sense, but in the rebellious sense.
     Many today that battle against Christ think they are above His reproach, as some wish to tear down anything dealing with Christ and the idea of a chosen People. This 'pride' likened to Moab is still with us.

What easily leads to this type of 'illusion' Moab was guilty of? Simply this; when we turn away from our True Father Jehovah and His Son Jesus Christ, to follow after the world or ourselves, the Kenite (son of Cain) will always be there to lead you astray in it. And you will not recognize it because of rebellion against God, the very sin of Lucifer which caused this flesh age. This is why understanding the 'key of David' and who the Kenites are, is paramount to keeping the Pure worship that God intends for us through His Son. Those unaware of the Kenite and the many examples of how they operate which God gives in His Word won't understand how their little Church was suddenly divided. Many of those who allow the deception, do love our Father through Jesus Christ, but have little Knowledge to remain standing in Him through His Son. They think The Holy Spirit will reveal all dangers without study of God's Word. Understanding about Satan's workers of iniquity is part of the foundational teaching of Christ. (see the 'parable of the tares of the field' in...

 

Matt.13; II: He answered and said unto them, “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.”

 

Thess.2; 7:  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

 

 ...concerning the 'mystery of iniquity').

Isa 16:7   Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

     This Kirhareseth is a city in Moab, and means 'fortress of earthenware' (Strong's no. 7025). Moab is leaving the hot pan and jumping into the fire with their false plan of protection. They can cry (howl) all day long and it won't help a bit.
     Moab had God's blessings at first. They had an abundance of wealth as shown by the many ancient artefacts and ruins left there. This is an example of how the love of wealth can cause ruin, becoming a desolation, and lead to false worship. One of the major gods the Moabites worshipped was Chemosh.

 

Jer.48: Read All.

 

Fausset's Bible Dictionary states the following of Chemosh:

CHEMOSH...
A black star, according to Jewish tradition, was his symbol, whether as identical with Mars or Saturn. Jerome states that Dibon was his chief seat of worship.

A black stone was the Arab symbol of him. The inscribed black stone set up at Dibon, lately discovered, is full of the Moabite king Mesha's praises of Chemosh as the giver of his martial successes against Israel. See MOAB and DIBON derived from kabash, to vanquish.

Idolatry originated in appropriating to separate deities the attributes combined in the one true God.

"Ashtar Chemosh," mentioned on the Moabite stone, connects the Moabite and the Phoenician worship. Ashtar is the masculine of Astarte, an androgynous god, combining the active and passive powers of nature. Chemosh required human sacrifices as god of war; Mesha, after taking Ataroth, offered all the warriors in sacrifice.
