Is a trip to Israel on your bucket list?
If so, we have the trip for you. Rev. Dr. Eric Elnes is leading a trip to Israel and the Palestinian Territories November 3 through 16, 2019. This may be one of the most remarkable tours you will ever consider.
An ancient historian once wrote, “the land itself is the fifth gospel.” He saw the impact of ancient trade routes and crossroads upon Bible literature; how the land itself influenced people’s understanding of themselves, their relationship with others, and even their relationship with God.
Standing at breath-taking vistas, viewing ancient crossroads, walking ancient Bible paths that Jesus and the prophets knew provides an exciting step toward making the pieces of the Bible fit together. In Dr. Elnes’ words, visiting this land “turns reading the Bible into a 3-D experience for the rest of your life.”
Drawing on Dr. Elnes’ profound biblical and historical knowledge (Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Princeton Theological Seminary), as well as an in-country guide who is a legend among guides in Israel (Dr. Stephen Langfur), we will travel everywhere from the Dead Sea in the south to the town of Dan in the furthest north.
Along the way, we will focus on the center of Jesus’ public ministry around the regions and shores of the Sea of Galilee. We will sail the sea on a double scale replica of a fishing boat found in our lifetime on the northern shore. In Jerusalem we will sit on the Temple Steps in the Ophel Ridge and reconsider the Kingdom Parables of Jesus in Luke 19-21. One prominent Jewish scholar insists this is the one place where we may say with certainty that Jesus actually was and where He taught parables. We will walk on the ancient Herodian pavement that was familiar to Jesus, adjacent to the Western Wall. All this and much, much more!
Come, walk, and learn the land of the Bible with us.
