Cannibalism, the term itself gives us a very weird feeling. Studies says that the practice of cannibalism was there till Neanderthal Man. However, Holy Bible dosen't speak of this practice in time(s) of first man and woman. In the present day, Cannibalism was said to be of as an uncivilised culture. Holy Bible speaks of it as a sign of the last days. In Matthew.24:12, Jesus, Himself gives this as a sign of the last days saying "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold" (KJV). The word 'Iniquity' may mean sin in one sense, but rather there is a lot more deeper spiritual meaning in it. The means of over stepping the subjective law is sin, and there is also divine law that was not written, but every man possess it in his own heart, which God has placed it; 'an innate (that you have when you were born) knowledge of what is good and evil'. We can observe this knowledge in practice all through the lifetime of Jesus. Paul in his letter to Romans.2:12-15, speaking about the law Paul referring to both 'Written Law' as well as the 'Law of Conscience'; v15 "They demonstrate that God's law is written within them, for their own consciences either accuse them or tell them they are doing what is right" (NLT). In continuation verse he (Paul) makes it clear that the accusation will be going to take place at the time of judgment, v16 "The day will surely come when God, by Jesus Christ, will judge everone's secret life. This is my message" (NLT).
Now, coming to the next point after word 'Iniquity', we will see about '....wax cold' (KJV), '....grow cold' (NIV, NLT, NASB). This word was written in gramatical order as 'future passive tense' in the Holy Bible, meaning which is going to take place in the near future.
I believe that I made it clear that, for sure these things are going to take place in near future. You may be astonished why such a long introduction and study even before the subject. I am making sure that the things I am going to discuss may not pervert you in other sense.
Now, coming to the main subject; Holy Bible gives us many signs that are going to take place at our Lord’s second coming, of which some are happening and still some to happen. There are certain signs that God through out the history, repeatedly showing such signs that He is angry at what was going on.
One such a sign we can see in Lamentations.2:20, "Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou has done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long ? ..." (KJV). The word fruit is the figurative form of child. Prophet Jeremiah, while lamenting for Jerusalem (Temple), and it's people on the disaster that is going to take place, prophesying these words. We can also note these words in Jeremiah.19:9 "And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and flesh of their daughters, ...." (KJV). This kind of event has already taken place in Samaria.
It was a time when Israel and Judah are two separate kingdoms of which Samaria (stronghold) was the capital city of Northern kingdom which was ruled by Joram son of Ahab which was been besieged by the Syrian king Benhadad. History also records this event, in Josephus, The Antiquities of the Jews, Book 9, Chapter 4.4, which reads, ".... Joram, who, not thinking himself a match for him (Benhadad), shut himself up in Samaria, and depended on the strength of its walls; but Benhadad supposed he should take the city, if not by the engines of war, yet that he should overcome the Samaritans by famine, and the want of necessaries, and brought his army upon them, and besieged the city; ... Now Joram was in fear least somebody should betray the city to the enemy, by reason of famine, and want every day round the walls and the guards, to see whether any such are concealed among them: ..... and if they had a mind to do it, he by this means prevented them; but upon a certain woman's crying out, "Have pity on me, my Lord," while he thought that she was about to ask for somewhat to eat, he imprecated God’s curse upon her, and said he had neither thrashing flour, nor winepress, whence he might give her anything at her petition. Upon which she said, she did not desire his aid in any such thing, nor trouble him about food, but desired that he would do her justice as to another woman; and when he bade her say on, and let him know what she desired, she said, she had made an agreement with the other woman, who was her neighbour and her friend, that because the famine and the want was intolerable, they should kill their children, each of them having a son of their own, "and we will live upon them ourselves for two days, - the one day upon one son, and the other day upon the other; and," said she, "I have killed my son the first day, and we lived upon my son yesterday; but this other woman will not do the same thing, but hath broken her agreement, and hath hid her son". This story mightily grieved Joram when he heard it; so he rent his garment, .....". Holy Bible also has this event in 2Kings.6:26-30. This incident took place because of the sin and the lawlessness of the people which angered God. However, the city didn't fell this time but a little later the northern kingdom fell 2Kings.17:5-6 to the Assyrian king (probably Sargon) and the Israelites were taken prisoners. We can crearly see the stubbornness of Israelites and their sin in 2Kings.17:7-19.
Even the southern kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital also fell a little later to king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon after repeated warnings from the Lord by prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel (Jeremiah.7:2-5, Go to the entrance of the Lord's Temple, and give this message to the people: 'O Judah, listen to this message from the Lord ! Listen to it, all of you who worship here! The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Even now if you quit your evil ways, I will let you stay in your own land. But do not be fooled by those who repeatedly promise your safety because the Temple of the Lord is here. I will be merciful only if you stop your wicked thoughts and deeds and are fair to others;" (NLT)), (Ezekiel.21:18-22, Then this message came to me from the Lord: "Son of man, make a map and trace two routes on it from the sword of Babylon's king to follow. Put a signpost on the road that comes out of Babylon where the road forks into two - one road going to Ammon and its capital, Rabbah, and the other to Judah and fortified Jerusalem. The king of Babylon now stands at the fork, uncertain whether to attack Jerusalem or Rabbah. He will call his magicians to use divination. They will cast lots by shaking arrows from the quiver. They will inspect the livers of their animal sacrifices. Then they will decide to turn toward Jerusalem! With battering rams they will go against the gates, shouting for the kill. They will put seige towers and build ramps against the walls to reach the top. (NLT)); because of their sin and lawlessness, 2Kings.17:19-20, which reads, Also Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs which Israel had introduced. The Lord rejected all the descendents of Israel (complete northern and southern kingdoms) and afflicted them and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them out of His sight. (NASB). History also records this event in Josephus, 'The Antiquities of the Jews, Book 10, Chapters 7 and 8. Prophet Jeremiah's prophecy didn't end there, it continued to the time of Romans.
