Deuteronomy 7: 25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
[Signs of the Times April 21 1881 Par 17] Sin is corrupting in its nature. One man infected with its deadly leprosy may communicate the taint to thousands…. So, the question is: what constitutes the accursed thing, or accursed person in our day? The answers to this question may surprise you. We will do five categories because of the constraints of time, but if and when you get a chance, look up the accursed thing or the abomination in the Bible, and see what you get.
Category [1] Graven images of gold and silver, made to worship and adore…. Deuteronomy 7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing…. Wherever there is an unusual, insatiable craving for idols made of gold or silver, and wherever there are statues for worship, adoration or self-exaltation, you will most likely find the accursed thing, or accursed persons in the midst.
Category [2] The presence of an overabundance of lies, and blatant falsehoods, repeated without any compunction of conscience….. Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight…. Wherever there is an over-abundance of lies, each and every day and wherever truth has become as an endangered species, there, you will most likely see the accursed things or accursed persons present.
Isaiah 59:4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
