The Cedars of Lebanon

I thought you might be interested to see what a Cedar of Lebanon looks like.  It is somewhat different from the cedars we have in the USA.  #1.  They are a very straight, tall tree and do not smell as strong. I like the way the branches seem to curve before turning up.  It is a very beautiful tree.  I think they get much taller than the varieties we are used to.  Anciently they were used for ship masts.  #2. during the reigns of King David and King Solomon, the cedar was used to ornament the temple, as well as their palaces.  There are also a number of prophecies in Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekial, that compare and antichrist a cedar of Lebanon.  Interesting.....
