Is having children the right and good choice in this modern world and times? What about the population of the world?

   Jesus said this to the daughters of Jerusalem before he died in the cross, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, “Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!” (Luke 23: 28, 29)    And in other place He also said this, “Matthew 24: 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!”

   If we deeply think about these, we realize that, or if we pray to God for understanding as we give our mind to understand these verses He will make us realize that they are deeply related. And it require us to enquire to Him for more understanding.


   And as we enquire we must read the previous and after verses. If we did we realize that He was talking of the troubles which will come before the end of the world.

   Then, do I mean the end of the world is coming?
   This will answer best,
   200yrs before, in 1804 there is only around one billion of population in this world but after 200yrs, in 20th century, the population of the world jump to more than (1x6)six billions. And it is certain, that, if men continue to give birth in that rate the world will soon be overflowed with population of man. Yes, it is clear that if population continue to grow in that rate the world will be (6x6)36 billions in another 200yrs, and Just imagine how hard would the world of 36 billions of population be. And what if the world did not end but continue with increasing population?
   Over population will leads to economical and environmental destruction as it already begun. Though there may be many reason for price hike, but the strongest factor is nothing but population.
   It is because of population that the world lost its forest land which is a very important factor for climate and rivers. Yes, it leads to global warming.
   We can't stop price hike, global warming, etc. unless we stop populating and protect the environment and grow more trees. If we control population, we control the prices of goods and many other things.
   But if population continues to grow at this rate the forest land of the world would quickly be gone, likewise agricultural land would quickly be gone for residence and other purposes, prices will increase, etc., and that means surely environment and economic destruction.

   The world is like a glass and man like water. If water is continuously poured into a glass it would overflow, likewise, if birth continue to pour into this risky world the world would be overflowed with man if Nature don't intervene or make another way. And, if it is overflowed with man undoubtedly there would be an increase in crime, poverty and destruction which is beyond control as hunger and famine would sweep the world, for the production of agriculture would not be enough to supply all the need of the population and it would be too expensive for the average people.

   Therefore, there could be no peace but everyone fighting for their, stomach, survival and even the money, or richness of the rich will not have value, or will not save them, (therefore, now is the time for them to save  themselves and their children and money, so that wealth may continue to have value, by helping the poor and by putting their mind and money for the salvation of the world) And, there would be trouble between siblings, family and family, tribe and tribe, nation and nation fighting for survival, and one would like to terminate all the others for his survival, and destructive weapons could be employed which can even end the world.
   So, if we don't want to send our children in that place and time, if we really love our unborn children and want to save them from the future troubles there is reason not to give birth but make onself barren from now, for if we do not do now how can we do later after we have children.

   But, God would not allow the world to end in that way, by it's own hand. So, when He says it is time He will pour His Spirit to those who love truth, who open their heart to truth - who are willing to accept and live every of His commandments, who reform and prepare in Him - who is bornagain and He will finish, spreading His words, His work on earth and send His Son Jesus Christ to deliver His faithful children and establish His eternal kingdom.
   But, before that, before Jesus Christ come God's children, the followers of Jesus, who keep His commandments and the faith of Jesus (see Matthew 19: 16-21, Revelation 12: 17, 14:12) would have to flee as Jesus have said, “Matthew 24: 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.”

   Since, we don't know the time when we are going to flee, we must prepare from now by not being pragnant or having children. If we do not prepare by now how can we prepare when the time comes? How can the pragnant or nursing babies make themselves not pragnant or not nurse babies after they were already pragnant or nurse babies in that day?
   Therefore, it is certain that to be not pregnant and nurse babies in those days we must make ourselves barren from now, for, we know not the time when those days will come, but one thing we know is that we must prepare and be always ready for the great troubles of the world to come and the coming of our Blessed Saviour Jesus Christ.(Matthew 24: 44)

   Anyway, if we really love our unborn children we will not like or want to bring them in, in this hard and risky world, though we really desire to see them, where we can give no guarantee that they will overcome every temptation, or battle, that they will chose the path of Truth, even if we equip them with the best weapon, even if we teach them the greatest wisdom. Even God doesn't give us guarantee but wants the decision of man.


   But, we can give guarantee that our children will not go to hell if we do not bring them in in this risky world. That means we can save our children lives from eternal death.


   How can we say that we love our children if we send or put them in a risky, position, place? Can a parent who fear God who love their children send or put their children in risky place?

   The answer is easy and short, “No”

   Of course if we really love our unborn children we will not bring them in in this hard and risky world and send or put them to the great troubles to come where there will be woes for the pregnant and those who nurse babies.

   This is love, the action of love. Indeed, This is the deepest, or greatest love a mother or a father can do, or give to their yet unborn child, or children.

   We, human, just want to have children just because we ‘desire’ to see, hold, love and care them but that is not love, that is not because of loving them but ‘desire’.

   We must give up our desire to bring our children in in this world, for, it is to save their lives. By giving up our desire, the desire to have children, we can save them(our children).
   How can we call it love if we bring our children in, in this hard and risky world, just because we desire to see, hold and have them, how can we call it love if we put our children in a hard and risky place.
   Of course, as the world approach its end it will be harder and harder to live in this world until the great trials, troubles and tribulation comes as written in Matthew 24 and Revelation 16.

   If one have love, if one love his, born or unborn, children he will care and deeply consider their future and destiny, of course, not only the destiny of his children but his children’s children and so on, indeed, his generations to come,because every child born from ones children, or children’s children is his offspring and he must love and care for them and their future.

