Excitement begins as we are in the Holy Land! We start with an exciting day of touring ahead of us. We meet our Israeli tour guide & bus driver & load onto our luxurious tour bus & leave the airport by 11:30 AM (hopefully earlier) & drive to archaeological site Lachish. Then we go across the country through the Negev desert to Beersheba: This is the capital of the Negev desert & one of the places Avraham lived (Gen 37:2). Ya‘akov (Jacob) also lived here & the Scriptures speaks of him twice leaving here for Haran & then to Egypt. Several Bible texts refer to it as the southernmost part of Israel (1 Sam 3:20). Masada: Time permitting we will travel to the top of Masada & the possible location of Sodom to feel the ashes & burnt sulfur rocks. Dead Sea: We end the day at our Dead Sea resort hotel & have time for a relaxing float in the Dead Sea, which is 3 times saltier than the ocean, an amazing experience. The salt water & medicinal mud will make you feel 30 years younger (don’t quote me on that). Delicious all you can eat dinner buffet: Vert Hotel on the Dead Sea

Wednesday - Masada, Sodom & Gomorrah, Ein Gedi, Qumran, Mt. Olives, Jerusalem, Ben Yehuda St

After a wonderful all you can eat Israeli buffet breakfast we will begin our travel from the lowest spot on earth, the Dead Sea, 1300 ft. below sea level, and make our way up to the highest spot (spiritually) on the earth – Jerusalem. Along the way we stop at Masada (if we did not visit the day before): ascending by cable car to the magnificent ruins of Herod’s desert fortress where from 70 to 73 AD Jewish zealots made their last stand in the Judean revolt against Rome. We see the remains of storehouses, cisterns and a synagogue. We proceed to Ein Gedi and walk the path to see the waterfall in the desert and take a swim in one of the pools where David camped out when hiding from King Saul. It is amazing to swim in the very same pool that David swam in over 3,000 years ago. We continue to Qumran where the Essenes wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls. We see the caves where God’s word was preserved for close to 2,000 years. As we drive past Jericho we recount the many Biblical events that took place there. We enter Jerusalem the Holy City and drive to the top of the Mt. of Olives where Y’shua made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey and where He later ascended into heaven. We take a moment to reflect back to that day and time while you gaze upon the panoramic view of the Holy City. The presence of God is all about, cast your eyes toward the Eastern Gate, and envision the triumphant return of our Lord in all His glory. arrive at our Leonardo Boutique Hotel in Jerusalem, for an all you can eat buffet dinner.

Thursday - City of David, Gihon Spring, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, Pool of Siloam, Southern Wall, Yad Vashem, Knesset, Mahaneh Yehuda Market, view of Bethlehem

Breakfast at the hotel. We start our day with a visit to the City of David. The story of the City of David began over 3,000 years ago, when King David left the city of Hebron & conquered the well fortified hilltop city known as Jebus. A tour through the City of David brings visitors face to face with the personalities & places of the Bible. We descend under the city of original Jerusalem to the Gihon Spring where Solomon was anointed as king. The Gihon Spring is the start of the amazing Hezekiah’s Tunnel, chiseled from each end through solid stone to protect Jerusalem’s water source. We walk through this amazing water source (ankle deep in cool fresh spring water) ending at the Pool of Siloam where a man blind from birth received his sight after Y’shua placed mud on his eyes. From there we cross the street to the Southern Wall. We then visit some of the mikvah pools that very possibly were used to immerse the three thousand people on Shavuot (Pentecost). We also see the remains of the ancient shops for buying & changing currencies. We walk on the steps that Y’shua would have used to enter the Temple area & would have taught from & where Peter & John prayed for a lame man to walk. Next we visit the Mahaneh Yehuda market in Jerusalem for some shopping & to experience life in Jerusalem today. We stop at Yad Vashem: The home for the Holocaust Martyrs & Heroes. While heading to our next destination we will pass by the Government Center & the Knesset – Israel’s Parliament. A View of Bethlehem – from Jerusalem. We look across the fields where the angels spoke to the shepherds announcing the Messiah’s birth & look toward Bethlehem the city of Naomi, Ruth, & Boaz as well as of the birth place of David & Y’shua.

