John the Baptist was chosen by God from the womb. He was the
answer to the persistent prayers of his elderly parents. They prayed for a son,
but God made him to be His prophet.
Luke 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the
Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with
the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
Luke 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he
turn to the Lord their God.
Luke 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Luke 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
The parents may not have seen John as he baptized people for
repentance in the Jordan River. God sees and calls his people into service. John
had a special calling to prepare the way for the coming Messiah. Repentant
hearts bring restoration to families to the community and to the
nation.
Some do not want children but I wanted my children. Some
people were mistakes, not planned while others have aborted their mistakes. Let
the babies live, God has a purpose for them to fulfill. He has called them from
the womb to be his witnesses.
Jeremiah was called from the womb.
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou
camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet
unto the nations.

Jer 1:7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Jer 1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Jer 1:9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

We are chosen before the womb.
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Jesus' birth was foretold
Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.
The everlasting king will come from David's family and he will bring many
to God's family to a restored earthly kingdom where there are no harmful
creatures.
Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a
Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isa 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isa 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
Isa 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Isa 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

All are foreknown of God and are his creation. A woman has rights over her
own body, but not of the babies life. God has placed the baby in the womb for
his purpose. We are not to interfere with his chosen vessels. Those who respond
to the calling of God are his chosen. Be at peace with God. If you have sinned
and made mistakes in the past, Jesus will forgive you and restore you. Come to
Jesus as the chosen of God. He loves you and will receive you.
