Bible Question: HOW DID GOD WARN THE ISRAELITES ABOUT THEDANGERS OF IDOLATRY? HOW DID THEY RESPOND |
Bible Answer: Hello dltlshines, Here is how God warned the Israelites: The very next verse says, "Yet the LORD warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets.” And here is how the Israelites respond (in the very next verse and following verses immediately after that [2 Kings 17:14-18])... "However, they did not listen, but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God. 15They rejected His statutes and His covenant which He made with their fathers and His warnings with which He warned them. And they followed vanity and became vain, and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the LORD had commanded them not to do like them. 16They forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal. 17Then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and practiced divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him. 18So the LORD was very angry with Israel and removed them from His sight; none was left except the tribe of Judah." (NASB) --Nicodemus |
