The world is unraveling. That is the theme of this series and each week we find more evidence for the proposition. Certainly, at least most Western nations have lost the political backbone to even preserve their own culture. Europe is already in disarray and America is not far behind. On March 5, the New York Times published an article entitled: “Border at ‘Breaking Point’ as More than 76,000 Unauthorized Migrants Cross in a Month.” One excerpt said, “‘The system is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point’….The nation’s top border enforcement officer painted a picture of processing centers filled to capacity, border agents struggling to meet medical needs and thousands of exhausted members of migrant families crammed into a detention system that was not built to house them — all while newcomers continue to arrive, sometimes by the busload, at the rate of 2,200 a day. ‘This is clearly both a border security and a humanitarian crisis,’ Mr. McAleenan said.”[i]
That’s the physical attack on the culture. But there is a moral one that is even more insidious. It is the very rapid dissolution of our moral center. The US lives in a state of moral chaos. This is especially evident in two key areas; the LGBTQ Revolution and the legalizing of Full Term Abortion….and effectively, the practice of infanticide. These issues are not only dividing the nation – but even the Church, which rationally should be united behind the biblical view. Scripture is clear in these areas. One example can be found in Paul’s letter to the Romans, chapter 1:26-28. “For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.” And as to the value of human life, we read in Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you.” And then there’s this condemnation of child sacrifice, which at its root is what abortion really is. God takes His own people to task that horrible sin. “They have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind.” (Jeremiah 19:5) There have been over 60 million sacrificed since Roe-v-Wade.
LGBT & FULL-TERM ABORTION = PAGAN MORALITY – What drives such falling morality? What enables a once Christian culture to fall so far and so fast? What was unthinkable in our youth – and unlikely even a decade ago – is now the sad reality. We, the United States, the West, – much of the world – has adopted pagan mores. The barbarians have stormed the gates while we were sleeping or otherwise preoccupied with our little diversions. In some places this paganism is even manifesting itself in very open ways. Listen to the words of this article from Ancient Origins. “Europe is in the midst of a pagan revival. Across Europe, different cultures are attempting to revive their pre-Christian religious heritage. Greece is no exception. Although the movement is small, there is a religious movement attempting to revive the worship of the ancient Greek gods.” It goes on to tell us that these neo-pagans, calling themselves “Hellenes worship and honor the Greek gods including Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Ares, Hades, Hestia, Artemis, Apollo, and Athena among others. Worship can be performed in temples or in open spaces.”[ii]
OK, you may say, ‘Those are just kooks. That’s not going to take,’ But there’s a plethora of kooks out there and they come in different forms, it is taking already. Radical Feminism is a part of this paganistic, tearing down of morality. To celebrate International Women’s Day, marchers performed a mock abortion of Jesus, in front of a cathedral in Argentina.
That’s how far the godless Left is willing to take things. Here’s the description given by CNS News. “In the mock abortion in front of the cathedral, a young woman is wearing a white dress, a blue veil, and a crown of flowers. She is also wearing what appears to be a rosary around her neck. She is sitting on a chair with her legs spread and several ‘abortionists’ wearing pink ‘pussy’ hats are removing and dismembering a bloody fake baby from her vagina. Fake blood and body parts cover the street.” The abortion was cheered by the press as “as symbolically killing ‘patriarchy’ and ‘forced heterosexuality.’[iii] And here’s the connection with the pagan world. Just as homosexuality was central to the pagan world, so was the practice of child sacrifice. We know about the child sacrifice practiced in the ‘darkened’ pagan cultures. But even in the so-called civilized cultures of Rome and Greece, abortion as accepted practice.[iv] [And how ‘civilized’ can a culture be that executes its prisoners through crucifixion?]
