  1. Pastor’s Holy Land Trip Day 3 - A Wednesday November 7th, 2012

  2. Galilee

  3. The Rift Valley • The Holy Land is literally torn in two. • A continental rift runs down the Sea of Galilee through the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, the Gulf of Aquaba, the Red Sea, and into Africa. • This rift means Galilee is 700 feet below sea level. Black volcanic rock abounds.

  4. The Sea of Galilee • The greatest depth is 150 feet deep. • It is 7 miles wide, 14 miles long. • In Hebrew, it is called Lake Kenneret (Harp). • The water is very clean. I took a swim in it. People say it is cold but I consider it warm according to Minnesota standards. • It is not a sea. It is below sea level, not salty, and not connected to an ocean.

  5. The Sea of Galilee • The temperature difference between Galilee and Jerusalem is typcially 10 – 12 degress. • While we were there, a cold front did come through just before we left for Jerusalem. Galilee was in the 90’s. Jerusalem was in the 60’s. • The altitude difference between the two is about 3400 feet.

  6. The Day began with a little cruise and devotion with two ships tied together in the lake.

  7. Ancient Tiberius would be to the left of modern Tiberius.

  8. Lutheran Hour speaker, Greg Seltz, leading devotions.

  9. So much happened in such a small area. Capernum Mount Beatitudes Feeding of 5000 Commissioning of Peter

  10. Beatitudes Capernum

  11. Ancient Magdela

  12. A second one.

  13. If I were to preach, I would look for natural auditorium.There is one. Do you see it?

  14. In my mind, look for Natural Arena. The Greek word for mount is oros. It means hilll or mount, not necessarily a great big mountain.

  15. With low lake levels, a 2,000 year old boat was discovered.
