All right. God is good, but a lot of people are wicked in this day and age. The title of the message today is, Pagan Child Sacrifice Revived. Not only has it already revived in our land for quite some time, but they're trying to keep it alive. Not the babies. Their so-called right to kill babies. They want to keep that alive. So the subtitle of my message today is Say No to Abortion. And what we have here is the idol Melech, Melech, the Canaanite idol. And Planned Parenthood is right over the front of this thing with a woman offering her fruit of her womb to this idol. And I'm gonna tell you, this is not just figurative. This is happening today. Dear Father, we do pray that you help us understand the importance of shining our light, praying for our land, repenting of whatever we've done or whatever we are doing to to not get in the way of this wickedness. Father, we do pray that this amendment, this wicked amendment in Missouri would fail. In Jesus' name, amen. Well, what are we talking about here? We're talking about a lot of people with outside money coming into Missouri and trying to stir up people to go vote to pass this Missouri amendment. And here's how they usually phrase it. Would you like to keep the government out of your health care? Don't you want the government out of your health? Why don't you pass this amendment? These are the same people that were insane about COVID and everything the government was doing not very long ago. Now they want to keep the government out of things because they're not getting their way to go kill their baby. Nobody put a baby in them against their will. There's a way that babies occur. And they chose. and they want the right, which doesn't exist. They want the right to be able to kill their baby. Here's NPR, very liberal news site. I'm quoting from them just to show you what they're saying. Missouri Amendment 3, abortion rights ballot measure. Missouri was the first state to enact a near total ban on abortion. Praise God for that. I'm glad to be here. This November, Missouri voters have the chance to reverse it with Amendment 3, which would guarantee the right to an abortion until fetal viability. They mean it could live outside the womb without its mother, as if it's not alive until that. Missourians could be among the nation's first voters to reverse a near total abortion ban when they weigh in on Amendment 3 in the November 5th election. And I pray we show the other states, you know, you go jump in the lake of fire if you want to, but we're not gonna go that way. Missouri officials signed paperwork triggering the ban to take effect just minutes after the U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, which established access to abortion in 1973. Ten states could affirm the right to an abortion in their state constitutions in November. I tell you, this election, I've never seen anything more important. than what's all happening in the next few weeks, at least in politics. Like Missouri's Amendment 3, Amendment 3 needs a simple majority statewide to pass. Josh Hawley says what it really does, it allows transgender surgeries without parental consent. And of course they're calling that a lie and all of that. I looked up on Google some of the news about this amendment, and Google, I'm not saying it was ever here, but Google is just gone. I mean, they give you the news they want you to have, and you don't get anything, but they're biased news just about for just, and nobody really is going to go any deeper, and pretty soon you just go a few pages. Basically, they're just giving you the new sites they want you to see. And they're taking so much information off the web. It was a trick, so everybody would get rid of their books, and nobody would research and know how to go to a library anymore, and they don't have a library in their home. And now, they said, we'll just use Google. And now Google is totally not giving free access to information, from what it appears to me. But the title of my message, as I said, was Pagan Child Sacrifice Revived. And let's go back and take a look at what God says to his people, Israel, in Leviticus 18. We saw this a few weeks ago. And I wanna show you. Verse three of Leviticus 18. After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelt shall you not do." A lot of historians try to deny, but there is enough ancient witnesses that Egypt participated in sacrifices of humans and child sacrifice. And we know even in the Bible, they were gonna go kill all the Israelite males, you know, so they don't have any trouble killing kids, you know. But he says, and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you shall you not do, neither shall you walk in their ordinances. Moreover, thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her. So he's gonna begin to give us things that they were doing in Egypt and things they're doing in the land of Canaan, and he's gonna give them the Canaanites' land. and he's gonna cast them out. And why is he gonna cast the Canaanites out of their land? Because they were doing these things, these abominations. Now, I want you to think about this. People say, I don't agree with the Bible. God is casting the Canaanites out of their land, not because they weren't following the Bible, They weren't following natural law. That is the conscience and light that everybody has inside of them. And the nation had given themselves over to these debased, vile abominations, and God punished them. This has never changed. These things that God's gonna now talk about, any nation He will punish. Nations. Whole nations. He'll cause you to be taken over by your enemies because of these things right here. The land will be polluted. You will be cursed as a nation. Now God does give us commandments in the Bible. But He expects us to already know these things right here. You don't know in your heart What mode of baptism? There's really one mode of baptism. It means to dip. But there's people that believe you ought to sprinkle little babies, you know. You've got to look in the Bible and see what God wants in regard to that. But when it comes to these moral things, man, I'm telling you, these things are in our own conscience. They're written in our heart. So