1Sa 5:4 And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only the torso of Dagon was left of it.
The Israelites did not only lose the battle but the Philistines also captured the Ark of the Covenant. They transported the ark from Ebenezer to Ashdod and took it to the house of dagon and set it before dagon the god of the Philistines. Setting the ark by dagon was an illustration that dagon had defeated Yahweh in battle.
The next morning, dagon had fallen on it’s face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. They took dagon and set it into it’s place but the following day it had not only fallen on the ground before the ark of the Lord, but had the head and the palms of his hand had broken off.
No other god can withstand the presence of Yahweh. Our God is supreme and cannot be compared to any other. He is the great I am, king of kings and the Lord of Lords. Great is His name! All the efforts of the wicked to prevail over the believers will always fail. Every demon,sickness and ailments and every demonic schemes must bow before Yahweh.
