So let’s now read a few verses that affirm our stance on abortion and homosexuality. First off being abortion, where God said, “be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth” (Genesis 1:28)
Allowing an evil act such as abortion comes with many consequences. This is doing what you think is right, though it goes against God’s will.
There is so much corruption in the world we live in. This is because people’s defenses are down. Satan has taken a great hold of them and is leading them, one by one, on a path to destruction.

Time went by while Israel and his family took residence in the land of Egypt, “and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.” (Genesis 47:27)

Please know that the moment that Joseph insisted that his brothers bring his younger brother down to Egypt, before they could buy any food, is when His walls were still up in full force against them.
Anyone that harms a child, has God’s wrath upon them. Only a person that repents of their sins and is made right with Jesus will be saved.
This verse is Joseph’s honest, humble reply. He admitted that he himself wasn’t able to interpret the dream.
Along with Abraham and David, there were other key people to note in the line of Jesus’s descendants. One person of importance was Solomon.
