Why Standing Stones?

Why Standing Stones?

In ancient Israel, people stood stones on their end to commemorate a powerful move of God in their lives. It was a memorial to something God spoke or revealed or did. Often these standing stones became reference points in their lives. Today, we can find reference points in the written Word of God. Any scripture or sermon can speak something powerful into our lives, or reveal something of the nature of God. In this blog I offer, what can become a reference point for Christians, taken from God's ancient word and applied to today's world.

God in Ancient China




 

Hebrews 1:1-2

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 

God has spoken to people in many ways:  Through the Prophets, through Jesus' words on the cross, through the Gospels, through preaching and other ways.  In this video God speaks to the Chinese people through their own written language.  The characters used here are the traditional Mandarin characters, that are used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.  The characters in China were "simplified" during Mao's Cultural Revolution.

The oldest known reference of written Chinese characters was from 2,500 years before the birth of Christ. This puts it very close to the death of Shem who actually lived through many examples mentioned here, such as the Flood and the Tower of Babel.
