The Last Idol and the Third Strike
* Idols are man-made objects of delusional adoration. By diverting worship from the one, true God, idols empower Satan.
* When humans reject God and lapse into idolatry, divine judgment follows. The Holy Bible gives historical examples of societies destroyed by idolatry.
* The first example occurred before the Flood, when the only thought of humanity was evil continually. This was strike one, the idolatry of carnality.
* The second example occurred when the children of Israel were expelled from the Promised Land in 586 BC for idolizing the legalistic hypocrisy and paganism that supplanted obedience to the Mosaic law. This was strike two.
* With the coming of Jesus Christ, God gave humanity a third chance. Jesus offered salvation through faith, guided by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in each believer.
* In time, zealous, God-fearing Christians migrated to a new Promised Land in America. These Pilgrims were intent upon building a righteous society surrendered to God, styled as a shining City on a Hill.
* Sadly, the descendants of the Pilgrims and members of Western society in general have progressively rejected Christianity, succumbed to carnality, and turned to the third and final idol, the satanic Beast System of almighty government described in the Book of Revelation.
* For humanity, it's three strikes and you're out. This book describes the evolving details of the Last Idol.
