After a walk and breakfast, we began our day by driving to an overlook of the city of Nazereth. The old city of Nazareth was nothing to behold. There are no ruins or anything like that to look at.
But the view from this overlook was spectacular of the Jezreel Valley.
Our next stop was the nearby city of Sepphoris. Jesus probably came to this city with his father when he was a young man to do carpentry work. Sepphoris is not mentioned in the Bible, which is surprising, because it was a pretty large city. We saw many ruins there.
An awesome site today was Megiddo. Megiddo was the site of many Old Testament events. Josiah's death happened on a field we looked on today. Megiddo overlooks the valley of Armageddon, where the last battle of Revelation occurs. Pics on FB.
Next it was off to Ein Harod. This is the spot that has the actual brook that God used to shrink Gideon's army down to 300 men. Again, pic on FB.
Last, we went to Beit She'an. This place has some of the best preserved ruins from around the time of Jesus. We had devotional in a Roman theater that would has seated about 7,000 people. Awesome.
Will be leaving our Gallilee hotel in the morning to go up to Jerusalem for the last of our trip. Good night!
