Call For The Wailing Women

Call For The Wailing Women

By Kathy Clark

     This morning during my bible reading in which I read through the bible in both the old and new testament book by book. I was in Jeremiah 9 and then Luke 23, and I saw that the verses fit like hand in glove together.

Jeremiah 9

¹⁷ Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:

¹⁸ And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

¹⁹ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

²⁰ Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

²¹ For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.


Luke 23

²⁷ And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

³¹ For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?


     As I read these things it became clear to me that God is calling for the wailing, lamenting, cunning women to begin to cry out to God for, His Kingdom to come, our families, the church, the world, and His soon return.

 As I read verse 29 it hit me that this could be speaking about something other than what I have seen before, supposing it to be an admonition about how difficult the time will make it upon woman with children, so better to not have any. This seems to me now to be an end time prophecy, and a picture of what is going on in our world today.

 Luke 23
²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

     The rest of the chapter speaks of end time events. Is this verse 29 not a perfect picture of society today? Women having babies murdered and ripped out of their wombs? Using the morning after pill to destroy the fruit of the womb, it even being given out in schools in New York? Birth control to prevent pregnancy at all, and no natural motherly affection to nurse, nurture and love babies.

     Women in these times are trying to find themselves, and having children would interrupt that goal. Babies, and kids, are inconvenient, unwanted, and easily expendable, so why burden yourself with them, and hey you don't need to, there are plenty of ways to deal with the problem and prevent the inconvenience.

     I would like to say at this juncture that I know there are many wonderful mothers out there who cherish and nurture their babies, and children. I am talking about a sign of the times and this prophecy in Luke 23:29 that is a perfect picture of today's society and it's values. Again here these verses in Romans 1 describe the heart conditions in this day and age.

Romans 1
³⁰ Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹ Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:


2 Timothy 3
² For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

³ Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

⁴ Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

     I feel that these verses point to the soon return of the King, the Lord Jesus Christ. I also feel that God is calling for wailing, cunning women to pray for His kingdom to come, His will to be done, and for as many of the people of the earth to repent as possible, and for the hearts of the parents to be turned to the children, and the children to the parents, and for people to treasure the fruit of the womb which belongs to God. We have a job to do. Let us not sleep on our watch. Weep between the porch and altar, the day is far spent, the time is at hand. Let us be about our Father's business before we lament for other reasons.

Joel 2:17
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

Romans 13:12
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Mark 13:33
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
