EACH ONE
d. severy copyright 2005
Each one a mystery, a labyrinth untold.
Steeped now in secrecy, but ready to unfold.
No man knows, save He who rose:
What tale will be told, o let my people go.
Perfection went away, leaving us to groan.
Blood poured upon the earth, o how man does roam.
Far from the Way he knew, far from the Way of Truth;
O the tales been told, o let my people go.
Though hid from pedant’s* eye, each one is foreknown;
Destined to live and die, then no more to roam.
ut not short their destiny, they for life were meant to be
Tales to be told, o let my people go.
Small though their bodies are, each one has great worth.
With silent cries they cross the bar, denied their first birth.
Ushered into Holy Light, before the Father and the Christ,
There to tell the tale, yet no more to weep or wail,
Lest they weep o for thee, o let my people go.
It’s we who should weep and wail,
we who must tell the tale,
Crimes yet undone should not prevail,
this must be the goal.
Warn now, I warn you well,
your soul may be bound for hell,
It’s murder and must be told,
o let my people go.
*pedant: in this case, one who is unimaginative or
who unduly emphasizes minutiae in the presentation or use of knowledge

OUR POSTERIRY
July 25, 2005
To America’s Editors
AND TO ALL LITTLE LAMBS EVERYWHERE
OUR POSTERITY
The preamble to the Constitution, states:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
To overlook the purpose of the Constitution regarding the generations to come, that is: “our posterity” - is to fail to see the clear and definitive basis for the securing and protecting the pre-born fetus’s opportunity for the blessings of liberty : those same blessings which we heartily enjoy and have defended with the lives of our citizenry time and time again. With out the birth of the fetus: Latin: (meaning) little one, there would be no national posterity at all.
The bitter war fought to Gain our freedoms was, without doubt, fought for many reasons. The list of grievances outlined in the Declaration of Independence is long with many issues of oppression from the British Crown. I fear those who wrote them had reached the limit of their tolerance for their predicted fate written by Paul, the Apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ, to Timothy (2 Tim. Ch 3:12-13):
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
It is said that some persons chose to return to England rather than disobey the King’s laws, for they were not impositions on their faith, but on their pocketbooks and property. Having said this I make the following observations.
1. Though born in of a bitter bloody conflict, the nations “fathers” did exercise no small faith in the God of heaven in writing the Constitution of the United States.
2. We cannot go back to change the motives or result of the efforts of those men in that day.
3. It seems imperative that we now go on to prove not their political wisdom or correctness, but to prove the Wisdom of the God they sought and did honor in their works, and prove His Absolute correctness in all things.
God is forgiving of men’s impatience in Christian persecutions, and of the sinful motives that culture that impatience. We, the people, seem to have less and less power to guide what our founders then set in motion. Yet now, in this our day, we must need only repent and seek the good and perfect will of God regarding proper Christian response to persecutions from our Government.
There are always “grievances” we can muster in this life. For Christians, few rise to the level required to approve civil disobedience, let alone war. The apostles absolutely delighted that they were persecuted in the same, though lesser degree, as their Savior. But they did not go to war. They simply ignored the edict of the Jewish rulers of the Sanhedrin, that they cease to teach and preach on the name of Jesus. Is it so, as in their case, that only the silencing of the Gospel of God warrants such a response? Are their other worthy grievances for which we may disobey the directives of our governors?
For this man, the gross injustice of abortion does rise to this level. Why? I submit the following reasons:
1. Abortion places a higher value on life for the born that for those who are to be born. God has no respect of persons. Christians are not to show favoritism. It follows that they should not at all tolerate a sin that so egregiously opposes God’s Way of love for all men.
2. Abortion also endangers the life and limb of Christian parents own daughters, who in some states may have the baby aborted without parental notification or consent!
