With US Increase in Idol Worship, Will We See Continued Breaches of Our Defenses?
Editor’s Note: This is part two of a two-part article. Find part one here.
At the end of part one, I asked a question. “If God warned Israel of its idol worship, is it possible that God also left the U.S. a message concerning this particular idol?”
Examine the evidence below, and draw your own conclusion.
The Obelisk Idol and the Walls of the United States

Biden Backs California Gov. Newsom as Recall Effort Heats Up
While the Senate busied itself Tuesday with the opening of former President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, the Biden administration took time to throw its support behind beleaguered California Gov. Gavin Newsom and against the growing effort to recall him.

Only one day after Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban confirmed to The Atlantic that his team had ceased playing the national anthem before home games and had no plans to play it going forward, the National Basketball Association released a response. It came in the form of a statement saying the league would require all teams to play the anthem “in keeping with its long-standing policy,” several news outlets report.

The Mavericks did not play the national anthem at its previous 13 preseason and regular games, but the team did not publicize the fact.
