Migdal synagogue

Magdala is a small town, not very far from Capernaum, named for the fish towers it had, which were used to dry and preserve fish from the sea of Galilee.

It is possible that this is the city named "magadan" in Matthew 15:39, called magdala in some of the ancient texts, although the translators balance the textual evidence in favor of "magadan" being the correct reading, which could refer to the same or a different place.
Mark 8:10 mentions "dalmanutha," which could be from the name "magdala nunayya."

The biggest biblical reference is Mary Magdalene, which would mean Mary of magdala, like how Jesus was called a Nazarene.

Because of how close this town is to Capernaum, Jesus probably would have had opportunity to speak in the synagogue during his ministry.

Ten years ago a hotel excavation discovered a synagogue here from the time of Jesus. It is one of very few synagogue ruins found from the second Temple period. It also includes the oldest menorah carving found, on the pulpit that scripture would have been read from. Probably it was carved by someone who had seen the menorah in the Temple intact with his own eyes.

This is the stone with the menorah carving. Out tour guide is on the left.

 Here is a scene from the back of the synagogue ruins.
Here is the church built on the site, to give you an idea of what the churches look like.

Bethlehem

We got to go to Bethlehem and see the cave that is the traditional birth place of Jesus. There are a couple of churches over the cave, and one side had about to hours of waiting, so we went to the other side instead. This meant we didn't see the exact spot that was marked in the cave a free hundred years after Jesus was born, but just the other half of the cave. Here is a view in the cave. It was crowded on this side as well, but no wait. Of course it just looks like a cave with walls in it, but Jesus may have been born in this room, before the walls were there, and then put in the manger on the other side of one wall.

The garden tomb

Image
The cornerstone of the Christian faith is a real Jesus, truly man and truly God, the son of God. He lived a real life and he died a real death. His death took the place of my death and paid the price for my sins. Soldiers took him to a place called the skull and killed him. A follower took him to a nearby tomb and buried him. Three days later he rose and left am empty tomb. The possible place of the skull, where Jesus was crucified. The possible tomb where the body of Jesus was placed. Nearby we had communion and remembered the death of Jesus. What an incredible day.

Megiddo, the Tel and the valley

Image
We stopped at Megiddo, an ancient city that had gone through many periods of settlement and destruction. Each new settlement would build on top of the ruins from before. This became a city on a man made hill. Two significant events from the Bible are located at this site. 2 Kings 23 tells how the good King Josiah went out to battle against the  Pharaoh Necho and was killed at Megiddo, a terrible battle against the good King of God's people. In Revelation 16, perhaps as a reflection on the defeat of Josiah, there is the gathering of nations for war at the place in Hebrew called Armageddon. Very likely this is Har Megiddo, mount Megiddo.  Here is the tunnel of the well at Megiddo. They have a deep pit that goes to this tunnel to bring water to the city. Part of the ruins.
