Acts 19
The Temple of Diana was one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World. A monstrous and beautiful building it stretched out longer than and wider than a soccer field (football in most of the world) and towered over the ancient city of Ephesus. Pilgrims poured in from around the Roman world bringing a huge income to local merchants and spurring on the trade in the religious souvenirs that Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen made, sold and got rich.
“And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks” (Acts 19:1010And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. (Acts 19:10)). But word of the Lord brought truth to pagan Ephesus. The real living wonder of the Word lives today. The Temple of Diana collapsed many centuries ago.
