Herod Slaughters Infants (Matthew 2:16-18)
16 Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry; and sending killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:
18 A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. (from Jeremiah 31:1-30)

How many with gifts the extent of Einstein's, Marie Curie's, Louis Pasteur's, Florence Nightingale's, Tesla's, etc have been snuffed out? And even if the person's only gift was a loving smile, we are so much less for their absence. SANCTITY OF LIFE!!!
Yes, the hatred of human beings and of life is conveys forcefully in abortion. It is satan's greatest victory in the world today, and the source of 99% of all evil amongst us. The CABAL would have virtually no power were it not for the actions of Americans to permit global infanticide upon demand. Nothing brings the devil greater "joy"
Thank you for posting this.
It's an interesting occasion to me for many reasons - that infanticide existed back then, and still is a problem today with abortion
also about how positions of authority and government powers are abused, etc.
edit: also the world being in conflict with Jesus even at His birth until His death
The same thoughts occurred to me today. I’ve read that story for years, but only today did I think how much it reflects the present situation in the world.
