ABORTION AND THE FULLNESS
OF THE GENTILES
by Craig Wm. Peters
For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of this secret,
that you may not be wise in your own conceits: that a hardening, in part,
has befallen Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
Romans 11:25
In every age, when the Spirit and zeal of hwhy
are being stirred to work in new and mighty
ways, when He is about to do something very
great to advance His Kingdom in the earth, it
has often come to pass that a murderous,
Adversarial force seeks to thwart His
unstoppable plan. This opposition has now been
seen en mass on at least three different
occasions. Our brief study will visit these tragic
times and provide a warning regarding where
we now stand on the timeline as the last days of
man’s 6000-year history draw to close.

In the Days of Mosheh/Moses
In the days surrounding the birth of the
prophet Mosheh (Moses), the king of Egypt
decreed all the male children of the Hebrews
should be slain. While the Scriptures indicate
the land of Egypt was motivated by their fear the
nation of Israel (hereafter “Yisrael”) would rise
up against them in war (for they were growing to
immense numbers),1 the Adversary also knew
the time of their deliverance was drawing near.
This was a time which had been spoken of by
hwhy as He prophesied to Abraham (hundreds of
years in advance) that the patriarch’s
descendants would surely be delivered out of
Egypt. 2 And so Pharaoh made a decree to move
all his Egyptian subjects to oversee the death of
every male, Hebrew newborn:
1
Exodus 1:8-22
2
Genesis 15:12-14. The “horror of great darkness” which
Abram saw was a reference to his dream of the coming
bondage in Egypt. Evidently, he saw the vision (Genesis
15:12) and then hwhy explained it (Genesis 15:12), or else
hwhy was explaining the vision as it occurred. Given this
vision was a “horror of great darkness,” it is not unlikely
that one of the things which Abram saw, long beforehand,
was the slaughter of those many male, Hebrew newborns.
1
And Pharaoh charged all his people,
saying, “Every son that is born you shall
cast into the river, and every daughter
you shall save alive.”
Exodus 1:22
While we cannot say how many Hebrew males
were killed by this unrighteous, royal dictate, the
threat was evidently real enough to cause the
mother 3 of Mosheh to place him in a basket and
hide him among the reeds at the edge of the Nile
River:
1 And a man of the house of Lewi went and
married a daughter of Lewi. 2 And the woman
conceived and bore a son. And she saw that he
was a lovely child, and she hid him three months.
3 And when she could hide him no longer, she
took an ark of wicker for him, and coated it with
tar and pitch, and put the child in it, and laid it
in the reeds by the edge of the river. 4 And his
sister stood at a distance, to know what would be
done to him. Exodus 2:1-4, ISRV
3
The name of Mosheh’s mother was “Yokebed” (Exodus
6:20, Numbers 26:59), a name which means, “hwhy is
splendor.” We find this woman’s name to be quite
amazing and deeply instructive in light of all that was to
follow. For not only would Mosheh later pray to be
honored to see the splendor of hwhy (Exodus 33:12-23),
but his request was granted in such a way that he was also
able to show forth that splendor to the people of Yisrael
and to the world. Exodus 34:1-8, 10, 28-35 The Spirit
signifies the following: The prayers which a mother offers
for her children, and the desires she has to see them inherit
greatness, are worthy, powerful, and history-making forces
which hwhy most certainly honors and uses to further His
Kingdom in the earth. Nor can we lessen the importance
of a father’s ministry in the lives of his children: Mosheh’s
father was named “Amram,” meaning “Exalted people.”
And hwhy used Mosheh, Aharon, and Miriam to begin
exalting the people of Yisrael above all the nations of the
earth! Exodus 34:10, Deuteronomy 14:2, 26:19, 28:1
The rest is history, and because of the Sovereign
Hand of an all-powerful, loving Creator, it is
history at its finest! Mosheh was named by the
pagan princess of Egypt and raised in that
nation’s idolatrous culture, but he would later
forsake the riches of Egypt 4 and be greatly used
by hwhy in bringing forth Yisrael from bondage
by the mighty, outstretched Hand of El Elyon,
the Most High El.
In the Days of eswhy
In the time surrounding the birth of the
Messiah, a similar decree was made upon the
Yisraelites in the land of Yahudah (Judah). The
Roman ruler, Herod, had learned of the Magi
that a star had announced the birth of the
Messiah, the King of Yisrael.5 Based on what he
had surmised, this evil king ordered the
execution of many newborn, male children:
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked
by the Magi, was greatly enraged, and sent forth,
and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem,
and in all its borders, from two years old and
under, according to the time which he had
accurately inquired from the Magi. 17 Then was
fulfilled that which was spoken by Yirmeyahu6
the prophet, saying, 18 “A voice was heard in
Ramah: wailing, and weeping, and great
mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and
would not be comforted, because they were not.”
Matthew 2:16-18
It is absolutely impossible to imagine the deep,
lasting agony which this horrendous slaughter
imposed upon the many unsuspecting mothers
and families who had brought forth these
beautiful children into the world. With little
warning, these innocent, young babies were
instantly taken and killed. And it all transpired
because of a reckless decree made by an angry
and power-hungry tyrant. It was a tragic event
which only shows man’s lust for power is driven
and, oftentimes, upheld by the spirit of murder.7
Knowing eswhy will one day resurrect each of

