IDOLATRY AND PAGAN GODS WORSHIP

One unique aspect of the Bible, that being the very Word of God to us humanity, it addresses in a very detailed manner the abomination that exists towards the only Living God when a people or an individual turn to idle worship and pagan gods as their source of spiritual guidance and companionship.

Rainbows: The Sign of God's [No Flood] Covenant

Rainbow over grass landscape (full size, click here)

So, what is a rainbow?

rain·bow  

/ˈrānˌbō/

Noun An arch of colors formed in the sky in certain circumstances, caused by the refraction and dispersion of the sun's light by rain or... Any display of the colors of the spectrum produced by dispersion of light.

Synonyms bow - arc           From the human/scientific observation we know that a rainbow is a refraction of light as it crosses through a medium such as water and humid air (in the case of a rainbow) that separates the light spectrum. However, there remains a bigger question; how come it doesn't happen throughout an entire high humidity and rain combination of weather? (How come you can't create a rainbow yourself all that easily without a prism?) The answer is that there is another factor in play that we don't see, unless we read a source that actually tells us the why, the who, the where, and the how. And that source is the Bible The Word of God. What does the Bible say?                      A rainbow appears where most people in the area (if not all) can see it during rainfall (before, during, or after) as an automated signal to humanity of God's covenant with us of no more diluvian-scale floods throughout the planet. So, when it rains and we see a rainbow we can rejoice and be thankful that God is signaling to us, whichever town it may be on, that His word has not expired and the word He gives us is never broken. Genesis 9:8-17 King James Version (KJV) 8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,  9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;  10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.  11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.  12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:  13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.  14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:  15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.  16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.   In courtesy of biblegateway.com            For more exotic rainbow wallpapers visit funonline.in.

The Full Picture (Theology), Christianity, Who is Jesus C./Yahshua Ha'Mashiach?

          There are three major areas in Theology in which of that the mainstream (The System) is keeping most people in the dark about when it comes to understanding their reality respectively:

1) The Devil/Lucifer the fallen angel ('Satan' = the adversary, or his original God-given name 'Lucifer' = light bearer) and his principalities that he governs are very deceptive and powerful. 

In fact, they are solely subjectively responsible for our fate as humans in this world via their introduction of sin, which led to our own fallen state of existence; limited physical abilities which are even scientifically evident (we're are in a physical limited state to the use of our bodies as well). Just to give you a hint on this whole study within itself: the average human only uses (on an average estimate) 10% of the brain, but in many instances also a lot more than that famous '10%' [on the positive side] (see article: Do we use only 10 percent of our brain?).

Bible verses in reference for this topic:

2 Corinthians 11:14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (©2009)
And no wonder! For Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. ~ Apostle Paul
Psalm 8:5/Hebrews 2:7 King James 2000 Bible (©2003)
For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor. ~ King/Prophet David and Apostle Paul (Man [humanity] is the subject in context on these chapters/verses, meaning that angels are more powerful than us in many different ways)

There are many other verses in the scriptures in the topic of Angel-ology. I leave that research to you since it is another very interesting subject.

2) Christianity is not just another "religion" like we have termed it in time, or Satan has helped us label it to then try to point the finger; Christianity is a whole social movement and a change in lifestyle, an ideology and doctrine. 

That is why many ancient Roman emperor-dictators were so concerned with Christians right after Jesus's time and in which actually persecuted and killed thousands, including Jesus's last remaining apostles (ie: John the Apostle/Prophet and Saul of Tarsus or by his Godly-Christian given name 'Paul'). The Christian persecution topic is a whole other study on itself, but I will live it there for now.

Bible verses in reference for this topic:

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ~ Jesus C.

Romans 12:2 King James 2000 Bible (©2003)

And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ~ Apostle Paul

Evidence of social persecution:

Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you. ~ Jesus C.

3) Jesus Christ is not just our great redeemer from sins and savior, and not just another 'deity' (mainstream); Jesus Christ, as the translation comes to us via the Hebrew and Greek, as He has presented Himself to us here on Earth, is also our co-creator, and of course by God Himself and the many authors of the Bible He is the only son of God.

The Curse and Blessing of the Languages (The Tower of Babel)

          God did not just separate the world into many languages for the talent of tongues. Everything Yahweh does has a strategic purpose, and it can be multi-leveled and/or multi-purposed. By splitting the world into languages from the beginning Satan will never be able to get all nations and all of humanity on-board conspiring against Him and His Creation. Also, at the present time when God released this curse He bought time for the people of which believed in God at the time (the fall of the Tower of Babel) to preserve their beliefs from Satan's progress among the populations. So that the language barrier locked-in their faith and as a result making it harder for Satan's efforts to paganize the many cultures, and this way the path for Christianity was helped to be paved.

Remember, God knows and holds the present and the future at the same time and all of the outcomes possible in within each realm of space. God is both omnipotent and omnipresent as described by the Bible His word. Satan also works similarly this way, but one cannot even compare him/it of course.

