In Him All Things Were Created

The Montezuma Castle is a pre-historic, twenty-room, five-story high-rise apartment complex nestled into a towering limestone cliff near Camp Verde, Arizona.

These cliff-dwellings were built 100 feet above the floor of Beaver Creek Canyon and lived in by the Sinagua people between 600 to 1100 AD.

Another larger ruin only a few yards away was constructed against the face of the cliff. This ruin consisted of 40 to 45 rooms.

The very small rooms were probably used for storing corn, and not as living quarters for people.

Montezuma Castle was wrongly named after an Aztec emperor of Mexico. European Americans gave these ruins this name because they thought the emperor was somehow connected and responsible for the building of them. However, it was later determined scientifically and historically that the Sinagua people abandoned the dwellings a hundred years before Montezuma was even born. Therefore, the name of these ruins misrepresents the truth.

God is the Creator of the world we live in, but many people have wrongly given the honour to other gods or man-made theories. The absolute truth resides in God's Word; in God all things were created.

"For in Him

all things were created:

things in heaven and on earth,

visible and invisible,

whether thrones or powers

or rulers or authorities;

all things have been created

through Him and for Him."

Colossians 1:16 (NIV)
