In Jerusalem!

We pulled into Jerusalem just before sunset this evening.  Had time to pause at an overlook for a beautiful view of the old city then on to our hotel.  Nice accomodations at the Dan Boutique.  My room has a nice view of Mount Zion.  We'll start our day tomorrow by walking down the Mount of Olives to the Garden of Gethsemane.  Caiaphus' home and Bethlehem will make for a great day!

Today we looked over the Valley of Jezreel/"Armegeddon" from the ancient city of Megiddo, stopped on Mount Carmel to commemorate Elijah's contest with the prophets of Baal and just had a short visit in Caesarea before being chased out by the Sabbath Police.  I was bummed out about it because it was not yet 3 oclock.  But we still had a great day.

Saw the water source of Megiddo and was reminded how Satan wants to cut us off from our Source and destroy--just like the ancients did in attacking a city:  cut off their water source and the outcome was shure.  Looked over "Armegeddon" and marveled how Jesus will return, not as a man, but as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, to triumph over His enemies.  I will choose to profess this great reality now instead of being forced to recognize this truth after it is too late!
