WOW! What a journey to Jerusalem and beyond...........
Just returned from spending two weeks in Israel. The Bible has truly come alive in a way that I didn't expect. Walking in the steps of Jesus, seeing the Judean wilderness, the Mt. of Olives, the High Priest dungeon where Jesus was kept over night before His crucifixion, the Dead Sea, Meesada, Elat, to name a few places we visited was just wonderful. I felt God's presence here there and everywhere. Israel is truly God's land. The earth is His and everything in it, but Jerusalem is His very special city. So many people want Jerusalem as their own, but it doesn't belong to anyone but GOD. If we would all just do it GOD'S way I really feel we could attain peace.
I met so many different people along the way. I didn't keep a journal, maybe I should have but I pray that God will illuminate my mind and cause me to remember what He wants me to share.
Anyone who is serious about studying God's Word would be blessed to make a trip to Israel. Rami our tour guide was exceptional, besides being a believer he had his masters in Biblical Archeology. He made the land and the Word come alive. Always talking about his beautiful new wife, he was so in love, I felt his joy.
