"America's Rabbi" Warns: "Enormous, Humanic and Historic Upheaval" Rapidly Approaching
Interview with Rabbi Daniel Lapin on How Today's World Compares to the Days of Noah
By John-Henry Westen
WASHINGTON, DC, June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The recent death of Mrs. Ruth Graham, the beloved wife of preacher Billy Graham, has caused renewed reflection on her oft quoted comment: "If God does not judge America soon, he'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah." Indeed, with the culture war raging on abortion and same-sex 'marriage', many a Christian has wondered about a coming purgation - a cleansing as in the time of Noah and the flood.
It may come as a surprise to some, but Orthodox Jews too have a belief in a coming purgation. As the man popularly known as "America's Rabbi" told LifeSiteNews.com, we are "moving towards some kind of enormous, humanic and historic upheaval."
Nationally acclaimed speaker and best-selling author, Rabbi Daniel Lapin spoke with LifeSiteNews.com about his newly released audio series "The Gathering Storm: Decoding the Secrets of Noah", in which he looks at the similarities between the time of Noah and our present day.
Rabbi Lapin is the founder and leader of Toward Tradition - a ground-breaking coalition of Jews, Christians and other Americans united in fighting secular fundamentalism and promoting traditional, faith-based American principles of constitutional and limited government, the rule of law, representative democracy, free markets, a strong military, and a moral public culture.
Key to interpreting the Bible (the Old Testament) suggests the Rabbi, is the Hebrew language. In that language, he notes, the Bible tells that in the time just before the flood there were aborted babies. "Everyone is familiar with that section just before the flood, of giants," said Rabbi Lapin. "The King James translation refers to these people as giants - one thing, in the Hebrew, it becomes immediately very clear is that what we really are talking about is aborted people, aborted fetuses."
"In Hebrew," explained the Rabbi there is "one word for giants (and) aborted fetuses." Comparing the time of Noah to the current day, the Rabbi said, "Babies that are aborted eventually bring about a culture of death that destroys society."
Asked if Jews, like some Christians, feel a time of purgation is coming, Rabbi Lapin replied bluntly, "Yes, it is extremely intense."
The Rabbi stressed however that a Judeo-Christian view of the end of time is a hopeful one, in contrast to the secular view of the end of time which sees only doom and gloom. "There is a dichotomy here between a secular world view in which the end of time is hopeless," Rabbi Lapin told LifeSiteNews.com. "It is doomed. It ends in oblivion . . . Right now it is global warming, a few years ago it was nuclear winter. Before that it was that we were all going to starve and die naked and cold when Thomas Malthus at the end of the 18th century made his predictions."
"The secular world view will generate an end of time picture of hopelessness and doom and by contrast a Biblical world view of both Jews and Christians shows an end of time picture that, while it may have its turbulent threshold, is a time of some kind of unimaginable solution to all human problems."
Asked, if it would be "a time of renewal of goodness on earth?," the Rabbi replied, "Exactly right. Yes."
As for God having to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah for not acting on America for its sins, Rabbi Lapin suggests God is in fact acting on America. "God doesn't necessarily act towards every culture in the same way," he said. "Every culture that adopts abortion and homosexuality as normal is a culture that begins to decline and eventually vanish off the stage of world history - that is God acting."
"That is precisely the point. It is not that hard to see in many ways the fortunes of the US of A are simply not where they were before these twin scourges became prevalent. Yes, He is acting - He is not going to have to apologize to Sodom at all. He is being very consistent. He may not be burying us in thunderbolts and mountains of salt but the damage that the US of A is enduring is no less fatal."
Rabbi Lapin sees another striking similarity between our day and the time of the Biblical flood. Noting the political situation in the United States, where the major argumentation seems focussed on abortion and same-sex 'marriage, Rabbi Lapin observes: "Undoubtedly, it was very significant, that never before in a presidential election has there been this much focus on the faith and beliefs of the candidates which again brings us back to this Noah like period in which divisions between people are lining up very clearly on a spiritual level."