he begins here, after talking about nakedness and your family members, he says, thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife to defile thyself with her. That's what they did in Egypt, that's what they did in the land of Canaan. And don't commit adultery, is what he's saying. You don't need a Bible to know not to commit adultery. But listen to this. Moreover, thou shalt not like, oh, here it is, and thou shalt not let any of thy seed, that's your children, pass through the fire to Molech, that's the Canaanite god, so-called, that the Canaanites worship. Don't let your children, what he's saying is don't take your little babies and give them to the fires of Malak and burn them in sacrifice to Malak." He goes, I'm glad we're not doing that today. What do you think you're burning them with? If you burn them with saline solution like a slug, is that somehow okay? You bring them out of the womb and piece by piece, Neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God, I am the Lord." Don't you take the Lord's name in vain. I tell you, if you're watching a comedian, you're watching somebody and they say Jesus is a cuss word, you better turn that thing off and get away from it. Don't be anywhere near it. These are things God says He'll cast you out of the land for. You want a curse in your house? Take the name of the Lord in vain or have fellowship with those who do. Commit adultery or kill your kids. Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is an abomination. You get the point of the things that you don't need a Bible to know that they're wrong? Homosexuality, sodomy, adultery, killing your children, infanticide. What does God say? Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things. For in all these, the nations are defiled, which I cast out before you." The later historians would say, I don't believe Egypt was actually having child sacrifice. God just said it. God just said they were. He said nations. Well, he is talking about Canaan right here, but earlier he was talking about Egypt. And the land is defiled, therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it. And the land itself vomited out her inhabitants. For whosoever shall commit any of these abomination, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. God brings the death penalty upon people and upon nations that do these things. You say, you believe God's against homosexuality? I believe God thinks it's an abomination. God knows it is. And when people give themselves over to that, and abortion, baby killing, and all these things, you're cursing our country. You're cursing our nation. Now, there are going to be some commentators that come along, and they don't like what they're reading. It makes them uncomfortable. And they begin to say, well, I don't think passing through the fire meant that they were actually burning their babies. It must have been like a little ritual, you know. You just kind of pass your little baby over it. It doesn't really burn it and kill it. Let's see what the Bible says about this whole thing. Psalms 106. They did not destroy the nations concerning whom the Lord commanded them. Those Canaanites, they were to destroy because they were committing abortion and sodomy and adultery and all of these things. And they were to just destroy them, but they didn't do it. So that left them in the land. And what do you think happened? They began to be influenced by their ways. Now today, you're not called to go eradicate. Now when the Lord Jesus comes, he's coming back and there's gonna be a literal eradication, okay? He's gonna destroy in judgment and death those that are the nations of the world that are not following him. But right now as a believer, you are called to shine the Lord's light and be a pilgrim, a stranger. Which means you exist in the midst of a fallen dark world, but you're to touch not the unclean thing. You're to be separate from it. And you're just, I'm just passing through. I'm passing through. This is not my age. Okay, this is not my world. I'm going to do my best to just go through, be a light to you, and not get caught up in your mess. This is why the church is so important. It's why being around like-minded Christians that are separated so we can encourage one another. And it's hard not to get caught up in the evils of this world. And that's what happened to the Israelites. They just left some of them alive. And they got corrupted. Even Solomon got corrupted. but were mingled among the heathen and learned their works. What were these works that they learned? They served their idols, like Moloch, which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils. See, when you serve an idol, you're actually serving a devil, a demon, a devil. And they shed innocent blood, Innocent to us. Why? Because babies have never sinned. They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols. So here the Bible says, when they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted, it was polluted with blood. They killed their babies to the Canaanite gods. Passing through the fire means they burned them to death. Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. Jeremiah talks about this. Jeremiah 7, and they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hanom. to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire. It didn't just say pass through the fire. Pass through the fire meant to burn them. Which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. Now why is it called Topheth? Bailey's Universal Dictionary tells us in 1731, Topheth was the place It was called tofet because tofet means a drum. Because when they went to offer their babies, they played drums really, really loud. Commentators and ancient historians believed they wanted to play the drums really, really loud so you get caught up in the music like a hypnotic trance and not hear the babies crying, where all of a sudden you start having sympathy. Does the devil use drums and a beat to get you not thinking about God today? Just get you caught up with just the hypnotism and wickedness of the age? You better believe he does. Do you know that was an instrument that Lucifer had before he fell? Was the drum. And I'm not saying that all