God created all human beings to live forever.
Daniel 12:2 “Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt”.
Satan knew this truth before he turned against God. Since the days of Adam and Eve, Satan has used the strategy of prematurely terminating human lives. Satan would prefer to have every human soul to share in his eternal destiny that is characterized by shame and everlasting contempt for God. Adam and Eve allowed their perfect relationship with God to be aborted. It was prematurely terminated when Satan successfully tempted them to sin against God and they experienced spiritual and physical death. Satan was immediately warned that the Seed of Eve would one day crush his head. God was referring to Jesus Christ the Redeemer and Messiah who would come to offer the gift of everlasting life restore human souls to God.
Genesis 3:15 “I will put animosity between you and the woman between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will crush his heel”.
Cain was the very first human being born to Eve through natural childbirth. Satan knew that the Redeemer would come from the lineage of one Eve’s children and immediately began his campaign of prematurely terminating human lives. He successfully tempted Cain to prematurely terminate the life of his brother Abel with the motive of ending Abel’s bloodline. Essentially, Abel’s life was postnatally aborted.
Adam and Eve bore many more children. With the birth of Seth, the blood lineage to Jesus Christ was supernaturally created and protected by our Sovereign God. Eve’s other children would have been raised hearing the firsthand account of the consequences of sin. God would raise up a remnant of faithful believers that would be truth bearers for His glory and purposes throughout Biblical history. Satan has waged a deadly campaign against that remnant in an attempt to prevent them from fulfilling their God given personal life purpose of being truth bearers in an evil and sinful world. Never knowing who those potential truth bearers are, Satan has devised many tactics to prematurely terminate any human life that could possibly pose a threat to his evil agenda in any way.
For thousands of years, pagans have sacrificed their children to demonic false gods such as Baal, Chemosh and Molech. The Torah condemns those who let their children "pass through the fire". Some were killed and burned, some may have been burned alive, and some may have been murdered in the womb and their bodies consumed in ceremonial fire. In every case, human lives were prematurely terminated, never having the chance to decide for themselves whether or not to become followers and servants of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
When God heard Israel's cries from Egypt, He would send a human deliverer named Moses to bring them out of Egypt into the Promised Land.
Satan moved Pharaoh of Egypt to prematurely terminate every male baby that could possibly be the deliverer in an attempt to abort God's plan of saving Israel. Satan was thwarted in his attempt to prematurely terminate the nation of Israel by Pharaoh of Egypt. He has also used similar abortive tactics to destroy Israel using the Mede and Persian, Babylonian, Greek and Roman Empires.
Satan also moved King Herod to prematurely terminate every infant boy in an attempt to abort Jesus’s mission of coming to earth, who successfully gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross for the greatest blood atonement ever offered for the sins of mankind. Every soul Satan entices to sin and to reject the love of God is a soul he will have company with in the eternal lake of fire, in shame and everlasting contempt. Prematurely terminating every human life as soon as possible has always been Satan's biggest strategy in destroying human lives that have the potential to be used by God for his glory and eternal purposes.
Abortion in the modern age
All these points are simply out of a page in a historical account of humanity, right? In short… No. The act of killing children still takes place mainly in slaughter houses disguised as health clinics and hospitals.
In Canada it is lawful for a medical doctor to arrange a 40-week-old baby’s position in the womb to the breech position. The doctor then delivers the baby’s body until only the head remains in the birth canal. The doctor then shoves a sharp knife from the rear base of the skull up into the baby’s brain, creating a passage for a suction nozzle to be inserted into the brain. A switch is turned on and a powerful vacuum evacuates the baby’s brains from their skull causing the skull to collapse. This is known as “Partial Birth Abortion” carried out on the very same day that most babies are typically delivered healthy and alive on their actual birthday.
Satan failed to abort Israel. Satan failed to abort Jesus. Children are his preferred prey. We the Church need to be the ones standing in the way.
