What a worthwhile visit indeed ! Dan is located within feet to Lebanon and it has the High Place where Jeroboam set the golden calf that defeated Israel for hundreds of years and the high place where it was placed is still intact.
Hazor has obvious places where the heat of the fire burst the large basalt stones when Joshua overtook the city and burned it to the ground as commanded by God while it was occupied by the Canaanites after he over threw Jericho and other cities.
I again see that the enemy just causes us to see our small world and gets us involved in the little things and this keeps us from obedience to the greater call on our life. May we never be carried about with small idols of opinions and misgivings of dumb issues that keep us from seeing the picture the way God wants us to see. Our community has definitely caused us to be affected by tunnel vision and as a result keeps us boxed in a place of smaller things which are important but not to be held captive by. We need to be full of great courage and not allow the enemy to rule our thoughts and goals for Gods sake. Enemies are always enemies and are designed to hinder the work of God and will never help us us….NEVER !!! We can never compromise with the enemy, never find help or acceptance with the enemy !!! The enemy has to be driven out and soundly defeated !!! The enemy spoke through Peter to Jesus and made suggestions against the Cross that Jesus needed to bare. Jesus did many mighty works around some of these cities, But when it was about overcoming the enemies of their cultural gods….They refused to repent and Jesus the God of all power and mercy had to curse them and turn these glorious cities into piles of rubble just like Sodom and the other cities in the South. So I ask………….What does my city look like ???
