No one will every fully understand the power of God’s word and living by it. It has cause great kings to support a people to even rebuilding their temple, but not their kingdom. The fear of God is greater then one can imagine across the globe. It is probably more seen when the man hit’s the floor of the altar coming off the city street with not much knowledge of God, but with the understanding He needs God. Did ancient world understand the power of God or just felt his presents in their life and even dreams, to the poin the propelled them into his will despite their own desires. No it not like that. I think it more like, if you see someone helping someone and you desire to pitch in. It that kindness thing that is demonstrated that cause even grown men to cry. It is those answers to prayer and wisdom given in the mist of the storm. It is that knowledge and understanding of the world around them, that brings peace to war.

Israel would go back to Jerusalem to build the temple, but not without other countries around them supplying the wood and tools to get the project completed. Israel coming back to their land not with their own wealth but the wealth of others. After it is built people from east travel to worship the one true God. Coming far and wide by camels as in the days of Solomon. Prophesy or just understanding that God supply for his house is supplied by those that fear Him. Some of these coming from the east had witnessed the power of God like Egypt during the seven plagues, Abimelech who had a dream that protected him from sleeping with Abraham’s wife/sister. Yet it was this fear brought by God himself and not by man. Nations upon nations have bowed to the will of God despite who was in power.

At the time of Jesus the Roman’s were in power, yet the wise men came from the east places Jewish people had spent their time in, or had gone through. The wise men were supplying the need of Joseph and Mary through gifts that would lead them to Egypt for a short time until those in power were dead and no longer a threat to Jesus’ earthly life. Men coming afar on camel Dromedary. Wise men of noble stature coming from afar because of a star in the East. Yet the star in the east was prophetic, but was the camels. Nature of events, On 911 many went to New York to see the reality. Some even walking and hitch hiking to see. Crazy really, yet people wanted to know. If people flocked to church like they do a disaster would we have to worry about terror? A sign, a symbol of truth of God’s word given to a people that were idolaters, coming in a carvan of camels. These men were of noble stature, feeling it more important to go and see for themselves then to stay at home and mind the religious order and legal order. Traveling some great distance to the land of Jerusalem the city belonging to Judah, or Kingly line of Israel. However they knew not that the city where Christ would be born was in Bethlehem. They had inquire of the king at Jerusalem which was a foreign king.

Never ask a government about prophesy they know little about, only follow the religious group to see what will happen next. Government only going to continue searching for errors, while God’s people are going to be bowing to the throne of God. Leading people to the throne of God, saying let the government do their thing and we do ours and that is leading people toward God and seeing lives changed for Christ glory and honor. The church world fights the enemy at the altar of God and not in the courts. Yet there is time when courts have to act against terror.

What the point? God had believers all over, but some were not willing to give up their idols. Yet they still came to worship in the temple and later at the feet of Jesus. This would effect the world for generations and generations to come. People made to fear God because of the blessings they received by the God of Israel when they obeyed. All done by the power of God working in the lives of both his hands and his people an extension of his hands.

Dear Heavenly Father the extension of love from hands of your people as well as the move of your Spirit in the hearts of the world around them, will move the mountains of sin and destruction against your people and theirs. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