In actual fact, both abortion and child sacrifice was all over the ancient world. In Carthage, child sacrifice was accomplished by burning children up to the age of six. Linda Kimball of Renew America did some wonderful research on this subject, drawing a direct line between “American’s progressive pagan elites” and this whitewashed form of “human sacrifice.” In her article she cites one source that described the Carthaginian madness. “There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire.” The Greek writer Plutarch added, “the whole area before the statue was filled with a loud noise of flutes and drums so that the cries of wailing should not reach the ears of the people.”[v]
In the New World, we had quite a number of practitioners of the cruel arts. The Mayans didn’t limit themselves to children. They were equal opportunity human-sacrificers; men, women, children, they didn’t care. Their method: They would have a designated functionary “extract the heart” of a living victim.[vi] Not to be outdone, a little farther north, the Aztecs “once sacrificed twenty thousand people in a single ceremony to commemorate the dedication of a new temple. Then they ate them.”[vii] The Aztec’s “victims would be forced to lean back against the stone, causing their chests to protrude to make it easier for the pagan priests to slice open their chests, reach in, yank out a still beating heart and eat it.”[viii]
All of these rituals were undertaken in the context of celebrations. These were happy times. The New York Senators cheered the passage of the full term abortion bill. Is it not the same thing? Linda Kimball draws the comparison well. “As evil as Jehovah-rejecting Jews, Carthaginians, Mayans, Aztecs, and other pagans were, they were rank amateurs when compared to America’s sadistically depraved Progressive pagan elites. Rather than slaughtering babies in ravines or burning them to death in Moloch ovens American babies are barbarically murdered according to precise scientific procedures calling for the suctioning out of the brains of living babies or burning babies to death from the inside out while within the womb.” Listen to some of these descriptions of the methods of execution.
This first comes from Dr Pastor Steve Rowitt, writing about the introduction of Partial Birth Abortion which was introduced in 1992. It is a three-day process for babies from 20 weeks to full term. “The amniotic fluid is drained and all but the baby’s head is pulled out of the birth canal. The abortionist uses a sharp pair of surgical scissors to stab the base of the living baby’s skull, spreading the scissors to enlarge the hole. The scissors are removed and a suction tube is inserted into the skull opening to “evacuate” the brain. This kills the baby and collapses the head, allowing the abortionist to fully deliver the child.”
Then there is the Saline Injection Abortion which can be used on babies from 16 weeks on. “A long needle is inserted through the mother’s abdomen to remove and then replace some of the amniotic fluid with a solution of concentrated salt. The baby breathes in and swallows the solution and usually dies in one to two hours – though sometimes death takes many hours – from salt poisoning, dehydration, convulsions, hemorrhages of the brain and failure of other organs. The baby is literally burned inside and out by the strong salt solution.”[ix]
Now we’ve added another component to the mix; the sale of baby body parts. It’s quite the industry. Here are the words of Planned Parenthood Director Deborah Nucatola in 2014. “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not going to crush that part, I’m going to basically crush below, I’m going to crush above, and I’m going to see if I can get it all intact.” Enter the spirit of greed into the equation. [x]
Now that radical spirit defined by that act has turned into direct political action. Democrats in Congress recently voted to quash the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. In other words, if a baby happens to survive abortion, well, we can’t let him or her live. This all came to the forefront recently when Kathy Tran, a Virginia Legislator, making the argument for full term abortion. Then came the Governor of that fine Commonwealth, Ralph Northam, who, – in the words of Susan Duclos of ANP, “defended that proposal, but took it even further, stating, and I quote ‘The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.’” I saw the clip – and there’s no mistaking it, the good Governor was making the case that the infant’s life could be taken. Duclos went on: “The Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, would have required that health professionals give proper medical care to any infant that was born alive after a botched abortion, yet every ‘progressive’ Democratic politician voted to block that bill from receiving a full Senate vote to be passed into law.”[xi]
The National Review pointed out just how far to the left the Dems have traveled. “All six of the Democratic senators currently running for the 2020 presidential nomination voted against the bill: Cory Booker (N.J.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), along with Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont.”[xii]
