2 | Christmas tree or other OT custom? | Jer 10:4 | Hank | 138721 | ||
NiecieReed - Jeremiah 10:2-5 refers to the religious practices of the nations, showing in graphic detail the futility of worshiping idols. Even though the practice of decorating the 'wood cut from trees' with 'silver and gold' [vs. 3 and 4] may bring to mind the modern custom of decorating the Christmas tree, the passage from Jeremiah has nothing to do with it. A contextual reading of this satire on idolatry in Jeremiah makes clear that the subject is indeed idolatry and not Christmas or Christmas trees. --Hank | ||||||
