that is injustice, evil. And I will say to you this morning that all the blood of the prophets, from Abel to Zechariah to the

00:12

Apostles, is only a drop in the bucket compared to the bloodshed that has come from this nation since 1973.

00:23

There is an injustice in our land that began in Roe vs.

00:30

Wade 1973 when abortion was made legal and babies are killed here now to the level of 60 million since that time.

00:41

Since I've been preaching today, if I preach a standard -length message, a hundred babies will have died while I stood here in our land.

00:51

Every one of them as valuable as Zechariah and Abel and all the prophets.

00:58

And I will confess right now that I have not confronted this evil as loudly as I should, the way

01:06

Jesus does. I'll post things on Facebook, I'll send in red envelopes, and I'll go to certain events from time to time, but when

01:14

I think the injustice that is abortion in this nation, I have been far too silent for far too long.

01:24

Babies are murdered. And you say, well, how do we know that these are human lives in the womb and not just tissue?

01:32

Well, as Christians, we know. The Scriptures teach us that in Psalm 139, that God knits together a human in the womb.

01:40

And we see in the law that if two men are fighting and one of the men hits the other man and he falls against a pregnant woman and the baby comes out and dies, the death of that child from the womb is counted as murder.

01:55

Life for life. It's one of the 17 cases of capital punishment in Israel. That baby is considered a life in the womb according to the law of God.

02:04

And we know that John the Baptist, when he was in the womb, yet unformed in his thinking, when

02:09

Jesus was in the womb of Mary and came into the same room, John let for joy.

02:14

He was a person, a living person. Now the world might not know this because they don't accept revelation, but this revelation comes from God.

02:23

And so we know that the life begins at conception. And what's happening in our country is murder.

02:32

And I think it's time for another King or Wilberforce or Calvin.

02:40

People who have stood up against injustice in times past. Maybe it's all of us.

02:47

William Wilberforce, when slavery was allowed in England, stood up like a prophet and proclaimed year after year until finally it fell.

02:58

Fell later in America, Abraham Lincoln, and a war was fought. When there are injustices like this, it is not acceptable to tolerate evil and say, we'll wait for another day.

03:12

That's not how Jesus approached evil. He confronted injustice.

03:18

He spoke up against injustice. And so in our day, that is one great evil.

03:25

And there's many evils in our world, but that is one where the blood of babies calls out from the ground like Abel's blood did.
