61 Then the Word of God came to me: 2 "Son of man, now turn and face the mountains of Israel and preach against them: 3 'O Mountains of Israel, listen to the Message of God, the Master. God, the Master, speaks to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I'm about to destroy your sacred god and goddess shrines. 4 I'll level your altars, bust up your sun-god pillars, and kill your people as they bow down to your no-god idols. 5 I'll stack the dead bodies of Israelites in front of your idols and then scatter your bones around your shrines. 6 Every place where you've lived, the towns will be torn down and the pagan shrines demolished - altars busted up, idols smashed, all your custom-made sun-god pillars in ruins. 7 Corpses everywhere you look! Then you'll know that I am God.

Commentary on Ezekiel 6:1-7
(Read Ezekiel 6:1-7)
War desolates persons, places, and things esteemed most sacred. God ruins idolatries even by the hands of idolaters. It is just with God to make that a desolation, which we make an idol. The superstitions to which many trust for safety, often cause their ruin. And the day is at hand, when idols and idolatry will be as thoroughly destroyed from the professedly Christian church as they were from among the Jews.
