We read from law and the
prophets every Sabbath like they did in the Book of Acts.
Acts: 13 [15] … after
the reading of the law and the
prophets…
Once upon a time, Christmas
was banned in 1659 in the new land know as America.
Always remember: Embellished made-up
stories are still lies!
Another year goes by and a new generation of the

Today’s
topic:
Let’s talk
about some images:
The

So here we have it, in the beginning, we are made
in God’s image
Gen. 1 [26] And God said, Let us
make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female
created he them.
Images
from the other side of the flood
Gen.31 [19]
And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had
stolen the images that were
her father's.
[34] Now Rachel had
taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat
upon them. And Laban
searched all the tent, but found them not.
God’s
second commandment:
Lev.26
[1] You
shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a
standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to
bow down unto it: for I am Yehovah your God.
[2] You shall keep My Sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuary: I am Yehovah.
[3] If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
[4] Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her
increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Molten images
Graven image
Image of Baal
Images of men
Deut.27 [15]
Cursed be the man that makes any graven
or molten image, an abomination unto Yehovah, the
work of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place. And all the
people shall answer and say, Amen.
סֶמֶל semel {seh'-mel} or סֵמֶל semel {say'-mel} Meaning: 1) image, statue, idol
Ezek.8 [1]
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of
the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that
the hand of the Lord Yehovah fell there upon me.
[2] Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the
appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from
his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber.
[3] And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine
head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought
me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looks
toward the north; where was the seat of the
image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
[4] And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to
the vision that I saw in the plain.
[5] Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way
toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold
northward at the gate of the altar this
image of jealousy in the entry.
[6] He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest
you what they do? even the great abominations that the
house of Israel commits here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn you yet again, and you shall see greater
abominations.
[7] And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
[8] Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I
had digged in the wall, behold a door.
[9] And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that
they do here.
[10] So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and
abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the
wall round about.
[11] And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of
Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah
the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his
hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
[12] Then said he
unto me, Son of man, have you seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do
in the dark, every man in the
chambers of his imagery? for they say, Yehovah sees us not; Yehovah hath
forsaken the earth.
[13] He said also unto me, Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater
abominations that they do.
[14] Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Yehovah's
house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for
Tammuz.
[15] Then said he unto me, have you seen this, O son of man? turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations
than these.
[16] And he brought me into the inner court of Yehovah's
house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of Yehovah,
between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their
backs toward the temple of Yehovah, and their faces
toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
[17] Then he said unto me, have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a
light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they
commit here? for they have filled the land with
violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the
branch to their nose.
[18] Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare,
neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice,
yet will I not hear them.

