Leviticus 24 on The Menorah & the Blaspheming Son: How the Church Is Aborting Its Young

Though containing seemingly unrelated instructions, in reality Leviticus chapter 24 is one complete thought starting with the details on caring for the tabernacle’s menorah, instructions on making the showbread and then concluding with the stoning of the rebellious and blasphemous son. This is yet another example of the Torah teaching us important spiritual lessons using every day examples of life by juxta posing them with specific instructions without overtly connecting all the parts and pieces. The connective implication of these disparate subjects are astounding with regard to how parents should raise their children as we are about to discover. 

Our western mentality has been conditioned in our educational system to the teaching method where principles are explicitly connected chronologically like a mathematical equation. An example of this mathematical step-logic is that two plus two plus five minus one times two equals 16. This pedagogic or teaching style is referred to as syllogistic or step logic, where one idea is laid atop another in a linear or a progressive manner. By contrast, Western thinking is unaccustomed to the Hebraic teaching method called block logic where various ideas and concepts are laid out side-by-side like pieces of a puzzle on a table leaving the reader to assemble the random pieces. Thus, through this process a holistic picture begins to emerge. It is about learning through engagement and discovery. Leviticus chapter 24 is an example of Hebraic block logic. In reality, the whole is like a giant puzzle containing numerous puzzle pieces that must be assembled little-by-little one piece at a time. Isaiah explained it this way, “But the word of YHVH was to them, “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little…” (Isa 28:13). 

Thus, Leviticus chapter 24 is one continuous thought that is separated from the chapters that come before and after. This is clear because each chapter begins with the phrase, “And YHVH spoke to Moses….” What this means is that upon closer analysis while Leviticus chapter 24 that contains instructions about caring for the tabernacle’s menorah, baking the 12 loaves of showbread, and ends with discussing the rebellious blaspheming son these are not three separate and unrelated subjects, but are a continuum of the same thought. In fact, this chapter is not only teachings us about child rearing but is also a remez or hint about the current state of the modern, mainstream church and how it raises its young converts. Let’s now explore the this chapter to discover these insights that are examples that were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come (1 Cor 10:11).

Leviticus 24 is divided into three subsections, which include caring for the menorah, baking and placing the show bread, and punishing a young blaspheming son. Each new section begins with the Hebrew grammatical connective conjunction vav meaning “and,” which expresses a new thought. At the same time, each though is also a continuation of the previous thought. So what do these three sections have to do with each other?

First, the menorah is a symbolic picture of Yeshua and the redeemed believer. It is also a prophetic picture of Yeshua who is the tree of life to which each redeemed Israelite is attached and draws his spiritual sustenance through the Spirit of Elohim. The menorah was literally a series of hollow tubes filled with olive oil not unlike the vascular system of a tree which translocates sustenance from its trunk to its branches. When John tells us that Yeshua is the vine and the saints are his branches (John 15:1), this can be likened to the menorah—a picture of Yeshua, who is the saint’s tree of life from which we derive our spiritual sustenance and power. Moreover, the gold in the menorah symbolizes pure, godly character or the righteousness of the saints. Moreover, a menorah produces heat and light through its flame. Light represents the fruit of the Spirit of Elohim (Gal 5:22–25), and heat of the flame symbolizes the power or the gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 12). Therefore, the flame is a spiritual picture of how the saints are to evangelizes the world by being like a light on a hill (Matt 5:14) in the spiritual darkness around them to those around him who are lost in spiritual darkness. The menorah also represents the Feast of Weeks or Shavuot, when YHVH gave the children of Israel his Torah-instructions in righteousness, and then later wrote his Torah on their hearts by his Spirit as recorded in the book of Acts chapter two on the day of Pentecost (Act 2:37).

Next, the showbread of Leviticus chapter 24 symbolizes the saints or redeemed Israel (i.e., the twelve tribes of Israel) uniting to bring the bread of life, the Word of Elohim, to the world. The bread was covered in frankincense symbolizing the prayers of the saints not only praising YHVH, but interceding for those who are spiritually lost (see Rev 5:8; 8:3). Yeshua is the bread of life on which the saints are to feed in order to grow up in spiritual maturity and unity.

Finally, the death of the young blasphemer in Leviticus 24 is what happens when parents do not raise their children correctly by teaching them the truth of YHVH’s Torah when they are young. If parents fail to lay the right spiritual foundation under their children by being a spiritual light to them, when they grow up they will likely turn away from Elohim in rebellion, and sometimes even end up blaspheming him via their words and actions. The end result? If they fail to repent and return to YHVH, what will happen? The Bible tells that the wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). Eventually eternal death is the end result of rebellion against YHVH. 

