Save the Whales, Murder
the Children
Jonah was angry due to the fact that God spared
Assyria and they were being used as a rod of correction to punish Israel for
her evil. Jonah wanted God to destroy Assyria and to spare his people, yet he
says God is a gracious God and is merciful of great kindness.
Jonah 4:3, "Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for [it
is] better for me to die than to live. Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to
be angry?"
Jonah wanted to die and the Lord questioned him as to his anger.
Jonah 4:5, "So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city,
and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see
what would become of the city. And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made
[it] to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to
deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd."
Here we have Jonah waiting to see if the Lord will destroy the city, wishful
thinking on his part. The Lord allowed a gourd plant to cover Jonah as to
shade him from the fierce desert sun.
Jonah
4:7, "But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote
the gourd that it withered. And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that
God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah,
that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, [It is] better for me
to die than to live."
Now the worm had withered the gourd and the desert sun beat upon Jonah's head
and he wanted to die as he had failed to prevent the city from repenting and
perishing.
Jonah 4:9, "And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And
he said, I do well to be angry, [even] unto death. Then said the LORD, Thou
hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither
madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night. And should
not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than six-score thousand
persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and
[also] much cattle?"
Here
the Lord asks Jonah what is more important, a plant, or the people of the city?
The modern day ecologists and animal rights people are more worried about baby
seals and trees than 9-month old children being born at abortion clinics and
having their skulls cut open and having their brains sucked out in what is
called partial birth abortion.
The body parts of the
babies are being sold to all types of companies for everything from
experimenting to facial injections. Unbeknownst to many people, even
some
children's vaccinations contain the remains of aborted fetuses.
Experiments that would have made the Nazis proud are being done with the
leftover parts of the aborted children here in the U.S.A.
74% of all
New York babies are ABORTED!!! (and scientists are requesting the remains
for transgenic experimentation). Few people realize that
beauty salons are fueling the trade
in aborted babies! There is a great demand for baby parts!!!
Animal rights people do not worry about the life of a little baby growing on
the womb, and ecologists agree with Jonah that the plant is more important; yet,
to God, the people are his concern. Woe unto America! How much
longer will God tolerate the murdering, selling, and Frankenstein
experimentation of little babies?
Repent and believe the Gospel.
