1 | What happened to these cities? | Matt 11:21 | janet | 31037 | ||
Tim, Thanks for your input. You gave me some really good information that I had not found before. I'm trying to find out why these cities became deserted and ruined. Jesus told them, He warned them, denounced them, upbraided them. Obviously, they did not listen to Him. I realize sin was the ultimate reason for their demise. However, I guess I was looking for something more specific; you know, were they overthrown; was there disease; did the cities just start to decay so the people left; maybe unemployment; was it an act of nature, earthquake, flood, bugs (euk), etc. That is the kind of information I would like to find. I'm just curious. If I'm to know, God will show me. If you happen to come across something, keep me in mind. It's kind of funny, this morning, during my devotions, I came across: "I said I would scatter them and blot out their memory from mankind." (Deut 32:26, NIV) Possibly, this is what has happened. Jesus warned them, they refused to listen, and what Jesus warned them about happened. They were rebellious, thought themselves high and mighty...better then God; and now...because of their offenses and hard hearteness they have ceased to be and are not even remembered. Ahhhhh, possibly that is the lesson. But, gee, I really would like to know how. Maybe it is because I was a youth leader for so many years and I always was confronted with "Well, why???", so when I did lessons I tried to cover all the basis. Some answers come with time. Thanks again for your input! I love this forum!! God bless you! Janet |

Greetings Janet! You might try a word search using the names of the city on a web search engine - like Yahoo or Google. There are a lot of Christian Archeology sites out there. They might have more info! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks Tim! I'm still learning the capabilities of the internet, I'm still a novice. Thanks for the suggestion...Also, if you are interested, Paul (aka "look4") gave me some really interesting internet suggestions in his response dated 01/19/02,5:28 pm I'm so delighted with everyone's help. I will be very busy. Thanks...Janet | ||||||
