When Jacob flee from his brother Esau, on his way to his uncle's place in Haran, when evening came, he spent the night Luz. He took a stone and used it as a pillow. In his sleep, in the dream, he saw a ladder from heaven pointing where he was with angels moving up and down. When morning came, he said that though it was a dream, but that was a house of God. He took the stone he had used as a pillow and planted it as a pillar and anointed it calling that place Bethel (The house of God), he also prayed to God and made a covenant that he would return to the same place and build an altar, if God would take him to Haran in peace and make him prosperous.
20 years later, after he settled in Haran and God had blessed him with a family and a lot of wealth, God reminded him that he needed to go back to Bethel as he had covenanted with God.
In relation to that, God is calling us to go back to Bethel and, and from Jacob's example, we need to leave behind all form of UNGODLINESS as in Haran (this world) we have been assimilated into idol worshipping and conformed to the patterns of Haran.
