1 | What does this mean? | Ezek 8:17 | Mommapbs | 89551 | ||
Greetings Tim! I have just returned from a tour of the 7 Churches of Revelation in Turkey. At the same time, I was reading again in Ezekiel about this verse. During our visit, my impression was this: the result of idolatry is RUIN! That is all that is left of these great civilizations or peoples - absolute destruction. What can I glean from this in my life? I can expect the same result if I persist in worshipping "idols" too! How deceptive and subtle our adversary is, for daily we all erect "idols" in God's rightful place! Needless to say, this was a fabulous adventure, both phsyically and spiritually. BTW, the only two cities that continue today are the two in Revelation that received NO condemnation: Smyrna (present day Izmir) and Philadelphia. The ruins of these ancient cities were within the city proper! All the other 5 "churches" receiving condemnation were desolate. Blessings, mommapbs |

I hope to post more in the near future about what the Lord showed me during this trip - it so illuminated the Epistles and the circumstances surrounding the growth of the early church - these challenges remain the same for us! Wish I could say I am going to be around for a while, but summer is the time we travel and I don't have computer access but for a few days now until August 11th, so if y'all don't hear from me for a season, this is why. At some point I would like to visit Israel too, but under the current world conditions, it doesn't seem very likely for the near future. Retracing the footsteps of Paul in Turkey and Greece was a wonderful experience that I hope you will have as well! mommapbs |
