Ripped Open the Women with Child

Scripture Amos 1:13 Thus says the LORD:
“For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
That they might enlarge their territory.

Observation: I’ve seen this verse in other scriptures in the Old Testament that they ripped open the women with child and the thought is so disgusting it’s hard to imagine. Isn’t that what we do today? We may not rip the woman open but they go into the womb and either poison the baby or remove their brain. It is being done now in the ninth month just before they are to be delivered. These babies are God’s creation even before they were conceived. He knew us before we were born and knitted them together in their mother’s womb. God is just and this will be punished. One of the reasons this is done is because of a group that wants to control the population so they can enlarge their territory.

Application: We need to stand up for the rights of unborn children and do what we can to stop this sin against God. God will not let this go unpunished, because He is just.

Prayer Dear Lord I don’t know how you forgive us for allowing your children to die. We deserve your judgement as a country, but we beg for mercy and ask for guidance on how to stop this slaughter of children. Repay the evil to those who are in control of doing this.