those children and draw them to Himself 8 is a
great comfort: The light of the Messiah is an
unquenchable beacon of hope9 which will always
shine in the midst of the greatest pain and
unspeakable tragedies.10
On a prophetic note, this heartrending
incident was, first of all, evidence that the
Prophet then born was “the Prophet like
[Mosheh].”11 At the time of their births, both
Mosheh and eswhy the Messiah had lawless
legislation putting a “price on their heads,” so to
speak. And in both cases, this “warrant” resulted
in the carnage of Yisraeli children. And even as
Mosheh found refuge in Egypt, so also did his
Successor, the Messiah:
13 And when they had departed, behold, the
messenger of hwhy appeared to Yoseph in a
dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child
and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain
there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek
the young child to destroy Him. 14 When he
arose, he took the young child and his mother by
night, and departed into Egypt: 15 And was
there until the death of Herod: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken from hwhy by the
prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I have called My
Son.” Matthew 2:13-15
At the End of the Age
In the time now leading into the End of the
Age, another piece of lawless legislation has
been set forth to destroy yet another multitude of
helpless infants. Much like those previous
edicts, it has been a murderous decree driven by
the unseen hand of a spiritual Adversary, and it
has resulted in the death of unspeakable scores of
innocent children. Of course, we speak of the
atrocity which has been termed “abortion” in our
modern “enlightened” times. While people and
legislators may wrangle and argue for a woman’s
“right to choose,” and while opponents of such
murder openly denounce it, none of these things
shed any light on what is really occurring.

But there are still a number of other profound
prophecies which will find their fulfillment
during this great era of 1000 years duration:
• The Torah will go forth from Tziyon into all
the earth.21
• Shabbat observance will be mandated
worldwide.22
• All nations will keep the Feasts of hwhy, the
Feasts of His Kingdom!23
The true Feasts of hwhy will finally, fully, and
forever usurp the widespread pagan holidays still
practiced even today by Christian churches who
should know better. Yet even the Galatians –
who had been personally taught by Sha’ul – were
reverting back to the alluring, pagan pull of those
demonically inspired “days and months and
seasons and years.”24 Many are endangering
their spiritual status in the Kingdom by teaching
these “days and months and seasons and years”
refer to the Feasts of hwhy. But the context of
the apostle’s letter is indisputable as it shows
Sha’ul was referring to the unacceptable,
idolatrous observances of astrological paganism
and demon worship!
The emissary’s rebuke was in regard to
those pagan observances forbidden
many times in the Torah.
These were pagan practices held fast by those
many nations who did not know hwhy.25 These
were the pagan holidays connected to the

prognosticators. These were times based upon
the false signs and ignorant superstitions
surrounding events in the heavens, and Yisrael
had been taught not to fear, or to heed, such
uninspired things26 because such faithless
“predictions” (and “instruction”) amounted to
nothing more than the doctrines of demons.27
History shows these pagan holidays have
persisted in nearly every culture all the way
down through history to the present. And it was
only these pagan observances which Yisrael had
been warned to avoid!
There shall not be found among you any
one that makes his son or his daughter to pass
through the fire, or that uses divination, or an
observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.28
Deuteronomy 18:10
And he 29 made his son pass through the fire, and
observed times, and used enchantments, and
dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he
wrought much wickedness in the sight of the

2Kings 21:6
As a Messianic believer, Sha’ul believed, kept,
and taught all things which were in the Torah
and the Prophets.30 Consequently, because the
Torah was the apostle’s basis for every true
doctrine – for “instruction in righteousness”31 –
in the very same letter, Sha’ul further warned his
audience in Galatia that partaking in the idolatry
and witchcraft32 of these pagan times and

We find it to be far from coincidence that those who
honored the observing of times – along with other rites
associated with the paganism of astrology and witchcraft –
also partook in the slaughter of their own children. Such is
the case in our days as well, and this is another reason why
we stand unable to end the outrage of abortion.

