GODS WHOSE DWELLING IS NOT WITH FLESH.
Question:What did the astrologers mean when they said,”Gods whose dwelling is not with flesh”?
Daniel 2:11And it is a rare thing that the king requireth,and there is none other than can shew it before the king, except the gods ,whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
ANSWER:
This was after King Nebuchadnezzar gave out a test to all magicians,enchanters and astrologers in his kingdom to tell the dream he had had and then interpret it to him.But their God’s could not reveal to them the dream and its meaning.The witches therefore plainly admitted that not every being in the name of a god can reveal and unravel this puzzle except for “gods whose dwelling is not among men.”
Remember,these people had so many gods which they believed in.This is why they used the word ‘gods’ who does not dwell among men.But actually they implied Jehovah God ,who alone does not live with men.
The words “who does not dwell among men” meant the One who does not live with men.That is,a God whose dwelling-place is not on earth,but in heaven.
The pagan gods including the genies, demons,idols,etc, have their dwelling-place here on earth.They live among men and rely on them to establish their works.They roam through the earth, going to and fro in it:doing nothing more than investigation and gathering of various information as does their father, Satan (Job 1:7).
These gods cannot tell what is to come, neither can they know what secrets are in the hearts of men.Sometimes,they may even ask of things like hair or footprints of a person they would like to find out about.How weak the gods are that they cannot understand not do they exist in every place, i.e., not everywhere.It’s for this reason that the the witches asked to be told first of the dream so they could at least figure out its meaning.
Jehovah God does not depend on man or any other creature to know or do whatever thing he wants.He is our only sure hope.Neither Satan nor the fallen angels(demons) can tell a man’s fate.When you seek help from magicians, enchanters or even astrologers,beware you are deceived and you invite troubles upon yourself.Consequently, performing rituals and awakening the spirits of the dead is wrong.By doing this,you open the door through which you will be thrown into hell of fire.
Psalm 115:3-9;
“But our God is in the heavens:he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
They have mouths,but they speak not:eyes have they,but they see not:
They have ears,but they hear not:noses have they, but they smell not:
They have hands,but they handle not:feet have they ,but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
They that make them are like unto them;so is every one that trusteth in them.
O Israel,trust thou in the Lord:he is their help and their shield.”
Amen.
