The American Tophet, Valley of Hinnom – “The Breath of the Lord like brimstone kindles it but amidst the judgment thereof, there is a place where the Lord causes me walk in, a place of provision and nourishment in him.” American Tophet -We have seen horrific pushing of the killing of babies directly out of the birth canal in the third trimester. It is worse today. We now market the flesh and parts of these murdered children. It is akin to Tophet and the blood guilt therein. The Love of killing the unborn child while declaring it is not a live human being is the Valley of Hinnom and an American Tophet. Read this article and get the e-book to understand this. Those who are prideful will hate and fight this word but know this before you read further. The Judgment of the blood, found from Genesis to Revelation had our Lord Jesus Christ addressing this. The judgment of the Blood, blood guilt is also a teaching I have taught on for many, many years. This judgment comes.

American Tophet Valley of Hinnom
When Habakkuk speaks of judgment in verse sixteen, it is that which he heard and understood to be. When the Lord judges a nation, any nation, there is nothing like it at all. He says of this upon hearing of this judgment, “my belly trembled, my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself.” Now to be sure, he heard the Word of the Lord here. Upon being in the presence of the Lord, he could not stand up, for rottenness entered his bones. This is another way of saying; I could not stand straight. He trembled from the presence of the Lord, for he is flesh, his belly trembled as well, and his lips quivered at the hearing of the voice. Mere flesh in the presence of the Lord God, who spoke to him. Habakkuk further says, “that I might rest in the day of trouble.” This is the prophet speaking of the coming judgment to his land and the faith and hope that when that occurred, he would rest, not worry, and the Lord would take care of him. Habakkuk did not forsake the Lord, but in the coming judgment, he would look to the Lord.
When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | Habakkuk 3:16-19
He continues with the coming judgment and what would occur. First the Lord would invade with his troops, as he told Habakkuk he would do in chapter one. The result of this also would be the Fig trees would not blossom, nor fruit on the vines, and the labor of the olive would fail. In this we see, no olive oil, no wine [fruit] and no food [figs]. When war occurs and invasions as this occur by those who invade massive destruction happens. The fields would be empty as those who worked them would be fighting, dead, or carried away captive. The flocks would be removed by the conquering hordes and any left in the stalls would also be taken. In short, after such a nightmare, there would be nothing left! This thought, would have been on the mind of this Prophet, knowing from other instances that this is the case. Yet, despite any worries, and or fleshly concerns, this Prophet made this statement, that even though, all is removed, “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation”. He went on to say that he had a secret, which was the LORD. It would be the LORD who would “will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.”
In the Prophets Day there were two ‘high places’. One that the Lord walks upon and directs those who seek him to walk there with him. The other are the High places that follow other Gods and their ways. The same High places that Israel worshipped upon and forsook the Lord their God.
I want to point out here that in the section above where Habakkuk says “he will make me to walk upon mine high places” is a special word. One you may have heard of before. It is “High places” and the Hebrew word for “high place” is ‘bamah’, strong’s 1116. It has several different meanings; the “back of an animal or of a man”, the “incline or back of a mountain” or the “block of a stone or grave of a saint.”
This word is interesting because the word “bamah” is tied to a description many use of Satan and as a matter of record, it has also been used to related to Barack Obama.
“I will ascend above the heights [bamah] of the clouds; I will be like the most High”
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | (Isa. 14:14)
However, for our purposes, “bamah” in Hebraic expression, meaning God’s protection of his people. It is expressed in the exalted nature of Israel, whose God is the Lord. When we read “he made him to ride on the high places of the earth”, or read Habakkuk saying, “He will make me to walk upon mine high places”, it directly reflects that the Lord God, during judgment, trouble, and chaos will lift him above and provide for him. It is here that the Prophet plainly states that although trouble was coming to his fellow countrymen, it would not destroy him. His lot was not their lot, because he walked in the ways of his God and knew this God was one who kept his covenant.
“He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock”
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | (Deut. 32:13; cf. Isa. 58:14).
When we speak of High Places before the temple was built, there were High places where Israel was able to build an altar and sacrifice to their God. We find that during the Book of Judges, Israel adopted the pagan custom of offering sacrifices at high places [elevated hilltops]. The pagan nations who did this believed the closer to heaven they were, the better chances their gods would hear them. The trouble was many of the places Israel took to do this were former baal sites where pagan worship occurred. Therefore, this practice became forbidden. But at certain times the Lord gave his approval to Israel to worship him at these high places.
And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place: As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him. And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | 1 Samuel 9:12-14
Let us make note that Solomon worshiped the Lord at the great bamah ‘high place’ of Gideon (1 Kings 3:4). This was permissible until the temple was built and finished. There is no doubt as well that Israel soon forsook the Lord God and used the very pagan high places to worship their gods. All manner of evil was practiced upon these mounds, and they soon became a snare to Israel and brought Judgment upon both Israel and Judah. Even Solomon in his later years forsook the Lord and sacrificed upon the high places to other gods.
We find ‘bamah’, “high places” in the cities of Samaria (2 Kings 23:19), in Judah (2 Chronicles 21:11), and in Jerusalem (2 Kings 23:13). Amos is just one place that records the sins and trouble this brought.
Thus, saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name: And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | Amos 2:6-8
