God Bless You and God bless America!
Babylon, then and now.
They would sacrifice the babies to Moloch (Molech), the priests banging drums, using cymbals and blaring horns so the fathers would not hear the cries.
In modern day, it is called ABORTION.
But they use OUR children.
Down in the valley of Hinnom, the Valley of Tophet, just outside the city of Jerusalem, an evil idol of Molech was erected. This was the god worshipped by the Ammonites. It was a great metal god, with arms outstretched. Fires heated these arms until they were red hot, and children were placed upon them to be consumed as a sacrifice. Drums were played as this terrible worship was conducted to drown the screams of the dying children. It was the most vile and awful form of worship imaginable, and was totally condemned by GOD.
Moloch… was made of brass; and they heated him from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be moved. Jeremiah 7:31.
God had warned the nation of Israel long before not to make a metal god [Leviticus 19:4], and threatened to destroy them if they caused their children to pass through the fire unto Molech.
