ULURU ~ Visiting The Rock

The one place I feel so at home, is at THE ROCK...
So Huge, Majestic, Regal, and Spiritual.....
Its the place to see, and the place to be...
Yes, Ray had to show Gus, the Rock!

The colours are amazing... Ethereal !

This time I decided to photograph it differently.
Not from a distance which makes it look remote and cold, but up close and personal.

Ray and Gus decided to climb, then Gus discovered he became too breathless.

So Ray continued on by himself.
I was terrified as I watched him let go of the guide chain,  and walk alone.
There is a long way to fall, so I couldn't watch him go all the way. I sneaked a photo when I dared to look.

 

Getting higher.

As I sat and waited.

Almost at the top.  And the Rock changes colour.

Its quiet and its lonely, and the wait seems endless.

The sky darkened...and night began to fall. Still Ray remained on the Rock. Where on earth was he?
I began to get worried. The darker it got the more concerned we became. Gus was now with me and we were joined by a lawyer from Sydney named Robert.
I called, tooted the car horn and turned the flashing lights of the car on. Still no Raymond.
Then the Ranger arrived to close up. There was no visibility by now apart from vehicle lights.
Finally, Ray answered my call. The Ranger climbed a short distance to meet him, and shine the way of the last few meters down to level ground.

We had a 100klm drive back to the Homestead Station and our accommodation.
If I hadn't prepared for us to eat hot dogs that night, there would have been nothing for dinner.

PSALM91:1-2

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 

 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

When we are afraid, we can pray and trust God.

He takes care of what is out of our control. 

GOD Breathed Evidence - The Dead Sea Scrolls

Many people ask the question!
Can you prove the Bible is true?
How do you know it is?
Show me the evidence!

Well my question to them is.......
How can you prove the Bible is not true??
It seems many have tried to disprove it, and many have failed.

I have recently listened to a professor speak on the magnificent find of the Dead Sea Scrolls,

What an amazing discovery of Bible truths.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of about 900 documents, including texts from the Hebrew Bible, discovered between 1947 and 1956 in eleven caves in and around the ruins of the ancient settlement of Khirbet Qumran on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea in the West Bank.



In 1947 a young Bedouin boy decided to climb the face of some very high cliff's near the Dead Sea, to bring back his stray goats. 
His name was Juma and little did he realize his discovery of two small openings to one of the thousands of caves within the cliff, would hold a secret hidden for thousands of years. 
He threw a rock into one of the openings. Hearing an unexpected cracking sound, he suspecting treasure hidden within and called to his two cousins, Khalil and Muhammed. They climbed up to listen to his exciting tale.
The younger of the three boys investigated further a few days later and was saddened to find  nothing but broken old clay pots and pieces of old parchment.
Collectively found in total were 15,000 fragments from some 574 manuscripts...
All carefully written, recorded and safely stored for future discovery.

The scrolls those Bedouin boys removed would  later come to be recognized as the greatest manuscript treasure ever found.
The Dead Sea Scrolls--------
Proof of the Bible's existence and the truth of God's Word!!
