I think today's Monday Morning Message will interest and amaze you! Were it not for an article on PRESBYTERIAN OUTLOOK - my favorite source of "religious news" - I would not know about this remarkable celebration.
Yesterday, 10/10/10, the city of Jericho, one of the oldest cities in the world, celebrated its 10,000th birthday! Yes, you read that right: The city of Jericho is at least 10,000 years old. Happy Birthday Jericho!
Jericho does have the distinction of being 850 feet below sea level, the lowest altitude of any city in the world. Now it adds to that distinction a new milestone - a lifetime of 10,000 years.
I looked up several best known Bible stories which are connected with Jericho. You may want to read Joshua, chapter 2, Joshua 6:1-25, and Luke 19:1-10.
Fond regards...and thanks PRESBYTERIAN OUTLOOK!
