Не поклоняйтесь идолам: предупреждение Иисуса и откровение в Библии

In this article, we will explore the warning of Jesus and the book of Revelation against idol worship and the call to repentance. Let us turn our hearts to the worship of God alone and heed the warning against idol worship.

Jesus was clear in His teachings that believers should not worship idols. In Matthew 4:10, He said to Satan, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Jesus emphasized the importance of worshipping God alone and not putting any other gods before Him.

The book of Revelation also warns against idol worship and the consequences of such actions. In Revelation 9:20, it says, “And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk.” The passage speaks of the stubbornness of those who continue to worship idols despite the consequences.

The KJV Bible calls for repentance from idol worship. In Acts 17:30-31, it says, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.” God calls all believers to repent and turn away from the sin of idol worship.

The Worship of God Alone

The KJV Bible calls for the worship of God alone. In Exodus 20:3-4, it says, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” We are called to worship God alone and not to make any images or likenesses of anything that is in heaven or on earth.

In conclusion, the KJV Bible warns against the dangers of idol worship and the importance of repentance. Jesus emphasized the need to worship God alone, and Revelation speaks of the consequences of idol worship. Believers should take heed of the warning against idol worship, repent of any idolatrous practices, and devote themselves fully to the worship of God alone. As it says in 1 Corinthians 8:6, “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” Let us worship the one true God and turn away from all other gods and idols.
