The Judaeans King “Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the LORD” (2 Kings 21:16). He “had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the LORD would not pardon” (2 Kings 24:4). In Genesis 25:19-28, Isaac and Rebekah’s twins, Esau and Jacob, were “not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil” (Romans 9:10-11). Unborn babies are innocent. God did not pardon shedding very much innocent blood. Judas Iscariot confessed “saying, ‘I have sinned by betraying innocent blood’"  (Matthew 27:4). Innocence is described as anyone, like babies, who have done no harm to anyone, and Jesus Christ, who only did good (Acts 10:38). Babies’ innocent blood damns, Jesus Christ’s innocent blood saves. - May 25, 2021

In predicting what signs would precede the destruction of Jerusalem (which occurred in A.D. 70), Jesus told His disciples, “You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. And you will be hated by all for My name's sake” (Luke 21:16-17).  The sad realization is that, today, families are just as shredded. Parents, especially fathers, have left their children in the hands of grandparents, the State, the neighborhood, or to fend for themselves.  These abandoned children have become “disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful” (Romans 1:30-31).  Their disrespectful attitude is toward parents, teachers, church, Jesus Christ, and even, God, Himself!  “For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children” (2 Corinthians 12:14).   - September 30, 2019
