World War III 

   “God then said, ‘What have you done?  Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!’” (Gen 4: 10) 

   Those killed in World War I, the war to end all wars – over 20 million.

   Those killed in World War II, the war after the war to end all wars – 80 – 85 million.

   Those killed in World War III, the war against the innocent – over 63 BILLION world-wide since 1950 and still counting.  (source Human Life International, HLI.org).

   Though many won’t admit it, we are engaged in another world war.  Unlike the previous world wars, it is not nation against nation and there are no military weapons involved.  It is an inhuman, barbaric war against the most innocent life of all, unborn children in the womb.  Sons and daughters, children that could have had a long and happy life; sacrificed to the god of “free sex”.

   I wonder how many of those lost would have grown up to be exceptional in their chosen field of study.  Perhaps the medical researcher who unlocked the key to curing cancer.  Or the engineer who discovered the secret of fusion energy, providing unlimited, safe power to the world.

   Were there any new Monets, van Goughs or da Vinci’s that never had the opportunity to take up the brush or create a David or Pieta?  A Bach or a Beethoven whose music the world will never hear.  We’ll never know, they were all cast aside for the "crime" of being inconvenient.

   God saw Cain’s murder of Abel as an abomination.  What must He be saying about the mass-murder of billions of His children in the womb.  Surely, their blood cries out to Him.
