Male's giving birth

1
Male's giving birth?
2
Prophecy Fulfilled?

• First Male (legally) to be pregnant
• Is society ready for this pregnant husband?

3
He was a SHE!

• I am transgender, legally male, and legally
  married to Nancy.
• Sterilization is not a requirement for sex
  reassignment, so I decided to have chest
  reconstruction and testosterone therapy but kept
  my reproductive rights.
• Wanting to have a biological child is neither a
  male nor female desire, but a human desire.

4
Nancy couldnt have a child
Some details...

• Nancy (His/her wife) had to undergo a
  hysterectomy and is unable to HAVE a child.
• I stopped taking my bimonthly testosterone
  injections.
• My body regulated itself after about four
  months, and I didnt have to take any exogenous
  estrogen, progesterone, or fertility drugs to aid
  my pregnancy.

He/She unlocked his potential to be pregnant
5

• Health care professionals have refused to call
  me by a male pronoun or recognize Nancy as my
  wife.
• In total, nine different doctors have been
  involved. This is why it took over one year to
  get access to a cryogenic sperm bank to purchase
  anonymous donor vials, and why Nancy and I
  eventually resorted to home insemination.  

6

• HORMONESOral doses of female hormones were
  administered to Mr. Lee to make him receptive to
  the pregnancy.
• IMPLANTATIONIVF (In-vitro fertilization)
  techniques were used to induce an ectopic
  pregnancy by implanting an embryo and placenta
  into the abdominal cavity, just under or into the
  peritoneum (the surrounding lining).

He/she had no womb???
7

• EMBRYO GROWTH
• Once implantation was complete, Mr. Lee
• stopped taking hormones, because the
• pregnancy itself, as expected, took over.
• The embryo secretes sufficient hormones to
• maintain its own growth and development.
• GROWTH OF THE FETUS
• The duration of the pregnancy has been
• surprisingly normal, i.e. fetal heart
• monitoring, chorionic villus sampling,
• ultrasound scanning (as seen on this
• web site), and a constant watch over
• Mr. Lee's health and his enlarging
• stomach (Not his/her Womb).
• DELIVERY
• The delivery will requires open surgery
• (Cesarean section) to remove the baby
• and the placenta.

8
Can REAL Males be pregnant?

• Extra-uterine pregnancies (also called abdominal
  pregnancies) are possible, and an amazing 5 of
  them are viable. It's very rare, but babies can
  be grown abdominally and then born live by
  surgical delivery.
• All that is necessary is for a fertilized egg to
  implant in a place where it can tap into a blood
  supply.
• The fertilized egg produces enzymes which eat
  into whatever it lands on so that it can attach
  and tap into the blood vessels.

9
There are two catches

• 1) The fetus is essentially a parasite whereas
  the uterus is designed to support the parasite,
  other internal organs are not, and serious damage
  can be done to the host.
• 2) Current medical practice is to cut the
  umbilical cord close to the placenta and leave it
  inside. If all goes well, it will eventually
  shrink and be reabsorbed. There is a serious risk
  of infection and other complications.

China Doctor
It's Actually Happening!

• Male Pregnancy Now an Option, Beijing surgeon
  Says
• Doctor Chen Huanran is looking for a few good men
  -- to get pregnant.
• The Beijing doctor -- one of Chinas
  most-prominent sex change surgeons -- says he has
  developed the technology to impregnate a man

11
"Male Mothers"

• He said the male mother will take oral doses of
  female hormones.
• Once ready, the patient will then be impregnated
  by in vitro fertilization, with the embryo
  implanted into the abdomen cavity.
• The pregnancy will take the normal nine months
  with the delivery done by Caesarean section.
• Chen has been recruiting volunteers on the
  Internet for the project with a message posted at
  a Website for those that have had or want to have
  sex changes (www.sDscenter.com).

12

• If successful, it would be the first time ever
  that a male human has become pregnant, with the
  possible (make-believe) exception of the Arnold
  Schwartzenager movie Junior.
• Which was inspired by medical reports of Male
  pregnancy.

13
There is NO way the Bible says anything about a
male giving birth in the latter days!

• Does the Modern Day event of a Man being pregnant
  have any reference in scripture?
• Is there a prophetic passage dealing with it?
• I think so

14
Fulfilled Prophecy? Fulfilled prophecy can best
be explained by the statement, Oh, that is what
God meant!
Here's the passage...

• Jeremiah 304-7
• 4 Now these are the words that the LORD spoke
  concerning Israel and Judah.
• 5 "For thus says the LORD We have heard a
  voice of trembling, Of fear, and not of peace.
• 6 Ask now, and see, Whether a man is ever in
  labor with child? So why do I see every man with
  his hands on his loins Like a woman in labor, And
  all faces turned pale?
• 7 Alas! For that day is great, So that none is
  like it And it is the time of Jacobs trouble,
  But he shall be saved out of it.

