Former granite monument in Georgia, US The Georgia Guidestones was a granite monument that stood in Elbert County, Georgia, United States, from 1980 to 2022. It was 19feet 3inches (5.87m) tall and made from six granite slabs weighing a total of 237,746 pounds (107,840kg).[1] The structure was sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge".[2][3] The monument's creators believed that there was going to be an upcoming social, nuclear, or economic calamity and they wanted the monument to serve as a guide for humanity in the world which would exist after it.[4] It initially garnered little controversy, but it ultimately became the subject of conspiracy theories which alleged that it was connected to Satanism.[5]On the morning of July 6, 2022, the guidestones were heavily damaged in a bombing,[2][6] and were dismantled later that day.[7][8] In late July, Elberton Mayor Daniel Graves announced plans to rebuild the monument.[9] However, on August 8, the Elberton city council voted to donate the remains of the monument to the Elberton Granite Association and return the five acres of land on which the monument was erected to its previous owner.[10] In June 1979, a man using the pseudonym Robert C.

CHAPTER 2* Generosity of Gods Plan.*1a You were dead in your transgressions and sins*2in which you once lived following the age of this world,* following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the disobedient.b3All of us once lived among them in the desires of our flesh, following the wishes of the flesh and the impulses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest.c4But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us,5d even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ* (by grace you have been saved),6raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus,e7that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.f8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God;g9it is not from works, so no one may boast.h10For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them.i One in Christ.*11Therefore, remember that at one time you, Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by those called the circumcision, which is done in the flesh by human hands,12were at that time without Christ, alienated from the community of Israel* and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.j13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have become near by the blood of Christ.k 14* For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh,l15abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person* in place of the two, thus establishing peace,m16and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it.n17He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near,o18for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.p 19So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God,q20built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,r with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.*21Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord;s22in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.t * [2:122] The gospel of salvation (Eph 1:13) that God worked in Christ (Eph 1:20) is reiterated in terms of what Gods great love (Eph 2:4), expressed in Christ, means for us. The passage sometimes addresses you, Gentiles (Eph 2:12, 8, 1113, 19, 22), but other times speaks of all of us who believe (Eph 2:37, 10, 14, 18). In urging people to remember their grim past when they were dead in sins (Eph 2:13, 1112) and what they are now in Christ (Eph 2:410, 13), the author sees both Jew and Gentile reconciled with God, now one new person, a new humanity, one body, the household of God, a temple and dwelling place of Gods Spirit (Eph 2:1516, 1922).
