“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:” (Exodus 20:4)

Obviously making images of God, for any reason, or purpose, or creature things such as cars, cats, dogs, food, or jewelry is a violation of this commandment. It is not the making of images that is wrong, it is the worshiping the images that is wrong.
This commandment goes much deeper than the things above, it extends to superstition. Like the medallion of a saint for safe travels, or a preacher in the pulpit. These are human failures. When a thing or person is lifted out above us, then they become a separation of God from us.
None of us have kept this commandment.
God put a penalty on this commandment.
“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;” (Exodus 20:5)
Stay Tuned…