It is in the time of Jesus, in Matthew 23, Jesus after condemning the Pharisees; speaking about the prophecy concerning Jerusalem in v37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent onto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not !. v38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate" (KJV). And in Chapter 24, Jesus after coming out of the temple, when His disciples showing Him the Temple bulding, Jesus speaks v2, "Do you see all these buildings ? I assure you, they will be so completely demolished that not one stone will be left on top of another" (NLT). Jesus says clearly that it is the sin and the lawlessness of these people that cause this disaster.
In the following years in AD 70, Emperor Vespasian sends his troops under the leadership of his son Titus to capture Jerusalem. Jerusalem was besieged completely. History records this incident where The Holy Bible does not; in Josephus 'The Wars of the Jews, Book 6, Chapter 3.4, reads "There was certain woman ..... Mary; her father was Eleazar ...... as also what food she contrived to save, had been also carried of by rapacious guards, who came every day running into her house for that purpose. ..... and it was now became impossible for her any way to find any more food, while the famine pierced through her very bowels and marrow, when also her passion was fired to a degree beyond the famine itself; .... She then attempted a most unnatural thing; and snatching up her son, who was a child sucking at her breast, she said, "O, thou miserable infant ! For whom shall I preserve in this war, this famine and this sedition ? As to the war with the Romans, if they preserve our lives, we must be slaves ! This famine also will destroy us, even before that slavery comes upon us:- yet are these seditious rouges more terrible than both the other. Come on; be thou my food, and be thou a fury to these seditious varlets and a byword to the world, which is all that is now wanting to complete the calamities of us Jews". As soon as she said this she slew her son; and then roasted him, and ate the one half of him and kept the other half by her concealed. Upon this the seditious came in presently, and smelling the horrid scent of this food, they threatened her, that they would cut her throat immediately if she did not show them what food she had gotten ready. She replied, that she had saved a very fine portion of it for them; and withal uncovered what was left of her son. Hereupon they were seized with a horror and amazement of mind, and stood astonished at the sight; when she said to them, "This is mine own son; and what hath been done was mine own doing ! Come, eat of this food; for I have eaten of it myself. .... After which, those men went out trembling, being never so much affrighted at anything as they were at this. This is the cause of sin and lawlessness.
All this is history.
The present days are more miserable than the past. Things that are happening around the world will make sure that the days of end are near. In the past this happened due to the result of sin and lawlessness to the strongholds, Samaria and Jerusalem, the Temple.
There is no Temple of the Lord these days, then what's going on to fall or is under attack ? 1Corinthians.6:19, "What ? know ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, ... (KJV)" and also 2Corinthians.6:16, "..... for ye are the Temple of the Living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (KJV).
To make us fall satan has his own plans and strategies.
Today we can see how much sin and lawlessness going on around the world.
1. PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERATION of AMERICA (PPFA)
See pictures given below.
# What is partial-birth abortion?
More than likely, you have heard the term partial-birth abortion before. According to Katie Geary of The Federalist, partial-birth abortion means the unborn baby is intentionally turned to the breech position (feet first) so that the body is delivered before the head. An abortion-performing doctor can harvest organs of the fetus while the head is in the birth canal. The doctor then punctures the head which kills the baby.
It is illegal by federal law, which would lead one to assume that it is not practiced.
However, a leaked Planned Parenthood video featuring Dr. Deborah Nucatola leads us to believe that abortionists have found a way around the law.
Some abortionists use digoxin, a cardiotoxic drug to “induce a demise before the procedure,” Nucatola said. That way, they cannot be accused of performing a partial-birth abortion as the baby died before the procedure began.
However, the use of digoxin makes fetal stem cells unusable for research.
# Do women who consent to fetal-tissue donation actually understand what the procedure entails?
Geary says in order to harvest usable tissue, babies have to be born alive. Fetal tissue donation means subjecting a live fetus to maneuvering, crushing, and dismemberment.
# At the same time, a 2001 study indicated that 91 percent of women preferred that their babies were dead before an abortion was performed. The statistic caused Geary to ask, “How ‘informed’ is their informed consent” to fetal tissue donation?
The idea of donating tissue to research makes the process sound honorable. It brings to mind the option to be an organ donor on your driver’s license or donating your body to science when you die.
The reality is far from this idea. Unborn babies are being subjected to inhumane treatment, whether on not Planned Parenthood is acting within its legal rights. As Geary said, “None us of neither pro-life nor pro-choice, should support the types of practices Planned Parenthood abortion doctors casually discuss over lunch.”

