Day 13 David's City (last day)

 





just for fun


there is a Canaanite tunnel
it's dry


we went to Hezekiah's tunnel



we got wet







in about 3 years you'll be able to walk up
the stairs of ascent to the temple
we could only walk a little bit because they had sewage
drainage issues


exhibit to show it used to have shops 
on the side of the street


artist rendering for how the street used to go up 
from the pool of Siloam


we take the street outside
pardes Rimonim, super steep street


and stairs
nothing in Jerusalem in level


the stairs of ascent come up close to Robinson's arch


there's 22 courses below grade
21 million stones in the platform
quarried 7 km away and they were fitted stones
most stones weigh 28 Tons


people came to the temple (the Father's house)
to be redeemed
to be reminded of Sinai
to again be renewed as a kingdom of priests


Tyropean street 
here too they excavated some of the shops


we get to the southern stairs
this is the likely place where the Holy Spirit 
was poured out on the people at Pentecost

at Pentecost the people become the bearers
of the presence of God
A kindom of priests


our final site


Accept the mission


stay dusty
follow so close to the Rabbi (Jesus)
that you are covered with his dust


those not from north Carolina or Ontario
