Description

Hieropolis is one of the three cities in the Lycus River Valley. The other two being Colossae and Laodicea. Hieropolis, was well known for its hot thermal baths. It was full of curative minerals. Hieropolis means sacred city. A reference is made to it in the address to the church in Laodicea, found in the book of Revelation 3: 15-16. "I know your deeds that you are neither cold nor hot, I wish you were either one or the other." This is an implication of cities/nations/individuals/families/churches that are supposedly Christian but are complacent in their committment.

Whoa, heavy reference! This reminds me of some of the hot geyser pools in Yellowstone park. Fantastic color of the turquoise pool and excellent mineral surfaces. EXC.

Noel, this is so beautiful, it makes me feel like getting, and learning Terragen. I had the program some time ago, & I imagine, it's advanced quite a bit since then. The lighting, and most expecially the verse help to make this a very powerful and soul searching image! God bless you for posting it!

Conviction of 'Faith' (knowing that God has a plan and is working it out perfectly) is one of the hardest things to master... a grand image which to me depicts 'letting go and letting God'... ^
