Sea of Galilee

The Spring of Harod

A split screen image taken at the spring of Harod in the Jezreel valley. It was here that Gideon, at the Lord's direction, thinned out his army from 32,000 to a mere 300 men, in order to defeat the Midianite hordes who had invaded Israel. (You can read how the 300 pulled that off in Judges 7.) The final selection process required the men to drink from this spring. Those who knelt down to the water to drink, as Thaxter demonstrates on the left, were sent home from the battle. The three hundred men who "lapped" the water by bringing it up to their mouths with their hands, as David demonstrates on the right, were chosen by God to deliver Israel.

Along the Wall of the Old City

Doug Seaton, who has been "pumped" about this tour all along, rests for a moment at the base of the old city of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Tomb

Doug Seaton sits atop the rolling stone of a tomb that may have been like the one in which Jesus was buried.
