1 Samuel 5

2 witnesses of Christ here.

Jehovah

And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. 1 Samuel 5:3–4

Even in enemy territory the idol falls on its face before the ark of Jehovah, and the next morning its head and hands are broken off. The premortal Christ has no rival; false gods cannot stand in His presence.
