Ethiopia


Luke 18:16 New English Translation (NET Bible)

16 But Jesus called for the children, saying, “Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

 

 

Ethiopia or Utopia

 

Your children don’t get very old

and many die at birth.

Amazing that in the realm of things

God’s justice will be heard.

 

All children are God’s you know

the color does not matter

and when “before” their time they die

they will join the Latter.

 

They’ll be in Heaven with the Lord

rejoicing in God’s Glory.

Don’t you think more Ethiopians are there

than Dutch and French or Tories?

 

Has not abortion changed the formula?
