Immigrants fleeing to
America would see the torch bearing giant, “Statue of Liberty” as they approached New York and word quickly spread
around the globe that here was no ordinary lady but a 'Mother of Exiles' offering a new
life.
Its proper name is "Liberty Enlightening the World."

The American people have,
from America’s inception been just like the children of Israel. American’s love
to honor God with their lips but not with their actions much like the Israelites.
Jesus echoed His Father’s Words from Isaiah
29:13-14 in Matthew
15:8-9 when the “Religious” men tried to entrap Him with their worldly
teachings.
America prides itself on
the saying that they have always been a “Christian” Nation even though there is
NO TRUTH in that saying. From the beginning of American history we find
rebellious men who wanted their own personal freedoms to worship whoever and
however they wanted. The early settlers came here to escape the rule of the
church in Europe bringing with them pagan idolatry found in the “church” they
were trying so desperately to escape.
Any object that takes
the place of or is fashioned after mankind is considered an IDOL.
Throughout
scripture God has spoken time and again about the idols of man and how they
MUST be destroyed.
Today we will discuss a
few of the IDOLS and Pagan gods America has allowed to separate them from God.
Statue
of Liberty

| Roman goddess Libertas and the Statue of Liberty |
The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to
land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall
stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes
command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities
frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!”
cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your
poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe
free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to
me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
In
her poem "The New Colossus," Emma Lazarus calls the "Statue of
Liberty" the "Mother of Exiles." But the truth is Libertas
signified freedom of action, freedom from restraint, independence, rights, and
related forms of personal and social liberty. The liberty she promises is
slavery to this world's system.
As the USA became a nation, Lady Liberty became part of the official symbology
of some of its newly formed states. Holding Her Liberty Cap atop the Liberty
Pole, Lady Liberty appears along with the Goddess of Justice on the New York
State Flag. On the obverse of the Great Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
created in 1776, Liberty holds the Liberty Cap atop a pole in her right hand
and is flanked on her left side by the Roman goddess of Eternity (Aerternitas)
and on her right by the goddess of Fruitfulness (Ceres). In addition, the goddess
Liberty, also with a Liberty Pole and Cap, appears with Ceres on the front of
the Great Seal of New Jersey, adopted in 1777.
To many contemporary Wiccans and other Pagans, Lady Liberty is more
than a symbol. She is a powerful and ancient goddess who can guide, inspire,
protect, and comfort. Pagans have invoked Lady Liberty in rituals for personal
and/or social liberation. Some Pagans include her image in their household
shrines and altars. Because of her ancient Pagan origins, Lady Liberty is an
excellent goddess to work with in support of Pagan religious freedom.
Selena Fox executive director of the
Lady Liberty League and high priestess of Circle Sanctuary encourages others to
worship Lady Liberty with meditations and rituals. Here are some of her Pagan
suggestions:
Personal
Liberation: Call to mind
a habit you wish to break or a restrictive situation you seek release from.
Imagine it taking the form of a chain binding you. For a few moments,
experience its restrictions and the problems it causes. Then, invoke the
Goddess of Liberty to come to your aid. Imagine her wearing a Liberty Cap and
carrying a Liberty Pole. Imagine your chains falling away as She touches them
with the Liberty Pole. Imagine her placing her Liberty Cap on your head. As you
experience yourself wearing her Cap, allow guidance to come to you about
specific things you can do in your daily life to break the habit or change the
situation and take on healthier behaviors. When this guidance comes to you, imagine
the Goddess giving you her Liberty Pole as well. Give thanks to her. Write down
the guidance you received and other impressions. Select an action that can help
your situation and do it.
Lady Liberty
Feast Day Celebration:
Begin the day with a Lady Liberty meditation. Call to mind her image and
imagine her standing before you. Invoke her by at least one of her names:
Liberty, Libertas, Lady Liberty, Goddess of Liberty, and/or Goddess of Freedom.
Then name and give thanks for each of the freedoms that you experience in your
own life. If you are an American, do your meditation on July 4 and work with her
Statue of Liberty form. If you are from another country, select the date and
image that you feel is most appropriate.
