The 2nd Commandment: No False Images of God
We commonly think of the 2nd commandment as a prohibition of strange carvings of Dagon (the fish god), or Molech, or a human figurines with the head of a wolf. But the prohibition of false deities is already covered in the first commandment... "have no other gods besides me". If you obey that first command you wouldn't need this subsequent warning against idolatry. It would be redundant.
The second command must therefore also refer to the use of pictures, statues, and other false representations of the true Creator God.
The 2nd command says make no pictures or carvings as representations of Me.
Lifeless inanimate objects could never properly represent the living God. In this same spirit there should be no false theories or explanations of who and what God is.
The Creator will explain and reveal Himself to humanity as He sees fit. Let's take a good look into what He reveals!
