1 1 Better than the Blood of Abel Re: The cry of the innocent unborn Yesterday, I found myself musing over the above thought, when I soon realized that it would become a topic to which I would be writing at some point. It was really no surprise when I awoke this morning to find that it was in the forefront of my mind, and something to which I am being compelled to write. As I sit here praying and preparing to release this word, I find that my heart and mind are in conflict with one another over the implications embodied in this text. To be honest with you, I wish that I was wrong about what I am seeing and hearing; but the heart of the Father in me, and what I know to be true, is speaking louder to me than the trouble in my soul. What I am going to share with you is controversial and it represents a sad indictment against every people, nation and country on earth. Bear with me as I share my heart and table this topic from a very different perspective and view than most will be able to embrace at this time. One of the primary differences between being a prophetic person and being person who is a prophet, is most prophetic people speak words that are primarily exhorting, encouraging and edifying, while prophets deliver more directed and pointed words representing the Father s heart concerning a matter, and they do so as one having authority. Now, I neither am promoting myself as a prophet to the nations nor am I trying to soften the pungent sound and feel of the word that I am about to release; but it will require a time of prayerful consideration before summarily dismissing it, and mature believers do not react to truth in anger. Lovers of the truth are always going to respond in mature way. Luke 11: Therefore also the Wisdom of Yahweh said, I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute, so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. Matthew 23:35 - so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Note: A part of what I have been meditating revolves around the shedding of innocent blood. Another involves the question: What did Abel s blood say to Yahweh? I believe that I have received an answer to my question and it is both scripturally accurate and spiritually correct.

2 2 I challenge you to do a word study and cross reference these terms. (Innocent blood, blood of the Righteous, and the blood of Abel) What you are going to discover is, Yahweh s anger and wrath is kindled against the shedding of blood and He is grieved and mourns the death of the righteous. He also answers the cry of innocent blood that speaks to Him out of the earth. In one respect He has already answered the cry of Abel s blood, as well as, the cry of every innocent and righteous person whose blood was needlessly spilled into the earth. I can assure you that He will continue to answer the cry of the untold millions of people whose lives were pre-maturely extinguished and snuffed out without consideration for consequence and coming retribution. Righteousness and truth always prevail and Justice will be served. More and more we are going to see the sons of Yahweh and His Kingdom people begin to rise up representing righteous judgment and calling for Justice to be served. Just a few days ago, we are all deeply moved and are still dealing with the mass killings that took place last week in Aurora, CO. and just yesterday a person with a conceal/carry permit pulled down on a man who was stabbing people in a local super market in UT. Most of the people I know have moved on, not considering that the killings that took place in Aurora are just one of a number of killing sprees that have been taking place on a daily, monthly and yearly basis both here and abroad. They have compartmentalized something that just happened a few days ago and would like this horrible incident put out of their minds because they feel helpless to do anything about it and are afraid to admit that they are feeling vulnerable and insecure. What if I told you that the blood of every innocent unborn infant every kidnapped and murdered child and young person, as well as all of the victims of the every shooting, (including the survivors) is still crying out for justice? What if I told you that Yahweh s anger and wrath is and has been kindle against this nation and others for a very long time? That s right, people make up a nation, and a nation represents a country, and a country represents an international community on planet earth. The difference between this nation and others is we are supposed to be a nation governed by and for the people, while others are forced to bow down and kowtow to the whims and desires of their tyrant rulers. One thing that has been made abundantly clear to me concerning the the coming of Yahshua and the establishment of His Kingdom is, it has not changed much about how people, nations and countries relate to Yahweh or one another. Sorry, all we have to do is look at history down through the centuries to see that people live and die and nations come and go. Some people live a little longer than others; but at the end of days, they are either terminated or expire. Some nations come and go in a relatively short period of time, while others seem to change with the times, adapt and continue to grow and prosper. There is nothing in history or the bible that says that this nation or any other is going to continue to grow and prosper.

3 3 There is nothing in the history or the bible that says that Yahweh loves or favors one nation over another. However, it does say The nation that forgets Yahweh will be turned into Hell Psalm 9:17 - The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. KJV It may come as a surprise to you to discover that the United States of America is not God s Country, nor will it necessarily be where the King s summer castle will be located in the future. In short, no matter what happens to this nation, the people will suffer the consequences and since there is no guarantee that we will continue to grow and prosper, I want you to know that the forward and upward movement of the Kingdom of Yahweh will not be slowed or stopped by the fall of this nation or any other. I, also, want you to know, that economies collapse and countries go to war. Civilizations crumble and life goes on. The advancement of the Kingdom will continue with or without you. If you are nearing the end of your journey, you need to concentrate on arming and equipping the next generation with the armament necessary to survive and thrive. My question to us is if we could hear the blood of our forefathers and the millions of lives that have been lost in order to preserve our way of life, what would they be saying to Yahweh? And if we were to give them a voice, what would they be saying to this generation about the decline and coming devastation of this nation? Hebrews 12: But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living Elohim, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to Yahweh, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Yahshua, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens. This phrase, Yet once more, indicates the removal of things that are shaken that is, things that have been made in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to Yahweh acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our Elohim is a consuming fire. ESV What I am going to share with you in conclusion has to do with what I am presently seeing and hearing about the continued wholesale slaughter of the innocent unborn, as well as the shedding of innocent blood on every level.

