Molech is a name you may not recognize. He was a pagan god from the ancient world and he shows up in various places throughout the Old Testament. Molech was an oppressive god who demanded much from his subjects, particularly the sacrifice of children. You may be tempted to think that Molech is just a story from the ancient past. He’s long-lost to the pages of history, but I’m here to tell you that Molech is making a comeback in 21st century America.
