We arrived at the conference a day early for the pre-conference tour that involved the Israel/Jordan border, Mt. Arbel, Galilee, Capernaum, and Nazareth. We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words, so instead of writing thousands of words here are a few shots of what we saw...
Looking into the land of Israel from the highway separating Israel and Jordan. It's no wonder the Israelites didn't want to conquer this land...I mean, where's all the milk and honey?!
Standing on Mt. Arbel, with Upper Galilee down below.
Robert, Adrienne, Me, and Terry on Mt. Arbel, with the Sea of Galilee in the background.
Looking out across the Sea of Galilee during a boat ride...contemplating all the miracles that took place here, including Jesus and Peter walking on water (Matt. 14:22-33) and Jesus calming the storm (Matt. 8:23-27).
The temple in Capernaum where Jesus began his ministry, reading the Messianic prophecy from Isaiah 61.
The Apostle Peter's house in Capernaum, converted to a church in the latter part of the 1st century A.D.
Becoming friends with a donkey in Nazareth. Also, the site of the quote of the day..."That's a really nice donkey"...spoken by none other than myself.
Good times...a great day. The highlight of the day was definitely the view from the top of Mt. Arbel. From there, we could see the setting for nearly 2/3 of Jesus' entire ministry. Incredible...
