Idols Cannot Represent God
Isaiah 46:5
To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?


The Jews might have alleged that they served not the false gods of the Gentiles, but the God of Israel; and that they used images when they worshipped Him only that they might have before their eyes, like other nations, some beautiful object. This delusive notion is here reprobated; and they were taught that there is neither likeness nor equality betwixt the true God and these foolish pretended resemblances made of Him by the hands of men.

(R. Macculloch.)
