Bloodguilt
April 10, 2005. When Adolf Hitler's National Socialist (NAZI) party carted off and murdered handicap people and Jews, my German ancestors did nothing to stop it that I am aware of. They and other Christians chose not to intervene when innocent people were being slaughtered. As Jews cried out in terror as they were horded into box cars, Christians did not listen but rather shut the windows in their churches and sang their hymns louder than usual so that they could not hear the wailing of innocent people being taken away to the slaughter. Christians did not resist evil, and their lack of obedience to Yah's Word implicitly encouraged the Oppressor, which at that time, took the form of German leadership, Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist party.
Yah's ears were not closed to this suffering. He poured out His righteous judgment, which came in the form of American forces. American bombs decimated the German nation. Christians in Germany were not spared from this judgment. Why? Because their apathy to the suffering of innocent people made them as guilty as if they had turned the nozzles on the gas chambers themselves.
Today there are so-called Christians who believe that the Jewish nation got what it deserved because of its role in Jesus' death. In tones bordering on extreme prejudice, such Christians even claim that the only reason that "God" gave us the Old Testament is to show us "how stupid the Jews are." I will not, in this article, attempt to refute this blindly arrogant hatred and stridently ardent stupidity except to point out that to reject the Hebrew people is to reject the Hebrew Elohim of Israel and the Hebrew Messiah who died as an atonement for their sins. Yah said to Abram, out of whom the Hewbrew nation arose, in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
Today, many Christians who say that they are opposed to abortion also claim that they are not guilty of murder because they have never had an abortion nor have they murdered anybody. These Christians claim that abortion is not their problem and that it is not their responsibility. This attitude reveals a detrimental ignorance of Yah's recorded Word. They feel this way in their hearts, but we know that we will not be our own judges. Yah will judge us, and He has already given us the criteria by which we will be judged, which is explained in the Holy Bible. Furthermore, the book of Proverbs tells us, "...there is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 16:25). Just because we feel it is right does not make it right. Only Yah determines what is right.
So, what does Yah's Word say about who is guilty of murder?
An objective study of Yah's Word forces us to conclude that Yah does not excuse murder, which is killing an innocent person. Yah holds the murderer responsible for the murder and commands the people to bring the murderer to justice by putting the murderer to death. If the people do not put the murderer to death, Yah holds all the people responsible for the murder.
Numbers 35: 30-34 tells us, "Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die. Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I יהוה dwell among the children of Israel."
Abortion is murder, and the people must put murderers to death, according to Yah's Word. Blood from abortion defiles our land. Our land cannot be cleansed from the guilt of this innocent blood until the people of the land bring the murderers to justice. Only the blood of the murderer can cleanse the land from innocent blood.
Deuteronomy 19:9-13 reads, "If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love יהוה thy Elohim, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three: That innocent blood be not shed in the land, which יהוה thy Elohim giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities: Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee."
If we, as a nation, will keep Yah's commandments, love יהוה our Elohim and always walk in His ways, then innocent blood will not be shed in our land and the guilt will not be upon all of us. Abortion will not happen. If we keep innocent blood from being shed in our nation, it will go well with us.
Deuteronomy 21: 1-9 reads, "If one be found slain in the land which יהוה thy Elohim giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him: Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley: And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them יהוה thy Elohim hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of יהוה; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried: And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. Be merciful, O יהוה, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them. So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of יהוה."
If a person is murdered, and remember that abortion is murder, then Yah demands atonement for that blood. The blood is atoned for only by the blood of the murderer. If the people do not know who committed the murder, then they must offer atonement before Yah so that Yah will not hold the whole nation responsible for the innocent blood that was shed.
Today, we the people know who is guilty of murdering innocent children. However, because we the people have not demanded justice in the form of the blood of the murderers, we all bear the guilt of the blood of those baby boys and girls.
That is right. We are ALL GUILTY according to Yah's Word.
How are we to be exonerated from the guilt?
We must believe in our Savior Yahushua Messiah.
If we truly believe in Him, then we will obey Him (Luke 6:46).
What has Yahushua commanded us to do?
- We must not even call Him our master unless we do what He commands us to do. Do not tarnish the title Christian by calling yourself one unless you do what Christ commands. In Luke 6:46, Christ said, "why call ye me Lord Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
- Bring justice to our land by demanding the lives of the murderers (Numbers 35: 30-34). Who is responsible for executing justice? The government. Who is responsible for choosing a righteous, Yah-fearing government? We, the people.
- Plead on behalf of those going to the slaughter. If we do not, then Yah will hold us guilty of their blood. Proverbs 24:11-12 says, "If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?" We all have an opportunity today to deliver them that are to be slain at the local abortion clinics by preaching Yah's Word
- Assist these pre-born children, the least of His, knowing that we are actually assisting Christ Himself (Matthew 25:31-46). If you knew that Christ, your Savior, was going to be aborted, wouldn't you plead on His behalf?
The cries of 47 million murdered children are calling up to Heaven and resonating in Yah's ears. How long will Yah endure this before He pours out His righteous judgment? Are you certain that Yah will spare you from this wrath despite the fact that you have done nothing for the least of His?
Even if no one person can correct this problem, Yahushua Messiah can solve the problem if His people will simply have faith in Him obey His Word.
Are you certain that you can stand before Almighty יהוה on the day of judgment an honestly claim that you have done all that Yah commands you to do for these children? We need not do everything. We merely need to do what Yah commands.
Just yesterday, 2 babies were saved from death at the child-murder center at 700 East Hebron in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Praise Yah!!
Preaching Yah's Word is fruitful. Yah's Word is powerful! It is powerful enough to change the hearts of those bent on murder.
Sadly, there are so-called Christians who do not truly believe in the power of preaching Yah's Word, especially at abortion clinics. However, these people condemn themselves, for it is written in 1 Corinthians 1:17-18, "Christ sent me ... to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the torture-stake is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of Yah." Those that believe that the preaching of the cross is foolishness are those who will perish. "The Word of יהוה is quick and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword" (Hebrews 4:12).
Repent and be spared from the guilt of murder. Bear fruit for the Savior. Save a child from death. Preach Yah's Word at your local abortion center today. The rewards are tremendous and eternal.
