“And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them. And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day. Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.”
2 Kings 10:26-28 KJV
They hauled out the sacred phallic stone from the temple of Baal and pulverized it. They smashed the Baal altars and tore down the Baal temple. It’s been a public toilet ever since. And that’s the story of Jehu’s wasting of Baal in Israel. The LORD had commanded, “‘Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molded gods: I am the Lord your God.” Jehu obeyed the LORD. We ourselves have turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. In the age to come nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Amen!
