"It shall come to pass in that day

that there will be no light;

The lights will diminish."

Zechariah 14:6

When is life created and for what means

can man use life for his own purposes?

These are the days of intellectual advancement

in many areas of science, but also joined by

moral degradation

Man attempts to use human life

to supplement his own health

at the expense of human life

Selfishness snuffs out the light and life

Is it wrong to use life as an embryo to comfort

those who have not fared well in this life?

Is sacrifice wrong or perhaps, is it only wrong

if the one sacrificed has no choice?

What will I sacrifice to show you, Israel,

your need?

What will it take to prove to you

that you cannot survive without Me?

You fight and you struggle, but you will not win

until the King you call

And in that day:

"Then the Lord will go out and fight against

those nations, as He fights in the day of battle.

On that day, His feet will stand on the 

Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem and the

Mount of Olives will be split in two from 

east to west, forming a great valley, with half

of the mountain moving north and half moving

south.  You will flee by my mountain valley, 

for it will extend to Azel.  You will flee as you

fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah

king of Judah.  Then the Lord, my God will come,

and all the Holy ones with Him.

Zechariah 14:3-5

Which side will you be on?

Who has been sacrificed in your place?

Was it a willing sacrifice?
