The Return II

One of the greatest strengths of the Roman Empire was their roads. These roads had to be recleared and releveled periodically, especially when an important personage such as a king was to travel on them.

"As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
'The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level ways, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."'"
(Luke 3:4-6 ESV)
"Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
Who is the King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of host,
He is the King of glory." Selah
(Psalm 24:7-10 NASB)
