Day 6 Biblelands tour

Day 6
Bet She'an. Archaeological site mentioned in Joshua 17, Judges 1:27-28,1 Kings 4:12,1 Chronicles 7:29
Drove for an hour, at times only metres from the border of Jordan. Quite bizarre for an Australian in an island nation without this type of border.. It felt like we could just about pole vault into another country..if it wasn't so heavily patrolled. Also driving through the West Bank, Judea and Samaria, so often reported about on the news, and the often incongruous biblical scenes like shepherds on donkeys with their flocks
Shiloh.. Where Joshua divided the land after the wilderness wandering. It was one of the main centres of Israelite worship by virtue of the presence of the tabernacle and the Ark of the covenant, until it was moved in battle, the place Samuel grew up.
Our first glimpse of Jerusalem, as our bus belted out an emotional rendition of The Holy City. A stop at the Mt of Olives looking across the Kidron Valley to the old city of Jerusalem. Another moving moment as our group sang 'Pray for the peace of Jerusalem' Then onto our hotel inside the walls of the Old City.. Very special ❤️Les mer
