“He won’t allow images if false Gods to exist.”

You are seriously misquoting the Ten Commandments.

God tells us not to make graven images. He does NOT say He will stop us from making them. We follow the Commandment of our own free will.

Yes. All idols will be destroyed. There’s much to be learned from the Prophets, Joshua through Malachi.

The Commandments tell us not to make them, the rest of the Bible right through Revelation tells us what God will do to idols and those who make and worship them. You have misquoted me.

as for the commandments in question:1.Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2.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; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Verse 2 does list one thing God does to those who make graven images to “bow down and serve them”.

I have misquoted what again?
