Columbus Day is a reminder that God overthrows nations which commit child sacrifice.
Aztecs sacrificed children at massive scales, especially during droughts or famines, because they viewed children as pure offerings whose tears were linked to rain.
Mayans likewise sacrificed children to appease their rain gods and during temple dedications.
Incans sacrificed children on high mountain peaks to mark events like the death of the emperor or natural disasters, often drugging the children with alcohol and coca before death.
The overthrow of these civilizations should be no surprise. Innumerable accounts in the Bible and the broader history of mankind show that God judges nations which shed innocent blood. He has a special disdain for the nations which sacrifice their own children.
"They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons;
they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters."
— Psalm 106:37-38
Americans commit far more child sacrifice than the civilizations which preceded us. The average surgical abortionist or online abortion pill provider murders more children than even the most zealous Aztec, Mayan, or Incan priest or shaman. We may sacrifice our children to the god of self rather than some other false demon god, but our child sacrifice practices are no less demonic.
God cannot simply overlook the murder of sixty-five million children in our nation. He still deals with nations that rebel against Him in righteous judgment. The fact that such rebellion occurs in a nation where many claim His name only increases our guilt.
Americans must repent of child sacrifice, abolish and criminalize abortion for all parties involved, and once more bow the knee to the Lord Jesus Christ. If we do not turn from our brazen rebellion, we can have no expectation that our nation will continue.
"When you spread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
your hands are full of blood.
Wash yourselves;
make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your deeds
from before my eyes;
cease to do evil,
learn to do good;
seek justice,
correct oppression;
bring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow's cause."
— Isaiah 1:15-17
