THE TEMPLE OF THE GREAT ARTEMIS AND OF HER IMAGE THAT FELL FROM HEAVEN

-

ACTS 19:34-37

BUT WHEN THEY RECOGNIZED THAT HE WAS A JEW, THEY ALL SHOUTED IN UNISON, “GREAT IS ARTEMIS OF THE EPHESIANS!” FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. AFTER THE CITY SECRETARY QUIETED THE CROWD, HE SAID, “MEN OF EPHESUS, WHAT PERSON IS THERE WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE CITY OF THE EPHESIANS IS THE KEEPER OF THE TEMPLE OF THE GREAT ARTEMIS AND OF HER IMAGE THAT FELL FROM HEAVEN?  
SO BECAUSE THESE FACTS ARE INDISPUTABLE,YOU MUST KEEP QUIET AND NOT DO ANYTHING RECKLESS. FOR YOU HAVE BROUGHT THESE MEN HERE WHO ARE NEITHER TEMPLE ROBBERS NOR BLASPHEMERS OF OUR GODDESS.

Hebrews 11:17-40 BY FAITH  ABRAHAM, WHEN HE WAS TRIED, OFFERED UP ISAAC:  AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES  OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,  OF WHOM IT WAS SAID,  THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED:   ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE  TO RAISE HIM UP,  EVEN FROM THE DEAD;  FROM WHENCE  ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM  IN A FIGURE.   BY FAITH ISAAC blessed Jacob and Esau  CONCERNING THINGS TO COME BY FAITH JACOB, WHEN HE WAS DYING blessed both the sons of Joseph; and  WORSHIPPED, LEANING UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF.

ISAIAH 65:9-16   AND I WILL BRING FORTH  A SEED OUT OF JACOB,  AND OUT OF JUDAH  AN INHERITOR OF MY MOUNTAINS: AND MINE ELECT SHALL INHERIT IT,  AND MY SERVANTS SHALL  DWELL THERE.  AND SHARON SHALL  BE A FOLD OF FLOCKS,  AND THE VALLEY OF ACHOR  A PLACE FOR THE HERDS  TO LIE DOWN IN,   FOR MY  PEOPLE THAT HAVE SOUGHT ME . BUT YE ARE THEY THAT FORSAKE THE LORD, THAT FORGET  MY HOLY MOUNTAIN,  THAT PREPARE  A TABLE FOR THAT TROOP,   AND THAT FURNISH THE DRINK  OFFERING UNTO THAT NUMBER.   THEREFORE WILL  I NUMBER YOU TO THE SWORD ,  AND YE SHALL ALL BOW DOWN  TO THE SLAUGHTER:  BECAUSE WHEN I CALLED, YE DID NOT ANSWER; WHEN I SPAKE, YE DID NOT HEAR ; BUT DID EVIL BEFORE MINE EYES, AND DID CHOOSE THAT WHEREIN I DELIGHTED NOT. THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD, BEHOLD, MY SERVANTS SHALL EAT,  BUT YE SHALL BE HUNGRY : BEHOLD, MY SERVANTS SHALL DRINK, BUT YE SHALL BE THIR...
