A Lesson at the Temple of Baal - Keith W Stump - December 1983

Keith W Stump

The ruins of an ancient desert temple bear an important message for us today! The first view of the ruined city is unforgettable. As you approach the ancient site, the narrow road begins to curve around low hills. Soon, a final turn - and there it is! You suddenly look down on a spectacular array of pillars and walls stretching away across the desert - the ruins of fabled Palmyra. What a city this must have been! As you survey the extensive ruins basking in the burning desert sun, the imagination seeks to reconstruct the wealthy oasis city of ancient times: the colonnaded streets, richly decorated houses, spacious courtyards, bustling marketplaces. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
