'Idols' in the Bible
Their land has also been filled with idols;They worship the work of their hands,That which their fingers have made.
In that day men will cast away to the moles and the batsTheir idols of silver and their idols of gold,Which they made for themselves to worship,
“As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols,Whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Shall I not do to Jerusalem and her imagesJust as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
The oracle concerning Egypt.Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt;The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence,And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
“Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them;And I will confound their strategy,So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the deadAnd to mediums and spiritists.
For in that day every man will cast away his silver idols and his gold idols, which your sinful hands have made for you as a sin.
They will be turned back and be utterly put to shame,Who trust in idols,Who say to molten images,“You are our gods.”
They will be put to shame and even humiliated, all of them;The manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation.
“When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you.But the wind will carry all of them up,And a breath will take them away.But he who takes refuge in Me will inherit the landAnd will possess My holy mountain.”
