Christians Group to Protest Statue They Say Contradicts Bible. “You Call This Idolatry? Look Inside Your Churches First”
The statue being erected on All Saints Road is said to depict the statue seen in King Nebuchadnezzar’s prophetic dream, recorded in Daniel Chapter 2. This statue was not built for worship it carried deep prophetic significance:
The Head of Gold — represented the Babylonian Empire.
The Chest and Arms of Silver — symbolized the Medo-Persian Empire.
The Belly and Thighs of Bronze — represented the Greek Empire.
The Legs of Iron — signified the Roman Empire.
The Feet of Iron and Clay — pointed to the divided kingdoms of the latter days.
The Stone Cut Without Hands — represented Christ, who will strike the statue and establish an everlasting kingdom that is not built by human hands.
The intention of the statue in the biblical narrative was not for veneration or worship, but to serve as a prophetic symbol of world empires and the coming Kingdom of the Most High through Christ.
Yet, what we are seeing now is a selective outrage. Many in the Christian community are quick to call out this statue as “idolatry,” but remain silent about the very idols sitting inside their own churches crucifixes, Angels, devils, statues of Mary which has its origin in the goddess easter/ oestrous aka queen of heaven , crosses, and carved figures of saints that people kneel before, pray to, or venerate.
This is clear hypocrisy. Exodus 20:4–5 says plainly:
> “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath… Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.”
If we are to be truly consistent with Scripture, then the same energy used to protest this statue must be applied within the walls of every church. The crosses, statues, and images that contradict the commandment must also come down.
Idolatry is not only out there; it is also within.
I call on the nation to stand boldly and call out idolatry wherever it exists not selectively, but completely so that the Most High may be worshipped in spirit and in truth, as Christ declared in John 4:24:
> “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
Let us be consistent, not hypocritical.

I have committed adultery. I have sinned and continue to sin. Who can help me. These women continue to come after me.
Y’all are a bunch a dunce brainwashed converted hypocrites… Led by a corrupt book that was written and pushed down your throats by the same people who made u slaves and continue to opresse you….. Smdh
There are any calling out against the statue.
In their hypocritical mind it is idolatry.
They fail to recognize that worshipping a man is also idolatry.
How many of the same people out there speaking bow to political leaders and fa to call out their corruption?
Isn’t that idolatry.
To see evil and to turn a blind eye is being evil to.
There is no big sin and small sin.
When you see wrong whether it be a statue or a the actions of our public figure speak out against it.
Selective condemnation of wrong doesn’t make that which was not pointed out right.
Look in your churches, look in your houses, look in your offices, look in your parliament and take down the idols.
After you have dine that then and only then are tou qualified to call the statue an idol.
Further, tbe statue was never meant to be bowed to.
If that is the case how does it become an idol?
Idols are images/symbols/persons meant to be worshipped.
At no time did the owner place his statue there wirh expectation that he nor anyone else would bow to it.
The truth is they are correct idols are in the walls on the churches especially the picture of the man the call Jesus
