I have a question for you, Christians and non-Christians alike.
For some time now, many, if not most, people are relatively apathetic about the murder of babies by abortion in this world. There are roughly 50 million abortions a year worldwide.
My question is this. How long do you think God will allow this to continue without bringing severe judgment against the entire world? Is He being merciful to us while we continue in this sin? In the Scripture, God sometimes waits for the iniquity of a nation to be full. (Gen. 15:16) Knowing the Scripture and its author as I do, I think it would be a big mistake to interpret God's silence as his mercy. There may be some warning shots across the bow like our current pandemic and economic chaos, but compared to what He is likely to bring, this pandemic will seem like a picnic if we do not repent.
There's a principle in Scripture that teaches it is only by shedding the blood of the murderer that a land is purged from its blood-guiltiness. Read carefully the passage I have included below.
Numbers 35:31, 33
Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
