Deuteronomy 4:27 says, “And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.” God is telling his people they will serve other gods? I thought god hated his people to worship other gods. One instance in Exodus 23:24 says, “Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.” Another in Exodus 20:5 says, “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” Even in Deuteronomy 4:19 the Israelites are told not to worship the sun, moon, or heaven lest they corrupt themselves. He calls himself a jealous god many times, even as early as Deuteronomy 4:24 “For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.” I thought it was one of his commandments. If you don’t believe me, go back and read Exodus 32. God kills many Israelites because they worshipped something other than him.
