#15 Connecting to the Land & the Bible — Interview with Richard Liverance

Jan 07, 2021 | Episode Guest: Rich Liverance

Richard Liverance is our featured guest on today's podcast. He is the Western Regional Marketing Director for the Israel Ministry of Tourism. Richard shares the story of how God led him to this position and his privileged role of connecting people to the Land of the Bible.

His favorite places in Israel include the Galilee region, Ein Gedi, and sites in the Shephelah such as Gezer, Azekah, and Bet Guvrin. Qasr el Yahud holds special meaning as it was the place where the Israelites crossed as well as where Christ was baptized. Richard even had the unique opportunity to see inside Jerusalem's Temple Mount (photos attached). Richard is also a featured participant in our Signature Tour promo video (see link). https://vimeo.com/304959706

Featured Site
Temple Mount

The present Temple Mount was constructed by Herod the Great beginning in 20 BC. Construction on it continued for 83 years until AD 64 when a halt was called to the project and 18,000 workers were laid off (riots resulted). The Temple Mount is 1/6 the size of today’s Old City and covers 35 acres. Construction of this rectangular platform required filling in a large part of the Central Valley.