percussion is wrong. That's foolish. But the way the devil uses it to put you in a trance and to drown out your conscience where you can't hear it. That's one reason people blast that music so loud and they get caught up in those wicked beats and things because the idea is to get you just thinking about sin and not having a conscience. Jeremiah 19 says, they have built also the high places of Baal to burn their sons with fire, for burnt offerings unto Baal. You can't say it any more clearer than that, man. Which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, the drum, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom. A lot of places in America, a lot of cities that have become cities of slaughter. It's not just the word tofet, meaning drum. Archeology sites have clay figures of Malik, and you have people playing drums around Malik. Joseph Carlyle, in 1654, in his commentary on the Book of Job, says, when these Jews, in these abominable idolatries, offered their own children, see, the Jews started doing it. In sacrifice to Moloch, having the face of a bullock, they used to beat upon drums and tabrets, those are tambourines, that the shrieks and the cries of the poor children might not be heard by the father. Hence the place was called Tophet from Toph, a drum, which comes from a radical word signifying to beat, as we ordinarily say, beat the drum. Recently, Tabitha and Josiah and I were in Greenville, South Carolina, and we went to an abortion clinic with some friends. And there's this woman there, And instead of beating drums so you don't hear babies crying, they got the babies that they're killing in the mama's womb back behind closed doors. But they have a fence around the temple of death, which is a so-called abortion health clinic. They always give it the name of the opposite of what it is. But you could climb up a ladder and preach to the people going in over the fence. And if you begin to preach and try to preach loudly so people coming in can hear, she walks around playing this crazy, loud, insane sounds and excruciating and it's to drown out the preaching. So what they used to do is try to drown out the cries, and they probably were drowning out the cries of the prophets that were preaching against the evil, but they were also drowning out the cries of the babies. So you see this right now. We used to preach at abortion clinics and witness to the women going in in Fort Worth at Women's Whole Health Clinic. and you had some access to be able, they could hear you before they walked in the door, you know. But they're doing everything they can to try to keep people from witnessing to these women that want to kill their babies. Evelyn Abbott, in A History of Greece in 1892, says the Moloch statue of the ancient Israelites bore the head of an ox. Satanists to this day worship Baphomet, and it's this transgendered creature. It's got an ox head with man arms, a woman's chest, and you see Satan's, it's a monster of Satan, monstrosity. So what you're having here is the worship of Lucifer It was the God of Canaan. They gave their babies in sacrifice to this ox God. Ezekiel talks about it in Ezekiel 23. That they have committed adultery. That was one of the sins of Canaan. And blood is in their hands. and where their idols they have committed adultery. Now what happens when a nation gives itself over to fornication and adultery? They said there's nothing wrong with that. See, it used to be it was a shame to dress immodestly and show somebody other than your husband parts of your body that should be preserved for your husband or your future husband. Then they got rid of that idea. Oh, there's no shame. Just walk around naked, it's okay. And then they said, now, since you're walking around naked, you might as well fornicate. There's nothing wrong with it. You children, you teenagers, go out and don't be around your mom and dad, don't have any chaperone with you, and just go out someplace and you shouldn't be surprised that a generation fell to fornication. How can you be shocked at that? It was on purpose. It was intentional. Then once you've got everybody fornicating, or so many people, what are you going to do with the babies? And the feminist said, well, this isn't right, because a man, he fornicates, and then he goes off over here somewhere else. But the woman, she's got to have this baby. So we want the right for women to kill their baby. So just look at the progression here. It says they have committed adultery. Now what comes after that? Blood is in their hands. You gonna go fornicate, have babies out of wedlock? Now they wanna kill their babies. With their idols they have committed adultery and have also caused their sons, whom they bear in the knee, to pass for them through the fire to devour them. If you had any idea, if you had a doubt what pass through the fire meant, to burn them as a sacrifice, to devour them. For when they had slain their children to their idols, clear as you can get it, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it. And lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house. What God's saying is, You got people going to church after they commit an abortion. Whether they kill the baby in their womb through some poison or something, or whether after it's born they kill it. It's all infanticide. 