Yeah, but then you likely are not impressed with Petra... and heaven forbid... be sure to not be impressed with the Indian (Native American) cliff dwellers either.
I been to petra , many many moons ago when the earth was young . Yes way back in nineteen ninety five
we flew over the desert in Helos on a half day trip to petra . I remember well walking through the narrow ways
that led into the city of rock . That was a long time ago . I often wondered what on earth
they are guarding over there . Cause they shut certain areas off to civilian and or even military visits .
As we were not allowed to go into certain areas . I wonder who carved that city out many years ago .

Some of them believe that the moutain that Moses ascended is over in that area .
But they never said it was a fact . We did climb up some of them
and nearer the top of one it looked like it had once been on fire , the rocks had even a blackish color to them .
Some folks theorize it will be where the jews are hidden . But i highly doubt it on that one .
Folks know where it is .

I was reading that they estimated it would take 100's of years with modern tech to build this, yet they did it in 18 years with hammers and chisels. And then I was reading that some researchers didn't really know just how it was they built this. I read that all of the stone that was removed is just gone.

Much love!

It is amazing how many elaborate structures were built by more primitive people.
Even the beautiful, old cathedrals in the UK and elsewhere took many, many years to build.

I watch Escape to the Country and they sometimes show people working to restore the British cathedrals. The weather causes the wear and tear on them... amazing they held up as long as they did.

It’s always intrigued me how these old historical buildings ect were made, like the pyramids ect.
We have modern equipment to help, but they had very little.
So it’s more about the skills they had rather than who they were worshipping.
Many of the basic things we take for granted developed over generations because of the skills of others. …….

Many folks think many things . But lambs will simply heed the LORD and stay dug in the bible .
Jerusalem is back again , and now is fast rising to center stage on the world .
BUT DO BEWARE for its very secular and very anti christ in nature and still is in bondage with her children .
But it sure did have to come back . I mean when we read revelation it speaks directly of where the two witnesses are killed .
that great city , where also our LORD was crucified.
JERUSALEM , JERUSALEM thou that stonest the prophets , how often would i have gathered thee as a mother hen her
chicks only YE WOULD NOT . The city that was crushed a deadly blow for its rejection of Christ JESUS is back again .
But again beware for its not JESUS CHRIST CENTERED , its leaders are as secular as are other countries
and the kabbla has become their go to god . We better watch out . Still though we must preach the gospel
to all . to the jews and to the gentiles , while there still be time to do so .
DO not buy the solution of THE RCC which cometh out of JERUSALEM for world peace and safety . The delusion
of the all inclusion to merge the religoins and world to be as one . IT COMETH OF ANTI CHRIST .

You know... you are certainly correct but is it not possible to look at and enjoy something that one can only wonder about?

Look at this one right here in FL... built by 1 man
If winds estimated to have gusted at up to 200 mph could not budge the 1,100 tons of Florida coral – in pieces ranging in size from 6 tons to 30 tons – how did a 5-foot, 100-pound man lift and position them? Decades after his feat, no one has yet come up with answers.

NOW we all know you have the answer... It was Satan.


Guess the guy was on one end and Satan on the other?

Other believe they know....

I dont care... I find it intriguing.

We should not have an interest in anything not biblical?.... Well tell me.... how is that chariot working out for you on the highways?

Cause one man didnt build that . Often folks like the idea of how great , how GREAT HUMANITY CAN BE
when in truth it had been better to put the FOCUS on HOW GREAT GOD IS , CHRIST IS .
And believe me when i say , one man had HELP building that . i mean think about it for just a second .
Just cause history or he himself might have said HE built it alone , dont mean we gotta buy that fib .
I dont marvel as i once did about the greatness of man and his accomplishments . GOD created man anyway
and though men can invent many things , there aint no hope in man nor his devices . BUT i will remind
us of who to HOPE IN , the GLORIOUS LORD . Men are capable of great feats
i mean they , as in mankind had become one and man was very capable of accomplishing much .
GOD ended it . They have become as one and NOW there ....................
Yeah i dont marvel in men or his great abilities . Rather let us marvel in the GLORIOUS LORD . Be encouraged my friend
and let us beware , because it seems through another false we are one unifying religoin
they now build their own tower of many paths to GOD in which they THINK will reach heaven . BELIEVE ME IT WONT
and WILL SURELY come crashing down on the DAY of the LORD . The all inclusive many path tower
to GOD they do build , IS NEVER GONNA REACH TO GOD . JESUS WAS and IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD
and if one beleives not that but rather denies HIM , THEY AINT gonna make it .

Yeah, but then you likely are not impressed with Petra... and heaven forbid... be sure to not be impressed with the Indian (Native American) cliff dwellers either.

WHY would I be "impressed" with anything other than the Lord Jesus Christ?
