You added more this verse beyond the Scriptures I have quoted in my post, in whose verse the Apostle Paul warned the believers of Galatians saying unto them that when they knew not God they did service unto them which by nature were not gods.
So, the point in this verse is about God and gods. God is only One. What is written in the Word of God? Isaiah 44:8 - Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
And gods, how many are there? Who are them? What says the Word of God? There is much to speak about gods, especially about the demons commanded by Satan. 1Cor.8:v.5: For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,): Note that the wise Apostle Paul was not talking about idols made by men's hands, because, as he said: an idol is nothing in the world (v.4) Then, who are these gods? I repeat.
There are two kinds of gods:
1 - Satan has his gods, which work for him sowing tares through religions, and sects, and churches of all denominations, and false evangelical movements called gospel,etc.,in the whole world. They are Popes, and Priests, Cardinals, Pastors, Bishops, Theologians, and all false preachers of the Word of God like the false prophets of the Old Testament, whose demons did speak falsely with the people of Israel in the name of the Lord, but they were devils guiding Israel, for they did kill the true prophets of God, and they, except a few of them, believed only in the false prophets. AN IMPORTANT DETAIL is that these false preachers of Scriptures have not any difference of the idols made of the dust of the earth, made by the hands of men, except the language or the speech of them, yes, ANY DIFFERENCE except the spirit in their bodies, FOR THEY WERE ALSO MADE BY THE DUST OF THE EARTH, whose breath is in their nostrils, so wherein is they to be accounted of ?
Remember that the Most High and Almighty God said: Exodus 20:v.3 - Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Now, now, our Almighty God was not speaking of the idols made by men's hands, but about evil men that corrupt the Word of God, like those who asked Aaron to make gods for going before them. And Aaron made a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, (why these, if was made only one calf of golden? which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. (What these satanic gods said by the spirit of Devil to the people of Israel was a lie, a lie of Devil)
(v,5) And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord. (No, the feast was not to the Lord, in absolute, but to Satan). Read Deuteronomy 32:17-21
(1Cor.8:v.6) But to us (to TRUE BELIEVERS) there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord JESUS Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.
2 - God is God of gods (the Word is not speaking of idols). What is written in the Word of God? Psalms 136:v.2 - O give thanks unto the God of gods: for His mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 135:v.5: For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. (Now, now, God is God of gods, and not God of idols made by men's hands,such interpretation is a nonsense). Who are these gods? JESUS said to the Jews: (John 10:v.34-36)– 34 Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If He called them gods, unto whom the Word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Therefore, we can understand by gthe Word of God, yes, BY THE WORD OF GOD, that the true gods, as said JESUS, are them unto whom the Word came, and the Scriptures cannot be broken.
Who wants to analyse more deeply this matter, search Isaiah 41:23&Psalms 82:6&Psa.97:7-9.
Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only Wise God, be Honour and Glory for ever and ever. Amen.
REVELATION 19 [7] Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. [8] And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of SAINTS.
Marriage of the Lamb to the Saints
DANIEL 7 [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
The kingdom given to the Saints
1 CORINTHIANS 1 [2] Unto the CHURCH OF GOD WHICH IS AT CORINTH, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, CALLED TO BE SAINTS, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
Church of the Corinthians that are called to be Saints
ROMANS 1 [7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, CALLED TO BE SAINTS: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Church of the Romans that are called to be Saints
EPHESIANS 1 [1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, TO THE SAINTS WHICH ARE AT EPHESUS, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
And again, the Ephesians are the Saints of God
COLOSSIANS 1 [1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, [2] TO THE SAINTS and faithful brethren in Christ WHICH ARE AT COLOSSE: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The church of Colossians are the Saints
REVELATION 13 [3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. [4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, WHO IS LIKE UNTO THE BEAST? WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR WITH HIM? [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. [6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. [7] And IT WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM TO MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Looky looky! Here we find the beast making war against Gods Saints. If you believe the above scriptures that say the Saints belong to the various churhes you gotta know they have not been raptured as the Rapturist claim. They claim the church will not confront the beast at all. Dilly Dilly!
Well said. Then, after the marriage in heaven of the Bride/Church to the Lamb/Jesus, in Rev.19:708, Jesus returns to the earth WITH HIS CHURCH, riding white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, in His armies from heaven, in verse 14, confirming Zech.14:4-5.

Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zec 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zec 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Zec 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
Zec 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
Zec 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. (See Revelation 11:15 to find out when this occurs.)
Which Jerusalem?
Rev_21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev_22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev_22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

YIKES! Please let scripture interpret scripture
GAL.4 [8] Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.[9] But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? [10] YE OBSERVE DAYS, AND MONTHS, AND TIMES, AND YEARS.[11] I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Galatians 4 says nothing about sabbaths or feast days. Its speaking of those who observe times.
DEUT.18 [9] When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.[10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, OR AN OBSERVER OF TIMES, or an enchanter, or a witch,[11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
The same thing goes on to this very day. Its speaking of the occult. Those who observe certain days by use of horoscopes?
2 CHR.33 [3] For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.[4] Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.[5] And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.[6] And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: ALSO HE OBSERVED TIMES, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger
Enchantments, witchcraft, familiar spirits, and wizards. Its speaking of the occult. Not following sabbath days.
LEV.19 [26] Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, NOR OBSERVE TIMES.[27] Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.[28] Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.[29] Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a harlot; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.[30] YE SHALL KEEP MY SABBATHS, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
I guess this scripture says it all. You shall not observe times BUT you will keep my sabbaths.
Well said. Then, after the marriage in heaven of the Bride/Church to the Lamb/Jesus, in Rev.19:708, Jesus returns to the earth WITH HIS CHURCH, riding white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, in His armies from heaven, in verse 14, confirming Zech.14:4-5.
