Location
1. Jerusalem is in the central part of Israel about 33 miles (53 km.) east of Tel Aviv and the Mediterranean Sea.
2. It’s situated at an altitude of 2,600 ft. (800 m.) above sea level and one of the highest cities in Israel.
3. It’s located on a mountain that is well protected. For this reason, it was hard to capture by enemy forces.
4. Jerusalem rests primarily upon bedrock, so everything was well preserved.
5. Jerusalem is the Old Testament, Mount Moriah.
Historical Background
1. Jerusalem means “City of Peace.”
2. It’s mentioned over 500 times in the Bible.
3. It’s first mentioned as the city in which King Melchizedek, King of Salem (Jerusalem) lived (Gen. 14:17). Melchizedek was a figure of Christ as he had neither beginning of days or end of life.
Hebrews 7:1: For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.
4. Jerusalem is the special dwelling place of God on this earth.
Psalms 76:2: His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
Psalm 135:21: Praise be to the LORD from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
5. It was in Jerusalem, on Mount Moriah, that Abraham was to offer Isaac, his firstborn son to God, on the very place the temple would later be built.
Genesis 22:2: Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.”
6. Jerusalem was partially conquered by the Israelites when they entered the Promised Land.
7. King David purchased the original Temple Mount in Jerusalem from Araunah when it was just a threshing floor. He purchased it to build an altar to the Lord.
8. Jerusalem was then later fully conquered by King David.
9. Afterward, King David set up his throne in Jerusalem, and it became the ruling center of Israel from then on.
10. King Solomon then built the Temple in 960 AD on the exact location where Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac. This exact location was also the very threshing floor that King David had purchased.
2 Chronicles 3:1: Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father, David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.
11. And at the dedication of the temple Solomon built, the temple was so filled with the glory of God that the priest had to withdraw and suspend their dedication service.
1 Kings 8:10–11: When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD. 11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple.
12. Jerusalem became the center of worship in Israel.
13. The kings of Israel reigned from Jerusalem.
14. The prophets of Israel spoke and ministered in Jerusalem.
15. Unfortunately, the first temple built by Solomon was destroyed in 586 BC by Babylon because of God’s judgment on Israel for their disobedience to Him.
16. The altar and foundation of the second temple were built by Zerubbabel in 535 BC.
17. The construction of the second temple was carried on under Ezra’s leadership in 458 BC.
Ezra 6:3: In the first year of King Cyrus, the king issued a decree concerning the temple of God in Jerusalem: Let the temple be rebuilt as a place to present sacrifices, and let its foundations be laid.
18. Nehemiah then arrived to rebuild the city and walls of Jerusalem in 445 BC.
Nehemiah 2:17: Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.
19. The Temple Mount Platform was then later enlarged tremendously by King Herod in 19 BC.
20. On top of the Temple Mount Platform (and over the existing second temple, which was later removed) a new massive temple was built by King Herod in 19 BC and was made more beautiful than any before it.
Western Wall, Western Tunnels Overview Tour: Kotel, Jerusalem, Holiest Site in Judaism, Wailing Wall
See a complete overview of the Western Wall, Western Wall Tunnels, Kotel (Hebrew name), Western Wall Tour, Temple Mount Platform, Southern Stairs, Wailing Wall, and more in Jerusalem. A very biblical, in-depth look at the holiest site in Judaism.
