E190 The Molten Beast

Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast

Baal was the god of prosperity. He was the source behind increase, profit and gain. His goal was to cause the people to worship material prosperity, to pursue wealth, to serve money, instead of worshipping God. Baal’s preeminent symbol was the bull. The bull embodied his power and his connection to fertility. The appearance of the bull in ancient Israel was a sign of the nation’s apostasy from God. As America has rejected God in favor of materialism, it should come as no surprise that the bull would make a reappearance.
