Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) increase in young British women.

“Almost half a million new cases of [sexually transmitted] infection were diagnosed in Britain last year. Among women, two-thirds were aged between 15 and 24.”

These numbers increased by 12,000 over the previous year and indicate increasing promiscuity among adolescents and young adults. It is sobering to note that 11% of young women and 12% of young men experience re-infection after being treated (Express.co.uk, August 25, 2010).  Sadly, the types of STIs being contracted usually result in sterility if untreated and can greatly increase the chances of miscarriage among women.

God warned that because of the sins of Ephraim (modern British-descended peoples), the nation would experience a time in the future with “… No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.” This will occur in part through “miscarrying” and “dry breasts” (Hosea 9:10-17). Sexually transmitted diseases could certainly cause these curses. 

However, The Bible reveals that obedience to God and His ways brings blessings, “I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren [sterile] in your land…” (Exodus 23:20-26). God speed the day when all will obey God and experience the rich blessings of obedience!
