The breaking down of idols is the hardest thing to do in our lives, as followers of Christ. We have all been brought up in the ways of this world; we all learned the ways of the Greek Education system and philosophy, which contradicts the ways of the True Living God. We (Cherie & Me) have told the Lord to show us the idols we have put before Him and to please open our eyes to it that we may see and then give us understanding about how to break the idol down in the Name of Jesus. The Lord has taken me through His Holy Word to gather instances when His people would not break down the idols they had set before Him. When we read the scripture and allow the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to it, then it takes on life. We have used the KJV, and will sometimes use the Literal Translation of the Holy Bible, and Young’s Literal Translation; we sometimes use the Hebrew Transliteration also for even deeper study.

Exo 34:12-16 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. read the entire chapter online here http://www.forgenerations.net/scriptures/KJV/ot/2exodus/02_034.htm

1Ki 11:6-11 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. read the entire chapter online here http://www.forgenerations.net/scriptures/KJV/ot/11-1kings/11_006.htm

2Ki 17:9-20 And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger: For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God. And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should

not do like them. And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal. And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. read the entire chapter here http://www.forgenerations.net/scriptures/KJV/ot/12-2kings/12_017.htm •
Exo 23:24-25 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. read the entire chapter here http://www.forgenerations.net/scriptures/KJV/ot/2exodus/02_023.htm
As you can see the Lord dealt with His children when they did not follow His commandments and statutes. We all are guilty of putting our country and flag above the Lord. We were lied to and made to believe that it was proper to be patriotic and serve our country in the name of God. This just is not correct. As you have read in the Truth Document, Living in the World, our leaders do not follow Jesus Christ as the Way; they follow Satan. (http://www.forgenerations.net/truthseries/pdf/litw.pdf) The Lord revealed to us we needed to repent from pledging allegiance to a Flag that represented a satanically driven country. Think about it: we pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of America … What is different from the rulers then and rulers now? Nothing. They all have set their ways against the Lord and have set up high places in groves and built idols. They burn incense to them and worship other gods. Refer to http://www.forgenerations.net/bohemiangrove.html for more information. We have encouragement in this though through a story of 3 men who got thrown into a furnace for not bowing down to an idol of the King in the land, and the Lord redeemed them because they had the faith to proclaim their God will deliver them. •
Dan 3:16-18 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. read the entire chapter here http://www.forgenerations.net/scriptures/KJV/ot/27-daniel/27_003.htm
We also are told that we cannot desecrate the Flag in any manner. You can only desecrate something if it has been dedicated as a sacred item to a Deity. Therefore, making the Flag a dedicated, sacred item, and if we pledge allegiance to it, then we are putting it before our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This is just one example of things that we have put above our Lord and God is saying it is time to come out of Egypt and worship me, the One True Living God.

I will continue to pray for you and that your eyes and ears are opened to the Lord’s revelation of this world and the reality that He is returning very soon. We must count ourselves worthy to enter into the Kingdom of God.