While Rabbi Lapin rejects any attempt to fix a date on the coming upheaval, he does say that it is rapidly approaching. "What is unquestionably crystal clear is that time and history is accelerating. Things happen more quickly now than ever before so it is moving rapidly towards this event, whatever it will look like."

Bobby Cutts Jr. Charged with Two Murders - Girlfriend and Unborn Child
By Elizabeth O’Brien
CANTON, Ohio, June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Canton policeman, 30-year old Bobby Cutts Jr., was charged today with the murder of his girlfriend, Jessie Davis. He was also separately charged with a second murder—that of Jessie’s unborn child. Davis was nearly nine months pregnant with a baby girl, due on July 3.
Davis’ mother alerted the police after she found her daughter’s 2-year old son alone in a devastated apartment last weekend, the Associated Press (AP) reports. Policemen and thousands of friends participated in a week-long search for the young woman until her remains and those of her unborn child were finally discovered in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on Saturday afternoon.
Unlike Canada, where an unborn child is not considered to be a person, the United States Unborn Victims of Violence Act (UVVA), also known as “Laci and Conner’s Law” (2004), declares that all children “in utero” are considered a second—and distinct—victim of violence in the case of the mother being injured.
The UVVA declares that any person who causes “the death of, or bodily injury to a child who is in utero at the time the conduct takes place, is guilty of a separate offense,” and will receive the punishment “prescribed by the President for that conduct, had that injury or death occurred to the unborn child’s mother.”
While Cutts has not been charged with a federal crime, he has been charged under a similar Ohiio fetal homicide law. Douglas Johnson, Legislative Director for the National Right to Life Committee informed LifeSiteNews.com that such laws are in effect in 35 of the 50 states. For more information see: http://www.nrlc.org/Unborn_victims/Statehomicidelaws092302.html
In this double murder case, the laws seems to have educated the media, with several major North American news agencies referring to Davis’ unborn child using typically pro-life terminology. Fox news and the New York Times, for example, used the words “unborn child.” CNN also described the baby as an “unborn child, a girl she (Davis) planned to call Chloe.” ABC referred to Cutts as being charged with “murder in the deaths of Davis and her unborn child”.
Near the place where the body was found, the AP reports, someone posted a sign commemorating the mother as well as her unborn child. The sign read, “God bless you Jessie and Chloe, forever in our hearts.”

Immensely Popular Quebec Folk Song Laments Abortion and the Modern Culture of Sterility
Song is one of the most frequently downloaded iTunes in Canada
By Elizabeth O’Brien
MONTREAL, June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – One of the most frequently downloaded iTunes in Canada, a French-language song entitled “Dégénerations,” vividly portrays a woman’s sorrow and pain after having an abortion.
Written by the Quebec folk-rock band, “Mes Aïeux” (My Ancestors), the song compares the simple, yet fruitful lifestyle of “ton arrière-arrière-grand-père” (or “your great-great-grandfather”) to the stress and sterility of modern day life. Mirroring this idea, the music starts with a simple drum beat that gradually accelerates to an almost frantic gallop.
Using specific examples, the song describes how life becomes empty and unnatural when it is severed from one’s land and heritage. Verse three, for example, shows the contrast between how, “Your great great grandmother, she had 14 kids,” whereas “Your mom didn’t want any, you were an accident.”
The song also relates how each generation is growing increasingly hostile to life. In verse four, it addresses the present generation and specifically refers to abortion as a traumatizing mistake for a woman.
The French lyrics run as follows:
“Et pis toi, ma p’tite fille, tu changes de partenaire tout l’temps
Quand tu fais des conneries, tu t’en sauves en avortant.”
“Mais y’a des matins, tu te réveilles en pleurant
Quand tu rêves la nuit d’une grande table entourée d’enfants.”
Roughly translated into English, the words say:
“Now you, my little lady, change partners all the time
When you screw up you save yourself by aborting
But there are mornings when you awake crying
When you dream in the night of a large table surrounded by little ones.”