We cross the Kidron Valley to the Garden of Gethsemane for prayer under the olive trees as the Lord did nearly 2,000 years ago. If possible we will participate in an archeological shift in search of ancient treasure. We continue following the last hours of Y’shua’s life by traveling to Golgotha, the hill of the scull where Y’shua was hung & to (Gordon’s) Garden Tomb where Y’shua was buried & resurrected. We end this powerful day with a walk through the Zion Gate into the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem. We stop & see a portion of the Broad Wall that Hezekiah built over 2,500 years ago. As we make our way to the Western Wall we see families preparing for the Shabbat. We come to the Western Wall while hundreds of worshippers are praying & dancing – an experience that makes the entire trip worth it. Dinner & Overnight: Leonardo Boutique Jerusalem

This is also the area where Eliyahu (Elijah) & Elisha struck the Jordan with their cloak & parted the waters so they could pass over on dry ground! Then northward along the Jordan River up towards Galilee. Gideon Springs: This spring is in the Jezreel Valley at the foot of Mt. Gilboa. This is where Gideon’s army was tested before their battle with the Midianites.

We walk down to the pier just outside our hotel & board our boat for a relaxing & spiritual sail across the beautiful Sea of Galilee as we recount the many miracles that happen on this very lake. Many people have found this to be the highlight of the tour. We land on the northern side of the lake at Capernaum where we have a mini worship service in a synagogue where Y’shua preached & healed. Then we to the Mount of Beatitudes where the Sermon on the Mount was given. We drive to Magdala, the place where Mary once lived to see some recent amazing archeological discoveries.

From there we go north to the most northern part of ancient Israel, Tel Dan: An ancient city & the source of one of the largest branches of the Jordan River. It is now located in 100 acres of a glorious nature reserve. The impressive walls of the ancient city from the time of Abraham still remain. Caesarea Philippi (Banyas) where Peter made his great profession of faith. We will visit the Banyas water fall & see how strong the headwaters of the Jordan river are.

From there we go to Gamla in the Golan Heights where we see the ruins of an ancient city destroyed during the first Jewish Revolt by the Romans in 67 AD. There are ruins of a synagogue that Yeshua more than likely taught in. Listen to the distant waterfalls & marvel at the large vultures & eagles that soar on the heights above. Dinner & Overnight: Caesar Hotel Tiberias. Spend the evening shopping in Tiberius or strolling along the Sea of Galilee.

Monday - Cana, Nazareth Village, Nazareth Cliff, Tel Megiddo, Mt. Carmel, Caesarea

Last sunrise & breakfast on the Sea of Galilee. Check out of the hotel. This morning we drive through Cana, (we just pause the bus & tell the story, we don’t even get out of the bus) the town where Y’shua preformed his first miracle at the wedding. We visit Nazareth Village: In this village we see a quarry, wine press, & grape tresses that date back to the time when Y’shua grew up here. We see houses, a synagogue, an olive press & a well built to look like it did 2,000 years ago. We see grape vines, olive trees, pomegranate trees, sheep, goats, rams, donkeys, & people dressed in the garments of 2,000 years ago.

From there we go to the Mediterranean coastal city of Caesarea, capital of the Roman procurators of Judea where Paul was tried in court before King Agrippa & Bernice & where Peter ministered to the first Gentile believer. Visit the Roman theater & coliseum plus the amazingly engineered aqueduct. From there we drive to the airport for our late-night flight back home. Most people will be arriving home on Tuesday depending on their destination. Or

Tuesday – Flights home

Fly home with memories that will last a life time & a Bible education more valuable than a four year seminary degree (my opinion).

Itinerary subject to change while touring for the best interest of the group.
