Draw awe
from the beauty that you saw.
Happy are those who have the faith and awe
to take delight in the common law.
Their descendents will be healthy in the land.
The generation of the educated will be grand.
Wealth and order will be in their house.
Family trust will be their spouse.
Light shines in the darkness for those who wait.
Shape for form in substance becomes easy to appreciate.
It is good to produce something of value for surplus
to help manage affairs with reason for purpose.
The productive will not be shaken.
Service will last in remembrance. It won't be taken.
They will not be frightened by fake news.
Their heart is right. They won't lose.
Their resolve is established. It will not shrink.
The achievement of goals will not make them blink.
Their honor will stand fast forever.
They will remember the reward for effort.
Those who sought to do damage to honor will see their error.
They will turn back from their error with terror.
I have given you as a covenant.
You are a light for government.
Your deliverance from captivity
showed objectivity in law with relativity.
Those who had not seen will see
that the captives were set free
from the darkness of slavery
with faith in their future delivery.
The disciples spoke the word of faith to no one except the Jews
until the Hellenists were included in the good news.
The Jews had made education
in religion the vocation
for any nation.
The son of encouragement held the hope
that Gentiles would also take this rope
to learn to cope.
The kingdom of heaven has come near.
The paralyzed, possessed and blind will be delivered from their fear.

Isa. 42:6-7
I am the LORD, I have called you in righteousness.

Acts 11:19-26
Those who were scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch. They spoke the word to no one except the Jews. Some men of Cyprus and Cyrene spoke to the Hellenists on coming to Antioch. They proclaimed the Lord Jesus. The hand of the Lord was with them. A great number became believers. News of the conversion came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem. They sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced. He exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast devotion. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith. A great many people were brought to the Lord. Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul. When he found him, he brought him to Antioch. It was there for an entire year they associated with the church and taught a great many people. It was in Antioch that the disciples were first called 'Christians.'

====================
There was a classical influence on the island of Cyprus. The theater of Salamis is an example.
The Theater
Salamis was an ancient Greek city-state on the east coast of Cyprus. It sits at the mouth of the river Pedieos 6 km north of modern Famagusta. The founder of Salamis was Teucer, son of Telamon, according to tradition. Teucer could not return home after the Trojan war because he had failed to avenge his brother Ajax.
The "cultural centre" of Salamis during the Roman period was situated at the northernmost part of the city. A gymnasium, theater, amphitheater, stadium and public baths have been revealed. There are baths, public latrines (for 44 users), various little bits of mosaic, a harbor wall, a Hellenistic and Roman agora and a temple of Zeus that had the right to grant asylum.
It was the island’s most important port city. Ships stopped there from the Middle East and from Europe in antiquity. Many of the ships came from the Aegean. Salamis was the largest city on the island during the Roman period. It surpassed even Paphos, the administrative capital.
Barnabas
Son of Encouragement
Barnabas of the Seventy was born on the island of Cyprus into the family of the tribe of Levi. He was named Joseph. He was a Cypriot Jew according to Acts 4:36.
Acts 4:36
Joseph, a Levite, born in Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (son of encouragement), sold a field he owned, brought the money, and turned it over to the apostles.
--------------------------
He received his education at Jerusalem with his friend and fellow student Saul, the future Apostle Paul, under the renowned teacher of the Law, Gamaliel.
He was one of the prominent Christian disciples in Jerusalem. He was named an apostle in Acts 14:14. His new name fits what is known of his actions. When Saul (or Paul) came to Jerusalem after his conversion, most of the Christians there wanted nothing to do with him. They had known him as a persecutor and an enemy of the Church.
Barnabas was willing to give him a second chance. He went to Tarsus, spoke with him and brought him to see the other Christians in Antioch. Later, Paul and Barnabas went on a missionary journey together. They took Mark with them. Mark turned back and went home before they had finished the mission.
Barnabas and Paul traveled together making more converts (c 45-47). They defended Gentile converts against the Judaizers.
They participated in the Council of Jerusalem (c 50). They successfully evangelized among the "God-fearing" Gentiles who attended synagogues in various Hellenized cities of Anatolia.
When they were about to set out on another such journey, Barnabas proposed to take Mark. Paul was against it. He said that Mark had shown himself undependable.
Barnabas wanted to give Mark a second chance. He and Mark went off on one journey. Paul took Silas and went on another. Apparently Mark responded well to the trust given him by the "son of encouragement." Paul later thought of him as a valuable assistant (2 Tim 4:11; see also Col 4:10 and Phil 24).

Antakya, Turkey (Antioch)
Antakya was known as Antioch in ancient times. The city has historical significance for Christianity. It was the place where the followers of Jesus Christ were called Christians for the first time. The city and its massive walls also played an important role during the Crusades.
Late Antiquity
The city had a large population of Jewish origin in a quarter called the Kerateion. It attracted the earliest missionaries. It was evangelized by Peter himself among others. The Antiochene patriarchate still rests its claim for primacy according to this tradition.
It was the starting point for Barnabas and Paul during the first missionary journey. Its converts were the first to be called Christians. This is not to be confused with Antioch in Pisidia, to which the early missionaries later travelled.
Several small Christian communities are still active in the city. The largest church is St. Peter and St. Paul on Hurriyet Caddesi. The long history of spiritual and religious movements makes Antakya a place of pilgrimage for Christians.
The city is home to a functioning synagogue serving the Jewish community. It has a reputation in Turkey as a place for spells, fortune telling, miracles and spirits.
The location near the Syrian border makes the city more cosmopolitan than many cities in Turkey. It did not attract the mass immigration of people from eastern Anatolia in the 1980's and 1990's that radically swelled the populations of Mediterranean cities such as Adana and Mersin. Both Turkish and Arabic are still widely spoken in Antakya. Written Arabic is rarely used.
A mixed community of faiths and denominations co-exist peacefully here. Most of the inhabitants are Muslim. A substantial proportion adhere to the Alevi and the Arab Alawi traditions. There is a place to honor the Alawite saint Hızır in 'Harbiye.' Numerous tombs of saints for both the Sunni and Alawite are located throughout the city.