The song title is a play on words that signifies not only the passing of generations, but the moral degeneration as well. Since the 1960’s, Quebec has been steadily moving away from its Catholic heritage, and the province’s birthrate is now one of the lowest in the Western world. As a consequence Quebec is predicted to experience a 50% decline in the real growth rate of its GDP within the next decade.
Nevertheless, only last year 10,000 young Québecois Catholics—the “true army of 10,000 fervent Catholics” according to Journal de Québec—gathered in Quebec City to celebrate the 11th anniversary of Evangelization 2000. Such an indication of revival had not occurred in Quebec for over twenty years (see http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2006/may/06052606.html).
Another sign of increasing cultural awareness, Mes Aïeux’s album “En Famille” (With the Family), featuring “Dégénerations”, won a Félix Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 2005. By December of the next year, “En Famille” sold 200,000 copies and was certified double platinum.

Pro-Life Position Showing Steady Rise Among US Voters
By Hilary White
LODA, Illinois, June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A study by a private opinion research firm has shown that since the height of the “abortion wars” in the 1980’s and 90’s, public opinion in the US has made dramatic changes towards the pro-life position.
Christopher Blunt, co-author of the study and founder of Overbrook Research, wrote that the analysis shows a complete turnaround in the support for abortion in the last fifteen years. The study, Turnaround on Abortion, cites the debate over partial birth abortion and the move towards a less confrontational approach as one reason for a “dramatic” change in the political climate surrounding abortion.
The study examines changes in pro-life/pro-choice self-identification using 30,000 survey interviews from Missouri from 1992-2006. Percentages of abortion support among US voters, the study showed, have inverted. Respondents were asked: “On the debate over abortion policy, do you consider yourself to be pro-life, pro-choice, or somewhere in between?”
The study’s authors write, “In 1992…fewer than one-third (30%) of Missouri voters called themselves pro-life, with just 26% admitting to be strongly pro-life. By contrast, 43% called themselves pro-choice, with 34% describing themselves as strongly pro-choice. In other words, there were more strong pro-choice advocates than total pro-lifers.”
Since then the data shows that pro-life self-identification has grown to 41% with 30% identifying as “pro-choice.” “In other words,” writes Blunt, “the turnaround has been nearly complete.”
Of particular interest is a shift among the various demographic groups. In 1992, young women were the most strongly pro-abortion. “Now,” Blunt says, “they are the most strongly pro-life.” Voters who rarely or never attend church services, and those with post-graduate degrees, also overwhelmingly self-identifying as “pro-choice” in 1992, had largely shifted away from abortion support by 2006.
The authors speculate that in addition to the prominence of the partial birth abortion debate, the reason for the turn-around is, paradoxically, the Clinton administration’s Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The authors suggest that the Act shifted the emphasis away from confrontational politics and blockades, to peaceful prayer vigils and sidewalk counseling.
“As grisly details of partial-birth abortion procedures replaced confrontational (and often violent) clinic protests on the evening news, voters seemed to have changed their minds about who the ‘abortion extremists’ were.”

No Theological Opposition to Homosexual Unions, but No Same-Sex Blessings: Canadian Anglicans
By Hilary White
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – At their General Synod in Winnipeg this week, the Canadian branch of the Worldwide Anglican Communion has unexpectedly voted against blessing same-sex unions by the thinnest possible margin, despite strong support for the move among the laity and clergy and many bishops.
Twenty-one members of the House of Bishops voted against the motion to bless homosexual partnerings, ensuring that the motion failed by a slim majority of 21-19. The proposal had to pass all three governing Houses, including the laity and clergy, to be accepted by the Church in general.
An earlier vote Sunday at the Synod agreed that same-sex blessings “do not conflict with the church's core doctrine”. Clergy and the laity combined and voted 152-92 in favour of the earlier motion, with the bishops voting 21-19 in favour. The second motion proposed to give individual dioceses the option of letting their priests perform blessing ceremonies.
“We now have theological agreement that same-sex unions are not in opposition to doctrine and that's a big deal,” Chris Ambidge, president of the Toronto chapter of gay advocacy group Integrity told the Associated Press.
