IDOLATRY

 Part 2,

I continue to speak on idolatry for it is a very important subject, and this sin, as all sin will keep you out of Heaven. Of course, if you are involved in the worship of idols, you care less about the Supreme Being who has created you. But I hope, you are not one of those people. Anyway please read this little message today.

I have talked about dumb idols on my first message. The prophets have spoken about this issue often. Let me now write something the prophet Yirmeyahu has written under the inspiration of the Ruach HaQodesh (Holy Spirit).

“Hear the Word which Yehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel. Thus says Yehovah:

“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles (Uncircumcised people); do not be dismayed at the signs of Heaven. For the Gentiles are dismayed at them. For the customs of the peoples are futile;

For one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.

They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple. They are upright, like a palm tree, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor can they do any good.

Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah 10:1-5

I do not have to expound on the above verses, for they are clear enough, yet so many people even in these last days make idols, and even kiss them, as though that man- made thing is able to hear and feel. They are so foolish as the idol is. When I have spoken to some people on this subject they answer me: “Oh, we do not worship them.” They represent the person, be that God, or some other dead person. (See Shemot/Exodus 20:1-6) I wrote this passage in the last message. What they do is they are disobeying the Elohim they say they worship. This does not go well with Him.

They do not realize that, in reality, they are connected to demons who follow and obey Satan.

Satan the fallen angel. Who was he?

“You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of Elohim; every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created. You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of Elohim; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in you ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.”

Yechezqel/Ezekiel 28:12b-15

He had been created by Elohim. He is not the creator. He was given great wisdom, and now he uses these gift to corrupt the people. He was in a high place close to Yehovah, but he was not happy. He became proud and wanted to take the place that belongs only to Yehovah. He always wanted worship, and still does, one way or another. Remember that he came to tempt Yehoshua.

Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Yehoshua said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship Yehovah your Elohim, and Him only you shall serve.” Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 4:8-11

He still wants to ascend to the highest place and be worshiped as Elohim (God), although he was cast out with the angels who followed him. The Word of Yehovah declares:

“By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; Therefore I cast you out as a profane thing out of the mountain of Elohim; and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings that they may gaze at you.

Yechezqel/Ezekiel 28: 16-17

Do not be deceived Satan has as much power as you give him. He tried, but could not make the Son of Yehovah bow the knew before him in worship! How dare he came to GOD Himself and tempted Him with pride, the same pride that caused him to fall down from Heaven. And pride is the major issue in his life, and puts it on mankind.

Therefore he uses statues and other practices, such as miracles to deceive people and cause them to sin. He can make a statue to cry, or to shed blood, or he can make a man to bleed from his hands, to receive worship. We have seen false miracles in the catholic church, and other groups.

Satan has something very persistent and powerful in mind, which is taking the worship away from our Creator and giving it to him. Especially now that the time is short before his final end, he is working over time to deceive as many as he can.

When a person worships idols, becomes as them. They actually become demon possessed and can no longer reason, for demons are controlling them. I know, I was an idolater. I worshiped Miryam (Mary) and all dead saints. I was lost and did not know. I prayed to the idol of Miryam, but there was no answer. I prayed many rosaries, but to no avail. No answer! Until one day, after I gave my life to Yehovah and believed in Yehoshua as my Savior, King, Bridegroom, and yielded my life completely to Him, He revealed to me the that statue of Miryam was an idol. Yehovah revealed to me. I saw in the spirit two other figure on top of that statue. You see, Miryam is not another Elohim, or another Savior. She only bore Yehoshua. That was her calling with Yoseph. But she was a sinner as everyone of us. She herself said,

My soul magnifies Yehovah, and my spirit has rejoiced in Elohim my Savior.

Luqas/Luke 1:47

She only had one thing to do: give birth to the Son of the living Elohim, so that herself one day could be saved with all mankind. The false teaching that she is co-Savior is false and it is idolatry, and it cause souls to pray to her. It is a disgrace to the work of the cross and to Yehoshua. He finished the work of redemption of humankind. We cannot add anything to it.

Yehovah had to show me what He thought of this evil disgraceful lie of Satan that the church has accepted and taught as truth.

He told me to burn the statue with fire.

“You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Yehovah your Elohim. Nor shall you bring an abomination in to your house, lest you be doomed to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is an accursed thing.”

Devarim/Deuteronomy 7:25-26

His Word cannot be disputed it.

I knew now I was in trouble, and needed to obey Him immediately. I have written a book called, NEW LIFE AND GLORY, you may want to buy it on Amazon. If you will read it, you will learn that indeed the statue and other idols were burned to ashes, but not by my own made fire, but Yehovah’s fire. He literally sent the fire from Heaven to burn the idols.

He hates idolatry. He has created us for Himself, but Satan wants us to leave our faith in our Creator, so that he can reign. But he never will. His destiny is already written down.

The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Chazon/Revelation 20:10

And this is why he wants to hurt as many as he can with false doctrines. He wants to take them with him to that lake of fire to be tormented forever and ever.

Until next time

Shalom