It is most likely that the Israelite woman in the story married an Egyptian man who was not a believer in Elohim and the Torah, and thus she was unequally yoked with a heathen unbeliever. Or perhaps they were both followers of Elohim, but they raised their child incorrectly by not being a spiritual light to him (as represented by the menorah) by teaching their son to love, fear and obey Elohim by giving him the spiritual bread of life (represented by the table of show bread). Likely the former situation was the case. That is, the Israelite woman married an unbelieving Egyptian man. How can we deduce this? Verse 22 of the same chapter that tells us there is to be one law for both the Israelite and the alien who chooses to live among the Israelites. This is an implied indication that the Egyptian man had not accepted YHVH’s Torah-law and that the Israelite woman was unequally yoked in marriage to an unbeliever. That being the case, the rebellious son did not receive the proper upbringing since his parents were not united in the faith. Perhaps the woman did her best to teach her son YHVH’s ways, but without the support of her heathen husband, her efforts would have largely been in vain.

Our modern prisons are filled with children from Christian families who were not taught about YHVH, and who grew up and became criminals. Similarly, our universities are filled with agnostic and atheist professors who mock and even blaspheme Elohim and the Bible because their parents failed to teach them the love and fear of YHVH Elohim.

Whether the Israelite woman was unequally yoked in marriage or failed to raise her son properly either way this illustratively points to a problem in the modern Christian church. As the parents of the blasphemer failed to properly disciple their son, so the Christian church is failing to disciple its spiritual children in the word of Elohim. Does a serious disciple of our Messiah really think that an hour or two on Sunday morning with a dab of Sunday school tossed into the mix plus a week’s worth of vacation Bible school each summer is sufficient to counter the onslaught of the secularistic spirit of antichrist that continuously inundates our children 24/7 via the satanic educational system, entertainment, the media, popular culture, the influence of their peers? Add to this the electronic devices that are continuously feeding our children a study diet of ungodly filth, and what chance do they really have of growing up to be God-loving and fearing people? Yes, the church has largely failed to be a spiritual light to those Yeshua instructed them to disciple (as represented by the menorah and the showbread), and thus the church has lost many of her children to the influences of the world, the flesh and the devil because of it. How many saints (along with church leaders) spiritually abort their children because they failed to properly disciple or raise them in the Torah-Word of Elohim? Too many churches to their shame are more focused on making coverts, filling parking lots, pews and offering plates than on making true disciples of Yeshua. 

To be sure, the church is spiritually aborting its own children because of its failure to assiduously follow Yeshua’s great commission instructions to “make disciples.” Because of this, is it any wonder that the infanticidal abortion rates in America and the rest of the West are so high? We have failed to inculcate our children with the fear of YHVH, the love of his Word—the Bible, and the high, sacred value that our Creator places on life. The natural result of this is high abortion rates, and the spiritual seeds of this horrific genocidal holocaust against our children started in the Christian church who regularly spiritually aborts its young converts for the love of money and power!

As we can see, the example of the menorah, the showbread and the rebellious son of Leviticus chapter 24 is a graphic allegorical and prophetic picture of the modern Christian church that fails to disciple its people. Again, a couple of hours a week in Sunday church is a woefully inadequate amount of time to disciple and to inoculate a Christian with the means to resist the strong, downward pulls of the world, the flesh and devil that they will face all week long after they exit the church’s doors on Sunday morning. If we fail to learn the lessons from the mistakes of those who have gone before us, then it is likely we will repeat the same mistakes and suffer the same sad consequences as the young Israelite blasphemer did in Leviticus chapter 24.

 

Deuteronomy 18 on Modern Baal Worship; True Vs. False Prophets; The Biblical Yeshua Vs. the Christian Jesus

Moses Prepares the Israelites for Future Prophets

Before his death, Moses, the great prophet who spoke face to face with Elohim, prepares the children of Israel and their succeeding generations for the ministry of the prophet to come, as well as warns them against false prophets. The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (pp. 544–545) lays out Moses’ instructions to YHVH’s people in five steps. In Deuteronomy 18:9–22, YHVH formally proscribes any involvement with the bogus mantic (i.e. relating to divination or prophecy) practices of the surrounding nations (vv. 9–14). Then having stated that a line of prophets would speak or write with the same authority of Moses, he commanded the Israelites to render the prophet the same obedience he had commanded them to give Moses (vv. 9–14). Five certifying signs of a true prophet (Ps 74:9; Matt 12:38; Acts 2:22) were then were then given:

