Surely these things happened to Judah according to the LORD’s command,in order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all he had done, including the shedding of innocent blood. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was not willing to forgive.
2 Kings 24:3
Today’s scripture reminds us that one of the sins for which the southern kingdom of Israel was brought under judgment was the shedding of innocent blood. We know from several other areas of scripture that much of the innocent blood that was shed was the blood of babies who were sacrificed to Molech. Thousands of years later, another great society, the USA is mimicking the sins Israel. More that 57,000,000 children have been slaughtered in the United States since Roe vs Wade making the womb the most dangerous place for an American citizen. When divided by the 3,800,000 square miles in the US, we come up with 15 murdered innocent per square mile. So like the evil king, Manasseh, we have filled America with innocent blood.
So what are we to do? For one thing, if you are still attending a church that refuses to get involved politically, find one that is ready to get in the fight and move! This modern day holocaust has out-paced the Jewish Holocaust by nearly ten fold. Just as the Jewish Holocaust could not have occurred without the consent of the governed, neither could the murder of 57 million precious American babies.
Hitler said, “You take care of the church. You pastors should worry about getting people to heaven and leave this world to me.” Yes, saving souls should always be the primary mission of the Church and getting involved in politics should never hinder her ability to fulfill that mandate, but I believe the Church in America has the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time. We certainly see no shortage of church ministries that focus on softball teams, coffee shops, book stores, movie night and a wide array of social gatherings. And that is as it should be, because fellowship is also a vital ministry of the Church. My point is, if we have time for these things, let us not neglect the far more important task of political involvement.
Since politics have been neglected for so long and we do find ourselves in such a predicament of expecting God’s wrath, make sure you have your preparedness ducks in a row. If you missed the last Prepper Recon Friday Night at the Movies, I encourage you to check it out. I posted a message from Messianic Rabbi Johnathan Cahn where he explains the Jewish 7 year cycle of the Shmitah. The last two Shmitahs have brought 9/11 and the great recession. The next Shmitah falls on September 13, 2015. If you haven’t already, please check out The Mystery of the Shmitah.
If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. Come back every Sunday for a new Prepper Bible Study! The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.
Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
