Day 325..."Do no listen to false prophets...Holding everything together through Christ"

Ezekiel warns of false prophets..."Thus says the Lord God, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! Your prophets have been like jackals among ruins." A jackal is in the wolf family. The imagery of the exile is desribed as carrying baggage through the wall.

Paul begins Colosians with more of a theological tone..."And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." He later describes the preeminence of Christ. (the highest rank) Christ is supreme..."For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church." Christ does hold our lives together, The Church together, and the world together!"
