Ezekiel 8:15
“Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.”
Three times God told Ezekiel “And thou shalt see greater abominations than these.” In verses 6, 13, & 15. And each time God showed Ezekiel more and more wickedness from the Temple in Jerusalem. All these abominations Ezekiel saw in chapter were being carried out in God's House. Paintings and statues of false gods were all over the walls. The statue of a false god was standing guard at the door. Even the women were worshiping a false god, Tammuz, the queen of heaven. And the priest allowed all this to happen and even participated and led in the worship of false gods in the very House of God.
And what do we see in many churches today? Though we do not worship the same as Israel was supposed to in Ezekiel's day. We are to be taking our worship of God just as seriously as they were. False gods and idols have no place where we come to worship God. God is a jealous God and will not tolerate abominations from His children. It was these abominations by God's people that caused the downfall of Israel, Judah, and Jerusalem. Is it any wonder our nation is in the shape it is in today? Look at the abominations of God's people in the land. Idols and false gods everywhere. And yet we expect God to protect us from the enemy.
Time and time again, God has warned His people in His Word about these things. And here we are, doing exactly what He told us not to do.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