And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place. And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | Jeremiah 7:31-34
One of the most infamous “high places” was known as Tophet. Topeth, Strong’s 8612 means “place of fire”. It is located on the southeast end of the valley of the son of Hinnom south of Jerusalem. Here the ‘place of fire’ was in the valley of Hinnom, known as “lamentation”.
Sacrificing to other gods, Israel left the God of their forefathers. They served gods that even their forefathers never knew. Sounds like America today. In this they made their sons and daughters pass through fire. We make special note here that Tophet is related in text and warning to the valley of Hinnom, but the Judgment of the Lord will bring it to be called, the valley of Slaughter, for they will bury till there is not one place left to do so. It would become a cemetery. Jeremiah further specifies that Israel “have forsaken me” and “have estranged this place”. That is through their seeking of other gods and leaving the God of their fathers, they separated both themselves and the land from their God and his blessing. Jeremiah also makes firm note that in this land and among this people was sin so horrible that they “filled this place with the blood of innocents.” There is much we could say on this topic and in relation to Israel, but suffice it to say, that this God found in Israel a people who had forsaken him, the God of Life. Their forefathers had known him, but now generations of Israelites were doing sins that even the nations around them did not do. They had become separated from their God and would not listen anymore.
And say, hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents.
They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | Jeremiah 19:3-5
Jeremiah pointedly tells them that “evil” which had been pronounced against them would occur. It would happen “because they have hardened their necks that they might not hear my words”. This judgment would come upon all in Judah, Jerusalem, and they would become as defiled as Tophet. The sins of the people were so bad that they even worshipped their foreign gods from their houses. All the land and the people had become defiled with rebellion, sin, iniquity, and blood guiltiness.
Thus, will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet: And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods. Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD’S house; and said to all the people, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | Jeremiah 19:12-15
Thus, the judgment was set, and the type was Tophet. For Judah and Jerusalem, itself would become as Tophet, a place of wood, hay, and stubble. In it the Lord would send horrific judgment. A judgment that would be “deep and large, a pile thereof is fire and much wood”, this very fuel of wickedness would be kindled, and the fire thereof would be like “a stream of brimstone”. In fact, the “breath of the LORD” would kindle it. The judgment would seethe and burn all the contents thereof to remove iniquity and the sin upon the land.
For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | Isaiah 30:33
My friends the Lord is coming forth out of his place. It is he, the Lord who treads upon the high places of the earth, the Lord, the God of hosts is his name. He will tread down the high places of the nations, bringing their sin and iniquity to nothing. All the high places of idolatry, paganism, harlotry, greed, foreign gods, and all forms of rebellion will be trampled asunder.
Just as Jerusalem and Judah in the time of Jeremiah became as Tophet, and had become filled with wood, hay, and stubble, all in rebellion against the Lord God, so too, we find America and the nations. I speak warning to these nations who will be a sacrifice, a funeral pyre, and it will be ignited by the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone upon it, so it will be burned.
The Lord will destroy the high places of America. Judgment will begin with the church and then will engulf the whole of this land. America has been stiff necked, as has the church. Many people refuse to believe and hear these warnings. Yet it shall come. With it shall burn the “high places” of greed, wealth, usury, produce, food, provision, precious things, and all treasures that are contained in this modern Babylon. Make no mistake it shall come to this nation, and you will see it. Yet, the nations are not to be left out, for it shall encompass the nations and shall come to them as the Lord moves to shake all things.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | Isaiah 2:19; 33:14 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.
Those who are not prepared for the Lord, which are the ‘sinners in Zion’, ‘do not know God’, and ‘do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ’, shall see this and fear. There are many today that do not fully understand this judgment and trouble coming. This is not the Great White Throne judgment nor the Judgment seat of Christ. It is a time of trouble where those who do not obey, who are in rebellion against the Lord, and have set up their own “high places” will find the Lord burning them down. He will work to bring mercy and deliverance to those amidst the judgment. Yet there will be many who will refuse to listen. But let me tell you that there will be those who do know the Lord and do obey him. They have “overcome by the blood of the Lamb”, give their “word of testimony”, and “love their lives not unto death”, these keep the “commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ”. These are those who Jesus said, “keep my sayings” and have “built their house upon the rock.”
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
American Tophet Valley of Hinnom | Isaiah 33:14-16

wood – hay- stubble or gold – silver – precious stones! 1st Cor 3:13-15 - You’re the temple of God, don’t defile it! 1st Cor 3:16-17
- We are not to be patterned after the wisdom of this world but after Christ! 1st Cor 3:18-21

- 8. The Children of disobedience do these things and the wrath of God comes on them, but you have put on the new man and have put off the old man with the deeds of the flesh! Col 3:6-7

In closing let me say that although the sinners are fearful, Isaiah asks a question saying this: “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire [everlasting burnings]? He is referring to the judgment of Lord upon those in Zion, who thought they were fine. These in rebellion believed they were pleasing their God, even though, they did as they pleased. Who shall dwell when the “devouring fire of judgment” hits a nation? Who will be left standing after God judges the people that are stiff necked and will not hear? Those who will be left, will be those who do these things, which in Isaiah’s day was important and related to what God expected of his people.
