Here are prime examples! Remember Vlad The Impaler? He was the prince of Romania who was raised as a Christian and later he became a tyrant and a murderer who had thousands of people killed and to this day in modern Romania, there is a graven image of him in public. In Egypt back in those times were leaders who made slaves of Hebrews and there are graven images today and even of Moses as well. God's 2nd Commandment is so simple to read but very difficult for people to understand that God made it clear not to make any likeness of anything!
Past or present these are all over the world!
Any likeness in the heaven above, the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth. Yet some people make them and depict them in public places and claim they are only a work of art or they are of God's family in Heaven. The truth is so simple that God so no likeness of anything! To be even more insulting people depict flags of their beliefs and take a stand while God's Ten Commandments are often barred in the land that God created and actually owns.
