This land is like no other on the earth.
I grew up reading the Bible. Its setting is this land and the areas surrounding it. In 1988 a dream came true for me. I set my feet in Jerusalem and walked all over the country of which it is the capital, Israel.
Since that time I have been back twice. It is a wonderful place to visit.
Jesus was born there, and lived there and died there.
He rose from the dead there and ascended back into heaven from there.
One day He will return there.

Israel is about the size of the State of New Jersey. This little country is the only land bridge between the continents of Africa, Europe and Asia. For Instance, a vehicle going from Brussels to South Africa would have to pass through Israel, as would one going from Egypt to China or from India to Paris.
Israel has mountains of all kinds, It borders the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea and the Jordan River. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth and the minerals in it are worth three trillion dollars.
It can be snowing in Jerusalem and you can drive a few hours to the Dead Sea where it can be 85 degrees. Due to incredible irrigation projects the government of Israel has made the desert bloom just as Isaiah prophesied it would.
