  • he Holy Land, or Israel, is a revered location for many faiths, especially Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Holy Land includes Jerusalem, the Western Wall, the Jordan River, the Mount of Olives, Bethlehem, Masada, and the Dome of the Rock. Visitors to the Holy Land explore the ancient towns and beautiful destinations such as Gethsemane, the Sea of Galilee, and the Dead Sea. Israel is called the Holy Land because it is the site of divine encounters between man and God and the land where Jesus lived, died, and rose again. The Holy Land is special to Christians because it is the historical region of Jesus’ birth, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection. It is also the birthplace of the church, the place where most of the Bible was written, and the location of many events in the Old and New Testaments. Many Christians visit the Holy Land to touch, see, and confirm what they read in the Bible. The Holy Land is where God revealed Himself to us in the Person of Jesus Christ and performed many miracles. It is also where Jesus will one day rule and reign. After God punishes Satan and his followers, “the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem” (Isaiah 24:23). In Judaism, Israel is more than the “Holy Land”; it is also the “Promised Land.” God promised this land to Abraham and his descendants, saying, “I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it” (Genesis 15:7; cf. verse 18). God’s promise of the land was repeated to Isaac (Genesis 26:3) and to Jacob (Genesis 28:13). The exodus of the Jews from Egypt under Moses’ leadership and their travel to Canaan was a fulfillment of God’s ancient covenant with them (Deuteronomy 19:89). It is the “land flowing with milk and honey” (Exodus 3:8). It is the land of King David, Joshua, Gideon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and many more biblical heroes. Many mitzvoth, or commands, given to the Israelites in the Torah can only be performed in the land of Israel. The prophet Joel relates a promise of the future blessings of Jerusalem: “I, the LORD your God, dwell in Zion, my holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy” (Joel 3:17). Muslims call the land of Israel the “Holy Land” based on a passage in the Quran in which Moses proclaims, “O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah hath assigned unto you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin” (Surah 5:21). Muslims usually call the land “blessed.” In Islam, Jerusalem also has significance. There Muhammed is said to have experienced the Isra and Mi’raj. Jerusalem is also the location of two of Islam’s holy buildings, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.. Jerusalem was Islam’s first qiblah (direction of prayer); however, Islamic prayers are now directed toward Mecca. The region referred to as “blessed” is interpreted differently by various Muslim scholars. The Baha’i religion also regards Israel as the Holy Land, and its two most important shrines are located there. Baha’i followers pilgrimage to the Mansion of the Bahji in Akko, the final resting place of Bahaullah, the founder of their religion. The Baha’i Gardens in Haifa contain the Shrine of Bab, who was a prophet respected in Baha’i, where the Bab’s remains are laid to rest and can be found on a hillside of terraced gardens.

  • What is the significance of Akeldama in the Bible?

    What is the significance of Akeldama in the Bible?
    2021/08/17
    Akeldama (also Akeldamach or Aceldama) means “Field of Blood” in Aramaic. Akeldama occurs once in the New Testament in Acts 1:19 and is the name given to the place where Judas died. Matthew refers to this field in the Greek as the “potter’s field.” According to Matthew 27:7, the priests used the money Judas threw in the temple before hanging himself to buy “the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.” Matthew also connects what occurred at Akeldama with prophecies from Jeremiah (Matthew 27:9–10). The fulfillment of the prophecy in Zechariah 11:13 is also explicitly connected to Akeldama, although Zechariah does not mention the Aramaic name: “And the LORD said to me, ‘Throw it to the potter’—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the LORD.” Tradition places Akeldama south of Jerusalem in the junction of the Valley of Hinnom and the Kidron Valley. This eastern part of the Valley of Hinnom was made famous by Judas (Matthew 27:3–10; Acts 1:16–19). The Hinnom Valley is also known as the Valley of Gehenna. In the Old Testament period, it was where some of the ancient Israelites “passed children through the fire” (sacrificed their children) to the Canaanite god Molech (2 Chronicles 28:3; 33:6; Jeremiah 7:31; 19:2–6). Later, the valley was used for incinerating the corpses of criminals and unclean animals and to burn garbage from the city. Due to these practices and the vivid imagery the place evoked, Jesus used Gehenna as a symbolic description of hell (Matthew 10:28; Mark 9:47–48). Today tombs and a large ruin that was once a charnel house can be found at Akeldama. The soil in the area contains a type of clay suitable for pottery, which is another reason it is designated as the “Potter’s Field.” Acts 1:19 refers to the field of Akeldama bought with Judas’s thirty pieces of silver. The verse says that everyone in Jerusalem called “that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.” At Akeldama, what Jesus stated about Judas became reality: “The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born” (Matthew 26:24). www.keithmuoki.com

  • What is the significance of Bethsaida in the Bible?