# A recent controversy states that Planned Parenthood may have been delivering live babies to StemExpress—a company that collects human blood, tissue and other parts of the body for research and medicinal development.
CNN reporter David Daleiden went undercover as the CEO for BioMax, an organization specializing in biometrics. He told StemExpress that he wanted to do business with them, and from there he was able to capture the video. There are those who suspect that Planned Parenthood had acquired the infants when they were alive but allowed them to die as they were being sent to StemExpress.
“StemExpress is trying to suppress a specific video recording of a meeting with their top leadership where their leadership admitted that they sometimes get fully intact fetuses shipped to their laboratory from the abortion clinics that they work with, and that could be prima facie evidence of born-alive infants. That’s why they’re trying to suppress that videotape, and they’re very scared of it.” states David Daleiden.

# In 2012, Holly O’Donnell began her new job at StemExpressLLC, based in Placerville, California. She expected the firm to use her skill in drawing blood from patients as a licensed phlebotomist.
Instead, on her first day, O'Donnell was assigned to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Concord, California. There she was trained to sort through fetal tissue from an elective abortion. She recalled passing out after being told to pick up a fetal leg with tweezers. “I thought I was going to be just drawing blood, not procuring tissue from aborted fetuses,” O’Donnell said during an interview in the latest undercover video from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). “I was looking to help the public and make blood draws easy,” the 24-year-old said. She quit her job after six months.
Human fetal tissue is in high demand from American biomedical research labs—whether for-profit, academic, or government. It’s a big business where scientists seek miracle cures to paralysis, Alzheimer’s, and other life-threatening diseases, in order to develop products for the commercial market.
StemExpress describes itself as “a multi-million dollar company that supplies human blood, tissue products, primary cells and other clinical specimens to biomedical researchers,” according to the company website. “Founded in 2010, we offer the largest variety of raw material in the industry, as well as fresh, fixed and cryopreserved human primary cells.”
Among the company’s products: a vial of 5 million frozen fetal liver stem cells for $24,250.
O’Donnell said that she witnessed Planned Parenthood staff procuring tissue donations that fit StemExpress’s needs. “For whatever we could procure, they would get a certain percentage,” she said in her interview on the video. “The main nurse was always trying to make sure we got our specimens. No one else really cared, but the main nurse did because she knew that Planned Parenthood was getting compensated.”
An undercover portion of the 11-minute video released, shows a top Planned Parenthood leader talking with an actor from CMP, posing as a representative of a tissue procurement company. The two discuss reimbursement on a per-specimen versus a per-fetus basis. In the background, a technician uses tweezers to sort through post-abortion fetal tissue to fill orders for researchers.
“I think the per-item [pricing] works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it,” the PPFA leader said on the video.
StemExpress offered a bonus plan of up to $75 per specimen if its techicians were able to obtain the fetal organs most valued by researchers.
"To hear these senior Planned Parenthood doctors and executives coldly pricing baby body parts—liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, brains, and limbs—with such casual disregard for the unborn children killed to obtain those parts is reprehensible," said Carol Tobias, National Right to Life president.

