WHAT IF JESUS HAD BEEN ABORTED AND THE STABLE EMPTY?

An Empty Stable?





What if Mary had been full of fear instead of faith?  What if she was so afraid of endangering her engagement to Joseph that she went to procure herbs to induce an abortion, before Jesus could barely start developing in her womb?


                                    Herbs Used As Abortifacents In The Ancient World


 The greatest tragedy of all Mankind's history would have occurred!


All of civilization would be radically different if the Messiah promised as far back as Adam in the Garden of Eden, had not arrived.


Again as in Isaiah 7:14:

"But this shall be a sign unto you: And a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a child..."



Also promised even as to the location of his birth by the ancient prophet Micah:

"But thou Bethlehem Ephrata, thought thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he  come forth unto Me, that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."




What a horrible travesty it would have been if  Jesus had been conceived in our modern days when aborted babies have their faces ripped off to seize their brains, their chests crushed and punctured so their hearts or lungs can be sold on the black market as they are torn apart limb by limb.

Earth's varying civilizations would dwell in deep, deep darkness if the "Light of The World" had not come.

John 8:12   "Then spoke Jesus again unto them saying, "I am the light of the world: He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."



Had Mankind even survived to our present era, the world would have been a far more somber, joyless place. If Mankind's warring factions had not killed each other off before our COMMON ERA, (renamed by those who want to forget Christ's influence on Earth's development), humans would be even more vicious and bloodthirsty than they are - if that's even possible. 

Western culture would be far less enlightened, as well.

Before the birth of Christ there were four major world religions. The far East embraced a religion without a Savior, only a teacher. The Indian sub-continent embraced Vedic writings from thousands of years before, at least partially embracing death, since Shiva is worshipped as the many-armed goddess of Death.


          Shiva: Goddess of Death; "Destroyer of Worlds"


Then we are left with the religions emanating from two half-brothers. One of the half brothers became the antecedent to a religion of peace, laws and a forth-coming Messiah. The other half-brother only promised a culture of death, constantly trying to kill off the younger, more favored brother...his descendents even vowing to do so until this very day. Their territorial imperative, disguised as a religion, forces itself on the rest of the world by both stealth and threat of violence.

The religions that have most influenced the Western world, Judaism and Christianity - both invite a culture of hope, charity, the concept of being one's brother's keeper...a Good Samaritan. The very essence of joy exudes from these two religions, as opposed to the heavy hand of death or no lasting or truly satisfying answers in the search for the questions of life.

Western civilization has been greatly strengthened and upheld by the concept of laws, and the orderly government of societies large and small. This was especially instituted by the Law of Moses.

These laws currently embellish the walls of court buildings and state houses across America, though it is no longer fashionable to revere or display them in the United States. In fact the core values that once made America great are even now being eroded by this lack of esteem for the rock solid values upon which this once-outstanding nation stood.

If the European world had not been influenced by Christianity it would never have developed into the Europe we know today. The Renaissance would never have occurred.  Think of all the art, music and inventions that would never have existed!

Instead of being "enlightened" mankind would exist in a perpetual state of darkness. Instead of one Hitler, there would probably have been many. Weapons of war, destruction and pain would have been the only creative use of men's minds. Depravity, if not cannibalism would have utterly sunk most cultures before they barely began.

Instead, those who currently call themselves "illumined" thinking they will rid the world of "useless eaters" under Agenda 21, going backwards to a time before the influence of Christ, are determined to throw off the reins of conscience and morals. But the Bible says in Psalms 2 that God is not only laughing at these global rulers, but will basically have them for "breakfast" like toasted crunchies when His Son returns in flaming fire.

Psalm 2:1-4   "Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the Earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Anointed, saying, 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall have them in derision.'


According to their book," The Emergence of The European World", Blum, Cameron and Barnes say:

"As a social phenomenon civilization grows and is transmitted by means of social processes. The growth of civilization is essentially the proliferation and elaboration of all the elements of which civilization is composed."
Another very profound statement proposed by these authors is:
"The confrontation of a relatively primitive society by an advanced or civilized society usually results in at least a partial adoption by the former of the civilizations of the latter. IF HOWEVER, THE CIVILIZED SOCIETY IS FEEBLE, IT MAY SUCCUMB AND ITS CIVILIZATION MAY EXPIRE."



