“Movies are called molten images.”

 

The main reason this country has forgotten God is because of television and movies. Television and movie makers are experts at exalting and comforting the wicked. Most people love going to movies because it makes them feel good. Screen play writers are able to exalt pride, foolishness, and other wickedness, in a deceitful way. The movie goer is tricked into thinking wickedness is righteousness. The music, the lighting, the cast, and the brilliant script are very powerful in causing the masses to be filled with unrighteous judgment. God has told me to warn the people about these stumbling blocks in their lives. You won’t be able to find God until you give up the ungodly television and movie shows. Throughout the old testament movies and television shows are called: idols, molten images, graven images, and stumbling blocks.

Let’s start with Zechariah 10: 2 “For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain..” Now, the common problem with movies and television shows is the vanity. There are two types of vanity. The first type is getting the viewer to covet whatever the movie star is doing during the show. The audience is filled with inspiration to work hard and achieve the success of some star in the show. The second type is a sort of delusional view of a person’s life that the show gives the audience. Movies and television are able to take a rather insignificant accomplishment and turn it into something amazing. Furthermore, the screen play writing can take normal life and make it look amazing. Again, this craft makes the audience feel comfort in turning an event in their life into something more than it should be. They can excuse their sin because the movie shows them to be a good person when they are not. Besides vanity, the movies and television shows are a lie. Again, they take some normal life and make it look amazing when it is not.

A verse in Proverbs says that “Wisdom is before the eyes of him that has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.” Those that watch the molten and graven images are watching something with no value to their soul. Instead of fearing God and seeking his wisdom, they are comforted by their false idols. Isaiah describes it this way in Isaiah 41: 29 “...their works are nothing; their molten images are wind and confusion.” Please put away your idols for at least a month and seek God. Again, these graven images are very deceptive because it fills your mind and mouth with useful things in the ungodly world. Hollywood is good at training someone to be more successful in finding a romantic partner, making friends, or even excelling in your job. However, much of this success is harmful to your soul. God has a plan for your life, but you need to acknowledge his counsel in every area of life, and this includes entertainment.
