It is easier for a camel

[shortlady]

It is easier for a camel to go through the*
eye of a needle than for a rich man to*
enter the kingdom of God." *
****************( Mark 10:25 *NKJV )


***This verse has been misunderstood by many people
throughout history. *Many even falsely believe that being
successful is a sin. *Well, they could not be further from
the truth, for it is written;*Beloved, I pray that
you may prosper in all things and be in health,
just as your soul prospers. ***( 3 John 2 )

***Now, what Jesus was referring to in the top
verse was a person who loved their money more than they
loved their Heavenly Father. *For you see in Jesus' time,
just as today, many people were very unscrupulous, and
their money came from ill-gotten gain! *After all it is written;
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of*
evil. *Some people, eager for money, have*
wandered from the faith and pierced themselves*
with many griefs.
***********************************( 1 Timothy 6:10 )

***The other thing people often do not understand is the
"Eye of the Needle." *Also in Jesus' time all villages were
surrounded by a wall for protection from their enemies. *So
each village had a main gate that was open only in the
daytime, and a small side gate for night entry. **This small
gate was called the "needle," and was very small.

***Now those with stolen goods would try to sneak them
into town at night through that small gate. *One problem
they had was, a camel could not walk through this small
gate with a full load on its back, so the load often had to
be removed. Then the poor camel would still have to walk
on its knees to enter through the gate. **Not an easy task
to say the least, especially for the poor camel!

***So , know in your heart that as long as you keep
God Number One in your life, you may prosper, and *be
successful on Earth and still enter the Kingdom of God as
well! *For it is written;"May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within*
your palaces." Amen. ( Psalms 122:6-7 )

another part to this scripture is between jerusalem and bethlehem there is a rock on a path that many have traveled thru. its a huge arch. its called "the eye of the needle". i have seen the picture many times in my life and i am sure if you google it you can find a picture. the significance is God made the earth, and on the earth is a rock called the eye of the needle. basicly all things are possible THRU GOD. He always makes a way when you obey and seek Him.