Location
1. The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall (because the Jews weep here during their prayers) is located on the western side of the Temple Mount.
2. The Western Wall Tunnel is accessed on the northern side of the Western Wall Plaza and runs north to the end of the Temple Mount Platform.
Historical Background
1. When the Romans destroyed the temple in 70 AD, part of the western side of the Temple Mount Platform survived. For hundreds of years prior to 1967, people prayed in the small area of the wall that could be seen at that time. However, in 1967, following the Six-Day War, Israelis excavated below the ground level of the wall and found two more stone rows. They then cleared the area around the wall to create the Western Wall Plaza that visitors see today.
2. The Western Wall is part of the retaining wall, or support wall, that Herod the Great built in 19 BC when he enlarged the Temple Mount complex in order to accommodate a larger temple and Temple Mount area. It was a massive undertaking that required exceptional and sophisticated engineering.
3. Unlike many think, the Western Wall was not part of the wall of the temple King Herod Built.
Places of Interest
1. In the Western Wall Plaza area, a walkway bridge can be seen that tourist use to access the Temple Mount.
2. The Western Wall Plaza is divided into two sections: a men’s and a women’s section.
3. The area close to the wall is considered a synagogue, so men must wear a head covering when entering the men’s section.
4. Most Jews do not enter on the Temple Mount for fear of unknowingly walking in the place where the Holy of Holies might have been. Plus, Muslims do not want them entering there as well.
5. The Western Wall Plaza is the closest large public area to the temple and Holy of Holies for the Jews. Therefore, it is their most holy site.
6. On the northern side of the Western Wall is Wilson’s Arch, which is the modern name for a stone arch whose top is still visible today. It once supported a bridge that provided access to a gate that was level with the surface of the Temple Mount during the time of Jesus. Under this arch is a synagogue where Jews pray and read the Scriptures.
7. The Western Wall Plaza is only 10% of the entire western wall of the Temple Mount Platform. The majority of the wall is accessed by entering what is called “The Western Wall Tunnels.” We will see that part shortly.
8. The entire length of the Western Wall is 1,575 ft. long (480 m.), almost a third of a mile (.53 km.).
9. South of the Western Wall are stones that the Romans cast down when they destroyed the city in 70 AD. under the leadership of the Roman General, Titus.
10. The broken pavement of the street that the massive stones crushed when they fell is sobering to see.
11. Burn marks remain on some of the stones as a result of fire from the Roman conquest of the city in 70 AD.
12. There are remains of shops that were part of a large shopping plaza at the southern part of the Western Wall.
13. This is the same wall that Jesus and His disciples would have seen.
14. On the Southern Stair entrance to the temple is where Jesus would have taught His disciples and entered the Temple Mount area.
15. At the southernmost end of the Western Wall is a significant stone which stood upon the uttermost southwestern corner of the Temple Mount.
• It has words written in Hebrew that mean “The Trumpeter’s House.”
• A priest would stand at this corner announcing with a loud trumpet the beginning of the Sabbath, and other festival days the Jews celebrated.
Walking in Jerusalem (Israel / Palestine).
Jerusalem is a city in the Middle East, located on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Both Israel and the Palestinian Authority claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognized internationally

