THE DANGER OF IDOLATRY
"I AM THE ETERNAL (YHWH), this is my Name!
I will not give My Glory to others
nor to pictures my praise. Isaiah 42: 8
Great will be the suffering
of those who run after other gods.
I will not partake of his blood sacrifices,
and my lips will not mention
their names. Psalms 16: 4
The remnant of mankind who did not die from these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands; they did not stop worshiping the demons and the idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, idols that can not see, nor hear, nor walk. Revelation 9:20
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? "(2 Corinthians 6:14).
LEARN FROM SOLOMON'S LIFE, THE DANGER OF IDOLATRY, TO BE DESPITE TO BE THE MOST RICH AND WISE MAN THAT ALREADY EXISTED. NOT WATCHED AND WAS DISOBEDIENT, DESPITE OF WARNED BY THE CREATOR (YHWH), WANTED TO DO HIS OWN WILL. DO NOT MAKE YOUR LOYALTY ALLIANCE TO THE ETERNAL (YHWH).
UNIUED IN MARRIAGE WITH MANY PAGAN WOMEN, WHICH DID NOT SERVE THE ETERNAL (YHWH) AND WERE IDOLATRAS. AS A RESULT, CORRUPT WAS THE HEART OF SOLOMON, STILL IN HIS OLD AGE. TO ENCOURAGE THEM THEY CREATED STATUES, ALLOWING THEY TO SACRIFICE THEIR GODS. NOT PERSEVERED TO SERVE THE ETERNAL (YHWH).
VARIOUS OTHER KINGS COMMIT THE SAME ERROR. AND HAVE DONE THAT WHICH WAS EVIL TO THE ETERNAL (YHWH) AS CONSEQUENCES: SUFFERINGS, FUNGI, DEATHS, FATALITIES, LOSSES, WAR AND TRAGEDY DISEASES.
STOP TO ANALYZE LITTLE: HOW ARE THE MOST IDOLATING COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD?
FOR EXAMPLE: AS AFRICAN COUNTRIES AS INDIA.
WHICH COUNTRIES HAVE OCCURRED THE GREAT TRAGEDIES OF THE PLANET?
FOR EXAMPLE: THAILAND, JAPAN.
I KINGS 11: 1-13
The idolatry of Solomon and the wrath of the ETERNAL (YHWH) against him
1 And king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh: Moab, and Ammon, and Edom, and Sidon, and Hittite,
2 Of the nations that the LORD had spoken unto the children of Israel, Thou shalt not come unto them, and they shall not come nigh unto you; otherwise they will pervert your heart to follow their gods. To these Solomon united with love.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives perverted his heart.
4 For it came to pass at the time of Solomon's old age, that his wives turned his heart to follow other gods; and his heart was not perfect toward the LORD'S ETERNATOR (YHWH), as the heart of David his father,
5 For Solomon followed Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6 So Solomon did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD; and did not persevere in following the ETERNAL (YHWH), as did David his father.
7 And Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of the Moabites, upon the hill which is before Jerusalem, and Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8 And so he did to all his foreign wives; who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
CONSEQUENCES OF IDOLATRIA ...
9 Wherefore THE ETERNAL (YHWH) was angry with Solomon; because he had turned his heart from the ETERNAL CREATOR (YHWH) of Israel, who appeared to him twice.
10 And concerning this matter he had commanded him not to follow other gods; but he did not keep what the ETERNAL (YHWH) commanded him.
11 Thus saith the LORD unto Solomon: For this thing is in thee, which thou hast not kept my covenant, and my statutes which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom out of thee, and I will give it unto thy servant.
12 Yet in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake; I will tear it out of your son's hand;
13 But the whole kingdom I will not rend; I will give a tribe to your son for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, which I have chosen.
God excites adversaries against Solomon
14 Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.
Idolatry is a great danger. It leads us to worship other things than the ETERNAL (YHWH). And He does not share His glory with anyone.
The ETERNAL (YHWH) is the only one worthy of Glory, Honor, Praise and our worship.
Idolatry is to put anything above the ETERNAL (YHWH) in our life. We can idolize a person, a job, a political party, money ... To avoid idolatry, we must always put The ETERNAL (YHWH) first, in everything we do.

are made by human hands. They have a mouth, but they can not speak;
eyes, but can not see; they have ears, but they can not hear;
nose, but can not smell; they have hands, but they can not touch;
feet, but they can not walk;
and make no sound with the throat. Become like them those who make them
and all that trust in them. Psalms 115: 4-8

Some of the authorities of Israel came and sat before me. Then the Lord said to me, "Son of man, these men have erected idols in their hearts and put ungodly stumbling blocks in front of you. Shall I let them consult me?" Say to them, "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Israel shall lift up idols in his heart, and put a wicked stumbling before his face, and afterward shall inquire of a prophet, I will the LORD answer him after his idolatry. he forsook them in exchange for their idols. "Therefore say to the nation of Israel, Thus saith the Sovereign LORD: Repent! Turn away from your idols and renounce all detestable practices! "When any Israelite or any alien living in Israel separates from me, erects idols in his heart and puts a stumbling block before him and then goes to a prophet to consult me, I, the Lord, myself, will respond to him I will turn my face against that man, and make him an example and an object of derision: I will cut him off from among my people: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. "And if the prophet is deceived, and I, the Lord, will have deceived that prophet, and will stretch out my arm against him, and will destroy him, and take him out of the midst of Israel my people. Ezekiel 14: 1-9
