Israel History trip
Description
This class is an on-site study of the physical features of the land of the Bible, stressing geographical factors relating to both biblical and modern history. The scheduled trip is from Nov 8th to Nov 18th (10 days). Preparatory map study and class previews provide the background to a trip in the field. Relevant archeological, historical, and biblical material is correlated with sites, roads, and features in each area. Regions studied and visited include Galilee and sites in Capernaum, Mt. Carmel, and Narareth; Jordan and Jezreel Valleys with the site of Megiddo (Armageddon); Judah and sites like Gumran, Masada, the Dead Sea, and the Shepherd’s Field and Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem; Benjamin and sites in Jerusalem including the Western Wall, Mount of Olives, Garden of Gethsemane, Kidron Valley, Garden Tomb of Jesus, the Tower and Tomb of David on Mt. Zion, and Jericho; the Plain of Sharon and Caesarea; much more including a tour of biblical Jerusalem, with a visit to the Temple Mount, its tunnels, and the Temple Institute. In addition, from a ministry aspect, we will visit residents in Judea, attend churches in Bethlehem and Jerusalem, and see the headquarters of a former member of Arafat’s forces who now runs a Christian ministry.