LIVE EVENT: Jerusalem in Bible Prophecy: Part 1 -'Israel's scattering, survival and regathering.'
Recorded Live at Nottingham University - What is it all about?
Nearly two thousand years ago the Jewish people were driven out of the land of Israel by the armies of the mighty Roman empire. The Jews were scattered throughout every country of the world. Whilst Jerusalem, their ancient capital city, stood neglected, the wandering Jews were subjected to persecution and even attempts to eradicate them from the face of the earth. Yet the Jews survived. In modern times the nation of Israel has been reborn against all the odds and amidst strong opposition from neighbouring countries. In 1967 they regained control over Jerusalem. Recently Donald Trump, the president of America, recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. International condemnation and even outrage followed. Protests took place around the world and in some places a “day of rage” was declared.
Why is Jerusalem such a problem? What is the secret of Israel’s success? Why has the nation of Israel come into existence in modern times? Why is Jerusalem such a “burdensome stone” for the nations of the world? We believe the Bible holds the answer. We invite you to come to two exciting Bible talks to discover the history of Jerusalem through the lens of the Bible. Discover how the Bible predicted, thousands of years in advance, the revival of the nation of Israel and the role that modern events will play in paving the way for the return of Jesus Christ to establish the Kingdom of God on the earth.

Read a variety of booklets on-line concerning various key Bible subjects.
Bible Truth & Prophecy is a remarkable on-line tool for establishing just how far removed from the teachings of the Bible mainstream Christian teaching has become.
End Time Prophecies are interpreted using the Bible, not man made ideas or notions.
Key Biblical subjects such as the Trinity, Devil/Satan worship, Holy Spirit Gifts & much more are all dealt with extensively from the Bible's viewpoint and not man's.We will demonstrate how Christian beliefs have become corrupted, and reveal the 'Truth' as taught by the 1st Century Apostles.
Capernaum, the town of Jesus
Kefar Nahum is the town which was the center of Jesus’ ministry in northern Galilee and the town of where Peter’s mother-in-law lived.
Located on the north-west side of the lake of Galilee, the ruins of Capernaum are divided into two sites: the Franciscan and the Greek Orthodox.
Unlike Jerusalem and other touristy ancient places in Israel, Capernaum seems to be untouched, still in its raw form. Just by walking here, and looking at the lake, the hills, the mountains, we felt connected to its history. It is as if we could almost see Jesus walking on these shores, looking at the same hills.
And besides the breathtaking nature, Capernaum has fascinating ruins. A 4th-century synagogue built on top of the original one where Jesus taught, a house which is believed to be the house of Simon Peter the apostle, and much more.
Join us in this episode as we explore this fascinating place.

Father, I believe Your Son, Yeshua/Jesus, came to the earth, died on the cross and shed His pure blood to redeem me from my sins; I believe in the Resurrection. I'm very sorry for my sins; I need your forgiveness. I ask you, Yeshua/Jesus, to be my Saviour and Lord. I Repent (turn away from) my sins and walk a new life with you. Thank you for the gift of Salvation. In Yeshua/Jesus name. Amen. *Get water baptized (Acts 2:38). This is where you need to seek the wisdom of Yeshua, because if you go to a church and they want you to attend indoctrination classes and ask you to sign a bunch of papers - RUN out of there!

The Western Wall (Wailing Wall) on Sukkot. Electrifying atmosphere. Jerusalem, Israel
Zahi Shaked A tour guide in Israel and his camera zahigo25@walla.com +972-54-6905522 tel סיור עם מורה הדרך ומדריך הטיולים צחי שקד 0546905522
My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
Why Israelis and Palestinians both claim Jerusalem
The U.S. embassy to Israel has moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Here's how this sacred city factors into a conflict 70 years old.
Subscribe to our channel!
When President Trump's administration announced the move in 2017, it also officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. And while Israeli leaders celebrated, Palestinians denounced the move.
That's because both Israelis and Palestinians consider Jerusalem as their rightful capital. Jerusalem is home to important holy sites for all the Abrahamic religions, and so it has become a critical bargaining chip in the ongoing discussion between the two sides.

ISRAEL: JERUSALEM: FEAST OF THE TABERNACLES CELEBRATION
Natural Sound
Little shacks are springing up all over Israel as Jews prepare to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
The holiday, also known as Sukkot, or the Feast of Booths, begins on Friday at sundown.
The huts are to remind Jews of the temporary houses their Biblical ancestors had to use during the 40-year exodus from Egypt to the promised land.
During the week-long feast, many Israelis eat, pray and even sleep in the huts which their children often decorate.
Israelis are carrying out the last preparations for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot (suh-KOHT') on Friday.
Sukkot, or the Feast of the Tabernacles, is one of the more joyous holidays celebrated during the Jewish year.
Many Israelis, both religious and secular, build a sukkah or hut of materials ranging from wood and palm branches to prefab metal and plastic.
The huts commemorate those erected by the ancient Israelites during their 40-year exodus from Egypt to the promised land in Biblical times.
Religious Jews sleep and pray in their sukkahs.
Whilst the more secular mainly use the structures for hearty celebratory meals - a traditional way of celebrating what is a harvest festival.
And people go to markets in order to buy a citron and a palm branch, which are both symbols of the Feast.
On Friday night they'll celebrate with festive meals served up in their hut-like structures which they've built on the balconies of their real homes and in their suburban backyards.
The festival lasts a week, but the main day of commemoration is from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday.
During this time shops, offices, restaurants and schools are closed.
