Quick Note From Tiberias





Very tired. Didn't sleep well on the plane last night, and jumped on the tour bus straight from the airport. INCREDIBLE day, and to be frank, the stuff I'm more interested in comes later. Looking forward to all that God's going to do. Quick notes..


  • Hippodrome
  • Theatre – built by Herod the Great--Beautiful theater overlooking the Mediterranean. Saw the palace where Pontius Pilate lived.
  • Roman aqueduct--Incredible structure. Got to stick toes in the Mediterranean Sea
  • Drive to Muhraka (“burnt offering”) on Mt. Carmel with panoramic view of Plain of Jezreel (Esdraelon) Kings 18: confrontation between Elijzh and prophets of Baal--Overlooking Armageddon. Great teaching about the confrontation. Beautiful view from Mt. Carmel.
  • Cross country to Arbel cliff for view over Sea of Galilee--Can't even begin to describe this. Jen teared up. I was in awe. Overlooking Galilee, we were able to see several of the villages where Jesus ministered.
I'll try to write something more coherent tomorrow. Quick shot of ya boy Lou overlooking Galilee:
















We'll get some pics up in the next day or two.
