Counting the Omer
 ~ Day #8



 Reaping the Whirlwind
  
 

********************************************************************************************
But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother's wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother. ~ Genesis 38:9 (Berean Study Bible) 
********************************************************************************************

By Counting Day #8 of the Omer, we continue in the Lord's directive to the Israelites, after the Passover miracle.  It is a day that we acknowledge and focus on God's abundance.  He saved 8 people in the Ark, which was abundantly enough to repopulate the earth.  Circumcision occurs on the 8th day and symbolizes abundant sensitivity to God.  In Greek Gematria, the Name of Jesus adds up to 888, more than enough to counter the Beast of 666.  The number 8 on its side is the infinity symbol.  As always, when we follow Christ and His Holy Word, there is an abundance, more than enough.  However, is there an abundance of Godly children today?   

Applying this concept to today, there is still an elephant in the room within Christian circles on the obvious connection between birth control and abortion.  What has led us to this point?  The Greek Word "ousia" means "substance" or "essence." It literally means the "being" of a living person. Therefore, mankind's substance is himself, it is his issue.  Birth control is the crowbar that the devil has used to get in the door of our minds and consciences in order to spawn the hideous monster known as "Planned Parenthood."  Any time we use birth control, we are restricting our very substance.  Why then do most Christians continue to bow down at the altar of birth control? 

Like Onan, the prodigal son shows us another scriptural acknowledgement of "wasting our substance."

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his SUBSTANCE with riotous living.
~ Luke 15:13 (King James 2000 Version)

The VERY FIRST COMMAND of God found in scripture is:

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.
~ Genesis 1:28(a)

Scripture goes on to say women (who symbolize The Church) will be SAVED through childbirth. 

And it was not Adam (mankind) who was deceived, but the woman (The Church) who was deceived and fell into transgression. Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
~ 1 Timothy 2:14-15

Scripture continues by informing us that with children, we are best able to defend ourselves.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.
~ Psalm 127:4-5

The very name "Planned Parenthood" is an affront to God's teachings and, instead, encourages man's unfruitfulness through a wasteful "spilling of seed." One must ask why so many in the Christian world embraced and promoted birth control which is clearly an anti-scriptural ideology which tries to draw asunder procreation from the unitive conjugal act. This is the very  thinking which spawned the "sexual revolution."  

From the Virgin Mary's perspective, her pregnancy was indeed unplanned!  Only God should make this call as to WHEN HE GRANTS LIFE! We see this concept in the spiritual realm as well:

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
~ John 6:44 

In an apt analogy, continued support of birth control would be no different than supporting Aryan race supremacy while simultaneously claiming we had nothing to do with the proliferation of the death camps!

Clearly, we've been duped by Satan. We've chased the careers, the big house, the latest model cars, multiple vacations a year and then discharge our "issue" into a condom or take a pill which creates hostile womb conditions.

As a side note: I wonder how many people realize that IUD's and birth control pills actually EXPEL fertilized eggs by destroying the womb conditions necessary for successful attachment?  For those who need a wake-up call, this process of expelling already fertilized eggs is called an ABORTION.  You and your spouse might be having an ABORTION every single month with your "birth control" methods.  Spiritually chilling, one of these abortion methods is known as "Plan B."   Zyklon B, Hitler's Plan B, was the poisonous gas that was used during the HOLOCAUST.

Jesus Christ came to bring LIFE and LIFE more ABUNDANTLY. Jesus' agenda has nothing to do with birth control which is the realm of Satan.

The thief cometh not, but for to STEAL, and to KILL, and to DESTROY: I am come that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it MORE ABUNDANTLY.
~ John 10:10

Until all of Christianity REPENTS of violating this command of God Almighty, we will continue to birth nothing but wind.

We were pregnant, we writhed in pain, we gave birth to wind. We have brought NO SALVATION to the earth, nor brought any LIFE into the world.
~ Isaiah 26:18

What a sad epitaph this would be for our Judeo-Christian based nations.  May we soon regret the evil done to our societies by our penchant for birth control and REPENT and TURN AWAY from this sin.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in Jesus' Holy Name, I REPENT for following my own agenda instead of following Your instructions to be fruitful and multiply. I want to deepen my relationship with Christ, the Passover Lamb, and remove any sin strongholds through REPENTANCE. Please forgive me for my selfishness and my lack of knowledge in not honoring Your Word. Please forgive me for not bringing Life into the world. Free us from the lies of the enemy which seek to steal, kill and destroy the Life which You so lovingly provide. Cleanse us, Your Bride, from all sin so that we will be ready for Your soon return and to be presented without spot or wrinkle. We pray this prayer in the Name above all names, the King above all kings, the Lord of Lords, Yeshua.

~Amen and Amen.
