Gates of Hell

We're sitting here waiting to get on the plane in the Ben Hurion Airport in Tel Aviv and I realized how much stuff we have not had the chance to share yet. The trip was absolutely amazing.

I am going to keep posting the tours and pictures so you can check the site if you want to see the other pictures and posts.

On this day, we went to Caesarea Phillipi. This was in an area called Pan (named after the greek god....half man half goat...played the flute....thus the Pan flute....everything has a story). There were also many other greek idols there. This is an area that Christ stood with his disciples and is also where Jesus asked Peter "who do people say I am?" Read Matthew 16:19.

Anyway, greek mythodology believed that the gods entered Hades through a cave in the rocks there and thus this became known as the Gates of Hades....or the Gates of Hell. The picture of Dan and I is in front of the Gates of Hell. Not too often you get to do that.........literally anyway.

The rest of the day was spent in the Golan Heights. Alot of history of the wars in Israel are there. We could see into Syria and Jordan from there. We were close to the borders of each. Joel spoke there as well. Very, very interesting how important this peace of land is very Israel.

That's it for now. Post some more when we get back.
