Molech:

The Abomination of Child Sacrifice

Many modern souls today would condemn the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Phillistines, Israelites and hundreds of other religious groups that practiced Child Sacrifice. Right?
But what will happen on the day of Judgement when many pagan and barbaric nations rise up in Judgement against modern day western and Eastern Nations, that practice child sacrifice far more abundantly and wickedly that those ancient cultures? Read to the end to find out why those wicked ancient cultures will condemn Modern America.
Now, take a moment and step back: Think about why God said to Noah: 

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart
was only evil continually.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth,
and it grieved him at his heart.
And the LORD said, I will destroy man
whom I have created from the face of the earth;
Genesis 6:5-7 (KJV)
Imagine, What would you do? If all your friends and neighbors were encouraging you to sacrifice your children in the fire, as an act of worship to the demonic god that they wanted you to worship. What would you say or do? What if they pressured you more and more, decade after decade, century after century? (Godly men lived to almost 10 centuries back then.)

What if the infection of that demonic religion had infected the majority or almost the whole of the people on the earth? What would you do, if you were God? What if you knew demonic angels were trying to breed a specially wicked and corrupt species call the Nephelim, corrupting man’s DNA Line? What would you do if you were in God’s Shoes, and you knew exactly what He Knew?

It is important before you take it into your own hands to pronounce judgment on another, or especially upon the God who created you, to know all the facts before you pass a spurious, and airhead like verdict.
God is about to pull back the curtains and show us wake was and is in His Mind about the Abomination of Molech.
