ISRAEL IS THE PROOF THAT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
The Lord chose the Land of Israel to bring forth a Nation for the World.
The Lord chose the people of Israel to bring forth the Word of God for the World.
The Lord chose the Messiah of Israel (the Lamb of God) to pay for the sins of the World.
Gen 12:1-3 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Bill Bunkley is a radio host from Tampa, Florida. Boaz Shalgi, EDITRAVEL-ISRAEL.COM, was our tour guide. I was privileged to be the guest speaker. 
We rehearse some of the stories that happened by the Sea of Galilee.
After a song, message, and a pledge to the United States flag, many enjoyed the Israeli dance on board the ship.
It is always pleasure to stand at the Western Wall which is right before the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.You can see how long the Eastern Wall is from this picture. The Western Wall is just as long but only a small portion is visible.
One of the greatest prophecies that is seldom noticed is the absence of the Temple. Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;
NOTICE: After the Babylon captivity, the people would return to rebuild the walls, city, and the sanctuary. When the Messiah (Christ) would come, he would be cut off (died) and then the temple would be destroyed again. Since the temple was rebuilt and destroyed again, the absence of the Temple proves that Christ was the Messiah.
This tunnel is North of the visible Western Wall. Can you believe, they have a hole where you can look down about 40 feet and see the actual marble foundation of Solomon's Temple base. Jewish people have placed prayers into the cracks of the stones for the coming of their Messiah.
Pool of Siloam remained in use during the time of Jesus. According to the Gospel
of John, Jesus sent "a man blind from birth" to the pool in order to
complete his healing. As a freshwater reservoir, the pool would have
been a major gathering place for ancient Jews making religious pilgrimages to the city. It was great to see the pool being excavated while we were there. This is where the blind man and the crippled man was healed. This is a new discovery.
We enjoyed gathering at the Northwest side of the Dead Sea where we were close to the Quran Caves.The Dead Sea Scrolls are ancient Jewish religious manuscripts discovered between 1946 and 1956 in these caves. Would you believe that some just had to climb all the way to the caves and then went inside? We had a tough group.
The real old Jericho Road is down behind my feet that ran between Jerusalem to the left and Jericho to the right. It was a narrow and dangerous road to travel. This would be where the story of the good Samaritan would have taken place.
With the help of Bill Bunkley, we baptized about 15 of our group. Three were those that trusted the Lord on this trip. This makes about 100 that I have been privileged to baptize in the Jordan River. 
We thank the Lord for giving us a great Jewish tour-guide in Boaz Shalgi, EDITRAVEL-ISRAEL.COM, We traveled the land of Israel in a brand new bus.
This is the place where we believe Christ was laid and rose again. Here the stone is not only rolled away but gone completely.
Boaz showed us a place on the side of a road where a stone was still at the place of a cave.
