Apparently people from all over the US are coming and camping along highway I-35 (here), because of a scripture found in Isaiah Chapter 35, Verse 8 -- you will see a passage that in part says, "A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness."

I laughed when I saw the things people are praying for. They prayed that adult businesses along the corridor would "see the light" and perhaps close down. They prayed for safety and freedom from crime for people who lived along the interstate. They prayed that all Americans would accept Jesus into their lives.

Ok, so I can understand wanting everyone to accept Jesus coming from a Christian but only praying that people along the interstate are blessed seems a tad bit selfish doesn't it? Of course the Christian obsession with sex it going as strong as ever, the one thing that god seems to be most offended by is pornography.

The thing that worries me is what happens when 'faithful' Christians or Muslims find a scripture they feel if fulfilled will bring the end of the world?

Isaiah 35 is one of my favorite texts. That is where you will find the "highway of holiness". This book was written about the "future redeemed of God"

This highway is obviously NOT a real highway but is figurative one that Isaiah says will one day exist. The meaning of it is that one day, God will make the way of righteousness LIKE a highway, which is vast and open and easy to travel on. This road will be traveled on by ALL peoples. As opposed to the current "narrow road" that Christians travel which is cramped and hard to travel.

Basically this book is showing the future redemption of all of mankind. Peace, Lilly

dear SickofLies...

"The thing that worries me is what happens when 'faithful' Christians or Muslims find a scripture they feel if fulfilled will bring the end of the world?"...

And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead. Revelation 13:16

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God....The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4,9-12. Fortunately, Jesus is the "great equalizer"...flattening mountains and filling in valleys...one should be able to see the highway nowadays... love michelle

p.s. please keep in mind that "historically" the number 666 denotes antichrist/imperfection and the number 777 denotes christ/perfection and God is calling all to be "christmen"....ok?