1) image, idol
Dan.2
[1] And in the
second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from
him.
[2] Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers,
and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the
king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
[3] And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit
was troubled to know the dream.
[4] Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack,
O king, live forever: tell your servants the dream, and we will show the
interpretation.
[5] The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from
me: if you will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation
thereof, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
[6] But if you show the dream, and the interpretation thereof, you shall
receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream,
and the interpretation thereof.
[7] They answered again and said, let the king tell his servants the
dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
[8] The king answered and said, I know of
certainty that you would gain the time, because you see the thing is gone from
me.
[9] But if you will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one
decree for you: for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before
me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know
that you can show me the interpretation thereof.
[10] The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, there is not a
man upon the earth that can show the king's matter: therefore there is no king,
lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any
magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
[11] And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is none
other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not
with flesh.
[12] For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded
to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
[13] And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and
they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
[14] Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch
the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of
Babylon:
[15] He answered and said to Arioch the king's
captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch
made the thing known to Daniel.
[16] Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him
time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.
[17] Then Daniel
went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael,
and Azariah, his companions:
[18] That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this
secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise
men of Babylon.
[19] Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
[20] Daniel answered and said,
Blessed be the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
[21] And he changes the times
and the seasons: he removes kings, and sets up kings: he gives wisdom unto the
wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
[22] He reveals the deep and
secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
[23] I thank you, and praise you, O you God of my fathers, who have
given me wisdom and might, and have made known unto me now what we desired of you:
for you have now made known unto us the king's matter.
[24] Therefore
Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had
ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the
king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation.
[25] Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the
king in haste and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of
Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
[26] The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art you able to make known unto me the dream
which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
[27] Daniel answered
in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded
cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show unto
the king;
[28] But there is a God in heaven
that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall
be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed,
are these;
[29] As for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind upon your
bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals secrets makes known
to you what shall come to pass.
[30] But as for me, this secret is not
revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their
sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that you might
know the thoughts of your heart.
[31] You, O king,
saw, and behold a great image. This
great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and the form
thereof was terrible.
[32] This
image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly
and his thighs of brass,
[33] His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
[34] You saw till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of
iron and clay, and break them to pieces.
[35] Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold,
broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing
floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and
the stone that smote the
image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
[36] This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof
before the king.
[37] You, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given you
a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
[38] And wheresoever the children of men
dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into your
hand, and hath made you ruler over them all. You art this head of gold.
[39] And after you
shall arise another
kingdom inferior to you, and another
third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
[40] And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as
iron: forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things: and as iron
that breaks all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
[41] And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and
part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the
strength of the iron, forasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
[42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so
the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
[43] And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle
themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even
as iron is not mixed with clay.
[44] And in the days
of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be
destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall
break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
[45] Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain
without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the
silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come
to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof
sure.
[46] Then the king
Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that
they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him.
[47] The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of
gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you could reveal
this secret.
[48] Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great
gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon,
and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
[49] Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of
Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
Another Image
Dan.3
[1] Nebuchadnezzar
the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six
cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
[2] Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes,
the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors,
the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of
the image which
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
[3] Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the
judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the
provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar
had set up.
[4] Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people,
nations, and languages,
[5]
That at what time you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image
that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
[6] And whoso falls not down and
worships shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
[7] Therefore at that time, when all the
people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all
kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and
worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
[8] Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and
accused the Jews.
[9] They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live forever.
[10] Thou, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear
the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all
kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
[11] And whoso falls not down and worships, that he should be cast into
the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
[12] There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the
province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego;
these men, O king, have not regarded you: they serve not your gods, nor worship the golden image which you
have set up.
[13] Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought
these men before the king.
[14] Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not you serve my gods, nor
worship the golden image which I have set up?
[15] Now if you be ready that at what time you hear the sound of the
cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, you
fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if you worship not, you shall be cast the same hour
into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall
deliver you out of my hands?
[16] Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer you
in this matter.
[17] If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning
fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
[18]
But if not, be it known unto you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden
image which you have set up.
[19] Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of
fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed-nego: therefore he spoke, and commanded that
they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
[20] And he commanded the most mighty men that
were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
[21] Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their
hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the
midst of the burning fiery furnace.
[22] Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the
furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
[23] And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery
furnace.
[24] Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied,
and rose up in haste, and spoke, and said unto his counselors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?
They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
[25] He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the
midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like
the Son of God.
[26] Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery
furnace, and spoke, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
you servants of the most high God, come forth, and
come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
came forth of the midst of the fire.
[27] And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, upon
whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of
their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had
passed on them.
[28] Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, blessed be the God of
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his
angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the
king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship
any god, except their own God.
[29] Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language,
which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be
made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this
sort.
[30] Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
The pagan
Ephesians
Acts.19 [35]…
You men of Ephesus, what man is there that knows not how that the city of the
Ephesians is a worshipper
of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Rom.1 [21] …
when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was
darkened.
[22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[23] And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,
and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.
[24] Wherefore God also gave
them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their
own bodies between themselves:
[25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served
the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
[26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
[27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was
meet.
[28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God
gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
[29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers,
[30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors
of evil things, disobedient to parents,
[31] Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural
affection, implacable, unmerciful:
[32]
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy
of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
At the end another image
to be aware of:
εἰκών eikon {i-kone'}
Meaning: 1) an image, figure,
likeness 1a) an image of the things
Rev.13 [1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name
of blasphemy.
[2] And the
beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the
feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him
his power, and his seat, and great authority.
[3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast.
[4] And they
worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the
beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who
is able to make war with him?
[5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to
blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and
to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds,
and tongues, and nations.
[8] And all that
dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world.
[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.\
[10] He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he
that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience
and the faith of the saints.
The false
prophet
[11] And I beheld another
beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
[12] And he, The false prophet, exercises all the
power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
[13] And he, The false prophet, doeth great wonders,
so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
[14] And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of
those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that they
should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
[15] And he, The
false prophet, had power
to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast
should be killed.
[16] And he, causes all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is
Six hundred threescore and six.
600 60 6 – six numbers
Rev.14 [9] And the third angel followed them, saying with a
loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his
hand,
[10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and
he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
[11] And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receives the mark of his name.
[12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yeshua
[13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, said
the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow
them.
Rev.16 [1] And I heard a great voice out of the temple
saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. [2]
And the first went, and poured out his
vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Rev.20 [4]
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:
and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded for the witness of Yeshua, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither
his image, neither had
received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they
lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.
Rev.19 [20]
…the beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them
that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
**These both were cast alive into a lake of fire
burning with brimstone.
AMEN!
In
closing for today:
Watch out
for false images.
Watch for falseness,
lies, and unrighteousness
Remember it is, “tis the
season to be false”!
I am reminded again to
inform you to beware of the false image
of love, false image
of emotions, false image
of loneliness, false image
of depression, financial drain and suicide. The artificial, false
festival lights they put up really set the stage to deceive you.
Be aware of Satan, the
old serpent
Shabbat
Shalom