Acts 24:14. The apostle’s belief included continuing to

they reverted back to these pagan observances,34
they would not inherit the Kingdom;35 hence, his
labor over them would have then been in vain.36
The tendency to revert back to the seductive pull
of such pagan days still exists today, and even
congregations who seek to observe Shabbat have
never fully pulled away from the millennia-old,
Saturnalia festivals surrounding the winter
solstice,37 along with many other observances
which never came into the mind of hwhy.38
As far as the perpetual Feasts of hwhy, they were
established from the beginning39 and fully
upheld by the Torah as times of thanksgiving and
rejoicing. Further, when Mosheh asked hwhy to
reveal His ways,40 the Feasts were one of the
major things spoken of in answer to the
prophet’s prayer!41 And when making His ways
known to Mosheh, hwhy spoke of His Feasts.
But just as we see today, Yisrael often chose to
turn aside from the Feasts of hwhy42 in favor of
worshipping the host of heaven43 with heathen
rites that recognized the days, months, seasons,
and years of paganism!
In summary, those who teach the Feasts of
hwhy have been abolished are not only in error,
33
Galatians 5:23. The context here (5:19-23) shows us
the following: While the Law of hwhy, the Torah, was not
against the fruit of the Spirit, the Torah did certainly stand
against the deeds of the flesh! Simply put, the Torah
defines sin – the deeds of the flesh (1John 3:4) – while His
Spirit (and, thus, the fruit of the Spirit) is in absolute unity
with His Torah! 2Chronicles 24:18-22, Isaiah 48:16 >

they are also endangering their status for reward
in the Kingdom.44 The Messiah and His apostles
all kept the Feasts of hwhy and those who
advocate otherwise have simply bought into (and
are promoting) false, manmade, and lawless
arguments which are nowhere substantiated in
all of Scripture. The Feasts reveal to us the ways
of hwhy! They reveal His prophetic timeline and
His plan of salvation! And they are the
Appointed Times of rest and refreshing45 which
bring us great, spiritual renewal and inner
strengthening. If one wants to talk about
conspiracies, stick to those which are set forth in
Scripture: It was the lawless scheme of the spirit
of the anti-Messiah which thought to change the
times and the Law46 in opposition to the Feasts
of the Most High!47 But that spirit will soon be
cut off from the earth,48 and the Feasts of hwhy
will be proclaimed, honored, and observed in the
1000-year Kingdom Rule of the Messiah!49

attributable to what will be an immense increase

general harmony throughout all the earth.53
This great peace will so mightily prevail because
the ways of hwhy will be established worldwide!
Of that great time, it has been recorded in many
places throughout the Torah and the Prophets:
“The earth will be filled with
the knowledge of hwhy as the
waters cover the seas!”54

