We began at the Jerusalem overlook again today. Dr. Dukes shared the devotion today. We then proceeded to the location that is believed to have been where the Upper Room is located. There is strong evidence this was the right place.
Next, it was on to Peter at Gallicantu. This is the place where Peter denied Christ. It was also Caiaphas' palace. Jesus would have been tried and scourged there. We saw plausible locations where this could have occurred. Also we saw the actual road Jesus would have walked down after His trial.
Our next site was En Harim. This is where Elizabeth and Zechariah lived and John the Baptist would have been born.
We then proceeded to Nabi Samuel, the purported place of the tomb of Samuel. This is probably not true... but, it is the site of the ancient city of Mizpah. Mizpah is an ancient city from the time of the Judges. The view from the top of this mountain is spectacular.
Finally, we went to Mt. Scopes. It has an unbelievable view of the desert, Dead Sea, and even the mountains in Jordan. Another great day and it's back to the hotel.