Now this also works another way. The confrontation of a civilized culture by a barbaric one does not guarantee that the barbaric culture will be influenced by the civilized one. In a truly weakened society, divided by political, racial, social, economic and other divisions, the barbarians might indeed prevail, given enough time, and enough multiple, fast-growing reproduction of babies by not just primary family units, but multiple baby-making machines called "wives".


This is where Europe and presently America find themselves today, with the influx of large numbers of imposters masquerading their desire for world conquest under the mask of religion. The term "religion" is used so that any opposition to the incoming invaders can be suppressed under the peer pressure manipulation called "political correctness". What started as a dispute between half brothers has evolved into a clash of civilizations.

It might as well be because it seems that Jesus Christ has been ABORTED from our culture. In his book, "How Then Shall We Live" the great philosopher Francis Schaeffer held forth the concept that whenever a culture stopped adhering to "absolutes' the death knell rang for that culture. He and his wife spent over twenty years studying world civilizations and came to that conclusion. A film presentation which documents the truths of this observation can be seen.

The cultural expansion of Europe would not have happened without the spread of Christianity, (the Jewish sect introduced by the birth, death, and resurrection of one of King David's royal descendents).

"Christianization gave to the European world a unity and cultural cohesiveness that was the ideological foundation of its civilization", say the writers of "The Emergence of the European World".


Hope would not be present in this world without the birth of Jesus Christ. It was Jesus, Himself that brought hope to Earth. The promise of eternal life. Compassion for others.

There would never have been world explorers without hope. Medicine, learning and science could never have flourished so rapidly as they have until today without the element of hope which Jesus brought onto this planet. Without the element of hope there is no exploration or discovery.

There might not have even been an America had it not been for the birth of that Babe-in-a-manger. Christopher (Christ's namesake) Colombus' diary itself tells how he felt "led" by God's Holy Spirit in the discovery of the New World. It was not just the desire to find gold that spurred on Christophe Colon's voyages to the Americas. His very own writings reveal his desire to share Christ with a land that did not know Him.

Men's equality under God comes from the very basic concepts of Christianity, as does FREEDOM. as we make our way to what many call the "post-Christian era", having now aborted Jesus Christ from our schools, governmental centers, our churches and our lives, we can expect darkness to fall upon the face of Western civilization. Yes. Indeed. Even upon the face of America. As we have forcibly ejected the pure God-Child from our nation, we will see the after-effect of this violent abortion upon America's once-warm and productive womb.

No longer will America be the World's Protector, defender and bastion of liberty. No longer can America sustain the "Light that was lit upon its hill". For it has forcibly snuffed out that Light. 

As the United States tries to continually quench out the light of Jesus Christ burning dimly in some recesses of our nation, darkness will fall upon the Earth.

Unless we recognize that the Baby which was born in Bethlehem, was the source of this planet's life and light, and achievements given to Mankind by God Almighty, we will be like people who sit in great darkness.

Thank God the stable did not stand empty! God picked the right virgin! Mary did not abort Jesus. She gave birth! He grew up. Became Emmanuel (God with us), and left the light of His Holy Spirit, His teachings, and His followers.

But as darkness is allowed to arise... As truth is exchanged for lies, good called evil and evil called good, we shall face a day of reckoning... not only as a nation...not only as a civilization...but as an entire planet.

As He came once as "a little lamb" He shall now come as a roaring lion. No matter how hard we try to eject or reject Him from our culture or our lives. Have no doubt. He will come again! Soon. Just as the prophecies for His First Arrival had to be fulfilled and COULD NOT BE ABORTED, so shall His Second Coming happen as well. It shall not be stopped, no matter how hard the midwives of evil attempt it. Even if they were to try to change the timeline - the very fabric of history itself - the prophecies will be fulfilled. They shall not be aborted.

 The birth pangs of Earth like a woman in labor have begun. Earth's writhing in labor is happening faster, harder.  The cries of Earth and its inhabitants reach to the very heights of Heaven. And He will arrive - very soon. He cannot be stopped. He will come again!

STORM CLOUDS OVER PARIS AND USA 2015

   
        

(WRITTEN DECEMBER 7th - BUT COULD NOT GET INTO BLOG SITE.)


MY HEART GOES OUT to one of America's two "Sister" nations today, France, the other being Israel.





France nursed us through the American Revolution, both financially and physically, supplying valuable and skilled leaders of war such as General Lafayette. Then there is also brilliant soldier and architect Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who even designed many of our classical buildings in Washington, D.C
.

Who was it that gave us the statue of Liberty? France, of course!