2 Chronicles 28. Ahaz was 28 years old when he began to rank. See, if you're committing some of these abominations or any of them, it's not that God didn't want you to go to church. God wants you to go to church and repent. He said, if you're going to worship me, lift up holy hands. None of us are perfect. But tell God you're sorry for abominations and you're not going to do them anymore. And then lift up your hands to God. hands of repentance, hands of confession, not just covering over your sin and saying, I didn't kill a baby, it was a fetus. Fetus just, what do you think fetus means? It's just Latin for baby. Fetus never means blob, but they told a whole generation from 1973 on, That, oh, somebody says, I don't wanna kill a baby. They said, it's not a baby, it's a blob. It's just tissue, it's not even alive. And then the drums are playing really, really loud, and see, people get caught up in that lie. And it's not that God can't forgive you for it. But we gotta go to God and say, my hands are bloody. Like David did, Psalm 51. And cry to God and tell God you're sorry. And say you're gonna work for Him, not because you can earn salvation, but as fruit of your repentance, that you're gonna try to stop this wickedness everywhere you see it. 2 Chronicles 28, Ahaz was 20 years old when he began to reign. And moreover, he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom. That's not good. And burnt his children in the fire after the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. Okay. I think it's about as clear as clear can be. There were nations of the world, some worse than others, that were sacrificing their children in fire to Baal and Moloch. And these were transgender gods, by the way, and the people worshiped them by men wearing women's clothing and women wearing men's clothing. And when you have a nation And when you look around, everything's filled with fornication and adultery. And even Christians are committing adultery and then coming to church as if it doesn't matter. And then you see baby killing happening all over the nation. And then you see the trans movement. You say, preacher, what's going on right now? We're falling. The nation's being turned over. We're going back to the pagan world and the pagan, ancient pagan days. So whatever happened to those pagan nations, God destroyed them. They either repented and God preserved them or God wiped them away. Whether it's a city or a nation or whatever it was. So what is a root cause? There has to be some root causes that people would kill their babies. Well, feminism, funded by people with big money, we found out later. Funded by commies, funded by New World Order people. They funded feminism. That's not some conspiracy idea. That's just fact. They funded feminism. Why do they want to fund feminism? To destroy the family. Why do they want to destroy the family? For population control. But what if everybody goes and fornicates? Well you've got to have abortion. You've got to have baby killing. So population control and all of these other agendas is one reason they push for abortion. But there's more to it. They want the end of America. They do not want America's light to shine because you're in the way of world government, unless they can use you. See, there's parts of America that are not going along with their world government ideas, see, and they want to eradicate that. But another reason is somebody says, I'm young. I have my whole life ahead of me. I'm not ready for a baby. So what's happening now? If they don't abort their baby, then grandmothers are raising the children. But the young folks are saying, listen, I got out messed up, but you gotta raise this mom, you gotta raise this dad. Or maybe the woman who had it, she's off on drugs somewhere, and the grandmother has to intervene to try to save the kid. I just talked to some dear folks that said, hey, our lives are, talked to them on the phone, had a wonderful conversation. They said our lives are just so different right now because we never expected to be raising our grandchildren. We thought they'd be coming over on the weekend every now and then, but no, now we are like raising. It's a whole different world for us. Investigate TV says for millions of grandparents across the country, their roles are changing. They find themselves not just a grandparent, but raising children again. Listen to this, about one third of kids in the US are being cared for by their grandparents. Not supplemental, they are the primary one third of the children right now. They're either aborting children, or they are giving them to mom and dad and saying, you raise them. Now, there's all kinds of reasons. And praise God that these kids are getting loving grandparents that will raise them and be dedicated to them, and in many cases, teach them about Jesus. That's better than killing them and aborting them. Some of these situations are necessary. But there is another reason, and that is sometimes just the young adult that had these children, or the teen that had these children, they're not ready to have children. They don't want the responsibility of it. And a big problem is their hearts are not toward their children. And I talk a lot about children turning their hearts to their fathers. And when Elijah and Moses come, the Bible says that Elijah's gonna preach and torment the world. And they're gonna say, why is everything falling apart? Why is everything being destroyed? Why are we having these earthquakes and hurricanes and chaos and we're dying and it's getting hotter and hotter? Why is all this happening? And Elijah's coming and he's gonna say, you better turn back to your fathers right now. You better obey and respect and honor your fathers or God's gonna curse this place. But that's not all Elijah's gonna say. Elijah's saying to the fathers, you better turn your hearts to your children. Now a lot of fathers might come out here and say, well, I'd like to marry you. You shouldn't have fornicated. But nevertheless, he's saying, I want to marry. I want to be a good father. But a lot of times, he's being denied the ability to even have contact with his children. So I'm not talking about this wicked family court situation and the whole feminist movement that keeps the father outside away from the children. There's wicked fathers, but there are some fathers that really want to see their children. They really want to raise them for God. Their hearts are toward their children. But there are many fathers that want nothing to do with children. They want nothing to do with them. They don't care how many they father across the land, however many women. They want nothing to do with it, see. You're supposed to have children when you're married. There's a reason God says that. It's for the children, too. And you're not supposed to get divorced without a cause, a godly cause that God agrees with. But I'm gonna just speak just a few minutes about another reason young people, young adults give children to grandparents is because they don't know how to raise them. I mean, you see some walking around with two children and you look at the young woman, she's in