OUR FATHER WHO QUESTIONS CREATING AND PROMOTING THE USE OF IDOLS

The book of Isaiah chapter 44 verses 9 - 10 says this;

All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless.

Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.

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

The Lord, in this passage, puts the idol making industry to shame. 

Those who make idols, as they try to confer value on the idols they make, are themselves rendered valueless.  They try to cherish worthless things and then try to induce other people to  value the things that are valueless.

Even the people who promote the adoption of these idols are blind and ignorant and bear their responsibility for doing so.

The question posed by the Lord  is, who, in their right mind would engage in such an enterprise which profits nothing?

Amen.
