If we follow the Images and Idolatry that Israel engaged in in the Old Covenant, we will see that it is permeated in the New Covenant age, by some of His professing people to a seeming greater extent. Along with the advances in imagery, science, technology and modern-day inventions, it makes it apparent that the return of Jesus could not be far away. Man has placed himself upon the throne, and has begun modeling God in his image, denying the very God that redeemed them. It is the time of strong delusion where man believes the lie.
