The Rise of False-Worship Globally. Part [9] 08/01/2024 (Morning thought)

Numbers 23:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

Question: So, if the people bowed down to gods of wood and stone, how can David say, by inspiration of the Holy Ghost, that they were worshiping devils, and the next logical questions is this: Are all forms of false worship, in fact devil worship, to a greater or lesser extent? The answer to this question must be given in clear lines, for earth’s inhabitants must be made aware of what is at stake, as the world is hurtling towards the mark of the beast, the epitome, and the zenith of all false worship since the beginning of time.

When persons leave the true worship of God, and attend services that are not endorsed by the Bible, they too will most likely never see any live devils in the congregation, for the modus operandi of devils is to basically remain hidden from view. In fact, this format of remaining hidden from view is also adopted by holy angels too. When you hear a pastor, elder, or lay person say that the presence of God and holy angels is here, they say so by faith, but in reality, the immediate presence of all holy beings is beyond our gaze, for the most part.

Yet, God receives the true worship that is given to Him and holy angels are present to do God’s bidding as He directs. The same format of being present, yet hidden is also true of devils, who often pervade the atmosphere where false worship takes place. And satan, and his hosts are there to receive all the worship that is rendered at the venue in question. Thus, whenever, and wherever you have erroneous doctrines, and concepts, philosophies, and errors being presented by those who may know better, the worship of devils is taking place.

Deuteronomy 32:16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Rise of False-Worship Globally. Part [8] 08/01/2024 (Evening thought)

Psalms 106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. 37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and daughters unto devils, 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

When individuals in bygone years claimed to have worshiped gods of wood and stone, the Scriptures clarified who they were actually worshipping. It was not merely the productions of their hands, nor the vain imaginations of their minds. It was actually satan who was being worshipped, for all of the false concepts, practices, and productions pertaining to false worship are centered in him, and originate from him.

Thus, according to the Bible, any person who bowed down to idols, or who venerated man, even though in most cases they might have been ignorant of the fact, were actually worshipping devils. The Psalmist in the above passage makes a specific mention of the instance, which took place at Baal-Peor. He is referring to the event where Balaam had invited the children of Israel to join the Moabites in worshiping their false gods. The Hebrews accepted the invite, and the rest is history.

At the venue in question, there were no visible, live devils, who would certainly have scared the people. It was just your regular graven image that they were bowing down to but the Scriptures certify that there were invisible agencies present, who received their worship.

1st Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