Religious Freedom
Support: Do this ritual
to send spiritual support to Pagans and others involved in religious freedom
cases. Obtain an image of Lady Liberty, such as a sculpture, illustration, or
photograph. Set it on a central altar and position the image so that it faces
the direction where the person and/or group needing help is located. Place a
piece of paper with the names of those needing help before the image. Around
this, place and light white votive candles, one in each of the compass points, plus
a fifth on top of the paper naming those needing help. Invoke the Liberty
Goddess by repeatedly chanting her ancient name, Libertas. Peak the energy and
then be silent for a time. Imagine she is in your midst, holding her Flame of
Freedom high, and facing in the same direction as her physical representation
on the altar. Welcome her and then ask her to guide, protect, and support those
in need. Then chant the names of those in need and as you do, imagine Lady
Liberty being with them. As the chant peaks, imagine those in need glowing with
Lady Liberty's Light and receiving strength, healing, protection, guidance, and
support from her and from you and others taking part in the ritual. Then give thanks
to Lady Liberty and ask her to continue to work her magic on the situation. Use
the Lady Liberty physical representation again in additional rituals or, if you
feel it is appropriate, give it to those in need as a reminder of the support
they are receiving from Lady Liberty and those who took part in the ritual.
You shall not make idols for yourselves, nor shall you erect an image,
a sacred pillar or an obelisk,
nor shall you place any figured stone in your land so that you may bow down to
it; for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1
El-Shaddai
abhors this world's evil system, based on the system begun in ancient Babylon
by Nimrod and Semiramis. New York City, the modern Babylon, and banking capital
of the world, home of Wall Street, and every wicked vice and every financial
fraud and deceit, is the symbol of this world's system of financial enslavement
and captivity. It is only fitting, in a sense, that the statue of the original
"Queen of Heaven," the "goddess of fortifications," the
Queen-Mother of Babylon, also known as Isis, Cybele, Feronia, Ishtar, Astarte,
Ashtoreth, and Easter, should sit astride an island at the mouth of her
world-renown harbor, beckoning to the world, "Come hither."
But
El-Shaddai, our Father in heaven, says, to the contrary, "Run away from sexual immorality” with this world's evil and
corrupt system of rebellion against El-Shaddai and His laws (1
Corinthians 6:18). Paul says, "Be not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And
what communion hath light with darkness? What concord hath the Messiah with
Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement
hath the temple of YHWH with idols? For YE are the temple of the living Elohim:
as YHWH hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their
Elohim, and they shall be my people. Wherefore COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, and be
ye SEPARATE, saith YHWH, and touch not the unclean thing [or crooked business
deal, or pagan doctrine or practice!]; and I will receive you, and will be a
Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith YHWH
Almighty" (2
Corinthians 6:14-18).
YHWH
{Jehovah God} demands that His followers NOT have anything to do with the Pagan
Idols of this world yet “Christians” today tolerate every idol in America by
pretending they do not exist or just turning a blind eye. The Word of God gives
us explicit instruction on what to do about the idols in the land.
You shall not bow down to worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do [anything] in accordance with their practices. You shall completely overthrow them and break down their [sacred] pillars and images [of pagan worship]. Exodus 23:24
But you shall tear down and destroy their [pagan] altars, smash in pieces their [sacred] pillars (obelisks, images) and cut down their Asherim {Symbols of the mother-goddess Asherah, usually a tree or pole dedicated to her and placed near her many shrines} Exodus 34:13
You shall not make idols for yourselves, nor shall you erect an image, a sacred pillar or an obelisk, nor shall you place any figured stone in your land so that you may bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1
But this is how you shall deal with them: you shall tear down their altars and smash to pieces their sacred pillars, and cut down their Asherim (symbols of the goddess Asherah), and burn their carved or sculpted images in the fire. Deuteronomy 7:5
You shall tear down their altars and smash their [idolatrous] pillars and burn their Asherim in the fire; you shall cut down the carved and sculpted images of their gods and obliterate their name from that place. You shall not act like this toward the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 12: 3-4
Greek Parthenon to scale in Nashville, Tennessee
Originally built for Tennessee's 1897 Centennial Exposition, this replica of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece serves as a monument to what is considered the pinnacle of classical architecture. The plaster replicas of the Parthenon Marbles found in the Naos are direct casts of the original sculptures, which adorned the pediments of the Athenian Parthenon dating back to 438 B.C. The originals of these powerful fragments are housed in the British Museum in London.
The Parthenon also serves as Nashville's art museum. The focus of the Parthenon's permanent collection is a group of 63 paintings by 19th and 20th century American artists donated by James M. Cowan. Additional gallery spaces provide a venue for a variety of temporary shows and exhibits.
The goddess Athena to scale covered in pure gold stands in the Parthenon in Nashville
The Hindu goddess, Kali, goddess of destruction and death was displayed for days on the Empire State Building in New York City in August of 2015.
A replica of the arch way leading to a temple of Baal was erected in a park outside of New York City Hall in September 2016. American’s have been sacrificing their infants for years because they do not want them because they are usually a product of unprotected sexual relations that do not honor God. Satan loves for women to sacrifice their children because it gives the spirit of Baal a stronger hold on the American Society.