That same prophetic, seer gift, given by the Holy Spirit to Joan of Arc, still lives in France.  The flames must be stirred as people seek God.





Despite the fact that France has foolishly chosen the way of Socialism, as America has also been trending for the past seven years under the devious designation "Progressive" leaders, the Holy One - the Creator - wants to draw their gaze - and ours - and our attention back to Him.





Despite the reality that clothes and food, and wine have become the symbols of Paris, that is only transient.





The pride with which France has lived from day to day, thinking themselves better, more refined than the rest of the world must be tempered by the reality of God's judgement on a wayward nation...just as currently in America, as well.





France is a country which has only allowed flickers of God's Light to show up strongly in places like Lourdes, and occasionally in the great cathedrals and churches in France.









That Light is especially bright in the case of Eglise de  St. Roch , on Rue St. Honore in Paris. This gem which hides its inner beauty with a relatively plain exterior, has sheltered the hidden light of God's Holy Spirit for hundreds of years.





The ones who built that wondrous church, who guided the art within, spoke so clearly through the displays of sculpture, painting, and certain prayer alcoves of the purpose and splendor of God's love for mankind.


As one gazes at the ark of the covenant, in an alcove close to the grand altar of the church, one sees a high inset with a sculpted Yeshua Ha Maschiach hanging illuminated across the way, over the moving panorama.




The Holy Spirit, Esprit de Sante, Ruach Ha Kodesh, rings within the voices of the priests, as their perfect harmonies describe how we go from "Glory to Glory" as we gaze in a mirror darkly, hardly glazed by the passage of thousands of years, though not diminished.   (II Corinthians 3:18)





The pockmarked exterior, riddled with bullets from the French Revolution, leaves traces of a monarch that abandoned and abused the people with wanton over-taxation...and an elite that cared only for their own comfort and preservation.









The tall stone hallways ring with the implanted/etched memories, dimly echoing down the centuries, with cries of innocent ones who shed blood in the streets during that horrible time of revolution.











Though not at this exact spot, Joan of Arc's own blood congealed as it double-burned to ashes raked to nothing, to try to erase her memory. That did not succeed. Now she is highly celebrated in Paris, as it should be. Her golden statue stands just a few mere blocks down the street from the church.











The world drew a collective gasp over the atrocities committed November 13th, and then again as America blanched while San Bernadino became a target of violence on December 2nd.

But France lives on. And America does so as well.





The same Spirit which resided in the heart of and mind of Joan of Arc continues, not only in France but also in America as Believers in Christ Jesus take seriously the words of two men of God separated by millennia, who said the exact same thing


 Not only in America and France but around the world we watch as the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy becomes evident to those who are not too frightened to truly see God in action.





Joel 2:28 says "...I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters SHALL PROPHESY,  your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."




Then fast forward a ton of centuries to hear Peter in a square in Jerusalem declaring the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy, which continues as we quickly speed toward the End of Days:






"And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams..."







For those who long after the Living God with all their hearts and minds, who can see past the tradition of men long enough to view what God has in store for them, we believe, even as we hear of earthquakes daily, strange weather, and signs in the sky across the globe. History has accelerated to its final, climactic event, the Return of our Lord Jesus Christ. We receive these gifts Our Lord has in store for us as in faith we ask and trust Him for the same miracles as happened when Emmanuel walked the Earth alongside us.


Mark 16:17 and 20 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues...
           And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming  the Word with signs following
              



 If France turns back to the true and Living God great shall be the peace of the people of Paris. Great shall be the peace of the people of France. In fact, it could even start at Eglise de  St. Roch (Church of Saint Rock) on Rue St. Honore.









Perhaps America will again follow France's lead, following after liberty, not with war but rather through the gifts, visions, and prophetic insights as we reach out to the Living God as well.


Yes. Joan of Arc did have a fighting Spirit and the Lord gave her supernatural knowledge for warfare and military planning. But our Weapons ARE NOT EARTHLY. They are instead the "Sword of The Spirit" which is the Word of God, the Holy Bible. Our strongest weapons along with God's own Words are praise and intercession. The Church of Jesus Christ must storm the Gates of Heaven. Then the Gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church, nor against Paris, nor against the U.S.A.  That is - if the true Christians in those locations learn out to interceed before God's throne for their nations.


Paul taught this to the Church and oh if you could only learn this lesson well:
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds." 


 For only where the Living God dwells and IS WELCOME, does the true Spirit of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity reign!


II Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."


"Ou l'esprit du Seigneur est la est la liberte."
