IT’S IN THE BIBLE – MOLECH
TODAY
The evil god, Molech (Moloch),
required child sacrifice from those who worshipped him. In Old Testament times,
cultures all around God’s people worshipped Molech, and so did some of the
Israelites surrender their children to his fiery arms. God said don’t do this: “And
thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech” (Lev.
18:21). Child sacrifice, including killing a child before birth, is not
justified in the Bible. God’s Word says children are a blessing, but our
actions say we don’t believe it. We’ve come up with all kinds of “reasonable”
rebuttals as to why we aren’t carrying out God’s will concerning children.
The media and society have
duped Christians and non-Christians alike into believing various acceptable
answers to why abortions are justified. Some of the reasons we’ve accepted are:
“I’m not ready to be a mother,” “I’m not ready to have a family,” “I’m not sure
I even love this person,” “I can’t afford to have a child right now,” “It’s just
a part of my body and not really a child anyway,” and so many other answers
that sounded so right. But we have been cleverly manipulated away from God’s
truth and tricked by the spirit of Molech.
I don’t blame the people
who let themselves get talked into abortions, but I do blame those who did the
subversive manipulation and those who let it slide. We need to repent.
Take, for instance, the
adage of the women’s movement that says a woman’s body is her own and she has
the right to choose whether or not she aborts a child growing within her. Yes,
God gave every person the right to choose, but it’s not wise to go changing the
Bible to fit our contemporary thinking. Instead, we need to change our contemporary
thinking to what the Bible says.
God’s intent is that men and
women who marry are making a life commitment to become one with each other.
After making that commitment, they consummate the marriage with intercourse
which often produces a child. A wife has no more authority over that child than
the husband. They are joined together in conception, as the man’s sperm finds
the woman’s egg, and the miracle of the couple’s shared love begins to grow
within the woman’s womb. That was God’s plan because He knew what would be best
for His precious human beings. Just because it doesn’t work that way in our
cultures doesn’t mean we can change the rules. When we replace God’s decrees
with our own canons, we get into a mess every time.
Abortion is just one
aspect of child sacrifice to the devil. We’ve seen virgin sacrifices throughout
history in Mesopotamia, Africa, Mayan, and Inca cultures. It is practiced today
throughout the world, including Europe, the United States, and perhaps most
countries of the world, as the human trafficking tunnels circulate the globe.
In 2018 in Arkansas, a
sculpture of the Ten Commandments was destroyed and replaced with a statue of Molech.
Molech’s image is a hollow brazen figure, with the head of an ox with big horns
and outstretched human arms. It was heated red-hot by fire from within, and the
little ones were placed in its arms to be slowly burned, while to prevent their
parents from hearing their dying cries, the sacrificing priests beat drums.
Molech was the god of the
Ammonites and Phoenicians. This same god was known as Saturn in Carthage, founded
in the 9th century BC by the Phoenician city of Tyre. Carthage
is in Tunisia (just across from Italy). Both the god, Molech, and the god,
Saturn, represented the planet Saturn. The Phoenician-Semitic nations referred
to their god Molech or Saturn as a kakodaimonos (evil spirit) to be appeased by
human sacrifice. This child sacrificing practice was carried over into Italy
and to Rome.
(Suppose you want to know
more about the practices centering around Molech and the history. In that case,
there is an excellent source: a free book online by Charles Rollin called The
Ancient History of The Egyptians, Carthaginians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes
And Persians, Macedonians And Grecians.)
In Leviticus, where it
says not to let any child pass through the fire to Molech, it also says: “Thou
shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt
thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman
stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion” (Lev. 18:22-23).
And what does God say is
the result of these actions: “The land is defiled and the land itself vomiteth
out her inhabitants” (v.25). People just want to be loved and do the right
things, but we’ve been tricked into doing unnatural things, by demons and
demon-inspired, and demon-possessed people. In 2 Chronicles 33:1, God tells us
that Hezekiah’s son “did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.”
“And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son
of Hinnom [Molech worship]: also he. . . used enchantments, and used
witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit and with wizards: he wrought much
evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger” (v. 6).
Sorry Disney lovers, it’s not okay to speak lightly
about using magic wands and speaking special “magical” phrases, not even in
jest. Your brain doesn’t know the difference, and your words will bring the
opposite of what you want into your house and life. It may be a little more
work, but it’s God’s will for us to speak of His miraculous doings. There are
plenty of those in the Bible. We need to bring them into our everyday speaking.
Hosea 4:6 tells us: “My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Well, now we know, so
we can repent of the things we’ve let our mouths utter, and we can consciously
change them.
In Jeremiah 7:31, we see
that good people again turned away from simply following God’s ways. They “have
built the high places in the valley of Hinnom, to burn their sons and daughters
in the fire; which I commanded them not.” The next few chapters go on to say
what the result was, and again, the land suffered, the animals and vegetation
suffered.
“How long shall the land
mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that
dwell therein? The beasts are consumed, and the birds;
“Many pastors have
destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made
my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They have made it desolate, and
being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate because no
man layeth it to heart” (Jer. 12:4,10-11).
The sacrifice of human
unborns, babies, children, and adults is A BIG DEAL! People are horrified by
what’s happening on the earth to animals, trees, the weather, and other humans.
The sacrifice of so many
children sends the message of death to every living creation on earth, under
the earth, and in the sea. If humans are willing to sacrifice our own progeny,
then how can the rest of creation respond? All creation on earth is under the
care of us humans. “The heaven, even the heavens,
are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men” (Ps. 115:16).
We need to repent for what
we’ve done and what we’ve allowed. Let’s admit to the Lord that we were thinking
wrong and now we are truly sorry for it. God forgives ALL our sins, including
murder, and He is willing to give us a new start. And He will heal our land. 2
Chronicles 7:14 says: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
We need to take a close
look at what we’ve done and what we’ve supported because those pushing these
things and keeping supporting them are bowing to the modern-day Molech. Molech
is a horrible demon with a voracious appetite for the innocent young ones.
Remember, the devil hates humans because God loves them. God made humans His
priority, even over all the angels, Lucifer, and the other evil spirits included.
Lucifer was furious over this decision and has been trying to kill as many
humans as possible ever since, in as many ways as he could get away with.
Let’s take a stand against
this evil power, fight it, and take it down. Let’s support new families and do
what we can, including prayer for our children's protection, health, and
education.
