The philistines took the Ark of God from Israel and placed it in front of Dagon god!
1Sa 5:4, … THERE WAS DAGON, FALLEN ON ITS FACE TO THE GROUND BEFORE THE ARK OF THE LORD. THE HEAD OF DAGON AND BOTH THE PALMS OF ITS HANDS WERE BROKEN OFF…
The head (wisom) and the hands (strength) were broken off from dagon! THERE IS NO WISDOM NOR STRENGTH FOLLOWING THEIR SO-CALLED god CREATED BY MEN!
Jer 10:8, BUT THEY ARE ALTOGETHER DULL-HEARTED AND FOOLISH; A WOODEN IDOL IS A WORTHLESS DOCTRINE.
1Sa 5:10, Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!”
THE GLORY OF GOD DID NOT DEPART FROM ISRAEL, BUT ISRAEL DEPARTED FROM THE LORD! THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO REJECT THE OBVIOUS TO BELEIVE A LIE
Psa 19:1-3, … THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD; AND THE FIRMAMENT SHOWS HIS HANDIWORK. DAY UNTO DAY UTTERS SPEECH, AND NIGHT UNTO NIGHT REVEALS KNOWLEDGE. THERE IS NO SPEECH NOR LANGUAGE WHERE THEIR VOICE IS NOT HEARD.
JUST LOOK UP AND SEE THE HIS DESIGN! FOR WHERE THERES A DESIGN THERE IS A DESIGNER! THE FATHER OF LIGHTS CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, MAN AND BEAST!
