Bible Question: What is the significance of the make up of the Syrian Antioch Church |
Bible Answer: My mistake CDBJ, clicked on the wrong clicker. To my friend DEagle There are 21 different verses with this city, Antioch mentioned. I would have to refer you to the Internet for any more information about its "make up." Personally, I think the most significant thing about this city is the origin of the name, Christian in fulfillment of Prophecy. Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. in fulfillment of Is 62:1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns. 2 The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the Lord will name. Pretty Awesom, huh? And this is just one of over 300 prophecies proving that God's Word really is Inspired and Completely Inerrant. Go with God in all His Ways, Bill |