A statue of the goddess Athena Parthenos (goddess virgin), sculpted from 1982-1990 and covered in pure gold in 2002, now stands in a replica of the Parthenon of Athens in Nashville, Tennessee.
Saraswati, goddess of wisdom and learning, was erected on Embassy Row, Massachusetts Ave., in Washington DC, to bless our nation’s capital.
Saraswati Statue
Saraswati,
dedicated in 2013, is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and
learning. The statue is white with accents of gold. The goddess has four arms.
Her front left hand plays a musical instrument. Her back right hand holds a manuscript
that symbolizes knowledge. Her back left hand holds akshamala, or prayer beads,
which symbolize the never-ending process of learning. Three children sit at the
base of the statue reading a book. A swan is in the middle to tell right from
wrong.

This is only a small representation of the PAGANISM that is AMERICA.
There are literally 1000’s of idols in America that are honored by “Christians”
or they just turn a blind eye because they believe if they do not see it that
it does NOT exist.
I challenge each of you reading this to actually study your American
History and learn for yourself the TRUTH about the founding fathers of this
country. God has called His children to come out from among the heathens of
this world and be separated unto Him. If you are allowing any of these IDOLS to
be part of your life then you are dishonoring God just like the children of
Israel.
God will destroy America because it continues to grow more vile as each
year passes.
Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance
and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s
kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old
way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]? But
because of your callous stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are
[deliberately] storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s
righteous judgment will be revealed. Romans
2:4-5
Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day. The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish with a [mighty and thunderous] roar, and the [material] elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are on it will be burned up. 2 Peter 3:8-10
Just as God showed the people of Israel in Amos
4, He is sending out a warning to AMERICA today to REPENT and TURN from its
WORSHIP of Pagan gods and goddess’.
Just as Manasseh king of Judah brought Pagan idol worship into the
temple of God, so has America allowed foreign influences to saturate this
country and even the church will Pagan worship. America must repent or suffer
the same fate as Judah.
Manasseh brought pagan idol worship into the house of the
Lord
Manasseh was twelve years old when he
became king and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name
was Hephzibah. He did [great] evil in the sight of the Lord, in accordance with the [idolatrous] repulsive acts of the [pagan]
nations whom the Lord dispossessed before the sons
(descendants) of Israel. For he rebuilt the high places [for the worship of
pagan gods] which his father Hezekiah had destroyed; and he set up altars for
Baal and made an [image of] Asherah, just as Ahab king of Israel had done, and
he worshiped all the [starry] host of heaven and served them. And he built
[pagan] altars in the house (temple) of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My Name (Presence).” And he built
altars for all the host of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of the Lord. He made his son pass through the fire and burned him [as an offering to Molech]; he practiced
witchcraft and divination, and dealt with mediums and soothsayers. He did great
evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger. He made a carved image
of the [goddess] Asherah and set it up in the house (temple), of which the Lord said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this house and in Jerusalem
[in the tribe of Judah], which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I
will put My Name forever. And I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore
from the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will be careful to act
in accordance with everything that I have commanded them, and with all the law
that My servant Moses commanded them.” But they did not listen; and Manasseh
seduced them to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the sons (descendants) of Israel.Now
the Lord spoke through His servants the prophets,
saying, “Because Manasseh king of Judah has committed these repulsive acts,
having done more evil than all the Amorites did who were before him, and has
also made Judah sin with his idols;therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing such catastrophe on Jerusalem and Judah, that everyone who hears
of it, both of his ears will ring [from the shock]. I will stretch over
Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab;
and I will wipe Jerusalem clean just as one wipes a [dirty] bowl clean, wiping
it and turning it upside down. I will abandon the remnant (remainder) of My
inheritance and hand them over to their enemies; and they will become plunder
and spoil to all their enemies, because they have done evil in My sight, and
have been provoking Me to anger, since the day their fathers came from Egypt to
this day.’” 2 Kings 21:1-15
Christians who attend church services and worship God with their lips,
yet have their hearts in another place are not living a life of repentance. If
we do not live a life of repentance, our worship is hollow and displeasing to
God {Romans 12:1}.
Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to
present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living
sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. Romans 12:1
I encourage you to look around your home to see if you may have idols
sitting around because you thought they were no big deal. Trust God when He
says have NO other gods before Him and get rid of any Pagan objects in your
home that are giving the enemy of God a foothold into your life.
Forever In Christ Service,
Scriptures for further study
