A quote from my book, The Lion's Roar
Knowing Your Enemy.
In the Old Testament, the evil deities tied to Baal worship, a representation of Satan, were notorious. These ancient s*x Gods still operate today under different names. In the book of Ruth we encounter Molech, the Canaanite god of child sacrifice and molestation...
Furthermore, child sacrifice is a profanity against God's holy name. The punishment from God was that the offenders would be cut off from his protection. The book of Leviticus states:
"I will also set My face against that man [opposing him, withdrawing My protection from him] and will cut him off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them], because he has given some of his children to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name" (Leviticus 20:3, AMP).
They would be outside of His covenant care. In other words, the offenders were doomed to destruction! It is no wonder that Ruth was drawn to Naomi and her God, the one true living God. An article I read called "Compelling Truth" confirms this sobering reality:
"Molech represents the most repulsive of acts in God's sight, the ritual sacrifice of children to a pagan God, which was condemned in the strongest way by the Lord, including punishment by death."
Therefore, the pagan God of Moab, who represented child sacrifice, molestation, and in**st, was and still is truly abhorrent to God. Child sacrifice to Molech was seen as an abomination, and those who practiced it were cut off from God's presence. For this reason the worship of Molech is strongly condemned by God."
From my book: "The Lion's Roar."
