Jarom in Jerusalem: Galilee- Day 10

Geez, I didn’t realize how long it would take to write this Blog. This is huge! Oh well. I’m doing this partly for myself, but also for all those who won’t get a chance to do all these neat things as well, including my parents and family! So ya’all better appreciate!

Day 10- Went to Corazim/ Corazin. This city was built up a ton when in AD 135 Hadrian told all the Jews they had to leave Judea after the Bar Kokba revolt, so the ruins there were from after Christ. Earlier, this, along with Bethsaida and Capernaum make the evangelical triangle where Christ did a lot of his miracles and preaching. Christ mentions these cities and says if the works done in them had been done in other gentile cities, those cities would have repented-> but Corazim and others did not. They found there in the synagogue “Moses’ seat” which before was though figurative but turns out was a literal seat also (see Matt 23:2).

After that we went to Sephoris, a city very close to Nazareth that was built up in Christ’s time and so Christ, as a builder, probably worked there with his dad. There we visited lots of old mosaics, as well as visited a museum. It was a pretty big and impressive city with a large Cardo (Roman street).

We visited a big old water system, then stopped by Acco or Acre where there are tons of stuff to do but we just visited Ruins of Crusader building and fortresses that had been filled in by Muslims and so were very preserved.

That night we had a campfire and a few of us did some skits, it was fun and our last night in the Galilee!

"Beam" in my own eye. From Christs' teaching to not point out a mote in your brother's eye when you have a beam in your own. Not a lot of wood so would have been made of stone. A mote is like a sliver size.
