Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 30

Hands That Shed Innocent Blood:

.

“God’s Providence in the Womb”

.

“Then the word of the LORD

***came unto me,* *saying,***

Before I formed thee in the belly

I knew thee;

and before thou camest forth

out of the womb I sanctified thee…”

Jeremiah 1:4, 5

.

This above passage from Jeremiah presents a great truth regarding God’s providence in a mother’s womb. A conceived baby is not merely an act of nature.

.

No, but rather, the Bible reveals this… “Then the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee…” Jeremiah 1:4, 5

This above passage should strike fear in the hearts of all those who insist that a conceived baby in the mother’s womb is merely a “hunk of flesh”. This above passage reveals just the opposite! It reveals that it is God who forms the child in its mother’s womb!

“(God) Thou hast covered me (or, “joined me together”) in my mother’s womb”

Psalm 139:13

.

Listen to this next passage as David praises God for creating him…

.

“For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me (or, “joined me together”) in my mother’s womb. I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.” Psalm 139:13-15

.

Here in very cryptic language, God is revealing to us, His complete control over His creations, even while in their mother’s womb!

“for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”

Romans 14:10

.

And all those loud voices who are currently promoting abortion in our society should carefully consider, that on Judgment Day, they must give account for what they compelled many millions of women to do.

THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION

.

Nevertheless, for those who have already committed this heinous sin against God, there is hope! Yes, even the great Apostle, Paul, was guilty of murder, prior to his conversion.

.

And God forgave him, as He converted Paul into a “born again” experience.

.

And King David was likewise a murder, and yet, God forgave him as well, because he was a true child of God.

.

And so, those who have committed the grievous sin of killing that life in their womb, can come to Jesus and plead for His forgiveness, just like David (and Paul also) did. (read Psalm 51).

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Rev. 12:3

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars. The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
