Today was our last day of touring in Israel. I have mixed emotions as we wind down this study tour reflecting on all that we have learned in these last 9 days, while at the same time looking forward to taking what I have learned and experienced and put it into practice. I will now look at my study of...

The City of David, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, the Mount of Olives! Wow, what an incredible experience we had today. It is amazing that the people of those times had such engineering talent to be able to start at both ends of such a long tunnel and chisel their way to a meeting point underneath the city. Then...

Today was full of discovery and wonder! We started the day on the Temple Mount. What an interesting site! The architecture is incredible and being there, knowing this is the site where the Hebrew temples were located inspires a sense of awe. While we are impressed by the engineering and...

BETH SHEAN (alternative spelling Bét She’an) We kicked off today with one of the most impressive sites! A town in most of its Roman/pre-Roman glory. There aren’t words to describe the feeling of looking down upon the town in all of its fallen beauty. Samuel 31 references what happened...
Day 05 - Galilee: Katzrin (cultural experience), Mount Bental, Caesarea Philippi, Tel Dan
posted on Sunday March 20 2022 at 11:00 pm UTC
Another full day exploring various sites in Israel, expanding our knowledge of the Biblical culture and custom of the times, and connecting these thoughts to our reading of the Bible of these events. For me, this has been giving me a new perspective on these passages and a better understanding...

What at absolutely amazing day we had visiting a number of sites around the Sea of Galilee. Today’s focus was squarely on our Lord and Savior. We toured the northwest area of the sea and stood in the places that exemplified both His humanity and deity. Capernaum, Jesus’ chosen...

We started this day visiting Ein Gedi. A short distance down the road we came to Qumran. As we traveled north we pulled into an area of the Lower Jordan, where tradition holds as the place Jesus was baptized. This trip brings many thoughts and feelings to life. For me the same big picture idea keeps...
Day 02 - Negev: Masada, Bedouin Hospitality, Tel Arad, Dead Sea

There’s nothing like standing at the top of the world. While Masada is not the top of the world, it definitely felt like it! Our morning bus ride took us from hundreds of meters below sea level, through the mountains and to Masada. Located in southern Israel and surrounded by the desert, this cliff...