3. Abortion promotes a culture of immorality as it relieves the (joyous) burden of rearing children, allowing for the parents, both married and unmarried to pursue sexual and financial pleasures outside of God’s will. The pursuit of these brings more “unwanted” children in the form of fetuses, and more abortions. But these souls are not unwanted by God, who has the power AND the Authority to slay the parents or make barren the womb. Yet it seems that God has permitted other calamities to unfold against us and our neighbors.
Our preference for our own things, our own conveniences and our own pleasures above and before the future of the unborn child is greed and idolatry. And the consequences will not be agreeable to the spirit of idolaters. They will be bitter as they have always been.
Twenty five percent of our posterity has been slaughtered for 32 years, 1973 to the present day. The economic calamities have been literally untold. We suffer the loss of economy generated by the needs of children for food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and education. We suffer the loss of 40,000,000 taxpayers: Federal, State, Local, AND Social Security Payroll Taxes. American jobs go unfilled by native born citizens, as we are outsource jobs abroad, and import legal and illegal laborers to fill them. Legal and illegal workers export our currency enriching our friends, enemies and competitors. We educate thousands of foreign citizens each year, many of whom take their education home to their native nations who compete with us economically. Ten years after Roe v Wade was decided, the nation began it’s slide into debt which has not stopped yet. The war in Iraq, which itself may be a judgment of God is thrusting our debt to foreign nations ever higher. God raises up one nation against another, and perhaps to correct both. But would not all right thinking people prefer that God not use their nation in this way? Recently China has bid to purchase a U.S. oil company, causing alarm in our Congress but no surprise from this man. Sin is a reproach to any nation. Our immorality has and will continue to weaken us in ways that even the pragmatic atheist ought to understand.
It is often said that our greatest “resource” is our people, and that children are our future. I cannot at all understand why the blessings our posterity will be to us, are refused and summarily dispatched by human will back to the dust from which they came. It is the saddest crime, having demonic origins which have incorrectly persuaded many lifeless souls of the “impossibility of any thing good coming from these children.” It is sadder too, considering the self-justification necessary to persuade one of abortion’s correctness, and the great psychological (soulish) harm the parents must endure should they come to their senses and see their sin. To realize one’s guilt of the murder of their son or daughter is a heavy burden indeed. And sadder still again, God must and will punish unrepentant sinners with the second death, which is nothing less that an eternal sentence to hell.
Yet perhaps the saddest of all is the silence of so many, who ignoring abounding opportunity, could raise their voices,- by pen, or in the street, even on talk radio, and by email/fax,- and cry aloud, decrying the SIN of Abortion, so like the sin of the idolaters of ancient Israel, whom God rebuked, saying, from Jeremiah Ch. 35
30For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
31For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
35And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
WE NEED BOLDNESS TO CONFRONT THIS PERNICIUOS EVIL HEAD ON SEEING THE DESTRUCTION OF THE HUMAN BODIES, BODIES MEANT TO BE THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
We need not fear what man thinks of us. We may set our face like flint and tell the truth.
Isaiah 50:7
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
Paul warned the Corinthian church, rebuking their carnality:
1 Corinthians 3:
16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
How sobering this surely is, that God will DESTROY them that destroy His living temples.
I am compelled to proclaim that abortion is a sin, a greviuos sin that God hates as he hates “feet swift to shed innocent blood.” Proverbs 6:16-19
I do not approve the murder any man, be he an abortionist, or yet in the womb. So I ask myself: What sort of civil disobedience would be an effective protest in defense of the little ones, and to prevent "legal" approbation of abortion? Some possibilities: 1. Disregard for the laws preventing the blocking of abortuaries, resulting in jail. This burdens the state financially and places the believer in a setting where he/she may minister the Gospel to prisoners. 2.The with- holding of taxes, either to an escrow account or into the ministries of counsel/provision/ and adoption for the pregnant parents. I do not recommend to you, dear reader, other than prayer as to the wisdom of these ideas. I hope that you might share wisdom God has given you with me.
