Ant Prayer

“When you have the right to the court of God,
Your right will be taken from Solomon by the ant.”
“Zenbilli Ali Efendi

“If the diraht (tree) is wrapped around the ant/
Is there any harm when it breaks the ant?”
Suleiman The Magnificent

We are the members of a civilization that calls its prayer with the ant and does not crush the ant. Happy for us..

A 100-year-old Ant Prayer as a memory from my late Fadliye grandmother, who was a Plovdiv immigrant.

We are from the Ant Civilization.

Seven Churches of Turkey (Asia Minor)

St.Paul’s Missionary Journeys. 

St. Paul’s trips and locations of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor

The missionary work of Paul in western Anatolia was accomplished between about 47 C.E. and 57 C.E. Some of the places that Paul visited and preached in Anatolia have always been identified as such.

Buildings that he would have known the – the theater in Ephesus, the city Council in Miletus, for instant – still exist. Some cities have not been located for sure, as is the case with Lystra and Derbe. For some, there is a difference in opinion on whether he actually got there. – the meeting of “Galatia” may include Ankara and Pessinus; it may mean only the region around Antioch of Pisidia.
Paul’s account is a dramatic example of the dangers of travel by sea in the winter and on the reason that Anatolia has been so important as a land bridge between Asia and Europe for migrants, traders, armies and ordinary travel travelers.
