Pray.
For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.
In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit,
so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation.
Pray.
For protection, provision, and peace
for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!
As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints
take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
For us to receive and put on the full armor of God as we begin this hour,

His carved image. He falls down before it and worships it, prays to it and says,
“Deliver me, for you are my god!”
Isaiah 44:17
Today, we finish Chapter 14 and begin 15 in Jonathan Cahn’s THE RETURN OF THE GODS. We are seeing just what evil is taking place in our nation, against the backdrop of Ancient Israel! There is nothing new under the sun! Pray.
The Mars Hill Mystery When the apostle Paul came to Athens, a city filled with gods, altars, and idols, his spirit was, as recorded in the Book of Acts, “…provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.3 When he later stood on Mars Hill before the city’s leaders, he addressed the worship of idols: Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.” He was using the same argument presented by the prophets. They were worshiping that which they themselves had devised, what their own hands had made. In speaking of the creation of idols, the apostle used the Greek word “techne.” From that same word, linked to the idols of man, we get the modern word technology. In other words, technology comes from a word used in Scripture in connection with idols. Pray.
The High-Tech Idol America was largely responsible for ushering in the age of high technology and for creating the modern computer. The computer represented the most sophisticated and advanced work of man’s hands, the most advanced form of man’s techne. And in the age of apostasy, it has become among the most powerful of man’s idols and the most complex of the Baalim. Under the spirit of Baal, the Israelites worshiped and served the works of their hands. Under the spirit of Baal, America did likewise. The ancient idols were deaf, blind, and mute, unable to move or act. But the high-tech idols of the modern world were more powerful; they could see, hear, and speak, and do almost anything. And each generation became more attached to them, more plugged in, and more addicted to them than the generation before. And each found it harder to break free of their spell. Pray.
The Breach of Reality In the pagan world it was not only the god who was worshiped but the idol, the image of the god. The idol and the god were one. Image became reality; reality became image. So in the paganization of America and modern culture, the line between image and reality was likewise breached. Image became reality, and reality became image. More and more people were living more and more of their lives in a virtual world, a world of fabricated virtual reality. The virtual became increasingly real, and the real became increasingly virtual, just as truth became increasingly virtual. American and modern culture was now saturated with a flood of images and sounds that signified nothing—a hymn to the idol. Pray.
They Will Become Like Them The Book of Psalms reveals a profound truth concerning the dynamic between the worshiper and the idol: “Their idols…have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see. Those who make them are like them.” In other words, the one who makes, serves, or worships an idol will end up being transformed into its image. So the new technological idols, the digital Baals, would begin altering the nature of man. Computers began taking on human functions, abilities, and similitudes. Artificial intelligence was increasingly rivaling human intelligence and taking over its functions. At the same time, man, increasingly joined to his computer, began taking on the qualities of his digital master. The more one was joined to a computer, the more one began functioning as its appendage. So computers became more human, and those joined to them became less and less so. As the ancient warning of Scripture had foretold, those who made them had now become “like them.” Pray.
The Machine Man The line between man and machine was blurring. There was more and more talk and experimentation involving merging man and technology, whether through digital implants or other technological enhancements of human abilities. The line became even more blurred as people began having sexual and romantic relationships with robots. But even this was part of the ancient mystery of paganism and the gods. In paganism man creates gods and worships the works of his hands; the creator worships his creation. The line between creator and creation is blurred and breached. So if technology is the creation of man, then the pagan blurring and merging of God and man will be manifested in the blurring and merging of man and his technology, creator and creation, man and machine—a hybrid of both. American and Western civilizations had now created the most powerful of idols. And the present generation, more than any other, now served its own creation, its new master, the techne of its own hands. It was the day of the new masters—the age of the technological Baalim. Pray.
