Rape is a blight I will not wish on anyone.

Duet. 22: 25-26

The problem of rape has been with us for quite a while. This devastating and troubling situation impacts not only the victims but the victims family, but more so, the children of the victim.

Children of rape victims has an 80% chance of being raped at or around the same age at which their parents were raped. This is so, because the shame and the pain that are associated with raped; causes the victim to recoil in an attitude of intense secrecy. Thus their children never really understands the strange behaviors, the bouts of depressions, the mood swings, etc. of their parents.

Rape is such a devastating phenomena the occurrence of which, normally mark the creation of a family cycle. This may spans many generations unless the cycle is broken. The attitudes and other behaviours of victims are taught and communicated subliminally to their children and may spans the entire life of the affected family; being handed down from the victim to generation to generation within her line of the rape victim's offsprings.

Unfortunately the children of rape victims are subliminally taught to gravitate to the environment and in some cases to create the conditions that were present and facilitated the tradition that have blighted their family: RAPE! The blight of rape is not only cast upon the victim, but upon an entire linage of the victim. It is handed down like an inheritance to the children of victims. The dysfunction becomes their normal, for that is what they learn from the observation of their parent.

It is important to understand that a rape victim operates on a lower level than a person who have never been raped. A rape victim operates on a level of fear that gave godlike status to their rapist.

This makes it almost impossible for such people to serve Yahweh in spirit and in truth. But what does the bible have to say about rape and what are the prescribed and recommended manner in which the community ought to treat a rapist. Let's turn to: Deuteronomy 22:25, 27 KJV

"But if a man find a woman who is not a virgin in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die." The man only shall be put to death. From the word of God we can now conclude that in the view of Yahweh, rape is so despicable that he have ordained it so that one who violate a woman or a man against their will to be put to death.

In conclusion, victims if rape never really over come the trauma that was inflicted on then but they developed little coping skills to live with the devastating trauma of rape. Victims of rape are plunged into a state of insecurity they unknowingly but subliminally teaches their children.

The two to five minutes a person devote to pleasure themselves specially impacts not just your victim, but thousands of people even after they (the rapist) have die, and it hampers the victims ability to truly worshiping Yahweh.

Rape is a curse I will not wish upon anyone.
