A story for every day...

Shortly before His death, Jesus Christ announced to His apostles the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, assuring them that not one stone would remain standing. Several prophecies added that after its destruction, the Temple would never be rebuilt again. In the year 70 AD the Romans destroyed the city and the temple. To destroy the value of the word of God, the emperor Julian the Apostate tried to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem in 361. Workers came from all over, especially a large number of Jews, and already the walls of the temple were rising. Julian triumphed and with him the enemies of Christianity. But the joy was short-lived, for an earthquake toppled the unfinished sanctuary. Nevertheless one started again, because the hatred of Christianity blinded Julian and his party. But a more terrible earthquake and globes of fire coming out of the ground threatened to engulf the workers. The work had to be suspended, and the temple has not been rebuilt to this day.

God is faithful and keeps His promises.
