"But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly country..." Hebrews 11:16
Site of 1947 discovery of scrolls at Qumran
The Mt. of Olives. Jerusalem in the background across the Kidron Valley.
From May 1-17, 2012, Susan and I will be in Israel and I will blog about our experiences on this page.
I will sign my blog post with "Maranatha!" That should be important to you! This was a term that first century Christians used with one another. It simply means ”our L-ord lives!” or “Our L-rd comes!” It is a powerful covenant on those who use it. An awesome responsibility to get it right!
Ancient olive trees of the Garden of Gethsemane.
Petra -- First look! Could this ancient site play a role in prophesy?
Kay Arthur "orients" the group, concerning Christ return. Looking across the Kidron Valley, we view the Eastern Gate from the Mount of Olives.
The Garden Tomb. One of two proposed sites for Christ burial. What's important, is not the location, but that the tomb is empty. Christ has risen! Our debt is paid!

Planning Israel 2018
by Lee Pinkard on 01/15/18
It has been a while since I posted. G
We have great memories of our last visit to the Holy Land. Actually it was the trip of a lifetime! So how do you top a visit like that? Well that is my objective. Susan and I are reviewing sites, seasons, timings such as how much time and priority. Free time is important to visit friends. Assessing what has changed and then looking for groups etc. Hopefully we will soon be posting and itinerary for Israel 2018!
Maranatha!
