OUR FATHER WHO WILL PRESERVE THOSE WHO TAKE REFUGE IN HIM

The book of Isaiah chapter 57 verse 7 - 9 says this;

You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill; there you went up to offer your sacrifices.

Behind your doors and your doorposts you have put your pagan symbols.

Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed, you climbed into it and opened it wide; you made a pact with those whose beds you love, and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.

You went to Molek with olive oil and increased your perfumes. You sent your ambassadors far away; you descended to the very realm of the dead!

The prophet Isaiah, in this passage, catalogues the activities of darkness that the people were participating in rather than remaining true to their own God.

They set up altars on high places to engage  with spirits from the realm if darkness with sacrifices.

In their homes, they put symbols of their pagan practices in discreet places.

They abandoned their intimacy with God and pursued intimacy with evil spirits.

They presented olive oil and perfumes at the altar of Molek to gain passage into the underworld in order to traverse the realm of the dead.

They fled from the  light of God to plumb the depths of darkness.

The Lord, through His prophet, warned the people that these idols they had followed could not save them from destruction.

Only those who seek refuge in the Lord will be saved.

As Isaiah chapter 57 verse 13 from the Amplified version says;

“When you cry out [for help], let your [ridiculous] collection of idols save you. But the wind will carry them all away, A [mere] breath will take them. But he who takes refuge in Me will possess the land [Judea] And will inherit My holy mountain.”

Amen
