Islam forbids the representation of the human or animal image at all, and idea taken from the dot point of Judaism. The God of the Bible hates Idolatry in all forms. All who conclude that God wiped out the Ohio Floyd Memorial with lightning may well be right.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; (Exodus 20:4-5)
The command to not have images or pictures is not ambiguous as many sincere Orthodox Jews to this day rather prefer not to have photos of themselves or others about their houses. How often is the picture poster of some star of other on the wall of a kid's bedroom called their idol? How often is a photo on the wall or a bust of a so called hero or famous person an idol to that person? We know immediately what is means by 'putting someone on a pedestal'. We see how the worship of the human form leads to sexual perversion (Romans 1-2).
Recently there has been an exceeding great move to destroy with violence and remove the statutes of great ones on pedestals from Robert E. Lee in the US to Rhodes in Britain. But the very same people who wished to remove these idols, have made a greater and even less worthy idol; a violent criminal, delinquent wife and child abuser.
A mural of deceased fentanyl user and Black Lives Matter icon George Floyd was destroyed earlier today in Toledo, Ohio after it was inexplicably struck by lightning, collapsing the wall entirely and likely offering a devastating blow to the morale of the local Black Lives Matter movement.
Local media reports that the “north Toledo mural has been reduced to rubble” after reportedly being struck by lightning. Fire and rescue responded to the previous site of the mural, but were unable to render aid to the collapsed wall featuring Floyd’s face. “A witness who saw the wall fold told TFRD they had seen a lightning bolt strike the building,” local media reported. “The department later confirmed the strike to be the cause of the collapse.” nationalfile.com
The lightning made a dead hit on the middle of a brick building, directly on the centre of the image of the face – the side sections were left. The mural is now taped off as if itself was a crime scene.
Donald Trump Jr. “It’s almost like a higher power is telling us something. When was the last time you heard of a brick building being destroyed by lightning? I am a builder and I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of it.”
The roof of brick building might be hit yes, but a wall? It is indeed odd, but it seems there were witnesses and “WTVG said its Doppler Radar showed a lightning strike in that block at around 4:30 p.m Tuesday” westernjournal.com
God deniers may say humans control the climate with their natural exhaust of Carbon Dioxide to atmosphere, which is absurd even when taking into account what is known of that proportion in the huge Carbon exchanges, but as yet none have been able to explain the cause of lightning. They can explain its mechanics, but not its cause. It is still a 'mystery'.
Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. (Psalm 144:5-6)
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; (Job 38:22-26)
