Many buildings are left without anyone working on them. These building skeletons show the economic crisis here in Mongolia.

Mongolia is one of the least developed countries in the world. The total population is less than 3 million and still there is no private ownership of a land. But, if you build a structure, you can obtain the ownership of the building. Some can also obtain a permit by setting up fences around the piece of land you want to claim as yours. Mongolians were nomads and the land is not to be owned but to be shared with others. Staying in one place means a death to many of them. Chingiskan conquered the third of the known world, but he did not build a grand palace. He lived in a simple “ger” made with sheep skin. He is still revered and worshiped in Mongolia.

God chose a nomadic nation of Israel, teaching us that we are the wanderers in the world. Ownership only belongs to the Lord. God did not want to dwell in a temple made with gold and precious stones. He wants us to be same. The temple in Jerusalem is destroyed beyond the recognition, but those who believe in Him walk all around the nation to spread His Good News.
