”And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.“
Judges 10:6 KJV
The Israelites again did evil in the sight of Yahweh, worshipping the Baals and the Ashtaroths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, Moab and Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. Because Israel entirely abandoned the worship of Yahweh. Israel turned away from the living God and to gods and goddesses like Astartes or Ishtar, a fertility goddess of the ancient Near East; also to the chief gods of Aram - Haddad and Rimmon; to Chemosh the chief god of Moab; to Molech of Ammon; and to Dagon and Baal-Zebub, the gods of the Philistines. Where are these gods and goddesses today? At that time about three and a half thousand years ago, Israel came under oppression time and time again, because they turned away from Him. Each time Yahweh delivered the Israelites because of His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jesus came that He might destroy the works of the devil and turn all the world to Him because He loves human beings more than His Life. Let’s worship the resurrected Christ with thanksgiving in our hearts for His everlasting love and salvation! Amen