A group of retired bishops pleaded last week for the delegates to approve the blessings and then move forward to more critical matters such as poverty and global warming. Failure to do so, they said, “will only continue to draw us away from issues which are gradually destroying God's creation.”
Rev. Charlie Masters, however, director of Anglican Essentials, a group of conservative Anglicans, disagreed with the notion that whether or not to permit same-sex blessings is a petty issue. He told CanWest News Service, “The debate around the blessing of same-sex unions really is a discussion on whether the Bible is the word of God still today or not.”
“This is why the (global leaders) of the Anglican Communion have been so strong in their dealing with both the Anglican Church of Canada and the Episcopal Church of the United States.”
The 77-million member Anglican Church still officially adheres to Christian doctrines on sexual purity, continence and natural marriage, but a shift in practice since the 1960’s has led to the abandonment of these teachings by large portions of the laity and clergy alike. Since the election of the openly active homosexual Gene Robinson as Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire in the US, what had been an unspoken drift away from Christian teaching has threatened to create an open schism.
Much hangs on the decision of the Archbishop of Canterbury and titular head of the Communion, Rowan Williams, about whom to invite to the Lambeth Conference upcoming in 2008. Last week, a spokesman for Williams said that the Archbishop had no intention of banning the Canadian branch from Lambeth, no matter what decisions came out of the Winnipeg Synod.

New York Times Runs Column Noting Pro-Abortion Position has Led to Democrat Defeat
By John Jalsevac
NEW YORK, June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – One of the most liberal newspapers in the country, the New York Times, has run an op-ed piece that argues that by standing immovably by the “pro-choice” position, the Democratic party and presidential candidates are alienating the fundamental voter demographic that might ensure the party victory in 2008.
In a piece entitled “Why Pro-Choice is a Bad Choice for Democrats”, Melinda Henneberger (author of “If They Only Listened to Us") points out that the common belief of the liberal Democrat—that abortion is a settled issue and is only opposed by an “extreme” minority—is false.
“Over 18 months, I traveled to 20 states listening to women of all ages, races, tax brackets and points of view speak at length on the issues they care about heading into ’08,” writes Henneberger. “They convinced me that the conventional wisdom was wrong about the last presidential contest, that Democrats did not lose support among women because ‘security moms’ saw President Bush as the better protector against terrorism. What first-time defectors mentioned most often was abortion.”
Many die-hard women Democratic party members, says Henneberger, have been alienated by the party by a void of candidates that are on-side with what they perceive to be an issue of life and death, a void that is filled by Republican candidates, such as Fred Thompson.
Instead the Democratic party must begin to win back pro-life voters, says Henneberger, in the first place by giving such voters “respect.” “As it turns out,” she writes, “you cannot call people extremists and expect them to vote for you. But real respect would require an understanding that what supporters of abortion rights genuinely see as a hard-earned freedom, opponents genuinely see as a self-inflicted wound and—though I can feel some of you tensing as you read this—a human rights issue comparable to slavery.”
While Henneberger stops short of saying that perhaps Democrats might consider actually siding with pro-life advocates on the issue, she does point out that the liberal devotion to the “right” to abortion on demand in all circumstances is damaging to the public view of Democrats.
“Today…the leading Democratic presidential contenders are condemning the Supreme Court’s recent decision to uphold a ban on the procedure known as partial-birth abortion.” And yes, she says, “An overwhelming majority of Americans, polls show, support a ban.”
She concludes, “What are we to make of all this? Surely at a minimum that our enduring reluctance to acknowledge the complexity of the abortion issue has only prolonged and hardened the debate.” Instead, says Henneberger, Democrats should recognize, at the very least, that the abortion debate is complex, and perhaps in doing so Democratic candidates will win back some of the money and supporters that have defected to the Republican party.
“This issue has been very, very good to the Republican Party—and there is plenty more where that came from.”

