Archs of Baal, spirit of Jezebel and who is bowing before Baal these days

Through recent years, I noticed several occasions where certain people were raising Baal's temple replicas, so called Baal's arches. Who are the people raising these fragments of Baal's temple and why they are doing that?

Who are the worshipers of Baal

When we need to know something about Baal and Ball's worship we need to go to the Bible and especially to the Old Testament, resp. Torah. We will find that Baal was pagan god whose name meaning was "lord". Baal worshipers did lot of magic rituals and sacrifices and during time of crisis they even sacrificed their children, performed ritual sex and did many other evil things. This was strictly against God's will. There are many verses, one of them is this:

And they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; thus they provoked the LORD to anger. So they forsook the LORD and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
-- Judges 2:12-13

When people lost God's way by some trick or by just simple disobedience, rebellion or pride, they often turned to false worship. This happened many times and it always had tragic consequences for Israeli people. During king Ahab and queen Jezebel reign, there were such a bad times that even prophet Elijah was complaining to God after slaughter of all God's prophets by Baal worshipers due to special orders of the queen Jezebel who hated true God's servants:

Then Elijah said to them, "I am the only one of the LORD's prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
1 King 18:22

Later on, the Lord is encouraging Elijah:

Yet I have kept for myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him."

-- 1 King 19:18

What it is about?

In history, there were always people who tempted or deceived others to worship Baal by various tricky ways. And when Israeli people started to worship Baal instead of the LORD and obeying various man-made laws instead of God's laws, they provoked the LORD and lost His protection. Then they were sooner or later devastated by their enemies and cried back to LORD the God for help. These deceivers who spread the worship of that false god were usually very influential people, civil or religious, like king Balak, queen Jezebel and some others. These people always had many paid servants and unpaid followers. These deceivers are alive in these days as well and they are often part of various NWO neo-liberals groups. They control lot of money and control many other people who might not even be aware they serve in Baal cult like this. Their agenda is wide and certain symbolic activity can be also seen in rising replicas of Baals arches in various places.

In Syria, there was one of the oldest site for Baal worshipers that suffered last round of devastation in 2015 by ISIL.

Temple of Baal in Palmyra, Syria

Very soon after that, during first half of 2016, which was particularly dark time for western world from God's law perspective, these rebelious people raised Baal's temple arches on two major metropolitan cities. On both places, no wonder, many of politicians representatives and influential people were there on opening celebration and proclaimed defiance by doing this act.

The Temple of Baal (Bel) in New York

Replica of Temple of Baal was installed in Times Square in New York on March 22 2016.

The Temple of Baal (Bel) in London

Other the replica of Temple of Baal was installed in Trafalgar Square in London on April 19 2016.

Act of defiance

Rising of Baal's arch is nothing more than symbolical act of defiance similar to what Israel did when Assyria stroked them due their apostasy from God. This time, a part of the world is in similar defiance against the God after Baal temple was destroyed in Palmyra by Syrian ISIL (Assyrian descendants). As you can see, the history just repeats itself except that right now it's global.

The bricks have fallen But we will rebuild with hewn stone.
-- Isaiah 9:10

This is how Israeli people proclaimed their defiance that time. It's quite interesting how this world is prophetic because these new arks are not from bricks but they are really hewn stone. Hewn by programmable robot. First half of 2016 and also during many previous years, a many things causing anger of the Lord were happening and certain groups of people knowing this were even intentionally boosting their rebelion by additional activities.

Thanks to God also many Christians were awakened during those times and the worst was avoided by the intercessors and the mercy of God and even additional time was given to us in 2017. Defiance on many level unfortunately continues and so I wish you all to never be deceived to bow down before Baal but rather seek Jesus our Lord.