  • The prophet must be an Israelite or “of the brethren” (vv. 15, 18).
  • He must speak in name or voice of YHVH (vv. 16, 19, 20), and the death penalty being for those who falsely claimed to do so (v. 20; 18:1ff; 1 Kgs 18:20–40).
  • Supernatural knowledge of the near future was to be a sign of the authenticity of the prophet’s divine appointment (vv. 21–22; 1 Kgs 22; Jer 28, esp. v. 17).
  • The prophet might perform some other miraculous signs (Deut 13:1ff; 1 Kgs 18:24, esp. v. 36).
  • The final test was strict conformity to or agreement with the previously certified revelations by Moses at first and by the prophets to follow (Deut 13:1–18). The fifth requirement is emphatic, since the entire thirteenth chapter is devoted to it.

Deuteronomy 18:10, One who causes his son or daughter to pass through the fire.

The Abominable and Idolatrous Practice of Abortion Is Modern Baal Worship!

The ancient Canaanite practice of child sacrifice was done in honor of the Canaanite deity Moloch (see Lev 18:21 and 20:1–6). The name moloch Hebrew means “king”with the root of the word meaning “to rule or reign.” Child sacrifice (the ancient form of modern abortion or infanticide) though a pagan practice that YHVH abhorred, was practiced by both houses or kingdoms of Israel after they had drifted into spiritual syncretism with the heathen cultures around them (see 1 Kgs 11:7; 2 Kgs 16:3; 21:6; 23:10,13; Jer 7:31; 19:5; Ezek 16:20; 23:37). 

Baal appears to be a synonym of Molach or Moloch (see Jer 19:5 and the Ency. Britan. eleventh edit., vol. 18, p. 676). After the children were sacrificed to this demon entity, the dead bodies were thrown into the garbage dump of the Valley of Hinnom or Tophet just below the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (Jer 7:31; 19:5–6). Apparently, the children were not burned alive, but were slain (by knife) like any other sacrifice before being thrown into the fire and then into the garbage dump (ibid.). The ancients sacrificed their children to appease their bloodthirsty gods of prosperity, sensuality and fertility (The Story of Civilization, vol. 1, by Will Durant, pp. 66–67, 297). 

What can we learn from these random pieces of historical information concerning the ancient practice of child sacrifice? It was done in honor of their deity; in other words, their idol was the king that ruled their lives. What is the chief deity in modern America and most everywhere else in the world? Money and wealth? Sex and pleasure? Fun and entertainment? In ancient times, children were killed by a knife, thrown into the fire and then into the garbage dump. Today, what happens in America and many other countries with unwanted children? Parents abort their babies or have them murdered while being born (partial birth abortion) by using burning solutions to kill the baby in the womb and scalpels and scissors to hack the baby to pieces to aid in its extraction. Afterwards the dead baby is tossed into a dumpster or body parts are sold for “medical” purposes.

What reasons do parents give for killing their children? “It will cost too much to raise them and it’s too much trouble” (greed, hedonism and selfishness). “It will interfere with my career” (selfishness and greed). “I want to have pleasure ­without ­responsibility” (selfishness, hedonism and greed). Regardless of the excuses, the reasons today are the same as those of the ancients: prosperity, greed, hedonism, selfishness and so on. Are we any different or any more “civilized” than the ancients? YHVH called abortion an abomination (which means he viewed the practice as “disgusting, abominable,abhorrent, detestable or loathsome,” Deut 18:12). 

Make no mistake about it. The modern practice of abortion is still the worship of the ancient murderous demon-god Moloch or Baal whether those practicing abortion know it or not. The reasons for engaging in this abominable practice are still the same, and the evil, murderous and demonic spirit motivating people to do it is still the same. Humans are no different today than they were thousands of years ago. Only the actors, costumes and venues have changed. The actions and evil heart of man remains the same without the transforming power of Word and Spirit of Elohim at work to convert sinful humans from the kingdom of darkness and the worship of and obedience to Baal (Satan) to the kingdom of light and the worship of and obedience to YHVH Elohim.

Do you abhor that which YHVH calls an abomination? In Scripture, does YHVH call children and fertility a curse … or a blessing? (See Deut 28:11 and Ps 127:3–5.)


Deuteronomy 18:15, A prophet from your midst, like me, shall YHVH your Elohim raise up for you. 

