Dave, you are wrong about this. In Ezekiel there are a number of passages where Ezekiel goes, in a vision, into the Temple, and sees what's going on behind "closed doors". There he observes all manner of inscriptions and drawings of bugs, beasts, animals and idols. Not only were there inscriptions to other gods in Jerusalem- they were in the temple itself. See Ezekiel 8, for instance.

Best,

Jim

Um, no. There's one inscription, rather vague, and it was definitely not in Jerusalem.