# A woman who got a job working for Planned Parenthood did not know what sinister institution she was getting into, when she unexpectedly saw the severed head of a murdered baby and also a severed leg, and was asked to pick up the severed body parts with tweezers. She was so disturbed that she blacked out and fainted.

# RESULT OF FETAL CELL TRANSPLANTATION.
The Pro-Life Charlotte Lozier Institute (recently put on ban) more recent fetal tissue research has largely proven to be unsuccessful.
Over the last 15 years, there have been no successful clinical trials in which fetal cell transplantation into patients resulted in patient improvement.
“Disastrous results for patients are seen not only with fetal tissue but also with fetal stem cells,” the institute said. “In a recent example, a young boy developed tumors on his spine, resulting from fetal stem cells injected into his body.”

2. SPECIAL SOUPS IN RESTURANTS.
See the Picture given below.
The news on the media is in telugu language of South India which is been translated into english language.

Recently a new Dish was introduced by the Chinese Restaurants to its customers. Have you ever listened a Dish made of an unborn babies (dead) ? It is in Guong Dong in China a Resturant serves recently famous Soup made of unborn babies (dead). Customers believed that this Soup gives good health as well as good for their sexual arousal. The Restaurant gets all its specimens (unborn babies) out of the Law that was made by the Chinese Government. A bill was passed by the Chinese Government that each family can only have one offspring to control its population. It is of this Law the women who were pregnant got their pregnancy aborted; and the Resturant would buy each specimen (unborn baby) in Indian Currency of Rupees Two Thousand only. In the Resturant these unborn babies would under go an 8 hour boiling with all the additional ingredients to taste and then this Dish will be served as Soup.

Saudis Can Eat Wife if Very Hungry
Saudi grand mufti 'issues fatwa permitting man to chop up and eat wife in event of extreme hunger' A leading Saudi Arabian cleric has reportedly issued a controversial fatwa allowing a husband to chop up his wife and eat her body in the event of extreme hunger, IB TIMES reports.
The fatwa, an Islamic edict, was widely attributed to the mufti of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah.
The grand mufti, who is the highest religious figure in Saudi Arabia, allegedly went on to substantiate the fatwa by saying this will allow the couple to "become one as their bodies will fuse together after the husband eats his wife".
According to multiple local reports, the fatwa "allows a man to eat his wife or parts of her body, if the husband was afflicted with a severe hunger".
The report added: "The fatwa is interpreted as evidence of the sacrifice of women and obedience to her husband and her desire for the two to become one."
The alleged fatwa has stoked controversy as many derided it over various social media platforms.
This fatwa causing a stir among the Kingdom's residents, London-based daily al-Quds al-Arabi reported.
Saudi Twitter users quickly took to the social network to express their shock at the strange fatwa attributed to the Grand Mufti.
The Grand Mufti had previously issued controversial fatwas, such as a decree permitting the marriage of minors under the age of 15.
Saudi Arabia follows the ultra conservative Wahhabi school of Sunni Islam.
Not long ago, the Saudi grand mufti waded into a controversy by saying all the churches across the Middle East need to be destroyed. Previously, he also declared Twitter was the "source of all evil".
● See picture of Saudi grand mufti below who made this statement.
● The later effects on this controversial statement are yet to be perceived.

Isn't this seem to us like Cannibalism in today's trend ? For me, yes. This is what Jesus was reminding in the Gospel of Matthew.24:12, and Apostle Paul while speaking on the indepth meaning of sin and its consequences in Romans.2:12-16.
This is how satan is trying out with all his plans and strategies to doom the Temple of God (1Corinthians.6:19, 2Corinthians.6:16) that is we. Take guard and stay strong in you faith as what we are seeing (listening and looking) are the signs of our Lord's Second Coming. In Revelation.2:10, "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: ..... be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a Crown of Life" (KJV).
With this I want to close. Thanks for reading.
°I thank all the Websites (Christian News Network, Christianity Today, God's fruit, Christian Headlines, Allen West etc.,) that have come farward with the News on PPFA, the Sting Operation Reports and their interviews of the responsible Media that helped me with their articles and news in writing me this article.
