And Exod. 34.13 But ye shall destroy their altars and break their Images and cut down their groves And Numb 33.52 Then ye shall drive out all the Inhabitants of the land from before you and destroy all their molten Images and quite pluck down all their high places And Deut. 7.5 But thus shall ye deal with them ye shall destroy their altars and break down their Images and cut down their groves and burn their graven Images with fire And again Deut. 12.3 And you shall overthrow their altars and break their pillars and burn their groves with fire and you shall hew down the graven Images of their Gods and destroy the name of them out of that place In all these places were they strictly commanded to beat down and destroy all Images for Religious use and all such Idols out of their land This is often repeated to them that they might be sure to take great Care to do it And they were commanded to cast away the very gold and Silver that was upon them as a cursed thing and not to take it to them that they might not be snared thereby Deut. 7.25 26. The graven Images of their Gods shall ye burn with fire thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them nor take it unto thee lest thou be snared therein for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house lest thou be a cursed thing like it but thou shalt utterly detest it and thou shalt utterly abhor it for it is a cursed thing Here we see what cursed and abominable things Images are to Almighty God and that his People and Servants are commanded to abhor and detest them and not to take so much as the gold and silver that was upon them lest they should bring a Curse upon themselves thereby And this one might think should be enough to keep all good People from all Image-worship and to make them abhor all such thoughts And we may see that all good Kings and Princes did beat down and destroy all Images and such Idols according to the Commands of Almighty God Moses burnt the Calf that Aaron had made and ground it to Powder and cast it upon the water and made the Children of Israel to drink of it notwithstanding it doth appear that it was made for the Service of the true God Exod. 32.20 Hezekiah brake down the Images that were set up to be worshipped in Judea and is commended for doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord 2 King 18.3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord He removed the high places and brake the Images and cut down the groves And yet Rabshakeh pretended that he had broken down the Altars of the Lord. Josiah brake down all the Images that he met with in his Dominions and is commended for a good King and for doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord 2 Chron. 34.2 And he destroyed Jeroboam's Altar at Bethel and it is like his Calf too if it were to be found and was not destroyed before 2 Kings 23.15 And yet Jeroboam pretended to serve the true God by his Calves as I have shewed before King Asa also destroyed the Images and all such Idolatrous Worship and is commended herein for doing that which was good in the eyes of the Lord 2 Chron. 14.2 King Hezekiah also brake in pieces the Brazen Serpent that was set up by Moses when it was abused to an Idolatrous use that it might be no more an occasion of Idolatry 2 King 18.3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord He removed the high places and brake in pieces the brazen Serpent that Moses had made for unto those days the Children of Israel did burn incense to it This we see can be no Plea for Idolatry and Image-worship because he brake this brazen Serpent to pieces when it was thus abused to an Idolatrous use and his commended for doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord. These we see brake down and destroyed all Images and such Idols and are commended for their practice in so doing And we may see that Shadrach Meshach and Abednego would not be driven to worship the golden Image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up by all the threatnings and Terrors that he could use tho' he threatned to cast them forthwith into the midst of a Fiery Furnace if they did it not Dan. 3.15 And because they would not break the sacred Commands of Almighty God and commit such wickedness as the King commanded them but were resolved to part with their Lives tho' it were in this terrible and dreadful manner rather than do so God did in a wonderful manner deliver them and they received no harm at all tho' they were cast into a fiery Furnace as we see in that Chapter Again farther we may see that God hath declared himself to be a jealous God and that he will not part with his sacred Rights and give his Worship to Images and Idols and that a Wo and Curse is denounced against such Idolaters and that they are like to be shut out of the Kingdom of Heaven and to go to the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone God declareth himself to be a jealous God in the second Commandment upon this account Exod. 20.5 Thou shalt not bow down thy self to them nor serve them For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God And so Exod. 34.14 For thou shalt worship no other God for the Lord whose Name is jealous is a jealous God And saith he Isa 42.8 I am the Lord that is my Name and my Glory will I not give to another neither my Praise to graven Images And saith Moses Deut. 4.24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire even a jealous God God we see hath flatly declared that he will not part with his Sacred Worship and Service and let them be given to Images and Idols and hath oft declared that he will be full of jealousie and Fury when men set up Images and such Idols to rival him And a Curse and Wo is denounced against such as worship Images This is the first of Moses's Curses Deut. 27.15 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten Image an abomination unto the Lord the work of the hands of the crafts-man and putteth it in a secret place and all the people shall answer and say Amen Tho' this should be done secretly yet he that should do it is here pronounced Cursed And saith the Psalmist Psal 97.7 Confounded be all they that serve graven Images that boast themselves of Idols worship him all ye Gods And saith the Prophet Isaiah Isa 42.17 They shall be turned back they shall be greatly ashamed that trust in graven Images that say to the molten Images ye are our Gods And Isa 45.16 They shall be ashamed and also confounded all of them
