The following report is from News Channel 20:
A Satanic holiday display has made a reappearance under the Illinois State Capitol dome.
Members of the Satanic Temple of Illinois came to Springfield, Ill. Monday to install a Satanic display in the rotunda. The installation depicts the deity Baphomet as a baby. Satanic Temple members said that the display is meant to represent plurality, unity, compassion, and empathy, and described it as “a display of positive values.”
The Capitol welcomes a diverse range of religions every year to display holiday statues during the holiday season, so we wanted to join in on that.
Satanic Temple of Illinois Minister Adam said.
“Minister Adam” did not provide a surname.
Just feet away from the Satanic display, members of the Catholic group “American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property“ gathered to protest. Parishioners held banners reading, “Satan has no rights” and “Mary crushes the serpent.”
On Nov. 30, the Springfield Diocese installed a Nativity scene in the rotunda. During that installation, Bishop Thomas Paprocki said there was no place for Satanic displays in the Capitol, or anywhere.
The Satanic Temple of Illinois says they invited Paprocki to participate in the installation of their display, but he did not make an appearance.
The Baphomet statue is on loan from the Satanic Temple in Salem, Mass.
A sign from the State of Illinois sits in the rotunda in front of all holiday displays and says:
The State of Illinois is required by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution to allow temporary, public display in the state capitol so long as these displays are not paid for by taxpayer dollars. Because the first floor of the Capitol rotunda is a public place, state officials cannot legally censor the content of speech or displays. The United States Supreme Court has held that public officials may legally impose reasonable time, place and manner restrictions regarding displays and speech, but no regulation can be based on the content of the speech.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
Proverbs 28:4
[8] Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. [9] Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; [10] And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?Jeremiah 7:8-10
As I have been saying recently, the spirit of antichrist is at an all-time high, and will only get worse from here. Now, again, Jesus Christ must be kicked out of everything and replaced with a devil spawn.
It goes without saying, the Lord is going to continue ramp up the judgment he has pronounced against America, and will not be repenting from that declaration. And rightfully so.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Are there devils tied to objects? If so, do you know of any videos on the subject or something to read?
1 Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Psalm 106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
Psalm 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
Psalm 106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
@ JT – Could you please explain all those verses in depth (for dummies)?
What are the things or some things that the gentiles sacrifice to devils in reference to 1 Corinthians 10:20?
What are the works of the hands?
What are all these idols that are a snare?
Do you have a list of things (idols, I guess they are?) to smash and or burn, throw away, etc. whatever it is that the Lord had you get rid of? I’ve seen a vid of a couple of you guys smashing an Xbox (I think it was) and heard something about Bryan telling Katherine that slaves wear earrings and then she said to burn them. What are other things to get rid of?
Mark 12:30
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Psalm 10:4
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
2 Corinthians 10:5
5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Anything that takes up most of our thoughts, attention, time and energy from the Lord, in reading and obeying his word are idols and gods.
And it’s tough to put every thought into captivity to obedience, with all the distractions and flash of our world. But that is one of the things commanded of saved people.
I used to play guitar in a band and listen to heavy rock music and metal a lot. So sometimes a rock song I used to like starts playing in my head. Then I had to say scripture in my mind to block it out, very vexing. And I collected many electric guitars (which I got rid off) which took up a lot of my time, care and attention, so they were my idols and gods.
It’s tough, but it would be easier to do these things when we get away from the noise and bustle and hustle of the cities, from technology and to live almost bare-bones without owning a lot of things that distract us. So any object or activity we own and do that doesn’t really help us in strengthening our faith and knowledge of God can ultimately be our gods.
Jeremiah 7:8-10 applies to this Baal satanic idol AND it also applies to the church buildings. Which one? Choose, all the above, pick your poison.
This is straight up spitting in Jesus’ face and laughing at it (Proverbs 14:9 talks about that)
Meanwhile, the (ahem) “christian” church buildings are too busy getting ready for and rehearsing for the Christmas cantata taking place in a shopping mall. I facepalm so hard, I get a concussion!
Alright America, prepare for the worst! That’s all I can say.
Pro 22:5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