Jewish and Christian Opposition to Moses’ Messianic Prophecy 

Moses—A Prophetic Type of the Messiah

Obviously, Moses’ Deuteronomy 18 prophecy concerning the Messiah was fulfilled in the person of Yeshua. Who else in the history of the world could have fulfilled this prophecy? Despite this, the non-believing religious Jews, to their discredit, run around in philosophical circles attempting to prove that this verse does not apply to Yeshua. Similarly, the Christian church, in its own way, also disbelieves this prophecy. Let us examine some of the arguments attempting to circumvent the simple truth of this messianic prophecy.

Leviticus 17 on Blood Drinking and Letting, Human Sacrifice, Tattoos, Cannibalism & Pedophilia

Leviticus 17

Exploring the Concepts of Sacrifice, Blood-Letting and Eating Blood

The sacrificing of animals as an act of worship or for any reason is a foreign concept in our modern, secularized society, but this was not the case in the ancient biblical world. Concomitant with sacrifices is the idea of freewill offerings,which, in the ancient world, were often made together as an act of worship to various deities. 

With regard to sacrifices, man’s first act of worship outside the Garden of Eden was to make offerings and sacrifice to Elohim (Gen 4:1–4). Making a sacrifice to Elohim was also Noah’s first act of worship after the flood (Gen 8:20). The same is true of Abraham upon receiving the covenant from Elohim (Gen 12:6). At key points in his spiritual journey, Abraham repeated this same act of worship (Gen 12:8; 13:3, 18). The same is true of the Israelites who after having received the Torah at Sinai made a sacrifice to Elohim as they entered into a covenantal agreement with him (Exod 24:4). Subsequently, YHVH instructed the Israelites to establish an entire sacrificial system as a means to be reconciled to him. Similarly, animal sacrifices and offerings being made to various deities was an important aspect of the heathen cultures of the biblical world. Even in the first century, the Greeks were still sacrificing animals in their pagan temples to their gods and goddesses (1 Cor 8:1–13; 10:20) as were the Jews prior to the destruction of their temple in A.D. 70 (Acts 21:24 cp. Num 6:13–21).

So, in the mind of the ancients, what was the purpose of sacrifice? The ritual killing and offering of an animal was part of a religious ritual either to appease or to gain the favor of a deity. 

With this concept in mind, several points should be noted. Man’s rebellion and sin against Elohim in the Garden of Eden caused man to be cut off from his Creator and incur his judgment against man’s sin. The Garden of Eden and the fall of man event is part of the mythos of many ancient civilizations (e.g. Mesopotamian, Summerian, Greek, Indians, Moslem and apparently the Babylonians, Chaldeans, Persians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Mexicans and Chinese as well), and thus this idea of man’s separation from deity because of his sin informed the ancients of their need to be reconciled to a deity or deities. 

However, it stands to reason that as we move forward in human history and away from the original sin of man in Garden of Eden, where YHVH revealed to man his need for an atoning blood sacrifice, the pure worship of Elohim through sacrifice at the same time became blurry in men’s minds and corrupted by demonic incursions and influences (e.g. Gen 6:2–5). Through subversive activities of Satan the Adversary and his minions, the practice of Elohim’s true religion became perverted and even counterfeited. As a result, men began to worship counterfeit deities of their own concoction that ran cross grain to or were in outright antithetical rebellion to the commandments of YHVH Elohim with regard to the making of offering and sacrifices. Instead of men making sacrifices and offerings to be reconciled to Elohim because of sin, the heathens exchanged the worship of the true Elohim for that of Satan and his evil minions. This resulted in men making sacrifices to appease the anger of their false demon-gods and, at the same time, to curry their favor (for fortune, fame, spiritual power and long life). Over time, man’s sin and his need to be reconciled to the Creator was no longer the focal point of the sacrifice or offering at all. The Israelites, under YHVH’s guidance, on the other hand, kept the true purpose of sacrifice in view. It was for the purpose of atonement for sin in order to reconcile sinful and fallen man to his Creator as Leviticus 17:11 states.

