Ezekiel 20:39

Equivalent to, "I would rather have you open idolaters than hypocrites, fancying you can worship Me and yet at the same time serve idols" (Amos 5:21-22, Amos 5:25-26; compare I Kings 18:21; II Kings 17:41; Matthew 6:24; Revelation 3:15-16).

Go ye, serve—This is not a command to serve idols, but a judicial declaration of God's giving up of the half-idol, half-Jehovah worshippers to utter idolatry, if they will not serve Jehovah alone (Psalms 81:12; Revelation 22:11).

hereafter also—God anticipates the same apostasy afterwards, as now.