15
Why would God inspire Jeremiah to use male
pregnancy as a metaphor?

• Verses depicting men acting like women implying
  cowardice, weakness, lack of courage to stand up
  to protect, defend, and be a man, are used in
  scripture.
• There are several instances of the labor of a
  woman and her travail being used to describe
  sorrows, pain, fear and agony, punishment,
  judgment, and terrible things coming upon the
  earth(John 1621)

16

• Although we might imagine a man in labor it has
  never happened and seems impossible that it would
  happen.
• Symbolism is understood because we know for
  instance what a woman in labor is likeweve
  never seen a male being pregnant until now

All these symbols have meaning because they
relate to real life
17
Jeremiah is warning Israel Judah...

• About something that has never happened and is
  impossible (naturally), THAT it is going to
  happen (a man in labor with child)!
• This is something very different from anything
  else the world has known!
• In a time when unnatural things are happening

Something unnatural
18

• The Virgin Birth is also such a phenomenon. This
  was impossible (outside of God) until our day.
  Medical science can now impregnate a virgin.
• Yet, as we understand the Virgin Birth medical
  science cannot repeat what took place in Christ.
  Mary was impregnated by the Holy Spirit not a
  human male (sperm).

This was unnatural too!
19
Jeremiah 306 is a very unique passage

• It is describing events that are NOT at all
  common.
• The uncommon event of The Great Day of the Lord
• Also known as The Tribulation, the Seventieth
  Week of Daniels prophecy, or Jacobs Trouble.

20
Applying this verse...

• As a metaphor this verse works to describe
  unnatural things of our day such as
  homosexuality, gay marriage, trans sexuality,
  bisexuality, cloning, chemical weapons, mind
  altering drugs, etc
• But since we now have a modern day occurrence of
  a she/man pregnant AND medical science working in
  China to repeat it again with REAL malesthis
  passage stands in LITERAL FULFILLMENT
• (Oh, thats what God meant!).

Literal fulfillment now we see it the light is
on
21
Contributing Factors to accepting this verse
prophetically...

• There are those prophecies which are plain,
  straight forward, and obvious.
• There are prophecies that are not.
• The Obvious prophecies (examples)
• THE BIRTH PLACE OF THE MESSIAH (Micah 52)
• THE MESSIANIC ANOINTING CALL (Luke 418)
• THE TRIBE OF JUDAH IS IN THE MESSIAHS LINEAGE
  (Genesis 4910)
• These verses may seem coded to someone who is not
  familiar with the language, imagery, and use of
  Gods prophetic Word, but to those who are these
  passages are quite CLEAR.

Obscure Prophecies THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM Numbers
2417 Fulfilled according to MatthewMt
22 JESUS BETRAYAL BY A FRIEND Psalms 419
Fulfilled according to MatthewMt 2621 THIRTY
PIECES OF SILVER THE COST OF HIS BETRAYAL
Zechariah 1113 Fulfilled according to MatthewMt

23
Fabrications?

• What is going on when such prophecies seem taken
  out of context or apparently speaking of things
  unrelated to future issues?
• Many argue that Matthew and others are making
  these connections work when they are not really
  there.
• This is an important point of contention the
  claim that obscure prophecies are fabrications in
  order to substantiate Christ as the Messiah.

Seeing things not really there
24
Prophecies are coded!

• First, as with all messages during wartime they
  are coded. We are in a spiritual war against
  satanic and human (sin natured) enemies
• To speak openly, directly, and obviously is to
  empower your enemy.
• No nation at war does this everyone develops
  codes in order to communicate with their own
  forces.

25
The KEY is Vital!

• The enemy may intercept broadcasts but without
  the key the message is NOT understood.
• During WWII prior to the D-Day invasion radio
  broadcasts were sent over Europe with all kinds
  of phrases. These phrases meant nothing until the
  key was spoken. The resistance had the key and
  when they heard it they knew when the invasion
  would take place.

26

• German decoders spent a tremendous amount of time
  trying to decode thembut never diduntil after
  the war and after the invasion!
• AFTER THE FACT UNDERSTANDING
• This is a crucial point. Many prophecies were not
  understood until after the events they described
  came to pass. Before they came to pass there was
  no reference, no key, and no way to decipher
  them.

Very Important Point
27

• Who is God trying to keep the message from?
• The Devil and his demons AND sinful humanity as
  well.
• The scripture says that if Satan had known Gods
  plan he would not have crucified Christ!
• 1Corinthians 28 which none of the rulers of
  this age knew for had they known, they would not
  have crucified the Lord of glory.