a frenzy. She's losing her mind. She is not happy with these kids. First of all, nobody's supporting her. Nobody's saying, hey, you're awesome, praise God, what you're doing, you know, and you can do this and follow God's ways. You know, sometimes I just say, hey, book of Proverbs, you know, I want you to go home and read it. Just forget what everybody tells you, just go home and read the book of Proverbs and think about it because you don't have rest. You're miserable right now. And kid, you shouldn't have this going on, see. It's not all that difficult. While they're little, when they first are able to talk and they're able to obey, you can get control of their will the first time. And I'm not talking about beat them with things and all kinds of, you don't have to do much. Just a little tap or something. And they know that they were naughty. And you say, go pick that up. They say, no. And then you just give them a little tap and say, go pick it up. and you might have to stay there a little while, but pretty soon, they finally obey you and then you hug them, you've got their will now. They might test you a few times later, but for the most part, they know when Mama says no, there's no second, third, fourth, fifth, ten, one hundred other chances. When Mama says no, the Bible says the rod and reprove. In other words, you did wrong. You don't say you did wrong, you did wrong, you did wrong, you did wrong. And so once you do this, You have rest, says the Bible. Children are a blessing. You can bring them places. You have this wonderful relationship with your children. Your children aren't ruling you. They're not ruling the family. They're not dominating the family and driving you and everybody else crazy. So because we've lost the very keys of how to raise children, people are saying, children are a curse. I can't do this. They're driving me crazy. Mom, you've got to raise my kids. And she might not have the energy she used to have at one time, even if she has the knowledge. So now you know the situation. Now let's look at the Bible prophecy, okay? 2 Timothy 3. This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves. So you can have selfish people. That's not gonna be good for kids, is it? Covetous. Boasters. Proud. Blasphemers. Disobedient to parents. Unthankful. Unholy. Now this is one we skip over many times. Without natural affection. It's not natural for a woman to go physically love another woman in abominable ways. That's not natural. That's affection that's wrong. You say, for a woman to fall in love with another woman in a romantic way, that's not natural. That's perverted, man. But that's not all natural affection means. Natural affection also means the affection and love that a mother and father should naturally have for their little one. I wanna be the one that sees him take his first walk. I don't wanna be off at some club somewhere. See, but they don't have natural affection. Don't you miss your children? Don't you wanna be around your children? No, I'd rather be up here at my place of business, being a secretary for somebody. I don't wanna go home and take care of children. That's not natural, man. Something's wrong with you. What did that to your mind? What could be more wonderful that to see these amazing things, oh, they just drive me crazy. Well, God has a remedy for that. They're not supposed to drive you crazy. They're supposed to give you rest, and you just gotta not make idols out of them. But without natural affection means, can you imagine the worst amount, I mean, I don't know if it's any worse than sodomy, but it's right up there with it equally. Can you imagine people killing their kids? And not even caring. Now what they used to say, the pagans, they would say, don't let her nurse it. Because if that baby starts nursing it, we're not going to be able to take that child for sacrifice. Because now, what happens is, that natural affection starts to kick in. It's like, no! And she starts screaming, so they have to rip the baby from her arms to sacrifice it. Now she's fighting, you know. So they were doing whatever they could to try to destroy natural affection. And the people that want to sacrifice your kids today, they're still doing whatever they can do to stop your natural affection. We gotta do something, we gotta give them trans drugs in the food supply so these girls don't wanna play with these so-called doll babies, you know, pretend to be mothers. We don't want that, that's natural. We wanna get rid of that, eradicate it in them. It says in Isaiah 49, can a woman forget her sucking child? Now that's a hard thing. It's a horrible thing for a mother to forget her child in the womb and take some horrible drug to kill it. But what about after the child's born and is nursing? Oh, it's very hard for a woman then. But is it possible that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? God says, yeah, it's possible. They may forget. It's not natural, but yet will I not forget thee. Isn't that wonderful? God's blessing to us, His mercy. He may discipline us, but you've got the righteousness of Christ, the blood of Jesus, God's unconditional promises He keeps, His love. But God says, can a woman forget her own nursing child? God says, yeah. She can. She can. Jeremiah saw it with his own eyes. Lamentations, which means the weepings, lamenting, crying, because he saw the judgment come upon Israel. And he says, even the sea monsters draw out the breast, and they give suck to their young ones. For the daughter of my people has become cruel like the ostriches in the wilderness. She don't even care about her young anymore. It's easy to be against the pro-life movement when you're not the one being killed. I saw that the other day. And I said, that needs to be repeated. Are you pro-life? No, no, I'm not pro-life. Yeah, that's pretty easy when you're not the one being killed. The same Bible that said in the last days perilous times will come, they'll be without natural affection, tells us in the book of Revelation that after the tribulation period starts, so we can expect it's already happening now, neither repented they of their murders. The number one thing God says for why all these curses are coming, called the great