Are You Contemplating Abortion?
We understand there are many women who
may not realize the spiritual conspiracy behind
abortion. If you are considering abortion, may
the writer ask you a question?
Will you allow yourself and your child
to be devalued and used as miniscule pawns
in this transient and lawless scheme as
though neither one of you have any
worth or redeeming value?
The Messiah placed immense value upon the life
of a human being.57 If you are considering an
abortion, we ask you to first contemplate what
this brief study has put forth: the Creator is
about to do great things in the earth, and your
child has the potential to be a participant in the
next installment of those eternal plans and
purposes! Do you realize that, throughout
history, many women have desired and prayed
for children? These were infertile women who
otherwise could not have borne them: they were
unable to become pregnant apart from a healing
miracle!58 When any of those children were
granted, it was known as a great miracle. But
you are already carrying your child. You already
have your miracle! Further, many everyday
women have also desired the utmost for their
children, and they have offered deep, heartfelt
prayers that the Heavenly Father would use their
child/children for great service in His Kingdom.
Maybe you do not feel great right about now, but
such an earnest prayer on behalf of your child
will make you great in the eyes of your Creator!
And nothing can stop you from offering that
prayer this very moment!
Do you see there is an immense battle for the life
of your child? Will you contemplate, even now,
offering up such prayers on behalf of your child?
We are praying you will decide to offer your son
or daughter, in prayer, before the Heavenly
Throne of the One who died for you! This very
moment you can kneel before hwhy in prayer and
ask Him to use your child to fulfill his or her
57
Matthew 12:12
58
1Samuel 1:1-28, Luke 1:5-13
purpose. You can kneel before hwhy in prayer
and ask Him to use your child to greatly
establish the Kingdom of light! Desiring your
child to know a life of love and service in the
eternal Kingdom of the Creator is easily one of
the greatest gifts you could ever give that
precious, young life! Let this be the time you
offer a sincere, unrelenting, and history-making
prayer on behalf of your child! The Spirit of the
Almighty, the Sovereign Creator will certainly
bless, and even strengthen, your determination!
How Can We Obtain Lasting
Results in Our Opposition to Abortion?
There are many nonviolent ways to oppose
abortion, and we continue to engage in as many
of those as possible according to the leading of
the Spirit. Our ultimate plan for opposing the
wickedness of these deeds and for turning back
the tide of abortion involves you as well as every
other believer in the Messiah. The truth which
will fully undermine the abortion movement is
seen in a Scripture from the Proverbs:
Those who forsake the Torah praise
the wicked, but such as keep the
Torah strive with them.
Proverbs 28:4
Those who want real results in ending the moral
scourge of abortion, should join with us to
galvanize all the people of the Most High: We
must begin uniting into one by setting regular
times of corporate fasting and prayer. And this
should be done without any political posturing
and without announcing it far and wide,
especially to the liberal news media! When
referring to fasting and prayer, Sha’ul wrote:
“The weapons of our warfare …
(are) mighty before Elohim, to the
casting down of strongholds.”
2Corinthians 10:4
Fasting and prayer will bring down the
strongholds of abortion: and there is no need
to resort to violence, or retribution, when
the Most High will fight for us!
We can be sure of one thing: hwhy will answer
those prayers and He will certainly close the
doors of every abortion clinic forever! And He
7
will do so in short order, if our efforts are
unceasing. If our prayers do not result in the
nation and its legislators repealing the 1973 Roe
v. Wade decision, hwhy Himself will arise to
forever close the doors of every abortion clinic.
He already did so in New Orleans,59 but the
rebellious do not understand why they are
smitten,60 and failing to ponder the “why,” they
reopened the doors of those horrendous murder
chambers. But this lack of repentance, this
failure to turn away from such deeds, will only
lead to further demise and a full end of our
country, just as hwhy has spoken through the
prophet Hosea:
… the people that do not understand will fall.
Hosea 4:14
Having ignored the Most High’s Hand of
Judgment upon that city – so steeped in
unchecked immorality, sodomy, and lawlessness
– this nation now ripens for far greater
catastrophes which will be exponentially more
destructive. And apart from national repentance,
those calamities will certainly come upon this
country.61
When hwhy arises to ultimately judge the United
States, He will shut down all the abortion clinics,
and He will use every means at His disposal:
Hurricanes, massive earthquakes, volcanoes,
tidal waves, famine, pestilence, and perhaps,
even fire from heaven. Invading armies, too,
may well be part of the plan to humble this
nation for its unbreakable pride.
This is the inescapable truth of wrath and
judgment which those who promote abortion will
most assuredly have to face in the not-too-distant
future. The psalmist wrote the following about
the driving force behind the wrath of the
Almighty:
59
We speak of hurricane Katrina which struck New
Orleans, Louisiana on August 29, 2005.
60
Psalm 10:5, Isaiah 47:7, Malachi 2:2
61
Amos 9:8. See the article, “An Open Commentary on
the Sixties Generation: And a Lesson in Counting to
Forty” – a study which warns of the 40-year probation that
often transpires before pending judgment falls.

