-- Douglas Wilson, God Rest Ye Merry
Having a baby is a battle and carrying an infant is an act of war. Bearing a child is like bearing arms. Ever since the Author inserted enmity into the story line, every child has been born into an ongoing blood feud. God has given women the high calling of manufacturing munitions and running boot camps. Every major has a mother. Every warrior was nursed by a woman. Every dragon slayer had his diapers changed. Wars are won in backyards before they are fought on battlefields. Motherhood is the domestic theater of God's world war and serves as the home base of military operations and a beachhead for the advancement of His kingdom.
Childbearing is a charge and God's plan A for storming the gate of hell which is why the Magnificat of Mary sounds like the Battle Hymn of Eve.
Luke 1:51-52
He has shown strength with his arm;
He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
He has brought down the mighty from their thrones
And exalted those of humble estate.
World war is being waged in wombs everywhere. Join the fray. Raise soldiers in seed form.
