innocent that would be fulfilled, His
anger will not be quenched. The king Manasseh was overtaken and sent in chains to another country.
Only when he acknowledged the LORD is the one true God did God reinstate him. He then tore
down all the places the children were sacrificed. He realized what he did was wrong and stopped the
practice, but God would still avenge the death of the innocents as you will see.

Keep in mind...God said, "Do not shed innocent blood." Manasseh said it was good. Manasseh was
the leader of the people and as leader, he is more responsible than the general population who follows
him. Beware supreme court, the LORD holds you in contempt! Pastors, priests, ministers, judges,
rulers, leaders, governors, senators, representatives listen! Hear the word of God in Jeremiah 23:1 &
2..."Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!...behold, I am
about to attend to you for the evil or your deeds," declares the Lord." God holds those in power
responsible.

The story continues

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

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

True repentance

When Josiah heard the LORD he gathered all the men of Judah and all the people of his country,
"both small and great", and they went to the house of the LORD and read the words of the book of
the covenant (the law) and they all chose to enter into a relationship of obedience with the LORD
God to receive His blessings instead of His righteous judgement. Josiah then cleaned up his country
and did away with all the false priests and destroyed all the places they worshiped the false gods and
removed the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem "that he might
confirm (perform) the words of the law which were written in the book." 2 Kings 23:24. What will
our nation do when they hear the words of the book of the law?

No other king of Judah would obey the LORD as wholeheartedly and completely as Josiah.
"However, the Lord did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger
burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked
Him." 2 Kings 23:26. The LORD God still heard the cries of the innocent and prophesied
judgements would be carried out. Josiah's son chose to do evil, did not repent and then the
judgements came.

God speaks before anything happens

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

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

Micah 3-And I said, "Hear now, heads of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel.
Is it not for you to know justice? "You who hate good and love evil,
Who tear off their skin from them And their flesh from their bones,
And who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones,
And chop them up as for the pot And as meat in a kettle."
Then they will cry out to the Lord, But He will not answer them.
Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time, Because they have practiced evil deeds.

Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets Who lead my people astray:
When the have something to bite with their teeth, They cry, "Peace,"
But against him who puts nothing in their mouths, They declare holy war.
Therefore it will be night for you-without vision, And darkness for you-without divination.
The sun will go down on the prophets, And the day will become dark over them.
The seers will be ashamed And the diviners will be embarrassed.
Indeed, they will all cover their mouths (mustaches) Because there is no answer from God On the
other hand I am filled with power- With the Spirit of the Lord- And with justice and courage To make
known to Jacob his rebellious act, Even to Israel his sin.
Now hear this, heads of the house of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel, Who abhor justice And
twist everything that is straight, Who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with violent injustice.
Her leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe, Her priests instruct for a price, And her prophets divine
for money.

Yet they lean on the Lord saying, “Is not the Lord in our midst? Calamity will not come upon us.”
Therefore, on account of you, Zion will be plowed as a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins,
And the mountain of the temple (house) will become high places of a forest.”

The prophet Jeremiah was sent to speak the word of God just before and during the punishment.
Listen to what the LORD said the punishment would be.
Jeremiah 15:1-4
Then the Lord said to me, “Even though Moses and Samuel were to stand before Me, My heart
(soul) would not be with (toward) this people, send them away from My presence and let them go!
“And it shall be that when they say to you, ‘Where would we go?’ then you are to tell them, ‘Thus
says the Lord: "Those destined for death, to death; And those destined for the sword, to the
sword; And those destined for famine, to famine; And those destined for captivity; to
captivity.”’

The Consequences of Child Sacrifice

“And I shall appoint over them four kinds of doom” declares the LORD; “the sword to slay, the dogs
to drag off, and the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
“And I shall make them an object of horror among all the kingdoms of the earth because of
Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.”

And Jeremiah 19:3-9
"...and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says the
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Behold I am about to bring a calamity upon this place, at which the
ears of everyone that hears of it will tingle.
“Because they have forsaken Me and have made this an alien place and have burned sacrifices
(incense) in it to other gods that neither they nor their forefathers not the kings of Judah had
ever known, and because they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
And have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal,
a thing which I never commanded or spoke of, nor did it ever enter My mind (heart);
Therefore, behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this place will no longer be called
Topheth or the valley of Benhinnom, but rather the valley of Slaughter.
“And I shall make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I shall cause them to fall
by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their life; and I shall give over
their carcasses as food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth.
“I shall also make this city a desolation and an object of hissing; everyone who passes by it will be
astonished and hiss because of all its disasters (blows).
“And I shall make them eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they will eat
one another’s flesh in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies and those who seek their
life will distress them.”

