Source Antipater of Sidon described the temple as the grandest of all the 7 Wonders: “I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught (anything) so grand”. You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made by hands are not gods at all. Not only is there danger that this trade of ours will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be regarded as worthless, and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence.”” He was crafty.

Though the modern-day prophetic movement appears to be struggling for breath, it is God’s mercy that has allowed this season of shaking and pruning in order to make way for something fresh. Where words have been produced from polluted wells, God’s Spirit is looking for those with pure hearts and clean hands through whom He can breathe fresh life into that which appears dead.

Who should praise God? Psalm 150:6 says everything that has breath should praise the Lord. That's a cosmic invitation to worship.

We have the record that Ahaziah “walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly” (2 Chronicles 22:3).”“Within a year Athaliah’s son was wounded in his chariot by Jehu, commissioned by Elijah to overthrow the dynasty of Athaliah’s father. When the horses trampled over her body, which lay just inside her palace gates, her fate was not unlike that of her mother, Jezebel.“–end Edith Deen entry on Athaliah, 1955 An ignominious end to a murdering Baal worshiper. God also allowed this evil period to continue to demonstrate not only that He is committed to His promises, which cannot be thwarted, but to allow the evil to run the people back to Him, for which Priest Jehoiada eventually was the catalyst.