It is time for hwhy to act, for they
have broken Your Torah.
Psalm 119:126
Instead of trusting in our own arm, let believers
unite with fasting and prayer; let us be still in His
great Presence and know that He is Elohim.62
He will do far more to act for His Name’s sake
than we could ever do by ourselves. His wrath
and judgment can close the abortion clinics far
faster and far more efficiently than all of our
manmade efforts combined. And He promises to
speedily answer such prayer!63
Conclusion
While abortion shows us the telling
connection between sexual lust and murder, it
further proves the spiritual forces of wickedness
desire to fully subdue this earth under the
kingdom of darkness as ha’Satan makes every
effort to forestall “the fullness of the Gentiles.”
For when this specific number of souls has been
added to those who are being saved, the
Deliverer will come to fully restore a renewed
heavens and a renewed earth, wherein dwells
righteousness!64
25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant,
brothers, of this secret, that you may not be wise
in your own conceits: that a hardening, in part,
has befallen Yisrael until the fullness of the
Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Yisrael
shall be saved: even as it is written,
“There shall come out of Tziyon the Deliverer;
He shall turn away irreverence from Ya’acob.”
Romans 11:25-26
We pray all of our readers will work to announce
the Good News of the coming Kingdom. For the
Messiah will soon appear in great splendor to
build up Tziyon and to establish the Kingdom
worldwide. But He will begin this takeover from
the Heavens by pouring out His fearsome wrath
via apocalyptic judgments characterized by
great, overwhelming cataclysms. These
destructive judgments will permanently crush

The heavens and earth will be renewed because they
will have been cleansed by fire! 2Peter 3:10-13

any and all remaining opposition to the
immutable ways of hwhy El Shaddai,65 and His
Torah will be set forth as the Law. Abortion and
its associates in rebellion will then be disallowed
forever. The coming Kingdom is truly “the
Good News.”

Postscript:
For Those Who Would More Fully
Oppose the Lawlessness of Abortion
We certainly commend those who protest and
minister outside the abortion clinics. This is
truly an honorable, ongoing effort, and many
young lives have been saved as these dedicated
believers work to inform the mothers who, with
child, are sleepily staggering to the slaughter.
Still, we believe that unceasing, nationwide
fasting and prayer is the most effective way to
forever end the immoral scourge of lust, greed,
and murder which fuel the fires of abortion.
However, we must also point out the terrible
contradiction which is at play amongst so many
who oppose abortion: The anti-abortion
populace, though deeply sincere and obviously
well-meaning, is itself still advocating anti-Torah
lawlessness. Our Messiah kept and taught the
ageless, immutable Torah,66 and we are to follow
in His footsteps:67 We are to walk as He
walked.68
And eswhy indicates our reward (or loss of
reward) will be rendered based on whether or not
we obeyed the commandments of the Torah.69
65
Psalm 2:7-9, Revelation 2:26-27
66
Matthew 5:17-20
67
1Peter 2:21
68
1John 2:4-6
69
Matthew 5:17-20. The Torah defines the will of hwhy
which are to seek daily through prayer and lifestyle.
Matthew 6:9-10, 7:12-23, 19:16-17, Romans 2:13, 17-18,
3:31, 8:4, Revelation 12:14, 14:12, 22:14
Obviously, then, none of these commandments
have been “done away with” as is claimed today
by the misguided Evangelical population. The
preaching of lawlessness in the church has led to
even greater societal lawlessness, yet most
Christians stand helpless before the tide of
iniquity as they themselves lack the knowledge
and discernment between obedience and
disobedience.70
According to the apostles, the Torah defines
sin. Yochanan/John wrote:
Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness,
and sin is lawlessness.
1John 3:4, ISRV
For those who may not realize, “lawlessness”
means transgression of the Torah. And other
versions say this very thing:
Whoever commits sin transgresses
also the Law; for sin is the
transgression of the Law.
Having upheld the immutability of the Torah,
and having stated it to be the standard which will
determine every believer’s level of obedience
and reward,71 eswhy then warns He will cast
away72 the lawless believers from His Presence
at His appearing:
21 Not every one that says to me, Master,
Master, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven;
but he that does the will of My Father who is in
heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day,
Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your
Name? and in Your Name have cast out demons?
and in Your Name done many wonderful works?
23 And then I will profess to them, I never knew
you: Depart from Me, you that work
lawlessness. Matthew 7:21-23
Given the Torah is to be the Standard by which
we are to be judged, how can it, by any means,
have been “abolished” (as is so widely, but
erroneously claimed in Evangelical circles)?
Sha’ul wrote likewise, indicating only doers of
70
The context of Hosea 4:6 defines lack of knowledge as
a deficiency which is directly related to the truth of the
Torah. See also Hosea 8:12.