28
God kept it from us until it was finished.

• However, now that it is done God shows us that it
  was planned and declared long ago. He does this
  so that we can know that His prophets and His
  scriptures are true and cannot be copied or
  counterfeited.

29
APPLYING THIS VIP POINT TO PROPHECY
After the facts details happened we understand
and can see it in scripture

• The obscure passages before (they happened) meant
  nothing to us until after the events they were
  speaking about took place.
• They were veiled from our eyes and understanding
  until after the fact
• Now that we know Christ is the Messiah the
  disciples remembered the details of his life and
  began to look over the prophetic material.

30
For example The Star of Bethlehem

• The star (of Christ) actually appeared in the
  night sky and led the wise men to find the baby
  Jesus (See the Video The Star of Bethlehem).
• We could have interpreted this prophecy as a
  metaphor of the Messiah being a rising star among
  the people of Israel and we would be right
• However, like with many of the prophecies of God
  they have multiple meaning and fulfillments.

31
AND
Literally
Metamorphically

• Many prophecies have double meaning as in this
  case that it was fulfilled metaphorically AND
  literally!
• We can now look back and see that a star is
  stated in NUMBERS 2417. He (Jesus) does rise in
  prominence in Israel and a REAL STAR does lead
  the wise men to the Messiah.
• Can God be so subtle? Can God be so creative? The
  answer is obvious

32

• The KEY is Jesus is the Christ and the events of
  his life were prophesied,
• We see in scripture HIS life predicted (and the
  events surrounding him) in many places very
  clearly AND in others a bit more obscurely
  nevertheless, just as validly.

Validated!
PROPHECY about the details of Jesus life,
ministry, healings, preaching, suffering,
crucifixion Resurrection!
33
JEREMIAHS USUSAL PASSAGE
Odd

• This passage in Jeremiah is unusual and
  describing something very unnatural.
• We can interpret it metaphorically to describe
  end time events (Jacobs Trouble) being so
  horrific that men travail with panic and fear
  like a woman in child birth!
• But did you notice I wrote, like a WOMAN in
  child birth?
• That certainly would be more natural and expected
  especially since that metaphor is used at other
  times and places in scripture.

34

• But the fact that Jeremiah speaks about the
  unnatural (and up until modern times impossible)
  symbolism of a man in labor giving birth to a
  child means this passage is LOADED!
• It is loaded with curiosity, with confusion, and
  with unexplainable meaning.

35

• We can read it and grasp something of a very
  unusual and different event happening in the
  future but other than that we are left grasping
  for more.
• There is a sense that something is MISSING and we
  are out of the loop to its full MEANING.
• We generally lay such passages aside or gloss
  over them trying to be satisfied with what we do
  understand about them.

36
An announcement that unlocked what was missing...

• That has all changed with the announcement of a
  male being pregnant!
• No one would have thought it possible or even
  desirable until our day.
• Like with other obscure prophecies being
  fulfilled both metaphorically and LITERALLY, so
  is this passage (Jeremiah 306).

Metaphorically
Literally
37

• What confirms and gives strength to this
  interpretation of Jeremiah 306 is that it places
  this unnatural, unusual, never before happened
  event in the time of Jacobs Trouble (Jeremiah
  307).
• For Bible scholars there is no question that
  refers to the Great Tribulation period. With so
  many other end time prophecies having already
  been fulfilled such as (highlights on next page)

38
Highlights given without detailed explanations

• 1) Israel returning to their land on the precise
  prophet day on May 15th 1948.
• 2) The rise of nuclear weapons and the ability to
  incinerate millions Zechariah 1412
• 3) The rise of technology in order to control
  buying and selling Revelations 1317
• 4) The witness of satellite TV and real time news
  coverage world wide Revelations 118.
• 5) The ability to mark and track every human
  being in the world Revelations 149,
• 6) The rise of the Old Roman Empire in the form
  of the European Economic Community
• 7) The rise of the 200 million man army China and
  her allies boasted only two decades ago.
  Revelations 916
• 8) The fulfillment of Daniels end time prophesy
  Dan. 124 But you, Daniel, shut up the words,
  and seal the book until the time of the end many
  shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall
  increase."
• We are in the information revolution and
  frequent flyer miles are only a thing of modern
  times.

Only eight of nearly thirty end time prophecies
fulfilled in our day
39
Concluding

• ADD TO THE LIST
• And now add to that list an obscure passage from
  Jeremiah speaking about the time of Jacobs
  Trouble and the literal fulfillment of seeing a
  male pregnant.
• If one were going to make this up when Jeremiah
  wrote it would you describe something that no one
  would believe could or would ever happen?
• It is a very unique passage anticipating the end
  time events of wayward humanity practicing
  unnatural things.
• The Bible is on target again.

Truth
Oh, thats what God meant!
