doctors. How much more effective for the population would it be if God struck the doctor dead Himself. Read the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18 to see the impact that God had on the people by raining down fire from the sky.

God could have supernaturally consumed this abortion doctor in the public square at midday in a lasting fire from the sky that the television cameras could record. Imagine a toasted abortion doctor carried on world television with the clear message that it was God Almighty who did it. Now that would get the people’s attention. Paul Hill’s death didn’t even register

as a concern on the average person’s mental radar screen. A recent poll of prolife supporters indicate that 66% believe Paul Hill actually hurt the cause of trying to put an end to abortion murder. Why? He violated God’s law!

Example: Prophet Elijah asks God to rain down fire.

“Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned

their hearts back to You again. Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.” 1 Kings 18:37-38

God’s Character Is Also Metaphysical!

Metaphysical means originating not in the physical world but somewhere outside it. A rain of fire from the sky on the request of a prophet is metaphysical. God has intervened metaphysically in my life a number of

times. That is to say God has altered the reality I faced in many instances by altering something physical. God’s character takes on a metaphysical nature whenever He decides. Therefore, I can tell you that it is no big deal for Him to end a Florida abortion doctor’s life whenever He chooses to. God doesn’t

need Paul Hill or anyone else to premeditatedly murder any abortion doctor.

Example: Prophet delivering some bad news of impending death.
