The statue was struck by lightning during a violent thunderstorm on February 10, 2008, and suffered some damage to the fingers, head and eyebrows. A restoration effort was put in place by the Rio de Janeiro state government to replace some of the outer soapstone layers and repair the lightning rods installed on the statue. It was damaged by lightning again, on January 17, 2014, where a finger on the right hand was dislodged.[10][1

On June 15, 2010, the statue was struck by lightning and consumed in the resulting blaze.[6] The statue had been sculpted using a thin skin of fiberglass over a flammable styrofoam interior stabilized by a metal frame,[2] and the fire consumed all but the internal metal structure. Following the fire, the pastor of the church stated that the church planned to rebuild the statue with fireproof material.[7][8] In the days after the destruction, the church’s digital sign displayed the message “He’ll be back”.[9]
Although the statue cost about $250,000 to construct, it was insured for $500,000 because the artist, Brad Coriell, had donated his time to the creation.[3] Damage to the statue and amphitheater was estimated at $700,000 – $300,000 for the statue and $400,000 for the amphitheater.[9][10] PETA offered funding through an “anonymous Christian donor” to help rebuild the statue if allowed to promote veganism at the church.[11]
Construction of a 52-foot replacement statue with a substantially different design began in June 2012. The new statue, called Lux Mundi, was assembled on the site on September 19, 2012 and dedicated on September 30, 2012.[12][13]

This is beautiful! The word “blessing” means to kneel and give a gift! When ELOHIM [Hebrew word for GOD] blesses us, HE is “kneeling and giving us a gift”! When we bless ELOHIM [FATHER/SON/HOLY SPIRIT] we are “kneeling and giving HIM a gift”! When we get down on our knees and kneel to ELOHIM we are giving HIM a gift! Continue reading
From the links below, it looks like matzevot are used as monuments and an obelisk is one form it can take. Considering the numerous verses where ELOHIM is clear that anything pagan separates HIM from HIS people and HE commanded to be the only ONE worshiped by them, it is sad that many today [Christians and Jews] do not realize what they are embracing since the obelisk was specifically for a pagan deity, the sun god.

[The paragraph below is from the link above]
Ontake is a major sacred mountain, and following older shamanistic practices, actors and artists have gone to the mountain to put themselves into trances in order to get divine inspiration for their creative activities.[4] Bernbaum, Edwin (1997). Sacred Mountains of the World. Berkeley & Los Angeles: University of California Press.
The above explains why ELOHIM [Hebrew word for GOD and who I believe is FATHER/SON/SPIRIT] chose that volcano to erupt. The practices of the enemy have been taking place on it. In Scripture it is very clear ELOHIM hates high places where people worship HIS enemy! HE wants anything to do with worshiping of others destroyed! ESV Leviticus 26:30 “And I will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and cast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you.” Pleeease read the whole of Leviticus/Wayikra 26. It is about blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. It is very insightful!!! Continue reading

Below is YHWH’S [the LORD’S] Prayer from a translation of the Bible from the Aramaic Peshitta text. Aramaic is a sister language to the Hebrew and it is the language YAHSHUA [JESUS/JOSHUA/IMMANUEL] spoke while HE lived here on Earth in the Flesh. Reading this translation has been an interesting study because when comparing it to other translations of the Bible, patterns are revealed of hiding pagan ways, hiding demonic possession, and mocking ELOHIM which other translations, because of their word choices, hide.
