statue was being referred to and it may have been many, I mean it was only one, it couldn't have been many, but there's many ways that you can come to understand what that image of jealousy may have been, but it doesn't really matter, the Lord has left that obscure for us, he's trying to say something that is not so much identifying the literal statue that was in that great gate as what was transpiring as these abominations increased. Now we'll look at the other three, but I want you to note that there's four abominations that Ezekiel is shown here, and four in Bible prophecy means worldwide, and I'll read you one quote, but you can see this in your concordance if you look up for you over and over again you'll find that four symbolizes worldwide.
