13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him……
17 And behold, a voice from heaven said, This is My Son, My Beloved, in Whom I delight!
We came down from the Gailee to the River Jordan… PK had said anyone who wanted to be baptized in the Jordan could..
I felt that is what I was to do.. My hearts desire was to hear: “Behold, This is my Daughter, My Beloved, in whom I delight!”
Open up the heavens and let the revelation come to me… O, God, My Father…
Many signs repeating the same thing.. I think the same people went to all those places…
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed[d] in heaven.”
Statue of Peter..
Peter The Rock…
the Keys to the Kingdom…
59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.
Capernaum or Kefernhum is where the house of Simon Peter is and a place Jesus stayed and taught.
The temple is where the Spirit of the Lord rested upon Him.
I walked through the excavated temple and sat on stones… wondering to myself… is this where Jesus sat? Or was it here.
Is this the door He walked through? or was it this one… I marveled… I’m where He was… and I am listening for what He wants to teach me as I’m here…
Arrival at the town…
Gate to enter the town…
Plaque for the town…
Town Crest…loved this!
The Temple…
Temple Blueprint…
how it looks today from the outside…
Inside the temple…
Where the people gathered…
Perhaps a classroom where the children were taught and trained…
Doors in the temple… He walked through here….. I’m retracing His footsteps… Selah
Pillar extending towards heaven…
Love the sky…
John 21:6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish…
We went out on the Sea of Galilee worship boat. The “fisherman” was a messianic Jewish man who told us that he had his encounter with Jesus on the water… Just like Peter… Captain Dan has it on his heart to take Christians out on the Sea (or Lake Kineret as it is officially known in Israel) to spend time in worship… Worship takes place and is in Hebrew (His first language) and then English… It blesses all!
He shares a bit about himself, teaches the scriptures and then casts out a net… He explains that it is noted that 153 Fishes were caught in the net… Why???? 153 is the Hebrew Numerical value of the words:
“I AM GOD”
My journal on the boat, I wrote… AM I REALLY IN ISRAEL??? Truly it has not hit at this point… I am actually here…
Flag identifying the boat…
Bow of the boat…
Captain Dan casting the net… ahhh no, he did not catch anything this time…..
