'Ask now and see
whether a man can give birth to a child?
God is pointing out that it is not practical, (it is against the way Man is designed and put together, for him to give birth to a child), at least without help; it is against Nature, and against all the proper use of a man! Against all known social usage to the very beginning of human kind. It might be possible good news to the Same Sex Marriage, and the Gay Fraternity in general though.
In the next verse God seems to be looking into the future and seeing men apparently looking and behaving as if they were pregnant! The Media reported last year, 2014, that 54 men in Australia had given birth!! The Media noted that most of them were transgender men who had kept their female equipment needed to give birth to a child..... Still sounds abnormal doesn't it? And Mr. Lee Mingwei, at least, is NOT a transgender, but an Artist. (photo right above). Research and even medical proceedings started long ago in Europe in order to help men give birth. Only NOW are we beginning to see the FACT coming into view and the practicality of it, caused by more and more relaxation of moral and ethical standards.
GOD certainly gave the impression that it was not something He or any person would expect or accept considering the general rules and principles of Biology. And we know that the Bible reveals God's plan was for 'One Man and One Woman'. He did not take more than one rib from Adam, and from that one rib make more than ONE woman. Any other arrangement or union was (and IS) to God abnormal; as abnormal as Homosexuality and as abnormal for a man or woman to change their sex. BUT He knew the day would come when all of this would be more and more accepted and excused. He said of it in verse 7 -

ALAS! for that day will be great,
so that none will be like it;
it will be the time of Jacob's unequaled trouble....
but he will be saved out of it
A Time when mankind will lose interest in religion - in god - and especially in JESUS Christ.
A time when men will even question the need for God in their lives, and when, because of this, BECAUSE of not keeping God in Mind, God will give them up. Look at Romans 1 v26 - 28 (Amplified Bible)
Because humanity will turn from God ..
God will give them over and abandon them to vile affections
and degrading passions.
For their women exchanged their natural function
for an unnatural and abnormal one.
And the men also turned from natural relations with women
and were set ablaze (burning and consumed) with lust for one another.
Men committing shameful acts with men
and suffering in their own bodies and personalities
the inevitable consequences and penalties
of their wrong doing and going astray, which was
their fitting retribution.
AND SO
since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him,
or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind, to do things not proper or decent,
but loathsome.
************************
THERE IS NO DOUBT in my own mind that God, speaking through Jeremiah, was looking into the Latter Days, just as Jesus was, when Matthew recorded His words in the Gospel of Matthew 24, and as Luke did in his Gospel chapter 21. Mankind has become embarked on a society akin to that of Sodom and Gomorrah so that we can surely identify that the LAST DAYS are well on the way to a conclusion, both fearsome and inevitable. In verse 23-24 of Jeremiah chapter 30, it is written -
BEHOLD the tempest of the LORD has gone forth with wrath;
a sweeping and gathering tempest;
it shall whirl and burst upon the heads of the wicked
,
The fierce anger and indignation of the LORD
shall not turn back until He has executed and accomplished
the thoughts and intents of His mind and heart.
IN THE LATTER DAYS
you shall understand this.
DO YOU RECOGNIZE the society you live in? YOU live in the Latter - the LAST - days; days in which only the very dregs of our moral integrity, revealed and confirmed in and through Jesus Christ, and which have influenced the Christian World and indeed all the world, for more than two thousand years, actually remain intact. TODAY the world is turning more and more from EVERY regard for God, and His Will.
We have turned, instead, to Humanism, making our own opinion and understanding MORE than God until we have become well on the way to forgetting What and Who we were created to be by the Creator; questioning even the existence of that Creator. What will we have become in the NEXT fifty years? Will we still know ourselves to be even human in mind let alone likeness to God? Yes, and if we have eyes and intelligence we should be able to see clearly where things stand in our world society and philosophy. Relatively a GODLESS world society without respect for God, His Principles and Rules for Life, where His Voice is unheeded, unheard, and un-recognised.
MANY are declaring that this is the Society they prefer - Free, and open with an un-prescribed lifestyle. But the Bible and History teach us there is an ETERNAL price to pay for rejecting God's revealed LAW for man to live by. We rebel against it at our peril. By seeming to turn around God's Order of things in no way proves He Himself is a myth, and that his Commandments and the Nature of Things laid down can no be ignored, or changed. By arranging for a man, who is not designed for it, to be pregnant and to give birth to a child - the recognised expectation of a WOMAN - in no way makes it RIGHT or PROPER, and adds no weight to the argument in respect of God, or The Word of God contained in the BIBLE, and in the Life and Example of Jesus Christ. There is no other Way and no other 'God', and no other way toward Eternal Life that can perfectly be engineered by wayward Man. Without GOD, as manifest in His Word, and in Christ, Man will never attain the Peace of Mind he needs, or the abolition of Sin that even now controls our world.
Is that your opinion John?
Yes it is. I am no scholar or noted theologian, just an ordinary man. A common man feeling his way through life, and coming to terms with himself and life around him through the tuition of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is given to EVERY human being to lead and guide him; to be his light in darkness; to be his conscience. I may be easily disregarded, and yet I am not persuaded by myself of the Truth I seek to share. I have not found 'The God Particle' I have found God; that He is real and that He exists, and that His Word is Truth indeed. Beware oh Earth, and all those who live on Earth and are willing to aquiesce with whatever Godless ideas are presented to them. God will not always be mocked, or allow things to go uncorrected. We should be warned, those of us who are Watching, and who are called to Watch and Pray.