Isaiah 14:24-27

King James Version (KJV)

²⁴ The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
²⁵ That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
²⁶ This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
²⁷ For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Psalm 139:7-12

King James Version (KJV)

⁷ Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
¹⁰ Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
¹¹ If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
¹² Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

The Presence of God (Examining the Presence of the LORD)

          Many of us wonder what it would be like to be in the presence of God (Yahweh, Jehovah, Elohim) himself the Lord of lords and King of kings, the mystery which we cannot fathom in its origin unless He spoke to us about His own self. Maybe in some distant future that information will be revealed to us, maybe not in our current state of reality. Well, the great news is that the Bible being the only Word of God and inspired by God himself tells us about God's nature when He has been physically present to humanity.
          The first questions to pose in examining the presence of God from knowing his power in the scriptures is are we spiritually ready for the presence of God. The second question to follow immediately is could we physically bare his presence, are we also physically fit.

          First, I will point-out the key terms about God's presence as described in the Holy scriptures from my studies reading it:

•  Does not tolerate and despises, and condemns sin; lawlessness, corrupt/immoral human behaviors in His presence
• Appears to specific parties or persons that meet His sought-out criteria
• Appears in any form of our natural Earthly elements
• Interacts in the most intimate ways possible with the party or person (Father figure)
• Keeps His party or person at a distance (for safety, maybe)
• Has never taken on human form (chooses to shows His true original state, maybe)
• May have stopped appearing to humans because we're too far in our human state of impurity (sin) to even bare His presence (maybe a factor)

In the following passage the presence of God appears to Moses:

Exodus 3:3-10

New King James Version (NKJV)

Moses at the Burning Bush (verses 1-10)

³ Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”

⁴ So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

⁵ Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” ⁶ Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

⁷ And the Lord said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. ⁸ So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. ⁹ Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. ¹⁰ Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” (God's presence continues until chapter 4, verse 17)

The presence of the Lord is described as a heavy dark cloud:

1 Kings 8:10-13

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Ark Brought into the Temple (verses 1-13)

¹⁰ And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, ¹¹ so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.

¹² Then Solomon spoke:

“The Lord said He would dwell in the dark cloud.
¹³ I have surely built You an exalted house,

And a place for You to dwell in forever.”

The presence of God is described as fire:

2 Chronicles 7:1

New King James Version (NKJV)

Solomon Dedicates the Temple

7 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

The presence of God appears to Ezekiel in the form of fire/bright amber with an upper and lower body (but not a human) on chapter 8:

Ezekiel 8:1-8

New King James Version (NKJV)

Abominations in the Temple

8 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there. ² Then I looked, and there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire—from the appearance of His waist and downward, fire; and from His waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber. ³ He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my hair; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy. ⁴ And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the plain.

⁵ Then He said to me, “Son of man, lift your eyes now toward the north.” So I lifted my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the altar gate, was this image of jealousy in the entrance.

⁶ Furthermore He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations.”⁷ So He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, there was a hole in the wall. ⁸ Then He said to me, “Son of man, dig into the wall”; and when I dug into the wall, there was a door. (God's presence continues throughout the remaining of the chapter)

The presence of the LORD is depicted as possibly to have been involving an air transportation vehicle, or perhaps something more complex than one can imagine here in this following passage:

Ezekiel 10:18-22

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Glory Departs from the Temple (verses 1-22)

¹⁸ Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim. ¹⁹ And the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

²⁰ This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel by the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim. ²¹ Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. ²² And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. They each went straight forward.

  

In conclusion, God appears only to those that He needs to appear to (need-to-know basis). God must approve/conditions must be met in both the spiritual and physical sense for His Glory to dwell anywhere among our plane of existence. His presence right now on our own times in the timeline of human history would in many ways not fit to us if we see the why's and study the situations back in the times when He was physically appearing to us. God was active in human affairs in the physical sense as it was all according to His plans for humanity of course, and other reasons that we yet haven't been given. No doubt, God is always active in within all that exists in His creation even at this very moment. Although, right now He is in a passive and physically retreated inter-dimensional presence within our physical realm. Perhaps our DNA structure and spiritual make-up have changed in state as not to be able to communicate with God after the sin clock reached a certain stage. It may be that we would only be able to bare Jesus's presence for the time being soon to come. Jesus is precisely fit to interact with humanity being our Savior as we know and have felt through the scriptures and the Holy Spirit.
Moreover, if God were to appear to anyone right now they'd probably faint from His energy and Glory. Maybe even die instantly from various physical  properties being suddenly altered in the surrounding space (maybe). People would know God's physical presence from miles away from the energy alterations (perhaps another possibility). There are some Scientific explanations that can be drawn of course as to why God stopped physically appearing to humanity I'm sure. The scriptures have a lot of Science (and have always had) to dig into coming from the creator of all Science Himself. 


Something to note: one must remember that God created us under His own image (Genesis 1:26-27), so if He has appeared to humanity as something other than Human, which has been the case, then we can conclude that our likeness to Him would be more in the spiritual/intelligent sense than in the physical sense.