   Certainly, A generation, big or small, is born from one, indeed, all the nations of the world is born from one. Likewise, it is obvious, that, a huge multitude, a large generation can born from us.

   If one have love he would never want, his generation, his children, not even one to go to hell. And the best way, the only way to save them is not to have a single child. If we cannot give guarantee that our children will chose the path of truth even if we teach them the greatest wisdom how can we give guarantee of our children’s children, our offspring?

   Remember, God doesn’t want even one to perish.(Matthew 18: 6, 14)

   The destiny of our, children, generations, yes, the lives of, thousands, many lies in our hands now, in our decision and God wants our decision. Therefore, we should, take decision, not bring even one of our child in this risky, place, world.

   It's all about choice. To have children or not, to be among the woes in those days or not. Indeed, it's our choice.

   If we want to have children because we love, not because we desire to see and hold, them we will love and care them before they are born and consider the environment and their destiny, we will consider everything for them before we have them, before they are born, for, love is thoughtful, love is care, love consider, love is, selflessness, unselfishness, or unselfloveness. And if we deeply consider this world we will realize that it is not worthy place to bring our children in and we can't give any guarantee that they will follow the path of Truth till death.


   Therefore, it is a complete selfish, or selflove act and there is no love at all if one brings his child in in this, risky, dangerous world, after having great knowledge, without caring the future, or desitny of his children and their children(his offspring) to come but just because he desire to see, hold or have them.


   If saving lives is our responsibility in the Lord, this is true and sound in the Lord, that, making oneself barren by choice because of the love of our children and generations is an action of saving lives, many lives. indeed, it is an action of love.


   Of course, if we really love, other, to save other’s life we will not bring our children in in this world and we will also tell others not to bring their children in in this world to save their children’s life and we will spread the gospel and live and die for God. Yes, this is true love, the greatest actions of love.


   And, we are not in a time in which we can have children and be leisure around but to work diligently for God, for, the coming of our Blessed Saviour is near, very near. Remember, we are, really, in the last of the times.


   How can we call ourselves or be the children of God who is full of love, if we don’t pre consider the future of our children, if we don’t care them, if we don’t love, or have no love for our own children?


   When one have no children he have more time and resource for God to save other and their children who are orphan or not, to save the world.

    Yes, we must care the orphans, for, the true follower of Jesus must exceed the world in doing righteous act. Loving and looking after children or orphan children who need love and care like our children is a work, or mission of God.

   How can we call ourselves or be the followers of Jesus if we don’t love, or have no love for other like Him Our blessed Saviour Jesus Christ.

   The one who have no love for, or cannot love children like Jesus is not worthy to enter the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 25: 41.45)

   When one have no children he have less trouble and responsibility, and more time for God, he don’t have to worry, for the need of his children, for treasure to inherit to his children, he has the freedom to freely give his possession, or treasures, to help those who need help in the name of God, to support the spreading of the Gospel, to the Church for the glory of God.


   And, those who already have children must have no more children and must also teach their children not to have children but to love God and to love other and their children.

   If one have children after knowing this, he is the one who love his desires more than his children. Therefore, he is not worthy to follow Jesus unless he, repent and reform, is bornagain.

   If one says if God will, I will have children and if He doesn’t will I will not have. Then this will be appropriate for him to understand, Do we say ‘If God will, I will eat food and if He doesn’t will, I will not’ or do we say ‘If God will I will fast and if He doesn’t will, I will not fast’

   It's our choice.
   There are things which God trust us in our hands, which we must do as we will eg. Like to eat food or fast likewise to have children or not.
    Whether to eat food or not or to fast or not is depend upon our decision likewise whether to have children or not depends upon our decision. And we must take decision for good, for saving lives, for the glory of God.

   But, this doesn’t mean that, if God command us to eat or to do anything we have the privilege to disobey Him. We must obey whatever He command us, we must always have willingness, willingness to accept and live every of His word, and we must never lose that.

   And now, it is time not to have children but pray that our flight may not be in winter nor Sabbath, for, Jesus have warned us and the great tribulation is very near “Matthew 24: 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.”
   Luke 23: 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, “Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breast which never nursed!” 

   Everyone may not be barren by birth, but on the days to come blessed will be the barren by birth and the barren by choice, no matter whether one is barren by birth or choice. The more blessed will be those who never defile themselves to woman nor lie but keep themselves completely holy for God.


   Decision taken to be barren to save lives is a decision of love.

   The decision which we take now decide our future and the future of our children or unborn children.

   How can we send our children to a place, where we ourselves feels hard to travel, where we can give no guarantee for ourselves, that, we will achieve or reached the Goal of the path of Truth, where our strength has no power except the Strength of God, where we sometimes or many times lose faith upon God.


   How can a father or mother who really love their children sends their children to the jungle in the dark night, where ghost, fairies, wolves or dangerous wild animals filled the land, to frighten them, tempt them away from the path of Truth, and eat or kill them before they reached The Cross, actually, the darkness is also enough to get lost.


   When we don’t bring our children in in this world, if we don’t give birth, we can give one firm guarantee that ‘they will not enter hell, or be burn in hell at all.

   But if we give birth, if we bring our children in in this world we can give no guarantee at all.

   The moment whoever accept these things love not only his child at the deepest but also is free from the danger of the prophecy told by Jesus “Matthew 24: 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!”


   Remember if you really want children, in Jesus every children the age of your child are your children.


   Therefore it is certain that having children is not the right and good choice in this modern world and times.

   But, it's our choice, it's all about choice to be made.
