There are many idols men serve and show great reverence to ,most are dead and still held high,some are still with us.
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. Psalm 106:36Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
Isaiah 2
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 1 Chronicles 16:26
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Revelation 9:20
...and of colorful cloth and paper and plastic and computer screens which neither can see nor hear nor walk.
And the biggest idol of them all!

So true ,so many idols so little time.
ReplyDeleteI tried to put up Liberty on her side and I couldn't. 'error' kept popping up.
Liberty by Babylons definition is an error :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the URL didn't show up right for the Statue of Liberty article.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to comment on something I recently came across. If we are living in the latter years of this age, doesn't it seem logical that God would clarify the role of the most powerful & influencial nation (United States) in the history of the world? But He didn't. Why not? Based on Iran not corporating with the U.S. may seem to indicate that the answer is right before our eyes. Do you have any thoughts on this--America as we know it, not being in end times prophecy?
Also, I read a beautiful commentary/article on the ships of Tarshish as you reminded me of your mentioning of them in the above Scripture. Very exciting to read how the ships of Tarshish actually voyaged a lot further than ending their pursuits in Spain or Sri Lanka as some prophetics ponderers believe, but there is overwhelming evidence that these same ships of Tarshish not only circumnavigated the horn of Africa but transversed the Atlantic to the New World and, as suggested in National Geographic and others, may have had extensive trading centers in North America and certainly there is sufficient evidence to indicate their landing at least in Brazil.
Ezekiel 27: 12 - Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in the fairs.
I think it's very likely about Tarshish trading far and wide especially after reading their biblical exploits.
ReplyDeleteThe know it all wise men and scientists suffering from arrogance causing dementia are almost always proven wrong.

I have to disagree,
The greatest power on earth in the history of the world ,how could God have miss this ?
The U.S. is all over the place from Daniel where the wings of the eagle are torn off the lion, Britan.
In Obadiah the Eagle makes her nest in the stars.Who has a space station ?
There are so many scripture's relating to the U.S.
I only gave you a few.
I think the problem might be who is teaching you or what you may be reading .
I find that idol worshiping patriotic american apostate ,blind,Christians always ignore the elephant in the living room and tell us 'she's not there'.
I used to follow these blind guides and believe their lies ,then I started reading the bilbe and seeking the Lords wisdom and not man's.
The bible is full of accounts of the end of the great Babylonian empire which covers the earth with her pollution,false gospel of democracy, dollars,trade and filth.
I read the information from www.the-tribulation-network.com "Some symbolism that the United States may fit into" Part 20. I somehow thought you had passed this website along in one of your posts of last week, asking if viewers had read this? I probaly should of asked, if the US is brought down, how does the nation show up in the final end(Gog/Magog, and beyond - if it has already been destroyed)? Sorry for the confusion.
ReplyDeleteMarcel, I feel the need to spell out my last post more clearer...(tell me if I should not be posting here relating to this and I will stop) because His truth is marching on!
ReplyDeleteThe clarity that comes from what is listed below rings in as truth. I might be off, but his explaination here, well...
Hitchcock concludes that the young lions of Tarshish alludes to Western Europe, not the United States. Along with his rejection of America as Babylon or the unnamed nation of Isaiah 18, ‘I conclude that the role of the United States in the end times is not specifically discussed in the Bible. This is actually quite remarkable when you think about it. If we are living in the latter years of this age, doesn't it seem logical that God would clarify the role of the most powerful, influential nation in the history of the world? But He didn't. Why not?’” (Ibid.) (Editor’s Note: “Quite remarkable indeed!” So remarkable that the Almighty must be adjudged as remiss in His assignment to Ezekiel? Dumping on the Europeans the burden of Antichrist—because that’s where Hitchcock and Johnson are leading with this—is utterly disingenuous. As if the Ships of Tarshish ended their pursuits in Spain or, for that matter, Sri Lanka. Fortunately, there is overwhelming evidence that these same ships of Tarshish not only circumnavigated the horn of Africa but transversed the Atlantic to the New World and, as suggested in National Geographic and others, may have had extensive trading centers in North America, and certainly there is sufficient evidence to indicate their landing, at least, in Brazil. Why does Hitchcock stop the Ships of Tarshish at the Pillars of Hercules? Because it fits his American predispositions/presuppositions to a tee! Time and research are not the friends of Brother Hitchcock when it comes to the Ships of Tarshish and their American exploits.)
