Pass Through The
Fire
Leviticus 18:21 And thou shalt
not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt
thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Moses,
the author of Leviticus, witnessed so many merciless atrocities that it may
have become “old hat.” Today, the
merciless murder of millions no longer seems to concern us.
I
recently visited The Holocaust Museum in Dallas, Texas, and witnessed horror
(via film and photographs) of the extermination of the Jews. Adolf Hitler and his progressive political
party murdered approximately 12 Million in Germany.
A
Museum will be required soon to remember The Holocaust of Abortion. As we do not have bodies stacked in piles, (estimates
of 600 million to one billion unborn infants murdered) and we cannot dig up the
communal graves, it will be “less moving” and likely “old hat.”
Amos 1:13-15 Thus saith the
LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will
not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the
women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border: (14)
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the
palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day
of the whirlwind: (15) And their king shall go into captivity, he
and his princes together, saith the LORD.
The
phrase, “For three transgressions of the children of
Ammon, and for four” has been a problem for me. (I kept attempting to count the four
transgressions.) However, after much
study and reading, I believe it relates to many transgressions, (maybe
hundreds, thousands, or even millions.)
This phrase is used seven more times in Chapters 1 and 2. In all these instances, “four” was added to account for the multiple atrocities
that had occurred. One atrocity in these
verses was “because they have ripped up the women with child
of Gilead.” (The “women …of Gilead” were descendants of Jacob, and their ancestors
walked in the Exodus with Moses. They
not only killed Mothers and Children, but also Mothers with Child.)
In
this dissertation, I am paralleling the murdering of innocent unborn children
with our current practice of “legalized” abortion. Regarding “living in a day,” our real problem
in either holocaust lies at the feet of Christians, Jews, and other religions
who profess sanctity of life. (We have
not raised our voices in protest. We
will discuss this either with Jesus, or at the Great White Throne.)
As
was Damascus, Gaza, Tyrus, Edom, Ammon, Moab, Israel and Judah, God will judge our
nation as He judged Ammon for allowing this ongoing perpetual mass murder. (We as individuals must raise our voices and
change our ballots to stop this horror.)
God
tells us in The Book of Amos, Chapter Four.
“Amos 4:6 …yet have ye not returned unto me, saith
the LORD.” The United States of America
as a nation was founded, (as was Israel,) on Godly Christian principles. God laid out the precepts, but
“Progressivism” reared its ugly head around the turn of The Twentieth
Century. Since that time, our
Governing body and our Churches have been turning their backs on God. Our
Churches have failed to speak up and define a “fetus” as a living child of God.
“Amos 4:6
…yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.” (Our last
Democratic Convention even booed God.)
In
Chapter Four, verse 12, God, through Amos tells us to “Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I
will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God…” (We must be prepared to meet God. I have a hard time imagining it will be a
wonderful, totally blessed meeting.)
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must
all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the
things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it
be good or bad.
(It will be either a “good or bad” meeting.) I
have never walked into that type of secular meeting, and walked away
encouraged. This meeting is for
Christians and Christians alone, those who are “in the book of life.”
(If
you have not accepted Christ, your meeting will be at the Great White Throne.)
Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a
great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the
heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. (12)
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books
were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and
the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works. (13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in
it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were
judged every man according to their works.
(14) And death and hell were cast
into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (15)
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into
the lake of fire.
However,
God, within this small epistle from The Prophet Amos, has given us the answer.
Amos 5:4 For thus saith the
LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
Amos 5:6 Seek the LORD, and ye
shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it,
and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
God is telling us in (vv 4, 6) that we will live if we
repent and change our ways. We as voting
citizens, professing Christians, and other religious groups must take a stand
and demand that we quit offering “thy seed [children] pass through the fire to Molech.”
(Molech is a false god that requires human sacrifice.)
We
must “prepare to meet thy God.” “Christian, are you ready? Have you called your Congressmen and your
Representatives and told them what you believe?
When are you going to do it? Get
prepared for The Meeting In The Sky. It
is coming.”
