I believe it is the divine will of God that President-elect Obama is using Lincoln's emancipation as the theme of his inauguration. If it had not been for Lincoln's belief that "nothing stamped with the divine image annd likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on," Obama could not have reached such heights in America. Indeed, it is because of Lincoln's fight for the freedom of all who have been stamped with the divine image that brought the emancipation of the African Americans.
It was a slow battle to be sure. Forty years ago, the battle was still being fought and a great man lost his life in the battle. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream that is being fulfilled in 2009. Forty years after his death, the fulfillment of his dream is being realized through the election of Barack Obama as president.
It has been so interesting to me to find out that every particle of DNA has the divine image and likeness of God. Through modern technology, it has been discovered by electron microscope that each DNA has the stamp of God, for that Hebrew character is on each.
I believe it is the divine will of God for Barack Obama to save the unborn child. It is certainly not a role that Barack Obama is aware of, but it is my prayer that he will begin to see that, like Lincoln, he has been called for such a time as this to save all that has been "stamped with the divine image and likeness" and to forever eradicate abortion from the books of the American legal system so justice can truly be for all.
