ABORTION, BAAL WORSHIP, AND BREAST CANCER
Had an abortion, or know someone who has? This hot topic comes at us, in
the media, from every angle. But how many of those who've gone through
this process know of God's deep, strong love for them? Did you know, as a
Father loves his children, His laws are designed to protect you? Did you
know that while He weeps at the death of every little one, His arms are
stretched out toward those who come to the Cross and ask for His
forgiveness?
In 1993 Joel Brind presented his thesis, "Induced Abortion as an
Independent Risk Factor for Breast Cancer," at the Association of
Interdisciplinary Research in Values and Social Change held in Milwaukee,
WI.
Among his findings:
* There is an 800% increase in breast cancer for women less than 18 years
old who have an abortion after the eighth week of pregnancy.
* On average there is an 80% increase in breast cancer if the woman has an
abortion before a live birth.
* Risk of breast cancer increases with the number of abortions.
* Women who have an abortion before a live birth and develop breast cancer
have a greater possibility of having a faster growing tumor with a poorer
cure rate than women who have not had an abortion.
Following Brind's report over 20 peer-reviewed medical studies presented
similar findings indicating a possible increase in the risk of breast
cancer following a forced abortion. One such report claimed a woman's
chance of developing breast cancer doubles after an abortion. Cervical
damage and sterility have also been connected to forced abortion.
While such studies point out the delicate balance God has placed between
creation and the observance of biblical law, the risk of disease should
not be viewed as a personal judgment from God. The fact that one increases
the chance of individual harm through unbiblical activity only proves that
God's laws were intended for our spiritual and physical protection. God
loves each one of us and it hurts Him when women who take the life of
their child through forced abortion, risk premature death. Jesus invites
everyone to live in accordance with His Word, which is "health to thy
navel, and marrow to thy bones" (Proverbs 3:7-8).
What power seeks the destruction of adults and children?
DEMONIC ROOTS OF ABORTION
Abortion on demand is the demonic Baal worship of modern times. King Ahab
and Queen Jezebel led the Israelites in Baal worship and the sacrifice of
children in the Old Testament. Ahaz went so far as to burn "his son as an
offering" to Baal/Moloch, as did Manasseh (see 2 Kings 16:3; 21:6). Why
would people make such terrible decisions? It was believed that human
sacrifice to Baal held the key to prosperity. Therefore, people desiring
to live in prosperity and ease brought their firstborn child to the high
priest, where scholars say the child would be offered as a burnt offering
to the deity.
The altar of Baal was in the image of a bull with the head and shoulders
of a man. Its arms extended outward and fire belched out from a hole in
the chest. The priest of Baal placed the babies on the outstretched arms,
where the child would be rolled into the fire. As the child died, the
priest and priestess engaged in sexual intercourse, while an orgy occurred
among the onlookers.
Recently, archaeologists unearthed a Baal cemetery containing the remains
of more than twenty thousand children. The Greek author Kleitarchos
described the practice of sacrificing infants to Baal three hundred years
before Christ:
"Out of reverence for Kronos [Baal], the Phoenicians, and especially the
Carthaginians, whenever they seek to obtain some great favor, vow one of
their children, burning it as a sacrifice to the deity, if they are
especially eager to gain success. There stands in their midst a bronze
statue of Kronos, its hands extended over a bronze brazier, the flames of
which engulf the child. When the flames fall on the body, the limbs
contract and the open mouth seems almost to be laughing, until the
contracted body slips quietly into the brazier."
Ancients were led by Satan to kill their children for personal convenience
and gain, while engaging in promiscuity. Modern Baal worshipers—a.k.a.
abortionists—slaughter millions of unborn babies every year for the same
reasons. Do such abortionists care for the welfare of the mother? Do they
warn of the increased risk of cancer? Absolutely not.
BLOOD MONEY
In 1973 abortion on demand became legal with the landmark Roe vs. Wade
decision. Abortion clinics immediately sprung up across the United States,
fostering a blood-money industry capable of producing annual revenues in
the tens of millions. One clinic employee admitted recently that she made
an average of thirteen thousand dollars per month based on a commission of
twenty-five dollars per abortion. She compared her job responsibilities to
a phone-in boiler room, where each employee sat at a booth answering
calls. When a distraught young lady called in, a sales script was read
that had been designed to overcome any obstacle that stood in the way of
an abortion. The caller was encouraged to come in for "counseling," and to
bring the payment for the abortion with her. Once the abortion was
performed, the saleswoman received a twenty-five dollar commission. The
idea is simple. Used car salesmen and con artists have employed the same
system for years.
A GIFT FROM GOD
But the Bible makes it clear that every child is a gift from God. A
surprising discovery recently revealed that the Biblical feasts parallel
the gestation period of a baby. It seems, once again, the Almighty hid
within His Word proof of divine inspiration and a token of His love for
children.
FEASTS: In Exodus chapter 12 we find the Passover feast instituted. It was
to begin on the fourteenth day of the first month and repeat each year
thereafter. During Passover the Jews place an egg, symbolizing new life,
on the Passover table.
MEDICAL FACT: On the fourteenth day of the first month the mothers egg
appears.
FEASTS: The feast of Unleavened Bread must occur the very next night, on
the 15th day of the month, or the feast process will fail.
MEDICAL FACT: Fertilization of the egg must occur within 24 hours or the
fertilization process will fail.
FEASTS: The feast of Firstfruits occurs next, on the Sunday during the
week of Unleavened Bread. It can be from 2-6 days after the feast of
Unleavened Bread and is called the Spring Planting of Seed.
MEDICAL FACT: The fertilized egg travels down the tube at its own pace
taking anywhere from 2-6 days before it implants. This is the Planting of
the Egg.
FEASTS: Pentecost comes 50 days later and, in evangelical circles,
celebrates the forming of the Church by the Holy Spirit.
MEDICAL FACT: On the fiftieth day the embryo begins to form into a human
fetus.
FEASTS: The Day of Atonement is celebrated on the tenth day of the seventh
month. Blood is taken into the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle. If God
accepts the blood, sins will be forgiven. If the blood is rejected we are
dead in our sins.
MEDICAL FACT: On the tenth day of the seventh month the baby begins to
form and use blood. If his body accepts the blood he will live, if not he
dies.
FEASTS: The Feast of Tabernacles follows on the 15th day of the seventh
month. Jews celebrate God breathing the breath of life into Adam.
MEDICAL FACT: By the 15th day of the seventh month the child has two
healthy lungs. He or she is a finished "tabernacle" and can be born.
However, to achieve maximum strength the child should continue to grow
inside its mother for another 80 days. It can thereafter be born and
dedicated to the Lord.
FEASTS: 80 days later is the feast of DEDICATION!
GOD LOVES AND FORGIVES
Yes, the Bible reveals God's great love for children. It also reveals how
much He loves those deceived by the abortion propaganda machine. He loves
them so much that He gave His only begotten Son to offer complete healing
and restoration from the trauma of abortion through the healing power and
blood of Jesus Christ.
Like the abortionist, Saul was a murderer and a sworn enemy of Jesus
Christ. God's grace saved and changed him into the Apostle Paul. He later
wrote:
"For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an
apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I
am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain…"
(1Cor. 15:9-10).
What a wonderful privilege it is to be forgiven. To be able to say, "by
the grace of God I am what I am."
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Heb. 4:16).
If you've had an abortion, God extends His loving hands toward you saying,
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).