The book of Ezekiel was written during the promised judgment. Ezekiel 7:1 - 10
"Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 'And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD
(YHWH) to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land. Now the
end is upon you, and I shall send My anger against you; I shall judge you according to your ways,
and I shall bring all your abominations upon you. For My eye will have no pity on you, nor shall I
spare you, but I shall bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you;
then you will know that I am the Lord!
“Thus says the Lord GOD (YHWY), ‘A disaster, unique disaster, behold it is coming! An end is
coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you; behold, it has come! Your doom has come
to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come, the day is near-tumult rather than joyful
shouting on the mountains. Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you, and spend My anger
against you, judge you according to your ways, and bring on you all your abominations. And My eye
will show no pity, nor will I spare. I will repay (give) you according to your ways, and bring on you
all your abominations. And My eye will show no pity, nor will I spare. I will repay you according to
your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, do the
smiting. Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded,
arrogance has blossomed.” The LORD gives judgment according to the sin. Abortion is a true
abomination.

Search for the Truth about abortion

Read the testimony of the abortionists given in the court of New York and tremble with fear. The
fear of the LORD is not only respect, but also true fear. Anyone having the privilege of being raised
by an honorable father knows what it is like to face the music for just punishment. Abortion should
not be allowed in your town. Drive it out. Outlaw it in your town, your county, your state and your
nation. It is not an option for God is angry and we have to stop it. It doesn't matter why it is done. Be
afraid. Our swords and chariots will not protect us from the hand of the Almighty. Listen America!
God’s law says we are not to kill our children - born or unborn because if we do there will be
consequences. Do not listen to the false teachers who have duped our leaders into allowing this

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

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

In Psalms 22: 9 & 10 David prophecies Jesus’ death but speaks of His Immaculate Conception...
“Yet thou art He who didst bring me forth from the womb; Thou didst make me trust when upon my
mother’s breasts. Upon Thee I was cast from birth (a womb); Thou hast been my God from my
mother’s womb.”

In Jeremiah 1:5 God talks to Jeremiah...
“Before I formed you in the womb (KJV belly) I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated
you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

What profit is there in abortion?

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

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

God hates the shedding of innocent blood.
       I believe because it brings to mind the punishment He must impart, and most of which is born
by His own Son.

Solomon said in Proverbs 6:16-19 that
"There are six things which the Lord hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him (of His soul):
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,
A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads (sends out) strife among brothers.

The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
"...if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly practice justice between a man and his
neighbor, if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan (fatherless), or the widow, and do not shed
innocent blood in this place, nor walk after the other gods to your own ruin, then I will let you dwell
in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever. Behold, you are trusting in
deceptive words to no avail." Jeremiah 7:5-8
And again from Jeremiah 22:3, "Thus says the Lord, "Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the
one who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor. Also do not mistreat or do violence to the
stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place."

Only God avenges.

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

Again in Ezekiel 16:20-23 the Lord God said to those being punished
“Moreover, you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to Me, and you sacrificed them
to idols (them) to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter? You slaughtered My
children, and offered them up to idols (them) by causing them to pass through the fire. And
besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of your youth, when you
were naked and bare and squirming in your blood . Then it came about after all your wickedness
(‘Woe, woe to you! Declares the Lord GOD), that you built yourself a shrine and made yourself a
high place in every square.” Is abortion available in every square? Are the conceived killed with
birth control pills available at the corner pharmacy?

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

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

In Ezekiel 20:25-28 we actually hear sarcasm...
“And I also gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live; and I
pronounced them unclean because of their gifts, in that they caused all their first-born (that which
opens the womb) to pass through the fire so that I might make them desolate, in order that they might
know that I am the LORD.”

In Ezekiel 22: 1-6 we again hear why judgment comes.
Then the word of the Lord came to me saying,
“And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her
abominations.
“And you shall say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “A city shedding blood in her midst, so that her time
will come, and that makes idols, contrary to her interest, for defilement!
“You have become guilty by the (your) blood which you have shed, and defiled by hour idols which
you have made. Thus you have brought your day(s) near and have come to your years; therefore I
have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the lands.
“Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you of ill repute, full of turmoil.
“Behold, the rulers of Israel, each according to his power(arm), have been in you for the
purpose of shedding blood.
“They have treated father and mother lightly within you. The alien they have oppressed in
your midst; the fatherless and the widow they have wronged in you.
“You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.
“Slanderous men have been in you for the purpose of shedding blood, and in you they have
eaten at the mountain shrines. In your midst they have committed acts of lewdness.
“In you they have (he has) uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you they have humbled her who
was unclean in her menstrual impurity.
“And one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his
daughter-in-law. And another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
“In you they have taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and profits, and you
have injured your neighbors for gain by oppression and you have forgotten Me,” declares the
Lord GOD.’

Repent America!

It is America’s choice to follow Josiah in repentance and mourning or not. This is what the
LORD God wants us all to do, listen to Jeremiah 23:16-22...
Thus says the Lord of hosts,
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are leading you
into futility; They speak a vision of their own imagination (heart), Not from the mouth of the
Lord,“They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The Lord has said, “You will have peace”’; And
as for everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, They say,’Calamity will not come
upon you.’ “But who has stood in the council of the Lord, that he should see and hear His word?
Who has given heed to His (My) word and listened? “Behold, the storm of the Lord has gone forth in
wrath, Even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked. The anger of the Lord
will not turn back Until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; In the last days
you will clearly understand it.
“I did not send these prophets, But they ran. I did not speak to them, But they prophesied. But if
they had stood in My council, Then they would have announced My words to My people, And would
have turned them back from their from their evil way And from the evil of their deeds.”