tribulation to this whole world, is that they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries. See, things become religious. Now we're gonna murder people but it's a religious sacrifice, it's sacred. Nor their fornication, nor their thefts. So God pretty much sums up what all of the world's gonna be doing. And the Bible says that he scorched them, that the sun began to scorch people with heat. And they actually knew it's coming from God, but instead of repenting before God, they blasphemed him. It says they blasphemed him because of the heat that they're being scorched with. Droughts everywhere. People say, but it's, quote, global warming. No, it's murder. It's murder. The curses that are coming to this world And in some ways, we're already seeing the stage setting signs for, it's because you're murdering. Who's being murdered? Babies are being murdered. Old people are being murdered through euthanasia and hospice. Sorcery, fornication, death. That's what the whole world is. People say it's a fetus. That means offspring. Matthew 1, now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wife, when as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together, it was a virgin birth. She was found with, God forbid, a blob? Tissue? She was found with what? Child, child. What was in Mary's belly? Her womb, a child. And all throughout the Bible, it says this. All throughout the Bible, it says a woman is walking around with a child inside of her when she's pregnant. Ecclesiastes, way back in the Old Testament, Ecclesiastes 11, as thou knowest not what is the way of the Spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child. It's above our knowledge, but life is in that line. People say, well, I have a right to do whatever I want with my own body, but not the body of your child. And I don't know where you get the idea you can do whatever you want with your body. We have a creator. We have a God. You need to do what God says to do with your body. And one thing God made sure to tell you all throughout the Bible is don't you dare kill the child that is now in your body. Nathan Davis in Carthage and her remains in 1861, just read through a little bit of this for you. We have to notice more particularly the horrible rite connected with this temple and with the Phoenician religion. They took the Canaanite religion and they came to North Africa and they became the Carthenian Jews. The religion of the Carthaginians was, strictly speaking, an astronomical religion. What happens when people start messing around with stars and letting the stars guide them? You start killing babies soon. Okay? These people start getting into this new age star stuff. Everything's a star. Everything's some sign. Stars are... Well, then you're going to start murdering people. Wherever we see astrology, you start seeing murder. You start seeing pagan people killing their babies and other people as a sacrifice. The Temple of Saturn, that's just another name for Moloch, is memorable for the cruel and inhuman practices which under the guise of religion were perpetrated within its precincts. So they fled and they came from the Canaanite region to North Africa and the Carthaginians were known for child sacrifice. Carthage was founded in the ninth century before Christ. If you go to Carthage now, the tour guides will take you around and you'll see all these places where there's just these dead babies were buried or were just, you know, you could tell that they were babies. And they'll say, well, don't listen to what they tell you. This wasn't because of child sacrifice. See, they want to sugarcoat everything. You can go to biblicalarchaeology.org and read some articles about what happened in Carthage. And this fellow right here is gonna talk about it. He talks about one. Ryder informs us that Saturn killed his father Uranus, murdered several of his own children, and emulated an only son and then sacrificed as a burnt offering to check a dreadful plague which reigns throughout the country. So follow me just for a little while here. We'll be almost done here. I wanna show you something. The gods that they worshiped, this Saturn or Moloch, they claim he killed his own children. And they followed this God, and here's what they believed. That if you want to stop a horrible plague, you've got to burn your children in a sacrifice. And then they'll be appeased. This is what the Mayans and the Aztecs believed. That society's gonna be cursed unless we offer blood sacrifice. In a sense, that's what they believe today. They say, we can't outlaw abortion. You say, why can't you outlaw baby killing? They say, because we'll be cursed. And they'll tell you all these things are gonna happen to the world because the world population and all of these things because of the environment and the worship of Mother Earth. And they basically say, we'll be plagued. We'll be plagued by the gods. You mean Mother Earth, right? So we're gonna be plagued if we don't kill our children. So it becomes a religion. It becomes a religion under the guise of religion. To stop the dreadful plagues, we have to kill our children. They tell you today abortion is how we save society from ruin. It's actually how you end up cursed. See the difference? They're doing the very thing that God says, now I'm gonna curse you. Like I have everybody throughout history that fell into this. That's the last thing you should be doing. But the devil convinces them, that's what you gotta do. For population control, you gotta be a homosexual. You've gotta kill your kids if you accidentally have them. This cruel and inhuman right, sacrificing your children, made the Carthaginians, to a great extent, obnoxious to foreign nations. and some use their utmost endeavors to put a stop to the horrible practice. Centuries before the Lord Jesus, Darius sent ambassadors to Carthage with an edict by which the Carthaginians were deceased to offer human sacrifices and they were to leave off the eatings of dogs' flesh. So the nations of Persia said, you've got to stop this. We're telling you right now, quit sacrificing your children and quit eating dogs. See, there's some things you say, where does it say that in the Bible? There's some things you