    Mount Nebo and the Basilica of Moses

    October 7 in Jordan

    Early morning start for a long day south.

    We head south west for under an hour to Mount Nebo, and the Basilica of Moses. The Basilica has a magnificent view over the Jordan Valley and the North end of the Dead Sea. Although hazy at this time in the morning, we can see the oasis town of Jericho and the place on the Jordan River were John did his baptisms.

    Mount Nebo is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land, and is where he died. No one knows precisely where. Although the Mount was inhabited far back, it was the Christians that built a church as a monument to Moses.Read more

    Berg Nebo, Jordanien

    October 23 in Jordan

    Der Berg Nebo (hebräisch הַר נְבוֹ Har Nəvō, arabisch جبل نيبو, Dschabal Nībū) im Gebirge Abǎrim liegt in Jordanien, er ist Ausläufer jenes Plateaus, das zum Toten Meer hin abfällt. Der Berg Nebo mit einer Höhe von 808 m bietet eine Aussicht in das Jordantal, auf das Tote Meer und nach Israel.
    Laut Deuteronomium ist der Berg Nebo jener Berg, von dem aus Mose das gelobte Land sehen durfte, aber sterben musste, ohne es selbst betreten zu haben. Die religiöse Bedeutung dieses Berges wurde von Papst Benedikt XVI. bei seiner Pilgerreise zu den Heiligen Stätten am 9. Mai 2009 auf folgende Weise beschrieben: „Von diesem heiligen Berg lenkt Mose unseren Blick […] auf die Erfüllung aller Verheißungen Gottes in Christus.“Read more

    Mt. Nebo

    Yesterday in Jordan

    After checking out, we leave Amman and our hotel at 8am. Tonight we will sleep in Petra, but we have lots of things to see on the way.

    The first stop is Mount Nebo, where Moses was shown the Holy Land before dying. The ruins on the mountain date back to over 3.000 years ago, before iron age. After a short walk through olive trees, we reach an impressive stone wheel. Apparently it was
    used as fortress door...
    The most spectacular part is however the panorama: the Jordanian desert is in front of us and stretches out as far as the eye can see. The sand in the air gives everything a golden touch that looks almost magical.

    We move further towards the top, where an even more spectacular view awaits us. We stand exactly in the point from where - according to the legend - Moses saw the Holy Land thousands of years ago: the Jordan River stretches from North to South flowing at the bottom of the Rift Valley all the way into the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth (450m below sea level!!!). On the other side of the river we can clearly see Jericho and not far behind there is Jerusalem. Israel is just at half an hour drive from us!

    On the top of the mount there are the remains of an ancient church, built in the 6th-7th century AD.
    The most spectacular part is inside: old columns and, above all, magnificent mosaics surprisingly well preserved.    Read more

    mount nebo, Bethany & river Jordan

    September 24, 2017 in Jordan

    I genuinely didn't appreciate the religious aspects of visiting Jordan until I took a trip to Mount nebo and Bethany.

    My guide for the day took me first to mount nebo, which is only a short journey from Madaba, but at Bethany he had to leave me at the visitor reception as all visitors had to take the site minibus to the various locations within the site.

    What did surprise me was the barbed wire and military presence in the region - but then again the river Jordan does form part of the border with Israel and when I went down to the river this was certainly made clear by the presence of the Jordanian soldiers with their 'no photo', stance.Read more

    Vrch Nebo

    November 22, 2017 in Jordan

    Cestou domov sme boli na hore Nebo, kde Mojžiš sa pozeral na úrodne miesto.

    Barani a capi (strohé poznámky z kázne):
    - Autorovi neide o vzťah k Bohu ale o vzťah k ľuďom. To čo je meradlom je človek.
    - V strede synagógy sa ma čítať Tóra. Božie slovo má byť v strede miestnosti (v srdci).
    - Šesť skutkov čo robia spravodliví s jednou výnimkou: navštívenie väzňa (je to hanba). Pri navštívení je priam pravidlo doniesť jedlo. Za koho sa hanbíme? Tí najmenší bratia, tí ktorí sú odsunutí zo spoločnosti, tí ktorých nemáme radi (bezdomovci...)
    - Je zaujímavé že druhá skupina nie sú zlorečení Otcom (nie je to opak predošlého). Boh ich nepreklína... Preklína ich vlastný egoizmus. Zlorečení skončia v ohni. V totálnej absolútnej deštrukcii - ktorá je pripravená pre diabla a pre jeho anjelov.
    - Ľudia sa chcú ospravedlniť: nikde sme ťa nevideli preto sme ti neposlúžili. Keď si si nevšimol núdzneho, zbytočne boli tvoje nábožnosti...
    - Ježiš nehovorí o omši, spovedi, ružencoch, deviatnikoch... hovorí o vzťahu Lásky.
    - Páchatelia neprávosti môžu to byť páchatelia zbytočnosti (koľko zbytočnosti cez deň vykonáme?) - Nepoznám vás! Preto je dobre si dať ráno otázku: prečo vlastne žijem? Načo som tu?
    - Musíme denne sa obrátiť. Apoštola Petra obráti pohan Kornélius. Nepotrebujeme nového pohana Kornélia (príchod utečencov do Európy) na obnovenie Cirkvi?

    - Najsvetlejší boj je pravdepodobne miesto, kde židovský národ sa zastavil a čakal na Mojžiša pred vstupom do zasľúbenej zeme...