Chapter 15 The Arch
Beyond the molten bull another sign of Baal appeared in America, and again in New York City. And on the day of its appearing, the city would hold a celebration in its honor. Baal’s role in Israel’s fall was critical. The nation would be destroyed, but Baal would go on. He was worshiped throughout the Middle East up to the first centuries of the present age. In the first century, in the city of Palmyra, in what is now Syria, a temple was built for his worship. A century later a second temple of Baal was built in the same city, nearby the first. The first would be known as the Temple of Baal, or the Temple of Bel, after the god’s Babylonian name. The second would be known as the Temple of Baalshamin, referring to the god as the Lord of the Heavens, or the Baal of the Sky. Both temples would remain standing for nearly two thousand years.
Less than a hundred years after the building of the Temple of Baalshamin, a monumental arch was added, the Arch of Palmyra. It was built to connect the Temple of Bel with the city’s main colonnaded avenue. The arch was the gateway through which the inhabitants of Palmyra would enter in order to worship their supreme deity. It stood in between the two temples. In the spring of 2015 the jihadist organization Isis invaded Palmyra. After gaining control of the city, its soldiers began the systematic destruction of the city’s ancient buildings and artifacts. After surviving nearly two thousand years of history, the two temples of Baal were destroyed, as was the arch between them. Pray.
The Mystery Object In September of the following year, a mysterious object appeared in New York City, mysterious as it was shrouded in white cloth so no one could actually see it. It was massive, nearly eleven tons of Egyptian marble and rising nearly twenty feet from the ground. It was an arch, a massive recreation of the arch that led to the Temple of Baal. It had appeared in London and would later appear in other Western cities, including Washington, DC. But the appearance of the arch that had served as the entranceway to Baal’s Temple in New York City was especially significant. New York City had played a central role in America’s apostasy from God and, in many ways, served as the capital of that fall. It had functioned as a conduit for Baal’s entrance into American civilization. Pray.
City of Baal And it was New York City in which stood America’s modern equivalents to the temples of Baal, its houses and monuments of materialism, increase, and gain. It could even be said that New York City was itself a spiritual Temple of Baal. Even the location of the arch within the city was significant. It was erected in Lower Manhattan at the entrance to the city’s Financial District. Nearby was Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and the other sign of Baal, the molten Bull of Wall Street.
- As the Arch of Palmyra once stood as the entranceway to the Temple of Baal, the arch in New York City now stood at the entranceway to America’s temples of Baal.
- And as the ancient arch had connected Baal’s temple with the city’s main avenue, the re-created arch stood by New York City’s most famous and main avenue, Broadway, the modern equivalent to the Great Colonnade at Palmyra.
- So too did the molten bull; the two symbols of Baal were joined. The specific site chosen for the arch was also significant. It was erected on the grounds of City Hall, New York City’s central seat of government. And the city officials would take part in its unveiling. Pray.
The Unveiling On the morning of September 19, 2016, New Yorkers gathered around the arch for a special event—its unveiling and presentation. By the arch stood a sign placed there by the event’s sponsors on which the name of Baal appeared. Among the speakers at the unveiling was the city’s deputy mayor, who described the erection of the arch as an “act of defiance.” Providing the ambiance for the event was a band playing Middle Eastern music evocative of the sounds that would have accompanied the music played in ancient times in the Temple of Baal. It was to those Middle Eastern sounds that the massive sheet covering the object was pulled away and the arch revealed to the applause of the gathered spectators. Pray.
We pray:
- That America would smash her idols and turn back to God. Let us humble ourselves. ask Him to forgive our infidelity, and invite Him to take His rightful place as SOVEREIGN LORD in our midst! Pray.
- For President Trump: Guard, guide and govern his every word and action; protect him from all enemies, without and within; help him discern rightly about counsel given by those who advise him. Pray.
- In thanksgiving for all the conservative candidates who will “stand in the gap” with us and our President, engaging in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA, and rejecting the “usurper” and those pulling his strings in this faux administration, removing them from office! Pray.
- Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Pray.