As the biblical narrative reveals, the ancient Israelites were all too easily swayed by the heathen, Canaanite, Baal-worshipping cultures around them whose gods had moral stringencies much less demanding than those of Elohim, and who instead of forbidding sinful acts not only tolerated but often promoted them, even incorporating them into their cult rituals (e.g. ritual temple prostitution and other forms of sexual deviancy including homosexuality). This is why YHVH’s Torah included strict commands against Israel’s fraternizing in any way with the neighboring Canaanites or adopting any of their religious rituals—especially those involving blood and sacrifice, since the Creator originally designed these rituals only for worship, atonement and reconciliation purposes. With this historical backdrop in view, it hopefully should be easier to see why YHVH was so adamant that the Israelites adhere to his strict protocols with regard to making animal sacrifices, while at the same time he prohibited them from following the heathen’s perverted versions of these rituals—rituals that had devolved into outright demon worship (Lev 17:7).

If YOU abort you baby, you’re tipping your hat to Moloch/Baal (Satan)

Deuteronomy 18:10, One who causes his son or daughter to pass through the fire. This was done in honor of the Canaanite deity Moloch (see Lev 18:21 and 20:1–6). The name moloch/lKNin Hebrew means “king”with the root of the word meaning “to rule or reign.” Child sacrifice (the ancient form of modern abortion or infanticide) though a pagan practice that YHVH abhorred, was practiced by both houses or kingdoms of Israel as they drifted into syncretism with the heathen cultures around them (see 1 Kgs 11:7; 2 Kgs 16:3; 21:6; 23:10,13; Jer 7:31; 19:5; Ezek 16:20; 23:37). 

Baal appears to be a synonym of Molach or Moloch (see Jer 19:5 and the Ency. Britan. eleventh edit., vol. 18, p. 676).  After the children were sacrificed to this demon entity, the dead bodies were thrown into the garbage dump of the Valley of Hinnom or Tophet just below the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (Jer 7:31; 19:5–6).

Regardless of the excuses, the reasons today are the same as those of the ancients: prosperity, greed, hedonism and so on. Are we any different or any more “civilized” than the ancients? YHVH called abortion an abomination (which means “disgusting, abominable,abhorrent, detestable or loathsome,” Deut 18:12). 

Make no mistake about it. The modern practice of abortion is still the worship of the ancient murderous demon-god Moloch or Baal whether those practicing abortion know it or not. The reason for engaging in this abominable practice are still the same, and the evil spirit motivating people to do it is still the same. Humans are no different today than they were thousands of years ago. Only the actors and costumes have changed. The actions and evil heart of man remains the same without transforming power of Word and Spirit of Elohim at work to convert sinful humans from the kingdom of darkness and the worship of and obedience to Baal (Satan) to the kingdom of light and the worship of and obedience to YHVH Elohim.

Do you abhor that which YHVH calls an abomination? In Scripture, does YHVH call children and fertility a curse … or a blessing? (See Deut 28:11, Ps 127:3–5.)

 

Premarital Sex and Passing Children Through the Fire

Leviticus 18:21, Pass through the fire.In the juxtapositioning of this passage directly after the Torah’s prohibition of illicit sex, it would appear that YHVH is broadcasting a clear message to his people. Extra-marital sex often results in unwanted babies. In our day, many choose to murder their unwanted offspring through abortion. In ancient times, some of these undesired children were likely sacrificed to the pagan Canaanite god Moloch by being burned alive. That is certainly the implication in this passage. Whatever the case, YHVH hates the murder of children for any reason!

This passage (along with Exod 21:22) is one of the strongest pro-life, anti-infanticide verses in the Scriptures. The penalty for those who sacrificed their children to Molech (or Moloch) was that the land of Israel would vomit the people out of it (vv. 25 and 28.) Could any clearer statement be made about how the Creator feels about the sanctity of life? 

The murder of the innocent children is perhaps the greatest sin that a nation can commit. Abortion is a form of child sacrifice, which is something many ancient cultures practiced (the Aztecs, Incas, Phoenicians, pre-Islamic Arabs, and the biblical Canaanites). In the Bible, YHVH condemns the practice of heathens and apostate Israelites who made their children pass through the fire in worship of the demon-god Moloch (See Lev 18:21; 20:2–5; Deut 12:30–31; 18:10.) What judgment did YHVH place on the Jewish nation for sacrificing its children to Moloch? (See Jer 7:30–34; 32:35–36.)

 

The Bible condemns the sin of abortion!

Exodus 21:22, Hurt a woman with child.This passage is one of the strongest pro-life, anti-abortion verses in the Scriptures. Clearly, this passage teaches that life begins in the womb. The penalty for a man who is responsible for the death of an unborn child is death (v. 23.) Could any clearer statement be made about how the Creator feels about the sanctity of life? Here are some statistics about abortion:

  • 42 million abortions occur worldwide each year (that’s 115,000 per day).
  • In 2008, 1.21 million abortions occurred in the U.S.
  • From 1973 to 2008, 50 million legal abortions occurred in the U.S.
  • 22 percent of all U.S. pregnancies end in abortion.
  • In 2007, 84% of all abortions were performed on unmarried women.
  • At current rates, nearly one-third of American women will have an abortion.

