- At the High Place of Lehi, the Philistines’ jaws drop as Samson finds relief.

Buy the full DVD set now.
Insights of the Day
- The Savior told a story of a Levite and a Priest, and of a Samaritan (who ended up extending himself past his ethnic identity, saving a life).
- With hope of higher life, the Essenes, consecrating their wealth, migrated to the Dead Sea wilderness.
- Learning of temples where the sacrifice of a lamb symbolizes the sacrifice of One bringing new life.
- Zealots at Masada ultimately sacrificed their lives in vain with real hope of redemption. (Ezekiel 37 was the only full chapter surviving Masada’s ruin. It contains a promise of the hope of redemption.)

Insights of the Day
- The Savior, at the Headwaters of the Jordan River, asked, “Whom do men say that I am?” . . . here he named Simon “Rocky” (Peter).
- The same water turning the millstones, grinding and producing bread, maintained life.
- The ‘Fountain of Living Waters”, bearing the weight of our millstones, gives us life.
- In Capernaum, where He performed most of his miracles, we learn of Jesus relieving the millstone of death, healing a family as “Talitha” arose.
- The Sea of Galilee, continuing to provide Israel with water, maintains life in the land.
- On the same water, the sinking Peter (Rock), crying “Lord save me,” learns that the “Rock of Salvation” came to save.

Insights of the Day
- The Savior, “passing through the midst of them”, taught us to walk in his light.
- A modern city rising on a dew-endowed Mount Carmel, becomes the resting place of Mormons and Bahais. Learn how the feelings of brotherhood can replace persecution.
- Almost” was not enough as Paul, teaching Herod Agrippa in Caesarea, challenges listeners to become like “I Am.”
- Jonah, avoiding the call to teach Gentiles, by escaping to Jaffa, sinks to new heights as the Lord brings him up from the depths of the sea.

“Jerusalem’s Holy Places” from the Israel Revealed video series by Daniel Rona.
Buy the full DVD set now.
Insights of the Day
- The Savior’s House, located on the Temple Mount (where Moslem worship patterns are witnessed today), causes one to ask, “Will He suddenly return home to the same place?”
- In the Israel Museum, ancient temple artifacts reflect the timeless eternity of worship practices.
- The Essenes’ Dead Sea Scrolls reveal a redesigned temple that includes the entire city of Jerusalem. Although they had an understanding of the signs of the seasons, they failed to recognize the Lord and the signs of his times.
- A view of a miniature city of 2000-years ago, revealing Jerusalem’s major impact on the world, also reminds us that from the City of Peace (Shalom) came His peace.
- Samson, from Bet Shemesh, a judge in Israel, misused his God-given strength. In crushing the Philistines, he worshiped himself.
- David’s childlike faith in the Lord brought down a giant with a sling and a stone.

Buy the full DVD set now.
Insights of the Day
- The Savior’s atonement (obscured by arguments over ownership of a Sepulcher) manifests itself in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.
- Destroyed by fire in the first century, the preserved and rebuilt ruins of the Holy City remind us of promised redemption.
- One discovers temple-like clothing and ritual celebration at the Western (Wailing) Wall.

I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked

The Hillsides of Bethlehem – An Upper Room – Mt. of Olives (account of Gethsemane) – Caiaphas’ Palace & Antonia Fortress (accounts of trial before Caiaphas & Pilate) – Place of a Skull (Golgotha) – The Garden Tomb (Death, Burial & Resurrection)
Where are the “Three Days and Three Nights” in the scriptures?
“The Footsteps of Jesus” from the Israel Revealed video series by Daniel Rona.
Buy the full DVD set now.
Insights of the Day
- Bethlehem hillsides with sheep and shepherds overshadow churches’ disputations of ownership of Jesus’ traditional birthplace. The loneliness, obscurity and difficulty of His birth are sweetly replaced with songs of Herald Angels.
- The Savior brought Lazarus out of a grave, causing a Bethany family to be reunited, helping us understand that families can be together forever!
- The symbolism of Passover rituals set the stage for understanding the Last Supper and the sacrament.
- The Mount of Olives, place of the Red heifer sacrifices, is where the Savior’s blood-stained atoning sacrifice occurred. He will return to this mount in red clothing.
- Walking ancient steps to Caiphas’ and Pontius Pilate’s palaces, reminds us of the mocking trials He endured.
- Remembering the reason He came, visualizing along the roadway, a visible place of execution. Close by, a Jewish Garden Tomb of the first century is empty, quietly reminding us that He lives. He suffered, died, and came alive again, preparing the way for us to be together with Him and our Father in Heaven.
Sat - Depart Israel
Depart Israel
Today we say SHALOM (the traditional ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ in Israel means PEACE). “May peace be with you,” and your family & friends always, as your Holy Land experience continues giving you eternal memories of the land, the people and the scriptures. For most, your airport shuttle transfers you to the Tel-Aviv airport for your scheduled Flight.
Optional Additional Programs, transfer to a Jordan River Crossing.
