Land Marks

[RevDWW]

What makes a Landmark? It's a dividing line between neighbor's, the property boundary.

What is it's purpose? Wasn't it distinguish one's field or property from another's?


Can a Landmark become an idol?

[Sam]

anybody remember this?

Let us all go back to the old landmark
Let us all go back to the old landmark
Let us all go back to the old landmark
and then stay in the service of the Lord.

Let us kneel in prayer in the old time way
Let us kneel in prayer in the old time way
Let us kneel in prayer in the old time way
and He'll be near us, He will hear us
We'll be given, bread from heaven
He will feed us until we want no more.

Preacher preach the word in the old time way
preachers preach the word in the old time way
Let us preach the word in the old time way
Tell the story of His glory, it will warn me
It will turn men and will save this world from sin and shame

Let us blend our voices in the old time way
Let us blend our voices in the old time way
Let us blend our voices in the old time way
Common meter, yes they're sweeter
When you stop singing, they'll keep ringing,
they'll keep lingering way down in your soul

A landmark, IMHO, would simply be a marker that distinguishes one area from another. At most statelines you have a landmarker stating that you are crossing into another state. Fences could be conveyed as landmarkers.

In the old testament , God set Landmarks for the land he would give to Abraham and his seed. In Christianity, I feel that Landmarks are boundaries that distinguish between those things that are righteous, and those things that are unrighteous. A landmark is similar to a informational sign, in that it states you are now leaving one place, and entering another.

Good points.

But in the Old testament the Landmarks seem to deal with ones property and that of their neighbor?

Would it only have to do with the righteous and unrighteous?

a landmark is a point of reference that tells you where you are standing in relation to it by distance and direction.

So a landmark might point someone to Calvary?
