Day 15 of Trip to Israel

This would be our last day of touring. Here are some t-shirt ideas that have been going around:

"I ran where Jesus walked."
"We did in 7 days what Jesus did in 3 years.

The sunrise coming over the Sea of Galilee













This is the site where it is believed Mary, the mother of Jesus, received the visit from the angel, Gabriel. The Greeks believe this is the site, while the Catholics have another site for it.






























Pastor Jack arranged a worship service for us at Mt. Carmel Assembly, the largest Christian congregation in Israel. Here they minister to Jewish people, Arabs, Sudanese refugees, and a host of others.















After the time of worship and testimony, the pastors in our group came to bless the staff of this church.













This is how the overhead appears for a worship song - many languages.













This is a great picture - a Sudanese mom and daughter sitting right by a Jewish girl. This is a partial picture of what it's going to be like in heaven when all nations gather together in Him.













Our tour guide diverted our bus towards this replica of an empty tomb. He wanted us to see what the round stone covering would've looked like in Jesus' day.













Tel Megiddo or better known as Armageddon. Armageddon comes from "Har Meggido" or the hill/mountain of Megiddo as mentioned in Rev. 16:16. "Tel" means a hill that has had civilization after civilization built upon it. Therefore at Megiddo, they have had at least 20 civilizations built there.













A model of the city as it was during the days of King Solomon.













This sacrificial altar was used by pagan societies as a place to sacrifice children.













Here, they have found a stable. It is a horse's troff like this that Jesus may have been born in down in Bethlehem.













The view of the plains of Megiddo. It is here that a cataclysmic battle will take place.

The national park at Caesarea. This Caesarea is also known as Caesarea Marina, not to be confused with Caesarea Philippi which we went to the other day. It is here that Romans events happened.













This may be the place mentioned in Acts 25:23 as Paul the Apostle stood before Agrippa.
