Gods promise, Isaiah 59:21
Galatians 3:16 tells us, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to the seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed which is in Christ.” In Christ, both Jew and Gentile inherit the promises.
Galatians 3:29 says, “And if ye [be] Christs, then ye are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
We need not take any thought of what we are to say. God will fill us with what we should say, as we need it. He is with us and in us.
Colossians 1:27 says, “To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which Christ is in you, the hope of glory:”

Atlantis
Why the fascination with Atlantis?
We have one source for Atlantis. Plato, who heard of Atlantis from a friend who heard of Atlantis from his grandfather who heard it from solon who heard it from an Egyptian priest. That's the only legitimate source for Atlantis. The story says that Atlantis was at war with Athens. Why isn't that more noteworthy?! Athens is comparable to Atlantis in Platos story and no one talks about that. How much time, effort and money spent to find a mythical city when we could be trying to determine how old Athens actually is. Or we could look into ancient pre deluvian wonders we do know about like Dwarka, Yonoguni, or any number of sites verifiable to 10,000 BC. Atlantis is seriously overrated, if it existed at all.

Wisdom, knowledge and understanding
Wisdom is the ability to have good judgment based on knowledge. Knowledge is the information, skills, and facts gained by someone through life experience or education. Understanding is the ability to decide. Understanding is knowledge put into action.
If knowledge is power, and wisdom is your choice to use that power, then understanding would be executing your choice to use that power.
Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding are all noble qualities to have and all humans should seek to possess them.

Keturah,
The Scriptures nowhere authorize the introduction of Keturah as a figure of a covenant. So far as Keturah herself is concerned, she was never a wife, as Sarah was; she was not even a servant of a wife, as Hagar was the maid of Sarah, and as the Law Covenant has been in some sense a servant of the New Covenant. (Gen. 16: 1-3; Heb. 8: 4, 5 ; 10: 1; 1 Cor. 10: 1-11; Gal. 3 : 24.)
The word translated “wife,” in Gen. 25: 1, is ” ishshah,” which has a very wide range of applications, both good and evil, and is so used in Scripture. (In Gen. 16: 3 is found an illustration of the range of this word, in that both Sarah and Hagar are described as “wife,” though it is most obvious that the best sense of the word could not have applied in Hagar’s case.) The word translated “concubine” in 1 Chron. 1 : 32, is “pilegesh.”
It has no other meaning than that given in the text.
These are the only places where Keturah’s name is mentioned, and they undoubtedly show her position in Abraham‘s household.
The children of Keturah, so far as Scripture informs, we're not godly people. Some of them were very much the reverse of godlike, and were the enemies of God’s people. They were not such as could typify children of God by a covenant, especially not the New Covenant. The Midianites, descendants of Keturah, were particularly the enemies of Israel, and some other tribes descended from her were in doubtful, if not unfavourable, positions. — Num. 25: 17; Jer. 25: 23; Ezek. 27: 15, 20, 22, 23; 38: 13.

It is safe to leave the Apostle’s allegory as he left it, and not suppose that because Abraham’s wife and her bondmaid were used as figures of divine covenants, his concubine Keturah is to be so regarded. If Keturah, why not the others? For Abraham had more than one in that relation, though their names are not known. — Gen. 25: 6.

Idols
In the book of Ezekiel, Ch 8, the prophet is taken into the house of God where he sees the elders of the house of Israel worshiping and praying to various carved idols. The Lord proclaimed judgment on his own house because of the detestable acts that were taking place within the temple walls. He sealed his own, the ones who “sighed and groaned over the detestable practices committed” in the temple, so that they might be spared. He then commanded that the temple be completely defiled and the courts filled with the slain.
Be careful not to be found mourning for the idols as God’s wrath is poured out. There is no such thing as a “Christian idol”. God clearly prohibited this practice from the very beginning.
Exodus 20:4-6
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.”