should know. The Bible says you should know by nature that a man shouldn't have long hair and a woman ought to have long hair. Paul says, it's not nature teach you that. Don't you know that in your own conscience? Don't you know it in your own conscience that a man shouldn't wear woman's clothes and a woman shouldn't wear man's clothes? Don't you know it in your own conscience that a man should not lie with a man and a woman with a woman? And even the Persians with no Bible can say, don't you know you shouldn't be eating a dog? God talked about what was clean for food and unclean in the days of Noah before the Mosaic Law ever came. And to prove it, you could go to a person right now, most people in the world, and say, I've got a rat right here. You want us to boil it and eat it? And they say, no, no, I don't want to do that. So you see, you have a little bit of nature still left in them. But what happens is it begins to disappear. And if you see somebody around you doing it, and they do it, and they do it, and they do it, pretty soon you lose that natural light against the practice. It's called a nation being turned over to reprobate minds. The practice had such a hold upon them and was so intimately connected with the national religion, they're trying to make abortion a national religion right now. This is my point. That every effort made to abolish it proved unsuccessful. Indeed, so tenacious were the priests of Saturn, and don't you think they don't have their priests? They have their witches and priests that are going around. They sometimes are politicians, sometimes they're in the medical system. But sometimes they're just these new age leaders and these feminists. They have their priests. perpetuating this horrible kind of sacrifice, and that even during the Roman sway, that notwithstanding imperial edicts abolishing the saint, they persisted in continuing it, in spite of fines and numerous other threats. The Romans, at first, were practicing sacrifice, and then they, at least on paper, turned against it, and they were grossed out by the other pagans that were doing it, like the Druids and these, city of Carthage, the land of Carthage. And they were very inconsistent. Sometimes they would fall into it. And we know they certainly killed millions of Christians in their theaters and things. So they were hypocritical and inconsistent. But at least on paper, they said, that's sick, you shouldn't be doing that. You see? They had that light of conscience. But no matter what they did, They couldn't stop these people because it was their religion. They believe we're gonna be cursed. We're gonna be cursed if we don't offer up our children. During the time of plague, we are informed by Justin. That was after the time of Jesus, I believe. I think he's talking about Justin Martyr. They used as a remedy a bloody piece of religion and a horrid abomination. The practice of sacrificing human victims continued even during the period when paganism was struggling with Christianity. So it's Christianity that came and began to put a check to this wickedness. But all you have to do is have them have another plague. And they said, we gotta go do it, we gotta kill our kids, we gotta do it, we're being cursed. Tiberius. in Rome, and his attempts to abolish it went so far as to order his soldiers to hang the priest on the trees of the grove attached to his temple. But this severity did not even put an end to the monstrous practice, which was continued. Tertullian tells us, in the place cited below, in Occulto, secret. Tertullian says they're doing it in the occult. They're still sacrificing him. Even though it's against the Roman law, they're still doing it in secret. They're still killing their kids to Moloch, to Saturn. They tell you, if you outlaw abortion, we're still gonna do that. Oh, I don't doubt that at all. You probably are so sick and vile that you'll go kill him anyway. So what everybody says is, well, we might as well give them a safe place to kill them. You're a lunatic, man. You're devil-possessed to be that stupid. The child was placed before the idol and a fire made under it till it became red hot. Then the priest took the child and put him into the glowing hands of Molech. But lest the parents should hear his cries, they beat drums to drown the noise. Therefore, the place was called Tophet, as we've already seen earlier. Bel-Hammam, or Malek, had his prophets as well as his priests. We learn from the scriptures that Jezebel alone supported no less than 450. Human victims were only periodically offered to him. A doctor in 1862, I believe in England, called William Burke Ryan, wrote a book called Infanticide. Infanticide is not looked upon in the same light as other murders by the public generally. He's sounding the alarm. He's saying, what in the world's going on now in 1862? While formerly the law was severe, even to the extreme of injustice, in other words, they weren't giving due process to the mother, they'd say, we think you killed your kid, we're gonna kill you. And sometimes some mothers that really didn't kill their kid were being killed. So you need to give due process. But then they went to the other extreme. The mother says, oh, well, it just accidentally died when really she killed it. And so he's like, what's happening here? Already in 1862, we're allowing women to kill their babies with no accountability? It's a mockery of justice, he says. The Morning Chronicle, a newspaper, says the natural instinctive horror of blood, the reverential sense of the sacredness of human life, seems to be becoming extinct among the humbler classes. So you'll always see about 100 years before it comes out into the open, it's already generating behind the scenes. The devil's preparing people for it. How, Tertullian exclaims, back in the early centuries, can the Christians be charged with homicide, who would be horror struck, not only to take away the life of an infant, but even to prevent its being born or to expose its life to danger. It is with you this disorder is common. So Tertullian, representing the Christians, says, we're not killing our babies. We won't kill it in the womb. And you're saying we would kill one outside the womb. Y'all are the ones