A Christmas Message for 2025

The Maryland 400 at the Battle of Brooklyn

 

 

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name. 

-Revelations 3:7,12

 

Restoring and Defending the Foundations of the New Jerusalem

By Joseph Healy, 2025

The people of God in Old Testament times came out of captivity and slavery in Babylon, came into the land of Israel, and rebuilt the Temple, the city of Jerusalem, and the nation of Israel.  As is recorded in the book of Ezra and the book of Nehamiah:

Thus says Cyrus, King of Persia…Whoever there is among you of all His people, may his God be with him!  Let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel.  (Ezra 1:2)

[Nehemiah] said to them, “You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates burned with fire.  Come let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem that we may no longer be a reproach.”  (Nehemiah 2:17)

Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens took their load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon.  (Nehemiah 4:17)

In the New Testament times, the people of God too have sought and do seek a country of their own, and a city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.  And I do not mean The City of God considered in only a spiritual sense, as in that mystical future prophetic age of the Kingdom, but a very real country and nation, in the here and now, built on the precepts of God and His Commandments—a New Jerusalem, a New Israel, as it were, in this present Gospel Age.  And who is to say that this is not to be?  Did not Christ Jesus Himself instruct His disciples to pray, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”?  And did he not command them to “Go…and teach all nations…to obey all that I have commanded you”?

This is precisely what our American Forebearers sought to do:

PreBorn: Offering an Alternative to Abortion

 

My granddaughter

Recently, PreBorn! contacted me. They asked,

“Every month, you show up quietly and faithfully to stand for life. And I just can’t help but wonder… what's the story behind that?
What keeps you committed when the world feels dark?
What stirs your heart to keep saying yes to life, again and again?
If you’d be willing to share, I’d love to hear what inspires you.

With all my heart, Rene Ervin Associate Development Officer, PreBorn!”

My response:

“I first became aware of PreBorn through a radio commercial, probably on The Clay and Buck Program, and immediately recognized the importance of their mission; that being to show expectant young mothers that the child they are carrying is indeed a person and not just a blob of cells.”

“By choosing life, these young mothers bring into the world that which God has created. They learn through PreBorn that they can resist the pressure of the abortionists. They avoid the lifelong torment so many aborting mothers endure, not to mention the eternal consequences of killing another human being. (It is better to have a millstone tied around one's neck and be tossed into the ocean, than to harm a child.)

Earlier this week I read an article titled, "REPORT: One Third of Gen Z Was Never Born".

The second paragraph reads, "As the National Catholic Register reported earlier this month, data from the Guttmacher Institute, the CDC, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization show that some 850–900 million babies were aborted globally between 1997 and 2012, the years generally accepted as the range for Gen-Z."

This is shocking.

While PreBorn's work is of immeasurable importance, more need be done to educate the general public against the abortionist's evil lies. The "my body, my choice" argument holds no water. It isn't just "your" body, it is the body of a unique individual growing inside the mother's body. That individual exists at the moment of conception; its DNA is unique, and its body is separate from that of the mother.

"But it's not a complete person, it's just a fetus." Wrong. It is a complete person. The DNA doesn't lie; it contains the blueprint for that person's entire life. So, I ask, at what point does a fetus become complete? At six months gestation? Eight months? At birth?

No. No one is complete at birth. Nor are they "complete" at one year of age. Or ten. Or twenty.

Our bodies and minds continue to develop until death. Don't think so? Show me one person who looks the same today as they did at birth. Or ten years ago. Or even one year ago. You can't.

Abortion is evil. Those who advocate for it, perform it, are evil and serve a false god.”
