If you needed any additional proof that the Lord Jesus Christ is returning soon to JUDGE the living and the dead— given the depravity of the world system under humanism— look at today’s news from Belgium: instead of God and miracles and life abundantly, all demonstrated by Jesus Himself and His believers today all over the planet, euthanasia has been extended to children under 18.
Here’s the report from the Associated Press.. Please read it and then I have a question for you at the end………….
BRUSSELS (AP) — The Belgian House of Representatives has approved extending the country’s euthanasia law to very sick children under 18, with some added restrictions. Legal experts and physicians explained to The Associated Press how it would work, step by step:
STEP 1: EUTHANASIA LAW
Belgian law sets no specific timetable for euthanasia to be carried out from the time a patient first expresses the wish to be put to death. Dr. Gerlant van Berlaer, a pediatric critical care specialist at University Hospital Brussels, says in practice it takes weeks or months. A federal commission, half of whose 16 members must be medical doctors, was created by the 2002 law to examine all cases of euthanasia in Belgium and to ensure the procedures established by the law are respected.
STEP 2: INCURABLE ILLNESS
The child must have a terminal and incurable illness, with death expected to occur “within a brief period.” The child must also be experiencing “constant and unbearable physical suffering.” Like for adults desiring euthanasia, that diagnosis and prognosis must be agreed upon by the treating physician and an outsider brought in to give a second opinion.
STEP 3: UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY ARE DOING
The child is to be interviewed by a pediatric psychiatrist or psychologist, who must determine that the child possesses “the capacity of discernment” and certify that in writing.
STEP 4: GETS THE AGREEMENT OF PARENTS
The child’s physician must meet with the child’s parents or legal representatives to inform them of the results of the consultation, and ensure they are in agreement with the child’s request to be euthanized.
STEP 5: REQUEST IN WRITING
The child’s request for euthanasia, as well as the agreement by parents or legal representatives, must be delivered in writing.
STEP 6: EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FOR ALL
The child and family must be given psychological care if they ask for it.
STEP 7: EUTHANASIA
There are two methods, according to Dr. Marc Van Hoey of Antwerp who says he performs between three and 10 euthanasia procedures a year. A terminally ill person can drink a barbiturate-laden syrup themselves or a doctor can administer the drug into an intravenous tube. Death comes within minutes either way.”
Wow! Congratulations Belgium! Makes a lot of sense to the brilliant human brain that can’t allow for God’s Miracles but ALWAYS knows more than the Creator of Life itself.
And how efficient! Just like the trains running to Auschwitz!
[And speaking of Belgium and Auschwitz, only two weeks ago unidentified passengers aboard a Belgian train at rush hour used the speaker system and said: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching Auschwitz. All Jews are requested to disembark and take a short shower.”]
So here’s my question: if you were a member today of the Belgium legislature voting for more euthanasia would you have stood up publicly and protested ? Would you have had the courage? Would you have cited Jesus’ miracles? And how today we believers have His anointing to heal? (Mark 16:18). Join me today to seek the Lord for His Boldness as did the first believers in Jerusalem: “ And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage.” (Acts 4:31 Amplified version).
It’s Time to REPENT!
5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
~Matthew 18:5-6
PRAYER:
Most High God, Maker of Heaven and Earth. The blood of these innocent children cry out to you from the ground. Your Holy Word says: “For God will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for
precious is their blood in his sight.”
TAKE NOTICE O LORD! Rescue the perishing! You hate hands that shed innocent blood!
We CURSE this awful law! Woe unto the evil rulers in BELGIUM and those who supported this abomination!
“Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you.
Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.”