But such a radical stand – the endorsement of infanticide – is proving not to line up with the values of the American public. The Knights of Columbus reported the results of a new Marist poll, announcing it with this statement. “In just one month, Americans have made a sudden and dramatic shift away from the pro-choice position and toward a pro-life stance, according to a new Marist poll… In a substantial, double-digit shift, according to the poll, Americans are now as likely to identify as pro-life (47 percent) as pro-choice (47 percent). Just last month, a similar survey conducted by The Marist Poll found Americans more likely to identify as pro-choice than as pro-life by 17 percentage points (55 to 38 percent). Democrats moved in their pro-life identity from 20 percent to 34 percent…. The number of Democrats now identifying as pro-life is 34 percent, up from 20 percent last month, while the number identifying as pro-choice fell from 75 percent to 61 percent. Younger Americans also moved dramatically, now dividing 47 percent pro-life to 48 percent pro-choice. One month ago, the gap was almost 40 percentage points with only 28 percent identifying as pro-life and 65 percent identifying as pro-choice.”[xiii]
Besides taking a morally reprehensible position, the Radical Dems seem to be backing the wrong horse on this issue. Full term abortion is supported by only about 28% of Americans, with 62% opposed – with 50% strongly opposed. And the American public stands even more strongly against not protecting the survivors of abortion. 77% would support the legislation the Dems just rejected to that end. 55% strongly take that position. The Born Alive Act had strong support in every region of the country. And even 70% of the Democrats supported it.
The trend in American public opinion is showing signs of coming back to a biblically-based morality. As a Church we need to do a few things. We must reach out to our politicians and let them know how we feel. More importantly we must reach out to the God of this universe, to seek His will in humility and repentance. This nation is bearing many sins. But the promises of God still apply. We can see God’s hand of protection being lifted and the hand of judgement begin to fall on America and the world. Yet 2Chronicles 7:13-14 says this: “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
A DEEPER BORDER THREAT – Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show is the author of some new and startling revelations. He has been the prime source in identifying the Central American military training camps that are funneling terrorists from the Middle East, MS-13 and the Mexican Drug Cartels into the US. Now something new is emerging. They are tunneling under the border. Even the Washington Post is reporting on it.[xiv] Now Hodges reports that in conversations with a contact of his, a “deep-cover intelligence official,” he was told that some very sophisticated military equipment was discovered. These included anti-tank mines, “50 calibre machine guns as well as massive amounts of C-4 explosives, gas masks and biohazard suits.” In addition they found “More RPG’s than you will find on most military bases.”
These are very well built tunnels. They “are electrified and some contain portable air supplies in case of a cave in. They are often well-stocked in terms of necessary survival supplies including food, water, and medical supplies. Upon being told this, I stated that this is military operation and then came the most stunning revelation. In a discovered tunnel under Tijuana which extended well into the United States, Chinese made weapons were discovered. One border official told me that he has personally witnessed the confiscation of weapons from over a dozen different countries. The same source said that this is the continuation of Eric Holder’s Fast and Furious operation.” All of this is connected to drug running and sex and people trafficking – with strong indications – though not yet proof – that these are linked to American Deep State operatives.[xv]
SOME SPEECH ISN’T FREE – An Arizona high school has scrapped the 1st Amendment – at least the part about free speech. Here’s an excerpt from The Common Sense Show. “A school has a ‘Celebrate America’ day and students are encouraged to dress accordingly. Wouldn’t it seem reasonable and expected that some students would celebrate the President, regardless of who the President was/is? However, at Perry High School in Arizona, the administration has decided what political views will be tolerated and which ones will not be honored. Last week at this school, students were singled out for the political expression of wearing MAGA clothing, they were harassed, belittled and even punished….. only Trump supporters were singled out. Perry High School has gone full Gestapo! Where is the ACLU?….Upon seeing the clothing, the security guards told the students to leave campus. ….When the students did not immediately comply they were dealt with by the administration of the school. One female student refused to submit to this illegitimately authority until she was represented by her mother, was refused access to her mother in this instance and then was promptly suspended for 10 days for being ‘defiant.’ How many Constitutional violations did you just read in this paragraph?”[xvi]
