What an OPPORTUNITY to visit INSIDE this Castle, BEAUTIFUL 1350’s castle, south of Prague. In this set of towers are the most amazing artworks and chapels. Since one is not allowed to take photos, here are downloaded photos from a website.

I APPRECIATED the amazing tour and connecting with the tour guide in simple appreciation that she essentially taught us the book of Revelation with painted mural depictions, as well as explained the premiere tower chapel in full gold with 200 portraits of saints. The chapel also kept safe the Bohemian crown jewels as well as Holy Roman Emperor jewels in the 1300’s. These were moved eventually, but the tower has restored and nearly untouched amazing treasures !!! Beautiful. Beautiful especially to listen and see this portrayal story of faith…

I think (only my opinion hunch) that God is stretching our time to both gather more flock and set the stage for POST RAPTURE REVIVAL and awakening, as He is unfolding this NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR REVELATION for others. I am looking forward to this educational time of every day moments until THE moment. I feel that this castle gem also will help in that time – a hidden gem revealed…

Here is more explanation for my downloaded inside photos from the castle interior – actually 2 chapels: the Holy Chapel for storing the jewels and relics, designed in the envisioning of a New Jerusalem, all in gold with portraits of saints and relics from them, then the Marian tower chapel in the adjacent building, that’s what has vivid images painted of the book of Revelation. AMAZING. All these inside photos I downloaded from a website as we were restricted from taking photos inside. The tour runs early spring until fall, end of October for the big tower’s Holy Chapel, due to preservation concerns. 

Even though the political strife of the time pitted the reformers of Jan Hussites (just before Martin Luther in neighboring Germany) against the establishment of a corruptible church, the war was unable to breach the big tower, it was secured, even against future invaders. This complex was built as a hidden castle by Charles IV in approximately 1350’s for where the crown jewels of Bohemia plus the crown jewels of the Holy Roman Empire and all the believed relics were stored secretly. The Roman Emperor position transitioned back to Rome after this time. Charles Bridge and Prague Castle are also major builds during this time. The jewels of Bohemia are now at Prague Castle. 

My JOY multiplied in the true joy in the existence of people of strong educated faith in the old eras that still shines now. It might be flashy with all the gold and silver for the church buildings, but these items still stand as a testament for testimonials of faith. People do come visit and imagine the thousands of photos of Jesus by believers and non-believers alike. It’s of course an amazing preservation of the art and the tour guide this time really explained it so well, I felt that connection to a believer in her. I’ve been to this castle 3 times, this woman had the best tour explaining a physical tour from earthly treasures and existence to our future steps towards heaven, in an educational exposition for the sake of believers and non-believers. And of course so many Christians have never studied Revelation either, so this exhibit exposition is priceless…

Plus the area is so beautiful. The castle grounds and nearby castles are really accessible and beautiful in the preserved forest lands of the area. This is an opportunity that I hope to take (and teach) again and again.

I read about a preacher building a “prayer force of one million people who will intercede for the country in these last days.” I know we grow closer to end times, as many people avow, but perhaps we shouldn’t look at time shutting down as just last AWFUL days but keep our eyes peeled for LASTING OPPORTUNITY DAYS to share and pray and teach. Now IS the time people might be waking up more to wanting to learn. Keep this castle itinerary in your dream suitcases for these opportunities still surround us! Amen Amen
