Here We Are in Israel

A BLOG POST BY PASTOR PAUL

We left home at 9:00am on Tuesday, March 2nd and arrived in Tel Aviv Israel at 5:00pm their time on the 3rd. We traveled 25 hours in the last day, I don't know just how that is possible.

The modern city of Tel Aviv is connected to the ancient city of "Joppa" or as the bible calls it, "Joffa". This is the place where Peter was up on the roof of a friend's house and had the angel visit with the clean and unclean food, and God told him to not call anything that He made unclean. This prepared Peter for the next day when a Gentile named Cornelius asked him to come to his house and preach the gospel. This was also the port that King Solomon used to ship the cedar in from Lebanon for the Temple, Jonah left from here when he was trying to run from God. This Port is still a vital part of Israel History. We are all overwhelmed with the idea that we are truly in the same place where our lord walked and talked and tonight we prayed in one of the same cities that Jesus prayed in. Tomorrow we go to Cana, how exciting is that?