the Torah would be justified so as to partake in
the First Resurrection:
For not the hearers of the Torah are
righteous in the sight of Elohim, but the
doers of the law shall be declared right.
Romans 2:13, ISRV
Sin is the transgression of the Torah, because the
Torah defines sin:
Therefore, by the works of the Torah no flesh
will be justified in His sight; for through
the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:20
To better explain the above text – which so many
misinterpret to mean the Law was abolished73 –
we use an excellent analogy (now slightly
modified) which was heard from someone else
many years ago: This Scripture (Romans 3:20)
shows us the Torah is a spiritual mirror. Now,
in the physical realm, the only thing a mirror has
the capability of doing is helping us to see the
dirt on our faces! But would anyone, having
seen the dirt, then proceed to take the mirror and,
in an attempt to remove the dirt, begin rubbing
their face with the mirror? Of course not!
Removing the dirt is simply not
the mirror’s purpose!
The mirror’s only purpose is to point out the
blemish! Having used the mirror to locate/detect
the blemish, most people would normally
employ soap and water to then clean the dirt
from their faces!
So it is with sin and the Torah: the Torah is the
“mirror” which the Spirit uses to point out the
dirt, the sin, which needs removing! But, like
73
Anti-abortionists! If the Law has really been abolished,
then it is also okay for people today to do as the pagans of
old: it is perfectly acceptable for them to cause their sons
and daughters to pass through the fires of abortion and to
be offered to Molech! Of course, we know this is not the
case, since hwhy never changes, and since it is His Torah
which defines sin – including murder and paganism!
Those who oppose abortion simply cannot have it both
ways: If abortion is wrong (and it is!), then so is every
other violation of the Torah. But it is contradictory to
oppose abortion without advocating the very Torah which
our Messiah lived, taught, and upheld.
the mirror, the Torah has no power and no ability
to cleanse! It only points out the blemish:
… “through the Torah
comes the knowledge of sin.”
But removing the sin calls for the only spiritual
“soap and water” available: the blood of the
Lamb, the blood of eswhy the Messiah, as
applied by the Spirit of hwhy. Through the Torah
comes the knowledge of sin: the Law defines
sin, but it can never cleanse/justify. It is only the
blood of the Messiah which cleanses us from all
sin.74 But having shown the Torah defines sin
(Romans 3:20), Sha’ul would later write:
1 What shall we say then? Shall we
continue in sin, that favor may abound? 2 Be it
not so! We who died to sin, how shall
we any longer live in it?
Romans 6:1-2
Being justified, or declared righteous, by the
blood the of the Messiah, true believers are no
longer free to continue in sin; that is, they are no
longer free to continue violating the Torah! And
this is precisely what all the first century apostles
taught! This further explains why Sha’ul wrote
those who possessed true faith would also be
those who were upholding the Torah!
Do we then nullify the Torah through faith?
By no means: but we establish the Torah.
Romans 3:31
How do believers establish the Torah? By
following the Messiah, who taught that, if we are
seeking first His Kingdom and His
righteousness,75 we will also uphold even “the
least” commandment of the Torah.76 Enjoining
his readers to be “doers of the word” Ya’acob
(James) would later call the Torah (as taught by
the Messiah), “the Law of liberty!”77 And James
called the Torah “the Law of liberty” in direct
reference to the Savior’s words:
31 eswhy, therefore, said to the Yahudim
who believed Him, “If you abide in My
74

75

10
word, you are truly My disciples; 32 and
you shall know the truth, and the
truth shall set you free.”
John 8:31-32
If we abide in His word, we discover walking in
His commandments brings true liberty.78 Many
sincere believers in our day are of the opinion
that walking by faith is, somehow, contrary to
upholding the Law. Yet quite the opposite is
true. It is only those who are of the faith of
Abraham who are heirs according to the
promise.79 And did Abraham uphold the Torah
through a life characterized by his continually
walking in faith? This is what hwhy spoke over
the legacy left behind by Abraham’s faith:
4 And I will make your seed to multiply as the
stars of heaven, and will give to your seed all
these countries: and in your seed shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed: 5 Because that
Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge:
My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.
Genesis 26:4-5
To our many sincere, dedicated, and deeply
committed fellows who oppose abortion:
We pray you will begin to walk in a still greater
faith, love, and obedience as you heighten
your upright stance against this
immoral, murderous outrage.
We pray as hwhy pours out His Sprit upon all
flesh that He will grant many sincere, well-
meaning souls to more fully understand and walk
in the great truths of His immutable, ageless
Torah.80
