Continuing Our trek Around The City of Jerusalem

From Solomon's Quarries we continued to the Golden Gate and the Pinnacle of the Temple. Stopping on the way at St. Stephen's Gate, where we each got a bottle of cold water (1.5 liters). It was thirst quenching! I never have experienced thirst like this before. It is more of an inner thirst than just my mouth being dry. In John7.37-39, we read these words:"On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice,"If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.' By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not yet been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified." Being in Israel helps you experience the background of things that are written in the Word of God.
