Everyone this is EXTREMELY important in making the worship of Molech (Moloch) connection. The whole Valley of Hinnom would be set on fire, (this is where Molech worship was done) becoming this huge fire pit. Babies were put in the hands of the idol of Molech, and then fire would be put into the statues and the arms would heat up until the hands these babies were laying in were glowing orange with the heat.
As the hands heated up, the babies would begin to squirm as they were being burned and eventually would fall into the fire of the valley below. Because of the agonizing screams of these tiny victims, loud music was played to cover up those screams.
Psalms 106:37,38 - 37 They would sacrifice their sons
And their daughters to demons.
38 They kept spilling innocent blood,
The blood of their own sons and daughters
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Caʹnaan;
And the land was polluted with bloodshed.
17 They also made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, they practiced divination and looked for omens, and they kept devoting themselves to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, to offend him.
18 So Jehovah was very angry with Israel, so that he removed them from his sight. He did not let any remain but the tribe of Judah alone.*
Ez. 16:20,21
20 “‘You took your sons and your daughters whom you had borne to me, and you sacrificed these to idols to be devoured—have your acts of prostitution not gone far enough? 21 You slaughtered my sons, and you offered them as sacrifices by making them pass through the fire.
Ez 23:37-39
37 They have committed adultery, and there is blood on their hands. Not only have they committed adultery with their disgusting idols, but they have also made their sons whom they bore to me pass through the fire as food for their idols.+ 38 Moreover, this is what they have done to me: They defiled my sanctuary on that day, and they profaned my sabbaths. 39 After they slaughtered their sons as sacrifices to their disgusting idols,+ they came into my sanctuary to profane it+ on that very day. That is what they did inside my own house.*
1 John 5:19
We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.
First Moloch, horrid king, besmear’d with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents’ tears,
Though for the noise of Drums and Timbrels loud
Their children’s cries unheard, that pass’d through fire
To his grim idol. (Paradise Lost 1.392-96)
OmGGGGGGGG! Noooo! I don't want to hear this! It breaks my heart because it is very possible and just imagining this is really what he's doing to this little child is more than I can take. I'm off... Need a break.
Ancient Israel continued to backslide into this sin after repeated warnings, and were severely punished over and over again. They were warned when they entered their promised land not to mimic any of the depraved practices of the Canaanites (including sodomy etc.), and child sacrifice to Moloch was the most egregious, the straw that broke the camel's back resulting in their loss of everything, their temple and their direction and more. Child sacrifice was strictly condemned in that the only human sacrifice was to be the son of God, Christ the messiah. Satan knew, and knows, this, so he makes a mockery of it. Ok, start the down-voting :)

I can hardly imagine that that's not what is being said, "John Pdst...." I've said this before.

Yes, absolutely. I personally had not paid attention to this particular bit before, but now it's obvious.

I'm sorry. It is horrific. Unfortunately this connection is so clear it's probably true. These people know what they're doing.
