worshipped idols.
We may find this strange to understand but the situation was different then.
People believed that idol worship brought benefits. otherwise they would not
have done it. We too under pressure, emotional strain, or exceptional
circumstances may be tempted at times to do things we would not normally agree
with. #
Yair
You are so correct, I have done this also and need to repent. I looked the
scriptures you quoted at various times and studies and said to myself, how
could they worship these that are nothing??? Then smugly think that I would
never do the same. I wont get into what I did as most would think of it as
nothing, but it was.
When you are trying to return with all your heart soul and strength to the
only Mighty One of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.......

Peace again.
When reading about that in the Scriptures, I wondered much myself why were these
people so stubborn in following idols.
But after reading Velikovsky, there might be a quite a reasonable answer to the
problem - although this is not properly speaking an excuse for idolatry: these
people went through very much, many strange and terrifying phenomena in the
nature and sky around and especially above them, and despite the Divine miracles
offered to them, they saw the other happenings as proofs of the big force of the
other gods as well, so they worshipped them as well, just in case...
In some places it is question/hint of the gradual desertification of the region
in the 14th-7th centuries BCE, so maybe these people felt under strain and
appealed to all the divinities they knew about, not fully trusting in God and
not being patient for Him to come with a solution.
The Brit-Am enterprise is a Biblical work. God willing, they who assist Brit-Am will be blessed.

Brit-Am is the "still small voice" that contains the truth.

FIRE: AND AFTER THE FIRE A STILL SMALL VOICE.
