Deuteronomy28:53 and 57
Blessed people have many children (Deuteronomy 28:4, 11). They have the freedom to train those children in the ways of the Lord (6:7). By contrast, cursed people have few children (28:18). Cursed people eventually serve “a nation of fierce countenance that does not … show favor to the young,” i.e. their children (28:50). Due to sieges in war, they consume their own children (28:53-57).
T
he People of Israel were not able to keep the divine guidelines and Deuteronomy 28:53, 28:57 supports the failure of the People of Israel. So, in effect, this is what happens when you TURN AWAY from God, and what God was working to prevent.
2Kings 6:28-29
The context for this verse is the Syrians laying siege against the northern kingdom of Israel’s capital city of Samaria and using severe famine as a weapon. Conditions had become so bad in the besieged city, that people were actually eating heads of donkeys, dove droppings and yes, even their own children.
The cannibalism events are part of the history of the People of Israel and Jesus Christ makes clear that they have broken the covenant with God. Jesus Christ provides the fulfillment of the law (Matthew 5:17-20) and the new and final covenant of God: “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:28).
Cannibalism is mentioned in the Bible. First of all, as a warning by Moses, that if the people of Israel would turn their backs on God, things would get so bad that eventually people would eat their own children. This came true during the reign of king Jehoram, when Samaria is under siege. He is asked to judge between to women that had agreed to eat their children together, but only one keeps her word. Shortly after this happens, God has mercy on the people and makes the army of Aram flee, and the people can eat from the plentiful food the army left behind.
Once again,
this is a result of turning away from God, clearly not something he approves of, in fact it was something he was he actively tried to prevent.
Isaiah 9:20
To eat the flesh of anyone, denotes to seek one‘s life, and is descriptive of blood-thirsty enemies. If we translate the language literally it is found that "shall eat" is actually "shall destroy." To eat the flesh of anyone,
denotes to seek one's life, and is descriptive of blood-thirsty enemies; This does not actually mean human flesh. It means the man turns against his neighbors on the right and left. He destroys his friends who were the only help he had, since he had turned away from God.
And once again, this is a direct result from TURNING AWAY from God and disobedience
Spiritually deceived through idolatry, cursed people also sacrifice their children to an unknown God (Leviticus 20:2-5, Jeremiah 32:35, Ezekiel 16:21, 20:26-31, 23:37). This act of abortion or infanticide is spiritual prostitution and an abomination, worthy of death. It defiles God’s sanctuary and blasphemes his holy name (Leviticus 20:3). God says he will set his face against all those who commit child sacrifice – them and their families (20:5). God will also judge those who hide their eyes from people who commit such wickedness, instead of justly using capital punishment on them (20:5). Anyone who commits abortion will not receive answers to prayer (Ezekiel 20:31). God is making them desolate so that they will know he is God (20:26).
America today is cursed. Families used to have 10-12 children. Now they have two, one, or none.
The rest are murdered via abortion, which is nothing other than a blood sacrifice to demons. America isn’t raising her own children either, except in homeschooling families. She also serves a fierce government that does not favor the young. We see this trend in sex education, atheism and homosexuality in schools and the media, and the DCF. If she continues in this trend, America may go into captivity and consume her own children due to war, famine, or siege.