4 4 One of the reasons that there has been an increase of murder, mayhem and debauchery in this country is because a spirit of death and destruction has been released through the involuntary worship of angels and intruding into realms for which we are neither authorized nor qualified. It involves varying levels of necromancy (summoning and conjuring the dead)-(talking to and consulting with angels and other dimensional beings) and making a covenant with death that ranges from self-annihilation and mutilation, to mass shootings and killings. (The fad and cult following of vampirism and the zombie nation) Many are asking where it all will stop. Others are being energized and empowered to ramp it up even more in the days ahead. Some are saying enough is enough, and we are not going to take it anymore. I don t know about you; but I am numbered among the sane remnant of people who know and recognize that we are in a battle for our very lives and existence. I also want you to know that I have a few friends that make up the warring worshippers of our time and we are joined at the heart, by the Spirit. That said, if we do not repent as a nation and turn from our wicked ways, Yahweh has informed me that when the law of the Spirit has been violated, and there will be Hell to pay. In layman s terms What goes around comes around. In other words, when innocent blood is shed and a life taken, it must be redeemed by the taking of the life of the perpetrator in order for Justice to be served. Note: I am talking about the spiritual laws that govern all life in the universe! Unless blood for blood is offered and life for life given, the blood that was shed continues to cry out day and night for justice, and it will keep crying out until such time someone redeems the life that has been lost. Note: Concerning abortion and all shedding of innocent blood, this is the question that I am hearing. If the blood of Abel spoke to Yahweh out of the earth, what is the blood of over 50, 000,000 unborn infants saying to Yahweh right now? When a saline abortion is performed, the unborn infant is burned and emulsified. Then he is pulled apart in pieces as he is evacuated from his mother s womb. In last trimester, partial birth abortions, he is pulled from his mother s womb head first, and slaughtered by inserting a surgical instrument into the back of his neck severing his spine. As a nation we are already on burning and on fire in the spirit, and we are presently being pulled apart in pieces, and have been beheaded as a nation. In other words we have lost our head, and have now are being turned into Hell.

5 5 If we don t repent and have a change of heart right now, we are going to that which is already happening in the spirit become the living Hell we experience in the natural. In many ways it has already begun, and it may very well be too late for this nation! blh Deuteronomy 21:9 - So you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the sight of Yahweh. 2 Samuel 4:11- How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood at your hand and destroy you from the earth? Isaiah 5:7- For the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, an outcry! Jeremiah 22:3 Thus says Yahweh: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. Ezekiel 3:20 - Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood I will require at your hand. Romans 3: and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Messiah Yahshua, whom Yahweh put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show Yahweh s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Hebrews 12: But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living Elohim, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to Yahweh, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Yahshua, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Remember, blood for blood and life for life. Will we rise up and become the corporate expression of Messiah Yahshua, and in this generation, will we represent the righteous standard of Yahweh in planet earth. This is what I hear the blood of the innocent saying;

6 6 I am calling for justice, and I will not stop crying until my life is redeemed. The blood of the innocent Judas was guilty of shedding innocent blood! Matthew 27:3-5 - Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Yahshua was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. They said, What is that to us? See to it yourself. And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself. We are the City of Refuge for the down and outcast of society! Deuteronomy 19: And if Yahweh your Elohim enlarges your territory, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land that he promised to give to your fathers provided you are careful to keep all this commandment, which I command you today, by loving the Yahweh you Elohim and by walking ever in his ways then you shall add three other cities to these three, lest innocent blood be shed in your land that the Yahweh your Elohim is giving you for an inheritance, and so the guilt of bloodshed be upon you. But if anyone hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and attacks him and strikes him fatally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities, then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and hand him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die. Paul s life was redeemed by the blood of the everlasting covenant Paul s blood guiltiness haunted him up to his final season of life, and it could have been one of the thorns in his flesh to which he referred on several occasions. Acts 20: And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all, for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of Yahweh. By Blake Higginbotham
