When God Weeps

A victim of a saline abortion

All the bravado spewed by proponents of "Pro Choice" evaporates rather quickly when you realize what pro choice really means and you view the results of those choices. Pro Choice is a euphemism for murder; a proverbial silk dress on a very filthy pig whose ugliness can't be covered even with the best of fine cloth and linen.

Pro Choice is also a non sequitur because there really isn't any choice involved when the eventual result is murder. Choice involves making the right decision to save life rather than to condemn it behind the transparent facade of individual rights and freedom. To the ancient Jews who were about to enter the land of Israel after spending 40 years wandering in the desert, Moses explained what choice was really about: "Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)

Moses presented the ancient Jews with an ultimatum; choose life by loving the Lord and obeying his laws or suffer the consequences by ignoring the Lord and rejecting his laws. When the ancient Jews chose life, they prospered and their nation flourished. When they rejected God, they invited death and their nation suffered from war, famines and plagues. Through Moses, God warned the Jews what they could expect if they turned their backs on him: "I will heap calamities upon them and spend my arrows against them. I will send wasting famine against them, consuming pestilence and deadly plague; I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts, the venom of vipers that glide in the dust. In the street the sword will make them childless; in their homes terror will reign." (Deuteronomy 32:23-25)

If God punished the Israelites for choosing evil and rebellion over life in the ancient times, then he punishes modern nations that make those same bad choices today. For America, the infanticide of 40 million unborn babies since abortion was tragically legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 brings this nation perilously close to her destruction. No holy God who created mankind in His very own image will tolerate the desecration of that image for very long. Sooner or later, and probably sooner, judgment will come for America and it will come hard. 

In fact, judgment has already begun for America with her descent from her superpower status among world nations. The Russians have already pushed the United States out of Eastern Europe and aim to overtake the U.S. as the dominant superpower in the western hemisphere. Recently, after a Russian nuclear Akula submarine was spotted cruising in the Gulf of Mexico close to America's shoreline, the U.S. said and did nothing, essentially embarrassed, intimidated and humiliated in their own backyard by the upstart Russians. What was the big deal about that Russian nuclear sub? It carried enough firepower to wipe out many major U.S. cities.

Certainly, the U.S. isn't the only nation on earth that performs abortions. But the U.S. is considered the de facto leader of the free world, which means that she leads not only economically and militarily, but morally and ethically as well. When the supposed most Christian nation on earth can't even protect her unborn against abortion murderers, then the end is at hand. It's no wonder why so many Islamic nations have so much contempt for Christianity when they look at how morally corrupt America has become. When a so-called Christian nation commits such mass murder against those created in the image of a holy God, then she not only mocks that God but desecrates his mercy and everything that he stands for.

And so, nations ultimately get the leaders they deserve. When a nation becomes wicked, it deserves and gets wicked leaders. President Barack Obama is the wicked leader that America has earned and he's a reflection of her wickedness; narcissistic, nihilistic, selfish, godless, callous, apathetic, dishonest and arrogant. But God has a long history of bringing down wicked nations and their wicked leaders. Certainly, he allows time for repentance. But that time isn't unlimited. Unless America repents of her corporate rebellion against God and her wickedness--and soon--that time may just about be up.