that do this. This is pagans that do this stuff. Not us. What was happening at this time is a type of insurance. They began to give insurance. Burial insurance. And there are actually some wicked people that would go collect this barrel insurance and have children just to go collect the insurance. And we could say, would anybody really do that? You better believe it, man. They'll kill their kids for money. Love of money is the root of all evil. You ought to see how many kill grandpa or grandma or something just to get money, buddy. Aristotle says it was It's not wrong to kill a baby in the womb. That's these Greeks, you know. Kamala Harris the other day, she was at a rally. And she began to talk about how wonderful abortion is. Because she's a priestess of abortion. She's a priestess of Moloch, Satan, Baal, the transgender God. And somebody in the audience said, Jesus is Lord! And she says, oh, you guys are at the wrong rally. And that's not good. There's a party that's become the party of death, openly, blatantly. The Aztecs and Mayans, they said, to maintain the moral order of the universe, we have to have sacrifices. In left-wing thought, abortion is sacred. You don't believe me? This is from plannedparenthood.org. Somebody who calls herself Ray Guerrero Lorenzo, who is a queer parent of two. She calls itself they. She's a they. And she probably is a they. She probably has a devil. Here's what she says on Planned Parenthood's website. And they put it out there in the open. Abortion is what? Sacred? Sacred? That means religious? Abortion is sacred? And the Supreme Court can't take that away from us. Our reproductive health, including abortion care, is sacred. And then she adds, our children in this realm are sacred. I think maybe scared. So they believe their children are sacred. But she just said abortion's sacred. No one should be forced to stay pregnant if they don't want to, so they can kill their sacred children. She said, oh yeah. Just as my children and yours are sacred, so is our decision to have an abortion. This is getting creepy, man. We really have went back to paganism. They're now not just saying, I want to kill. They're saying, this is a sacred right. This is my religion. Okay. The satanic temple came out not long ago. And they say, abortion is our right to our satanic religion. It's a sacred part of our religion. Crawley, the Satanist that do as thou wilt is the whole of the law. So they believe the woman prohibited from killing her unborn is being denied her right, a sacred act of sacrifice to bring the modern world into alignment with the cosmos. They'll wear t-shirts that say proud abortion of their so-called sacred right. Reddit has a post, abortion is sacred. And they list all the past gods of these Canaanites. And they say, look at all these goddesses of abortion. This is sacred. This is a religion. This is our pagan, sacred religion. All the gods, Diana and all these Canaanite goddesses, they all believed in abortion. See, this is our religion. Pelosi, in defending the supposed right for late-term abortion, late-term, says as a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me, to be able to kill your baby, even nine months pregnant. John Fetterman, let's be clear, The right to an abortion is sacred. This is religion, man. Canaanite religion. But it's religion. Child sacrifice is religion. Naomi Wolf argued that abortion must be framed in the context of moral, sacred sacrifice. She said, you've got to start speaking of abortion as a sacred right. This is a sacred sacrifice. Catholics for choice say I believe that abortion is sacred. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby called paying for abortions a foundational sacred obligation of military leaders. You've got a university. Their saying or motto was abortion access is love. The Bible says God is love. They say abortion access is love. It's sacred. There was a time when Jeremiah tried to tell the women of Israel to quit worshiping the queen of heaven because God was gonna judge them. And the women gathered together and they said, our men have given us permission to do this. And Jeremiah still told them they're in a lot of trouble. And they argued with Jeremiah. And they said, when we worship the queen of heaven and obey her, we're blessed. But anytime we stop making cakes to her, we start having plagues and we get cursed. You see the superstition? No, you're deluded. You kill your babies and commit these abominations that the Egyptians and the Canaanites did, that America is falling for right now, you can say goodbye to the future of this nation. Your mind has been taken over by devils. Dear Lord, when you pray, we will turn fully to you. And anybody hearing this message, Lord, even if they're scorning it, even if they're listening just out of curiosity, God, I pray, Lord, that they would surrender to you. I pray that they would repent of their unbelief and they would turn to you, the only true God. And they would understand that you sent your son. You yourself became a man to die on the cross and shed your blood as a man to pay for our sins. And Lord, you did that for your love for us, that we might be eternally saved. And God, now you give us your ways that you want us to live, to love you with all our heart, strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves and as you have loved us. And that includes the children, and the children in the womb. Help us be willing to live for you, Lord. Even though you said in the last days there'll be false accusers, despisers of those that are good, without natural affection, murderers, But you told us all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. And if we suffer, we shall reign. When we're lied about and persecuted, that we ought to leap for joy, knowing the treasure we have in heaven from you. Let us be your witnesses and not fear man. Let us call many from this revival of ancient paganism and its horrors. and the judgments that it's gonna bring to this whole world. Please don't let this wicked proposition, this wicked amendment, this pagan, satanic, godless amendment pass, Lord. Please preserve our state. and let it grow to even be more godly in its laws and ways. In Jesus' name, Amen.
