Spiritual Map of Huntsville Alabama
How characteristic of Huntsville whose history is so full of examples of
men and women standing for unity amongst diversity and against
oppression and tyranny.
There were many wealthy businessmen in Huntsville who remained
loyal to the Union during the Civil War, which is why the town was
spared the destruction by occupying armies. Once again showing that
Huntsville has been wise in knowing when to rebel against tyranny and
oppression (i.e. this declaration of independence replica, and the civil
rights support), yet we have also been wise enough to know when to
stand for union during a time of national strife. This reminds me of
Phinehas who was a man in the Scriptures that was given a Covenant of
Peace because he was zealous for God and judged oppression and
tyranny ruthlessly. Yet Phinehas had a discerning heart not to judge by
outward appearances and was able to get to the heart of a matter so as
not to create unneeded harm. The details on Phinehas were discussed
in chapter 5 of this book.
The Eternal Flame torch is reminiscent of Huntsville’s calling to be a
“Lampstand” of the Spirit of Knowledge, which will also be discussed
in the next chapter. There are seven spirits that burn before the throne
of God (Rev. 1:12), and Isaiah 11:2 spells out each of these seven
spirits as: 1) the Spirit of the Lord (love) 2) the Spirit of Wisdom (truth)
3) the Spirit of Understanding (revelation) 4) the Spirit of Counsel
(remembrance/restoration) 5) The Spirit of Might (power) 6) the Spirit
of Knowledge (publishing), and 7) the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord
(grace). This Spirit of Knowledge is the spirit the scribes in the Bible
were anointed with to publish the knowledge and truth of God’s Word.
The Spirit of Knowledge entails much more than just writing, but also
DECLARING the Word of the Lord.
Two other historical landmarks that are
found in Big Spring Park include a
Norwegian Light Beacon and a Fog
Bell that were given to Huntsville by
Norway in 1973. The ancient Light
beacon was one of the old oil burning
type lights that served as a guiding light
in the Marina. The fog bell was used to