(Sources of information: abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html; guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_induced_abortion.html; abort73.com/abortion_facts/us_abortion_statistics/ — this is now a dead link).

Thankfully, as of this writing, the abortion rate in the US is slowly, but steadily dropping. In 2000 according to the National Right to Life (NRL), 1.36 million babies were aborted. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) puts the number at 857,475. In 2014 according to the NRL the number of abortions in the US dropped to 926,240. According to the NRL the total number of abortions performed in the US from 1973 to 2013 was nearly 58.6 million, while the CDC puts the number at nearly 51.9 million.

The murder of the innocent children is perhaps the greatest sin that a nation can commit. Abortion is a form of child sacrifice, which is something many ancient cultures practiced (e.g. the Aztecs, Incas, Phoenicians, pre-Islamic Arabs, and the biblical Canaanites). In the Bible, YHVH condemns the practice of the heathens and apostate Israelites who made their children pass through the fire in the worship of the demon-god Moloch (see Lev 18:21; 20:2–5; Deut 12:30–31; 18:10). YHVH placed on the nation of Israel a severe judgment for sacrificing its children to Moloch. He promised that their cities would be destroyed and that their nation be conquered by foreigners and that the Jews would be taken captive (see Jer 7:30–34; 32:35–36).

Exodus 21:22 clearly delineates the Creator’s position that human life begins at conception (see also Ps 139:13–16; Jer 1:5; Luke 1:15, 41, 44), not at birth. 

Exodus 21:26–27, Eye…Tooth.This is the well known “eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth passage.” This is a remez meaning that these verses lay out a principle that’s broadly applicable to many situations. That is to say, what this verse is teaching us is that justice is properly served when the crime fits the punishment—when the criminal is himself deprived of that which he deprived his victim. To be sure, such a punishment is a strong deterrent to criminality! In the case of one causing another an injury for which one can’t recompense the victim (in the case of a loss of an eye or tooth), the criminal must suffer the same fate as his victim. In the case where a criminal causes harm to another (such as theft), which can be repaid, it is the criminal’s responsibility to make restitution.

 

BIDEN, WARREN PLEDGE TO ‘CODIFY’ ROE V. WADE INTO FEDERAL LAW

Please earnestly pray that YHVH Elohim, the Just, Righteous and Holy Judge of the universe, will bring judgement against and bring to naught the presidential campaigns of these two wicked and murder-promoting evil-doers as well as any other political candidates, politicians, judges or anyone else who agrees with them! Those who support abortion are motivated by the Satanic spirit of murder and are, whether they realize it or not, are worshippers of the ancient Canaanite demon-gods of Baal and Moloch who promoted child sacrifice as a way of gaining the favor of devil. Make no mistake, by their words and actions, these people are devil-worshippers. One cannot be a Christian and also be pro-abortion. Moreover, it’s doubtful that one can support a political party that promotes the murder of children and expect to make it into the kingdom of heaven (see 1 For 6:9–10; Rev 21:8; 22:15). If you are a registered Democrat, get out of that party, NOW! If you don’t like what I’ve said, too bad. You’re out of synch with the Word of Elohim! Your problem isn’t with me, it’s with Elohim and his Word.— Natan

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? (Psalm 94:16)

Biden, Warren Pledge to ‘Codify’ Roe v. Wade into Federal Law

The two leading Democratic presidential candidates pledged during Tuesday’s debate to codify legalized abortion into federal law, thus ensuring it remains the law of the land if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. 

Former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) said Congress should pass a law supporting legalizing abortion because Roe is threatened. Roe and its accompanying decisions legalized abortion nationwide through all nine months of pregnancy.  

“I would make sure that … we codify Roe v. Wade,” Biden said. “The public is already there. Things have changed. … Reproductive rights are a constitutional right. And, in fact, every woman should have that right.”

Biden leads Warren in the RealClear Politics nationwide polling average, although Warren has led him in several recent surveys. 

“We now have support across this country,” Warren said. “Three out of four Americans believe in the rule of Roe v. Wade. When you’ve got three out of four Americans supporting it, we should be able to get that passed through Congress.”
