Deuteronomy 28:53-58
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
Eating own children definitely beats eating bread baked in human dung!

Oh, yes, dear Sister Basilissa, this is so true, and I know that some people will whine and moan about the
being "mean". Well, if people would forsake their selfish, rebellious nature and just do that which
Almighty has asked, then they wouldn't have these things to think about. I mean, it's not like they haven't been warned. The preacher in the attached video has been making that point for many years!
A blessed day to you, Dear,
Sincerely, Isabella W.
