Pilgrimage To The Promised Land PDF Download

This book comes from a paper written to satisfy the requirement for the School of Prophets PhD course for a 21-Day Study Trip to Israel, Jordan (Petra), Turkey and Italy (Rome). The Bible is a book of places. Therefore, this review focuses on the places we visit, their Bible references and the impressions that were made on us. We'll never read the Bible, or listen to the news in Israel, the same way again, because we've been there and seen those places and can still picture them in our mind's eye every day. The tour iss presented through the lens of Bible Prophecy -- past present and future. This book has a similar view and uses the present tense, as a diary, describing the sights we see. The tour is led by Dr. Jimmy DeYoung as part of the PhD program of his School of Prophets, in conjunction with Louisiana Baptist University, from which Dr. DeYoung received his PhD. The book is organized by the ten most memorable events that we experience, each as a chapter, with other events, in time sequence, bridging between these ten chapters. Those ten events are:1. Bus into the city of Jerusalem, playing its song, The Holy City (Jerusalem)...2. Standing at the "tower of the flock" site, where the shepherds would find the baby Jesus, on the first evening in Israel.3. The length and width of the Jezreel/Jordan/Riff Valley.4. Where Jesus was baptized on the Jordan River.5. The Eastern Bridge from the Temple to the Mt. of Olives. 6. Swimming in the Dead and Red Seas.7. Eilat: viewing 4 countries while boating in the Red Sea.8. The size of the ruins of Ephesus and Laodicea.9. The Arch of Titus in Rome; the missing Temple menorah.10. Site of the False Church; where the Common Market agreement was signed - Rome Rising Major impressions of the trip through Israel, Jordan (Petra), Turkey (the 7 Churches of Revelation 2 & 3) and Italy (Rome Rising) are:o Reading the Bible will never be the same!o Seeing where Jesus was born, baptized, died and buried.o Walking the Via Dolorosa through the Old City; praying at the Wailing Wall.o Looking over the Jezreel Valley from Mt. Carmel, imagining a young Jesus there.o Standing on the Mount of Olives where Jesus will return; looking to the Eastern gate of the Temple Mount.o Climbing to the top row of the Ephesus amphitheater where Paul spoke.o Seeing the sources of the hot/cold waters into Laodicea.o Viewing the frescos of the sacking of Jerusalem in the Arch of Titus. o Sitting before the Vatican, in St. Peter's Square, contemplating the false church of Revelation 17 and viewing the site where the Common Market agreement (foreshadowing the European Union) was signed, the early signs of Rome Rising.
