A Porcelain Throne

“And they…demolished the house of Baal, and made it a latrine to this day.” 2 Kings 10:27

Sin is gross. To help us understand what it’s really like, God has designed the destiny of the wicked to be disgusting. Hell is the gehenna, the burning sewage pile outside of the city.

I daresay you’ve heard of the notorious porcelain throne. Well, it was the only throne left for Baal when God was done with him. He turned his house from temple to toilet. Elijah had a similar thought: “he is relieving himself” (1 Kings 18:27). Could it be that Elijah did more than mock? Perhaps it was a poopy prophecy.

This is the destiny of fake gods and their worshippers. Wicked men boast of crowns in hell, but not even a porcelain seat will be found in that filthy place. Flee to Christ today to be washed and cleansed of things far worse than sewage.