Now comes the prophetic pondering of Dr. Johnson – and, finally, the fourfold elimination of the zenith of Gentile World Powers, with the query: “What is America’s Future?” – in sum, fairly bleak, because America is NOT mentioned, according to the two witnesses, Johnson and Hitchcock:
If America is not specifically referred to in Bible prophecy, what are the options for its future? If the Lord does not return for some time, the present superpower status of the United States could certainly fade, since it has been little more than a century that America has been a powerful presence on the world stage. However, if you believe, as most pre-trib scholars do, that the signs are ripe for the soon return of Jesus, then the question of America's fate in the near future is a relevant one. Let's look at the four options suggested by Mark Hitchcock.
(Editor’s Note: If the “signs are ripe” for the imminent return of Jesus Christ, as most pre-trib scholars do, then we better get real interested in America’s fate because she’s NOT involved, even as a “bit player” (as Hal Lindsey suggests) – so ipso facto SHE GONE! (Please use a heavy American accent when saying the last two words, as in SHEEE-GONNN – and in a hurry! So here are your four options according to Hitchcock, and Johnson, who’s right in there with Mark:
...and the article goes on furthering different "Options"
I decided to go ahead an post all that garbage from Hitchcock.
ReplyDeleteIt's no wonder the church is in such confusion and salt less.
I do thank God I never heard of either of them and if I had their book's I would burn them and stick with Jesus leading me instead !
It's as if they has replaced Jesus,His word and his Holy Spirit this johnson & hitchcock ?
I'm not pre trib and see the great damage the early rapture lie has cuased the Church in Coma.
You really think there are that many Christian's in WICKED,PERVERTED America that even if the fasle early Rapture happened that anyone would notice ?
It's easy to understand when the rapture occurs from Jesus own words in Matthew 24. last trumpet
When you remove all the false teachers and blind leading the blind like blind guide Hal Lindsey it's much easier to listen to Jesus teach us by His Holy Spirit and not be confuesd and deceived.
Those who hear the voice of the 1 Shepherd are not listening to Johnson,hitchcock or Hal and deceived.
America will be made an example of to the world by God for judgment on wickedness and perversity.
That is our end as it is written in the word of God.
That is the chief export of Ameirca along with war.
Burn your books of confusion and deception and lies, Jesus returns at the last trumpet which is after ........
verse 29 ;
'But immediately after the tribulation of those days '.......
Those deceived by the early escape will have their faith shaken to the core and many will turn aways ,angry at God for not rescuing them when they thought He should have.
Just as God kept the Hebrew slaves protected in Goshen while he brought 10 tribulation style plagues on Egypt so too will He protect His small, faithful remnant who do not bow to the anti-Christ government now being set in motion by the USA, Babylon the great.
Are you prepared to see AMeirca's destruction before you are raptured out of here ?
I urge you to burn the book's and stick with the bible.
You will be less easily deceived.
Amen! Marcel you said...I urge you to burn the book's and stick with the bible.You will be less easily deceived.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any of their books either nor do I care to. For the record, if I may...here is a small part of an email I mailed to a sister in Christ over the weekend.
... "it saddens me and almost angers me when we speak to people and some of these should know better...but they KEEP RESISTING..They only care
about what it is that they are doing, selfish!. I'm sick to death of it all!
They want information given over in a silver-patter, they don't want to read, pray study. I am tired of the heads in the sand--including the Mark Hitchocks of the world! I'm walking away from all of them,...needing to keep the oil of the Lord, buying the truth and selling it not. I am so frustrated with CHRISTIANS I
don't know what I am going to do with myself!!! Christians got God all figured out how they know him, but He does not care how much we know Him. He said, Depart from me I NEVER KNEW YOU...many times in the gospels...huge difference between life and death! So little time and still stiff-necked and uncircumsied in heart.
Are you prepared to see AMeirca's destruction before you are raptured out of here ?
I may not have everything together, I'm still trying to see many things, moving, preparing physically with food, etc. and I'm sure I know a whole lot less than you do...I can vouch for that, but I do know NOT TO frustrate the Grace of God and how He works, if we are willing to listen, how He wills to keep us on the strait and narrow and that can only come by prayer and obedience.
Thank you for your time...earnestly appreciate it.
amen.
