“And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.”
Judges 18:31 KJV
So they enshrined the idol Micah had made, and they made it their own even though the proper house of God stood at Shiloh. Inspite of being told by Moses they must not have any other god but Yahweh and they must not make for themselves an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea, they enshrined this idol and worshipped it. This brought them under a curse and the land allotted to them was regularly encroached by the Philistines till they went with the rest of Israel into captivity hundreds of years later. We thank God that Jesus became a curse for all under the curse of idolatry. Yet, Christ paid the full price to set us free from the curse of the law. He absorbed the curse completely as He became a curse in our place. For it is written: “Everyone who is hung upon a tree is cursed.” So now we are free to receive blessings from Yahweh, the Source of all Blessings! Thank You Jesus!
