Israel Prophecy Tour Itinerary

Day One

You'll depart from the United States for your flight to Israel arriving at Ben Gurion Airport the next afternoon.

We will meet you and board our large air-conditioned bus to make a heartwarming trip up to Jerusalem. We will visit the shepherds fields, the Biblical location of the birth of Jesus, then we will make our way to the promenade for a magnificent panoramic view of both the Old City of Jerusalem and the New City. We will overnight in the first of the deluxe hotels.

Today we will visit Yad Vesham, the Holocaust Museum, which will make us aware of the persecution that has confronted the Jewish people over the centuries. At the Shrine of the Book, you will have opportunity to view the Dead Sea Scrolls. We will see the giant Menorah, the symbol of the state of Israel, as well as listen to an explanation of the Knesset, Israel’s Parliament. A visit to the Second Temple model will give the understanding of Jerusalem at the time of Christ. We will end this day by going to the Western Wall to watch the religious Jewish men and woman welcome in the “Queens Sabbath”.

Our Lord spent almost 30 years of His earthly life in the Galilee region and we plan to spend our day in this region tracing His footsteps, beginning at the city of Capernaum, the headquarters for the ministry of Jesus Christ. We'll visit Caesarea Philippi in the area where the transfiguration took place. Traveling through the Golan Heights we'll understand better the discussion going on between the Syrians and the Israelis. We'll have lunch on the Sea of Galilee; the menu will include St. Peter's fish. As we travel across the Sea of Galilee to Beth Saida on the "Jesus Boat" we'll study together the story of the feeding of the 5,000 and see the Mount of Beatitudes. Our day will end at the museum at Nof Ginnosar where the 2000-year-old Jesus boat is displayed.

We start this morning traveling through theJezreel Valley on our way to Megiddo. With Bible in hand we'll visualize the Battle of Armageddon. On the way we'll visit one of the most interesting archaeological digs in Israel, Beth She'an. Further down the Jordan Valley we come to Gilgal, the site where Joshua and the children of Israel first camped as they entered into the Promised Land. When we arrive at Jerusalem we will go directly to the Biblical Gardens for dinner, which will be a "Passover Seder" almost exactly like the one Jesus had with His disciples.

As we make our way through the Judean Desert to the Dead Sea, we'll stop at Qumran, the location of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. We will take a quick hike up to the waterfalls of En Gedi, where David hid from King Saul. A highlight of our trip will include a visit to Masada. The history of this magnificent fortress is moving. Make sure you have your bathing suit because just before returning to Jerusalem we'll take an opportunity to try and swim in the Dead Sea.

Early this morning we'll start on the Mount of Olives and make our way down to the Temple Mount walking the same route that Jesus would have taken on His Triumphal Entry. I will give you a 3rd Temple Seminar at the Temple Mount area, the site of the First and Second Temples. We'll visit a special section of the Western Wall, the location where Jewish men are studying in preparation to be Priests in the next Temple and the Temple Institute where they are preparing for the 3rd Temple. In the afternoon we will go to the Garden of Gethsemane, then stop at Pilate's Judgment Hall, walk the Via Delarosa and end our journey at the Garden Tomb.

In the morning we will cross the border into Jordan. This afternoon, we will go into Amman, the capital of modern day Jordan. Then we will travel the Desert Highway into Petra for an overnight.

What a thrilling day we will have as we make our way thru the Ciq - which is a narrow gorge - into the majestic city of Petra. Many Bible scholars believe this is the city that God has prepared to house the Jewish people during the coming Tribulation Period.

Our trip will take us, today, to Mt Nebo where God allowed Moses to view the Promise Land. It was somewhere in this area that Moses died, and Joshua took charge of the Israelites. We will see the location where the children of Israel crossed over into the Promised Land and where Elijah was caught up in a chariot of fire into heaven. Then we will visit the site on the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.

After a leisurely morning on the shores of the Dead Sea, we will depart from Jordan, back into Jerusalem for an afternoon of last minute sightseeing and shopping. After a nice meal and time of fellowship, it's off to the airport for your return trip back to the United States.

Arrive back in the United States.
