Horton Hears a Hoosier? THE MERCY SEAT

Recently, a movie was released worldwide entitled "Dr.Seuss's Horton Hears a Who", based off of the classic children's book. We really believe that this was a prophetic story about the ending of abortion, when an elephant named Horton can hear what no one else can hear--the sound of these little people called, The Whos, who live in the microscopic town of Who-ville. In the book, we also find a kangaroo who wants to kill all the little Whos, because he cannot see or hear them. He doesn't believe they exist.The theme of the whole book amazingly is, "A person's a person, no matter how small!" And the remedy for the crisis is that every voice must be raised loudly and urgently to rescue all the little unborn Whos. Horton implores the mayor "to CALL a big meeting, get everyone out, make every Who holler, make every Who shout!"

We believe Horton represents the church! Can you hear the sound of the Who's?

In 2008, America finds herself in a place similar to that of 1860…a nation laden with the guilt of her innocent dead. In the 1860’s, the issue was slavery. Today, we bear the guilt of 50 million unborn babies. The heart of the Lord is every bit as moved today as it was then.

Abraham Lincoln, speaking at his second inaugural address, drew a direct connection between the heart of God and the Civil War…

“Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue . . . until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”

America is facing a dire crisis. If 600,000 men died in the battlefields of the Civil War-both north and south, black and white-for the shed blood of the slaves, then what will it mean to America-black and white and north and south-if God brings a day of reckoning for the shed blood of 50 million babies?

In the twilight hours before God’s most severe judgment on Egypt, the blood of the lamb applied to the doorpost caused judgement to “pass over” that home. Jesus is our Passover Lamb, and it is His blood that must be applied without delay to the doorposts of our national guilt.