Jeremiah 22:3-5 This is very important...
‘Thus says the Lord, “Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been robbed
from the power of his oppressor. Also do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the
orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
“For if you men will indeed perform this thing, then kings will enter the gates of this house,
sitting in David’s place (for David) on his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, even the
king himself and his servants and his people.
“But if you will not obey theses words, I swear by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that this house
will become a desolation”

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

Break the law and the fair consequences and punishment will be given. You can study history for
yourself and see how the moral decline of a nation brings its demise. Where are we headed? Are we
willing to continue sacrificing our children to appease our false god, whatever it is? And what should
the church do? Pray and fast, weep and wail in mourning. Pray that God will remove the iniquity of
the land. Beg forgiveness, cry for mercy. Protest the lawlessness of this land filled with the blood of
the innocent and WARN OF THE COMING JUDGMENT. It is coming, its just a matter of when,
and I believe it will be at the time of the fullness of the Gentiles.
So besides just outlawing abortion, let's do a total about face. Instead of supporting the abortion
industry, let's support the adoption industry. Let's give life. Interesting to me (I love irony and satire),
is the fact that approximately 43 million abortions have been performed in the United States alone.
Feel like doing something good? Thanks to Oprah we know there are at least 45 million orphans in
Southern Africa. God loves for us to take care of orphans. We are spiritual orphans and He has taken
care of us.

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

The Judgment of Manasseh is coming to the world of abortion.

The reason I write this is because I must warn of the coming judgement because in Ezekiel 3:18-21
God says, "When I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; and you do not warn him or speak out to
warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but
his blood I will require at your hand.
"Yet if you have warned the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked
way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself.
"Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an
obstacle before him, he shall die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his
righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
"However, if you have warned (him) the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does
not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself."

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

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

America's heritage.

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

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

Zephaniah 1:14-2:3
“Near is the great day of the Lord, Near and coming very quickly; Listen, the day of the Lord! In it
(there) the warrior cries out bitterly. A day of wrath is that day, A day of trouble and distress, A day
of destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness, A
day of trumpet and battle cry, Against the fortified cities And the high corner towers. And I will bring
distress on men, so that they will walk like the blind, Because they have sinned against the Lord; And
their blood will be poured out like dust, And their flesh like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold
Will be able to deliver them On the day of the Lord’s wrath; And all the earth will be devoured In the
fire of His jealousy, For He will make a complete end, Indeed a terrifying one, Of all the inhabitants
of the earth.
Gather yourselves together, yes, gather, O nation without shame (longing), before the decree takes
effect (is born)-The day passes like the chaff-Before the burning anger of the Lord comes upon you,
Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you.
Seek the Lord, All you humble of the earth (land) Who have carried out His ordinances (justice);
Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden In the day of the Lord’s anger."

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

Take note America-

Deuteronomy 29:22-28
“Now the generation to come, your sons who rise up after you and the foreigner who comes from a
distant land, when they see the plagues of the land and the diseases with which the Lord has afflicted
it (made it sick), will say, ‘All its land is brimstone and salt, a burning waste, unsown and
unproductive (it is not sown and does not cause to sprout), and no grass grows in it, like the
overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger
and in His wrath.’‘”And all the nations shall say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? Why this
great outburst (heat) of anger?’
“Then men shall say, ‘Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers,
which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
‘And they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they have not known and
whom He had not allotted (portioned) to them.
‘Therefore, the anger of the Lord burned against that land, to bring upon it every curse which is
written in this book; and the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger and in fury and in great
wrath, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’”

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

How does God bless us? Zephaniah 8:4&5 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Old men and old women
will again sit in the streets (squares) of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of age
(the multitude of days).
‘And the streets (squares) of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets (squares).’
Our populations are no longer growing. We are destroying our blessings. The blessing that comes
from taking care of others, younger and older.

Declare a day of mourning.

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

America beware. God knows where our molecules are before we are conceived and God knows
where the bodies of the innocent are after disposal. Psalms 139:15 & 16
“My frame was (bones were) not hidden from Thee, When I was made in secret, And skillfully
wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance;...”
I just finished a course in biology. Learned all about cells and molecular structure. In the depths of the
earth were all the little molecules and ions that made up my body. God brought them together inside
my mother.

Is it ironic that the terrorist has been raised up to shed innocent blood? We fight those who kill the
innocent - we call them cowards and they disgust us, infuriate us, but we allow it under certain
conditions- for the health of the mother, rape and incest. DO NOT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD.
Put the abortion industry out of business and put families back in business.

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

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

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom
and might and honor and glory and blessing." Revelation 5:12
