The Children of Israel prospered in Egypt until a new king saw them as a threat. Their population had greatly increased and they had not interbred with the Egyptians. The Hebrew midwives were ordered to kill all male babies of the Hebrews. By killing the male children a generation would be weakened. The devil was involved because he did not know when the Messiah would be born and as the days of Herod all male babies were a threat.
Exo 1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
Exo 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Exo 1:18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
Exo 1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
Exo 1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Two things I see right off; they told a lie to save lives and they obeyed God over the commands of government authority. If evil replaces that which is good, we obey God.
When women's "rights" mean they can kill their babies, then God says no. When government is promoting the killing of infants in and out of the womb, we need to obey God and not man. If a nation promotes their version of what is right and wrong, we must fear and obey God. Now is the time to study the Bible and put it in your heart, for a time is coming that the people of God will be called the enemy and their Bibles will be called evil.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
May we stay in the light of God's word and stand up for what he says is good and right. Our nation is in a spiritual battle that is being fought in our cities and streets where violence and hate are seen as the right thing and our "one nation under God" motto is seen as the enemy. We have the good news, let it be heard and keep the faith. May we remain a blessed nation.
