Herod\u2019s lighthouse once stood on this point. \u00a0(Wikimedia Commons)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
A very full day, I think.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We were up early, leaving\u00a0the Tel Aviv\/Yafo (= Jaffa or Joppa) area behind. \u00a0En route to Caesarea Maritima, I spoke about Peter\u2019s vision of the clean and unclean beasts in Joppa and the centurion Cornelius in Caesarea and his acceptance of the gospel. \u00a0Then we poked around Caesarea itself \u2014 at Herod\u2019s palace, where, decades later, Paul was given a hearing by Agrippa and Festus and appealed to Caesar; at the theater; at the beautiful hippodrome; and at the medieval (Crusader) city.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
From there, we drove to the traditional site of Elijah\u2019s contest with the priests of Baal atop Mount Carmel, with its magnificent view of the Jezreel Valley (Armageddon) and much of the rest of that region of Israel.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We then proceeded to Sepphoris, where (although it\u2019s not mentioned in the New Testament) I suspect that Jesus and his adoptive father, Joseph, worked as stone masons and contractors. \u00a0A wonderful site, on which I have a column forthcoming in the Deseret News<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
From there to Nazareth, where we visited the Church of the Annunciation and the so-called \u201csynagogue church\u201d and \u201cMount Precipice\u201d and enjoyed some exceptionally good baklava<\/em>, burma<\/em>, and kunafeh.<\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Driving through Cana of Galilee, we descended to our hotel in Tiberias.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I think that\u2019s everything.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I would expand on this some more, but I\u2019m deathly tired. \u00a0And I couldn\u2019t do it justice anyway.<\/p>\n
