Matthew 5-7 took place here - beatitudes - opposite of what the world was accustomed to and the world suggests

The words were shocking as Jesus gave us a better way to liveLue lisää

Capernaum
23. toukokuuta 2023, Israel ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Capernaum - Jesus was born in Bethlehem, brought up in Nazareth, and preached in Jerusalem but it was the significant Galilean Ministry years which he spent in Capernaum and where he performed many of his miracles. Capernaum became his home and the Bible calls it Jesus' “own city”.

Trade route to Rome, Greece, Egypt, etc.

Countless miracles were performed here - the 2nd most only to Jerusalem

Jesus ministry triangle - Jerusalem/Capernaum/Bethsaida

roman mile markers are here

Peter's house is here - likely fished outside it on the Sea of Gaililee. Octagon shaped (supposedly b/c of 8 beatitudes) and has been built upon many times; Jesus spent considerable time here; man on mat was lowered through roof here

Jesus said to "Feed my Sheep" here

Synagogue - means a place to sit and share; in ancient times rabbi's taught in synagogues and often referenced what other rabbi's said, but Jesus never did that - He spoke with authority and owned what He said

Damascus is NE of here - where Paul had his revelation

70% of Gospels happened in northern end of Sea of Gaililee

Mt Arbel
23. toukokuuta 2023, Israel ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Mount Arbel (Optional Hike) - Mount Arbel is one of those places never mentioned in the Bible. Its presence was so obvious, it was assumed. Certainly, anyone traveling around the Sea of Galilee or along the International Highway would have used Arbel as a landmark, identifiable from most any spot on the lake.

the valley next to Arbel is how Jesus traveled to Nazareth

Romans lowered themselves down this cliff via rope and used spears to stab Jews staying in the cliff-side cavesLue lisää

Caesarea Philippi
24. toukokuuta 2023, Syyria ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Golan Heights Tour - the Bible, Golan is mentioned as a city of refuge located in Bashan: Deuteronomy 4:43, Joshua 20:8, 1 Chronicles 6:71. 19th-century authors interpreted the word Golan (Hebrew: גולן) as meaning "something surrounded, hence a district".

• Caesarea Philippi - One of the villages around Caesarea Philippi was the setting for Jesus’ famous statement to Peter, “On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18). This passage contains the very first use of the word church in the New Testament

fig and almond trees

source of jordan river (1 of 3 sources); this makes up 25% of Jordan that feeds Sea of Gaililee and then Dead Sea (but it's dammed up so it doesn't really feed Dead Sea - keeps farmers crops fertile near Gaililee region)

Caves here were for goat and child sacrifice

borders Lebanon

When people wanted to honor Caesar, they named something Caeserea (sesserea) - this was after Herod's son Phillip

Panyas - named after the greek god Pan; god of sexuality

Arabs called it Banyes (not Pan)

Bottomless pit here is where water came from, so it was referred to as the gates ofhell

this is farthest north that Jesus brought disciples

Matt 16 - who do you say I am (to Peter); on this rock I will build my Church; first mention fo the word church in the Bible

Reference that they would not be overcome by the gates of hell - which was here

This is horrible place - Jesus brought disciples here to see the shock and horror of the world

This was 1st substantial of Jesus saying He was the Messiah; Jesus then predicted His death and Peteer rejected it

Deny yourself and take up their cross; gain whole world and lose soulLue lisää

Tel Dan
24. toukokuuta 2023, Israel ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Tel Dan - Tel Dan Stele is a fragmentary stele containing a Canaanite inscription which dates to the 9th century BCE. It is notable for possibly being the most significant and perhaps the only extra-biblical archeological reference to the house of David.

Banyas waterfall (separate stop just to see waterfalls) - Source of the Jordan river (50%) - hence the name "of the dan ... of jor dan".

Solomon's son jehobam was told to be nicer but turned mean - he made temples in Dan & Bethel and told people they didn't need to go to Jerusalem to worship

There's a temple built here in defiance of God

Jerobam was pure evil

Lebanon/Jordan/Israel - violent border until 1994; still somewhat violent

DMZ w Lebanon and Syria

Israeli bunkers here too

David's existence was questinoed but they found old scrolls here that depicted David's armies

Abraham's gate - oldest in world; we know he was hereLue lisää

Magdala

1C synagogue (1st century)

home of Mary Magdalene

Jesus was at this synagogue

Mark 16 - Mary M had 7 demons

Luke 8 - Jesus went town-to-town with disciples and Mary M and others

Mary M and Peter were well-resourced and likely supported much of Jesus' ministryLue lisää

Bath house - burned coal and water to fill the room with steam; basis of modern day heating and AC

Roman roads were basis of modern urban planning

25. toukokuuta 2023, Palestiina ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C
Qumran - region in NW Jordan, near the Dead Sea: site of the caves in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

1050 below sea level

cave is where 1st dead sea scrolls found

across is Nebo where moses got stuck and couldn't get to promised land

moab is here too - further north in my picture
