The White Words
Day 4 in Israel
"God fully revealed the Truth we must know and believe to the Servant He chose to most greatly suffer." Walking in his well-worn paths this day is overwhelming. The beauty these people sought smacks so much like our day, our times. Yet they missed the most Beautiful One of all. The King of Kings was not honored on the ancient expensive Beit She-An city. lined with marble and mosaic floors and walls and towering Roman columns. Today it lies in expansive archeological ruins. Saul was killed and hung on the hilltop. I climbed up that hill----gives you chills to see the spot.
Armageddon---a dreadful word. The Valley of Megiddo holds such significance as the Last Battle between Good and Evil will be fought here. Rev. 16:16. Seeing the past, experiencing the present, beholding the future.
Joppa...home of the beautiful Tabitha. Peter brought her back to life. Oh my goodness. We stood at the home of Simon the Tanner. It is an amazing thing to experience the black words of Scripture and the white words of Scripture---all those gaps, all those blanks that we must fill in and live. Truly live!

Bev,
I am picturing all of this as I read your posts because I, too, just saw it. In fact, I have been posting pics over at The Point for all of this week. Hope you share some pictures too.
Oh, be sure, be sure and go check out the Jerusalem Prayer Center. I posted about it on 11/14/10. Bev, it is a beautiful place that will put the cherry on the top of an already wonderful trip. It is not far from the Old City on a side street near the Olive Tree Hotel. 35 Nablus Road. DO NOT MISS IT!! The tour guide probably will not know about it, but you need to experience it.
