Masada
26 mei 2023, Israël ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Masada - is a symbol of the ancient kingdom of Israel, its violent destruction and the last stand of Jewish patriots in the face of the Roman army, in 73 A.D. It was built as a palace complex, in the classic style of the early Roman Empire, by Herod the Great, King of Judaea,

Jews and Romans battled here

Herod the Great built a palace atop the mountain - we rode tram to get up here

3 tiers of Roman security - commoners/early army, elite forces, and at the top is the king

150' above sea level at the top of the mountain - base of mtn is well below sea level

Jews committed suicide when Romans closed in on top of mountain and took it over; they would rather have died than become Roman slavesMeer informatie

En Gedi
26 mei 2023, Israël ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Ein Gedi - When David fled from Saul, he hid in En Gedi among the rocks there (1 Samuel 23:29). The specific location where Saul searched for David was called “The Crags of the Wild Goats,” because of the rocky terrain of En Gedi (1 Samuel 24:2). Saul followed David to En Gedi and, while in a cave, David had the opportunity to kill his pursuer (1 Samuel 24:2–4). Instead of killing Saul, he cut off a piece of Saul’s robe,

Named after springs

"Jesus Tree" is a Jesus Jewbabee, which is where crown of thorns came from (see pics)

Even tree names in the Bible are accurate for the region they came from (Olive, Sycamore, Fig, etc.). Not true of the Koran - grossly inconsistent

David was anointed to be king by Samuel. Saul got mad and hunted for David. David gathered some people and hid here in EnGedi. Meer informatie

Garden Tomb
27 mei 2023, Palestina ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Garden Tomb (Devotional, Prayer, and Communion) - the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus.

Holy Sepulchure was originally believed to be the place, so Constantine erected a church there, but later archaeological findings suggests it's here

Skull is visible here (Golgatha - see pics) and is close to a major crossroads, which is why it's also believed to be here - Romans wanted crucifixions @ crossroads so more people would see and fear

It's also believed Abraham offered Isaac here - the Ram that took the place of Isaac was premonition of Jesus becoming the sacrifice

It was prophesied that Jesus would be buried in a new tomb, which only happened with rich men. Tombs were used by families and reused for generations. After the body was in the tomb a year, the family would get the bones and put them in a cement bone box (like on Mt of Olives).

We did communion and worship hereMeer informatie

Bethlehem church of Nativity
27 mei 2023, Palestina ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C
Church of the Nativity - Nestling in the slopes east of Bethlehem, about a mile from the Church of the Nativity, the 'Shepherds' Field' is where the angel first announced on Jesus' birth

Even muslims believe Jesus to be a prophet

Birthplace was a cave that we entered; again, a large church was built over the site - within feet of here

At the time, the population of Bethlehem was around 700 - very small city on a hill

Jesus was born in a cave, not a manger

The entrance to the church is very small so as to keep attackers from riding or running in

Outside the church is St Jerome who translated the Bible in caves here over many years

They also found the skulls of 30 infants here as well, which match the dating and ages of Herod killing male babies near Bethlehem after hearing about Jesus

Inside the cave is both the birth place and the mangerMeer informatie

Shepherds Field
27 mei 2023, Palestina ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
• Shepherds Field -

Very close to Bethlehem where Jesus was born; suburb of Jerusalem

Shepherds were told by Angels that Jesus was born

The Byzantines built a church here

Ruth & Boaz happened here, and David was a shepherd here

East of here is Dead Sea and Moab

Luke 2

Quirinius was governor of Syria - later proven via archaeology

Angels announced Messiah to shepherds

Again, God used the least of these (shepherds) to elevate to high positions in the Bible - shepherds were lowly

Good news - came from word evangelism, where public announcements were made in the town square. This was usually when an heir to the throne was born, and in this case Jesus

The shepherds just kept telling people that the Messiah was born, and whether they were believed or not, they kept sharing the good news, which is what we're called to doMeer informatie

City of David
28 mei 2023, Palestina ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
City of David - Jerusalem; City of David is an archaeological site that reveals the birth place of Jerusalem. About 3,000 years ago, King David left his beloved city, Hebron, and headed for Jerusalem with one clear goal, to turn Jerusalem into a political, religious, and spiritual capital for the entire Jewish people.

David's authenticity was originally challenged, but seals were found that validated his existenceMeer informatie

Hezekiah Tunnel and Pools of Siloam
28 mei 2023, Palestina ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Hezekiah Tunnel - As the Bible tells us, the 533-meter-long tunnel was dug by King Hezekiah so that he could fortify the city against the invading Assyrian armies without compromising its main water source, the Gihon Spring

Very cool walk, about 20 min, with very cold water about shin-deep that we waded through the whole time

We had to wear headlamps - pitch black otherwise

Underground tunnel Hezekiah used to route water to city underground for protection

Ends at pools of siloam

Pools of Siloam - Pool of Siloam was the starting point for pilgrims who made the annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and where they ascended by foot to the inner court of the Temple Mount to bring an offertory to the Temple Court. According to the Bible, the man was undergoing ritual immersion in the Siloam Pool for entry into the Temple compound, and Jesus used the occasion to cure his blindness

purification for Jews before going to temple

This sits on layers upon layers of rebuilds across Jerusalem

John 9

blind man

they asked who sinned - his mother or father

When asked how he was healed, he said he doesn't know - he was blind adn now can see, which is all we need as our testimonyMeer informatie
