OUR FATHER CHALLENGES THE IDOL MAKERS

In Isaiah chapter 44 verse 10, the Lord asks this question;

Who shapes a god and casts an idol,  which can profit nothing?

Isaiah chapter 44 verse 11 then follows with the response to the question describing the consequenses that would be upon those who deemed it their role to make idols.

People who do that will be put to shame; such craftsmen are only human beings.

Let them all come together and take their stand; they will be brought down to terror and shame.

For mere human beings to presume that they have the power to craft gods out of wood and stone that other people should worship defies common sense.

How could a man imbue an inanimate object with qualities worthy of deification by another person?

The Lord foretells that they will be put to shame. 

He invites these craftsmen to assemble and make a case for themselves and demonstrate the power of the idols they create  but predicts that they will be brought down to terror and shame when their demonstrations fail.

As 1 John chapter 5 verse 21 says;

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
