39. Equivalent to, "I would rather have you open idolaters than hypocrites, fancying you can worship Me and yet at the same time serve idols" ( Amos 5:21 ; Amos 5:22 ; Amos 5:25 ; Amos 5:26 ; compare 1 Kings 18:21 ; 2 Kings 17:41 ; Matthew 6:24 ; Revelation 3:15 ; Revelation 3:16 ). Go ye, serve —This is not a command to serve idols, but a judicial declaration of God's giving up of the half-idol, half-Jehovah worshippers to utter idolatry, if they will not serve Jehovah alone ( Psalms 81:12 ; Revelation 22:11 ). hereafter also —God anticipates the same apostasy afterwards, as now. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-40" class="com-number"
