Lesson 8: PERFECT SECURITY & RICHES ARE FOUND IN GOD ALONE
We saw that Babylon was 14miles by 14miles wide, surrounded by walls of 350ft high & 90ft thick. It also had the Hanging Garden, one of the seven wonders of the world. King Nebuchadnezzar, his son and grandson who succeeded him all boasted of, and relied on, Babylon's military, economy & Hanging Garden. Instead of placing their trust & hope in the GOD who created ALL THINGS (THE CREATOR), they rather relied on the CREATED THINGS (CREATIONS).
Check through history, any nation or person whose trust was in physical things, other than God, was humiliated. God raised another one to do that task; & when that one also became puffed up, God humbled that one also, through another. It also applies to churches. If any church pays attention to buying cars, increasing the number of members, doin many & massive projects, building large auditorium, WITHOUT FIRST MAKING DISCIPLES WHO FEAR SIN, THAT CHURCH IS ONLY BUILDING BABYLON. ALL THOSE THINGS WILL BE RAISED DOWN.
In Revelation 3:14-22, the church of Laodicea boasted ‘'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing.’' But Christ had a different view; Christ saw her to be wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked; she was lukewarm - neither cold nor hot. Never ever assess a nation, church or an individual based on what natural senses tell U. Love for ''God & fellow human being; Hatred for Sin'' is the best way. I end here by saying that, PERFECT SECURITY is found in CHRIST ALONE; True Riches that do not perish are obtained from Christ ALONE. Amen
If God permits, tomorrow, we shall move to Part Six, Daniel 6.
