Let's look at the second of the Ten Commandments and see if we can find anything else about this JEHOVAH, and why it would be important to obey the Ten Commandments:
There are many 'gods' which are represented by idols in the world. Those 'gods' do not seem to mind, and in fact, seem to encourage such practices to such an extent that idols are found in 'religious places' like 'temples', and even in common places like cars, bathrooms, kitchens, workplace, video games, hollywood movies, and even in archtecture and even just on the street. There have even been those of mankind proclaiming to be a 'god' and have made idols of themselves, and even today, in this era there is American-Idol, and Pop-Idols, and Rock-Idols, and Rap-Idols, and Sports-Idols, and on and on it goes. For instance:
Yet this JEHOVAH says not to do after those other 'gods' practices.
It would seem JEHOVAH has a likeness and image which cannot truly be copied by art or craft of mankind and is not to be likened unto that which is created, and anything that tried to do so would thus be a false representation, and even lowering the concept of who JEHOVAH is. This would seem to indicate JEHOVAH is above the created.
Jesus quotes Exodus 20:6 in John 14:15 KJB.
Exodus 20:4 KJB - 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:
Exodus 20:5 KJB - 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 20:6 KJB - And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
JEHOVAH says that we shouldn't make graven images of anything in heaven, earth or water, nor bow down to them nor serve them. But why?Exodus 20:5 KJB - 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 20:6 KJB - And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
