Trip to Israel Description: Visit the birthplace of Jesus in Nazareth; see where the battle of Armageddon will take place near Megiddo; cross over the Sea of Galilee where Jesus walked on the water. Take a drive on the coast of the Dead Sea; have lunch in Abraham's Tent and then effortlessly float in the salt concentrated waters of the Dead Sea. Jerusalem is the highlight of your trip, where you will see Golgotha near where Jesus was crucified, the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, the Mount of Olives, Hezekiah's Tunnel and even take part in a Seder meal. A trip to Israel allows you to experience just a taste of the Bible's richness and reality. You will never read your Bible in the same way again as you gain a fuller understanding from your Israel experience.
