Blood of murdered Abel cries out for justice

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Gen. 4 ... And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.  2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.  
3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.  4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:  5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.  
8And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? 10And He said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.  11And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; 12When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.



Two points here:

Cain was rejected for he was not doing well in the sight of God.  Had Cain done well in the sight of God he would have been accepted.  You can go through the right motions but not actually be right in the sight of God.  If you do well you will be accepted.

The second point, Abel's blood was crying out for justice.  This murder could not go unpunished.  For justice to happen, there had to be a "sentence".  The murder required a sentence.  God pronounced a sentence upon Cain.  verses 11-12 ... 11And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; 12When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

When abortion is committed, the blood of that child cries out to God for justice.  The sentence is the woman who had abortion will never be able to completely forget that child which she murdered.  The memory is the sentence.  And if the father knows of the abortion the memory of the murdered child will arise in his mind from time to time while he lives on this earth.  Try as they may to forget this abortion, they will not be able to forget.  Only their own death will stop the memories of the murdered son or daughter.

In a way, that murdered child lives on through the memory the parents have of the abortion.

Heb. 11 ... By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.   

The difference between Abel offering being accepted and Cain's offering being rejected had to do with the fact that Abel offered his sacrifice by faith.  Cain thought the offering would justify him before God.  Cain trust in what he did, by his works.

At the judgment seat of Christ they will come to Jesus saying, "I did this ... I did that".  Jesus hears of their works and replies, "Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity."  Mt. 7
