1). Looking at the whole passage, pro-abortion Christians defile God’s sanctuary when they enter His sanctuary.
a). Ezekiel 23:37-39 That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
23:38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
23:39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
2). Pro-abortion Christians defile God’s sanctuary upon entering it. This is interesting in that Lucifer in his rebellion defiled his sanctuaries.
a) Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
b). Notes of Ezekiel 28:18. Similar wording is used by Ezekiel in describing Lucifer’s defiling the sanctuaries. “Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities…”coming into the Temple after they had just sacrificed children. These Jews defiled the temple by their presence because they were in rebellion by participating in unrepentant sin and then coming into the temple.
a). Ezekiel 23:37-39 That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
23:38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
23:39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
3). Pro-abortion Christians are the seed of the whore.
). Isaiah 57:3-5 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
57:4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
57:5 Inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
). The whore of Revelation 17 is a religious whore made up of false Christians, who believe and walk in spiritual fornication and also literal fornication.
4). I once heard a guy say, "The church is a whore, but she's my mother." Well your mother probably is a whore, perhaps because you belong to the church of Revelation 17. In Galatians 4:26 the Apostle Paul says Jerusalem which is above is the mother of us all.
