Hosea 10: 1 – 15
Mountain Mansions
1 Israel empties his vine; He brings forth fruit for himself. According to the multitude of his fruit He has increased the altars; According to the bounty of his land they have embellished his sacred pillars. 2 Their heart is divided; Now they are held guilty. He will break down their altars; He will ruin their sacred pillars. 3 For now they say, “We have no king, because we did not fear the LORD. And as for a king, what would he do for us?” 4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant. Thus, judgment springs up like hemlock in the furrows of the field. 5 The inhabitants of Samaria fear because of the calf of Beth Aven. For its people mourn for it, and its priests shriek for it—Because its glory has departed from it. 6 The idol also shall be carried to Assyria as a present for King Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. 7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off like a twig on the water. 8 Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars; They shall say to the mountains, “Cover us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!” 9 “O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah; There they stood. The battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them. 10 When it is My desire, I will chasten them. Peoples shall be gathered against them when I bind them for their two transgressions. 11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh grain; But I harnessed her fair neck, I will make Ephraim pull a plow. Judah shall plow; Jacob shall break his clods.” 12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, till He comes and rains righteousness on you. 13 You have plowed wickedness; You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, because you trusted in your own way, in the multitude of your mighty men. 14 Therefore tumult shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be plundered as Shalman plundered Beth Arbel in the day of battle—A mother dashed in pieces upon her children. 15 Thus it shall be done to you, O Bethel, because of your great wickedness. At dawn the king of Israel shall be cut off utterly.
Want to flee the upcoming nuclear war and you got a spare 3 million dollars laying around then I have the ideal place for you to hide out WW III like many other billionaires. The Beckham Creek Cave House located in the Arkansas Ozarks is available.
If you want t check it out, you can experience this new lifestyle as a guest and stay inside a unique dwelling inside a natural cavern. The home currently rents for $`1200 a night in low season (December to March), and $1600 a night in high season (April to November)
The residence is now up for sale and can be yours for a cool $2.75 million.
The cave house has four bedrooms and four bathrooms inside nearly 6,000 square feet of living space. The property, which was recently remodeled, also has an indoor waterfall sourced from an “under-the-floor spring originating from deep within the heart of the cave,” along with its own geothermal heating system.
The kitchen is state-of-the-art, and there is a large custom-built wooden bar for guests to come and gather around.
In the living room, you can enjoy a movie in the giant 75-inch LED television mounted into the cavern’s walls.
The plush queen size beds in the bedrooms and oversized bathrooms with rain showers add to the experience.
Outside the home there is a barn, along with an apartment above the horse stables, a helicopter landing pad — because who doesn’t need one of those — and a spring-fed lake. In total, the property encompasses about 260 acres.
And the entire place is nestled deep within the Ozarks, making this a retreat perfect for a nature lover.
However, for all you rich people who think this is the answer for mankind, let me give you a little warning if you are thinking of fleeing to your own little island or hiding in comfort in your cave mountain mansion for scripture says;
Revelation 6: 14 – 17, “14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