South African Nurse Continues Fight for Right to Opt Out of Abortions
By Hilary White
PRETORIA, June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A South African nurse, who in 2004 had been banned from the operating room because of her opposition to abortion, has had her case referred to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA). The CCMA is an independent juristic body established after apartheid to settle disputes using consensus and arbitration.
Sister Wilhelmien Charles filed suit three years ago when the hospital she worked in as a senior nurse barred her from working when she objected to abortion on religious grounds. Her case was heard this week by the Labour Appeals Court in Braamfontein. Recent legislation made it legal for nurses to commit abortions but there are no clear conscience guidelines for opting out of performing of the procedure.
“It’s not about the money. It's the damage,” Charles said. “No one knows the nature of the trauma that we go through. I speak for a lot of nurses who feel the way I do about not wanting to perform abortions, and we still don't know clearly whether we have the right to say no.”
Presiding Judge Dennis Davis urged the government to issue clear guidelines on nurses’ rights.
Doctors for Life International (DFL) filed a brief three years ago on behalf of Sister Charles, naming the Kopanong hospital and Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang.
DFL spokesman John Smyth QC said when the legal proceedings were instigated, that although “a large number of staff sent a petition saying they did not want to do abortions, [Charles] is the only one being discriminated against.” An earlier letter writing campaign failed to elicit any response from the hospital or the health ministry.
Smyth said the struggle is not over. “We will continue until we get clarity on whether nurses have the freedom to follow their constitutional rights. As a health organisation, Doctors For Life are aware of tens of thousands of health professionals all over the country who face pressure and intimidation to do abortions contrary to their beliefs.”

Massachusetts Catholic Church Announces State-Wide Initiative to Promote Marriage
By John Jalsevac
June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Cardinal Sean O’Malley has announced that the Catholic Church in Massachusetts is launching a state-wide initiative to promote marriage in response to plummeting marriage numbers, as well as corrosion in the understanding of what true marriage is in the liberal state.
On the Cardinal’s personal blog, he writes, “We were very enthusiastic about the launching of a new statewide educational campaign on the meaning and importance of marriage and we were very glad that the bishops in the state’s other dioceses are collaborating with us in this effort. We hope this campaign will help people to refocus on the sacramental meaning of marriage.”
The campaign, said a representative from the Archdiocese, according to the Boston Globe, is not necessarily a response to the recent failure of the effort to put an amendment protecting the traditional definition of marriage on next year’s ballot, but has been in the works for some time.
“In our country,” writes the Cardinal on his blog, “more and more people are opting not to get married but instead to cohabitate. In Massachusetts, the government has redefined marriage away from its original purpose, which is so intimately connected with having and raising children. Certainly, the vocation to marriage, which is the way most people live out their discipleship, is something that is very, very important. And it certainly is being obscured in our modern and secular culture.”
According to statistics quoted in the Boston Globe, from 1986 to 2006, the number of Catholic marriages recorded in the Archdiocese of Boston fell from 12,274 to 4,519—a 60 percent decline. The same trend holds true for the state of Massachusetts on the whole, with the number of marriages falling from 47,696 in 1990 to 39,074 in 2005.
The year-long Catholic campaign for marriage will involve encouraging priests and bishops to regularly speak about marriage, posting information on bulletin boards, inviting speakers, including married couples, to speak on marriage, various other presentations, and encouraging frequent prayer for Christian marriage, in particular by the distribution of a million prayer cards with a prayer for marriage printed on them.
“I often tell people that part of transmitting the faith is instilling in our young people a sense of vocation,” said the Cardinal. “For most of our young people, their vocation is to marry and to have children…People often talk about the shortage of vocations to the priesthood, but just as grave for the Church is the situation with the vocation to marriage.”
“I am very grateful to all of those who have lent their talent and time to be a part of preparing this initiative, and I want to urge all of the Catholics of the archdiocese to help us to promote the sacrament of marriage. We need to rekindle a sense of vocation in all of our people, especially marriage as a call to holiness, a call to service, so that our Christian families will truly be sanctuaries of life where new generations of disciples are born and reborn in the faith.”
