Monday, June 13, 1994, The Dead Sea

Today we traveled to En . It was a great trip. There are numerous biblical references to this oasis in the middle of the desert across from the Dead Sea.

It is most note able for the fact that David and his mighty men hid there while being hunted down by Saul.

What a beautiful place! Waterfalls, ferns, birds, wildlife, cool gentle breezes and all sorts of vegetation.

Solomon includes En Gedi in the Song of Solomon (1.14) "My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En-Gedi." Ezekiel, speaking of the millennium reign of Jesus Christ, speaks of a river running from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, obviously making the Dead Sea alive, fresh, and full of fish. "Fisherman will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets."