    What is the significance of Bethsaida in the Bible?
    2021/07/19
    Bethsaida was a small town in Galilee best known in the Bible as the birthplace of three of Jesus’ disciples: Phillip, Peter, and Andrew (John 1:44–45; 12:21). Some scholars suggest that there were two towns called Bethsaida during the time of Jesus, as two cities’ having the same or a similar name was common in those days. The Bethsaida most often referred to in Scripture was located near where the Jordan River flows into the Sea of Galilee on the north side of the sea. Bethsaida was the scene of several miracles, enough that Jesus could say, “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes” (Matthew 11:21). Bethsaida has come to represent those who have heard the gospel, understood God’s plan of salvation, and rejected it. Jesus implied that their eternal punishment would be harsher than that of those who did not have such a privilege (Matthew 11:22). One of those miracles performed in Bethsaida was the restoration of sight to a blind man (Mark 8:22–26). It is also likely that the feeding of the 5,000 took place near Bethsaida (Luke 9:10–17). It was also the site of one of Jesus’ most famous miracles: walking on water (Mark 6:45–52). He had sent His disciples on ahead on the Sea of Galilee toward Bethsaida while He spent some time in prayer. Late that night, a strong wind made rowing the boat difficult. In the midst of the disciples’ efforts to keep the boat afloat, they saw a figure coming toward them on top of the waves! They were terrified until Jesus got in the boat with them and the waves instantly calmed. It was on His way to Bethsaida that Jesus walked on water. Bethsaida is rarely mentioned after Jesus ascended into heaven. Most scholars believe that Bethsaida was renamed Julias (in honor of Augustus’s daughter) by Philip the tetrarch, grandson of Herod the Great, at some point during Jesus’ public ministry. However, all mention of the city disappeared by the second century, and only buried ruins remain. . . . . Keith believes that we are saved only once (Hebrews 9:12) by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) in the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross (John 19:30) and we can NOT lose our free (Romans 5:15) God-given Salvation (John 6:39). This is because our salvation is based purely on faith in the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and not on any of our fleshly works of righteousness (Titus 3:5-7). ………………………………………………………………………………… Please Subscribe, Like, Share & favorite our Videos and Podcasts: Our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/KeithMuoki/videos Spreaker Podcast Channel: https://www.spreaker.com/user/14810659 Our Website: https://keithmuoki.com/ ………………………………………………………………………………… Watch & Listen to More bible study videos & Podcasts from our other Channels: Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/keithmuoki01 Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/101uy9WzWYah/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/keithmuoki Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/keithmuoki Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/keithblackkenya Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/keithmuoki Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/31clxlnx72ssrgtquuiwq7ytml2e?si=a96c414059514a3a _______________________________________ SUPPORT OUR CHANNEL: If you want to get a step by step detail on how to be saved, or you'd like to know more about our ministry or support us, please check out the details in our website; https://keithmuoki.com/ …………………………………………………………………………………… ➤𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁: Email: keithmuoki@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/keith_muoki Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithmuoki/ Facebook Account: https://web.facebook.com/keithmuoki/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-muoki-4073a414a/ God bless you! ……………………………………………………………………………………….

  • What happened at the Pool of Siloam?

    What happened at the Pool of Siloam?
    2021/07/19
    The Pool of Siloam, also called the Pool of Shiloah (Isaiah 8:6), has a rich and storied history, which involves an ancient king of Judah, a famous sermon, and one of Christ’s great miracles. The word Siloam means “Sent” (John 9:7). Several rabbinic traditions identified the Pool of Siloam as the Messiah’s Pool. It was the only source of fresh water within the walls of ancient Jerusalem. The Pool of Siloam was built by King Hezekiah in the 8th century BC (2 Kings 20:20) in order to provide water to Jerusalem, even in the event that the city were besieged. The pool was fed by a tunnel Hezekiah cut through almost 2,000 feet of solid rock from the Gihon Spring, also called the Virgin’s Spring. The spring, which produced a flow of water about twice a day, was located on the east side of Jerusalem, outside of the wall and on a slope leading down to the Kidron Valley. Hezekiah’s Tunnel channeled the water from Gihon to the pool, located in the southeast part of the city in the Tyropoeon Valley. The original Pool of Siloam was about 53 feet long, 18 feet wide, and 19 feet deep and was made of part hewn rock and part masonry. Jerusalem and the Pool of Siloam were destroyed by the Babylonians about 600 BC. Seventy years later, Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, and part of the job was to repair the Pool of Siloam: “[Shallun son of Kol-Hozeh, ruler of the district of Mizpah] also repaired the wall of the Pool of Siloam, by the King’s Garden, as far as the steps going down from the City of David” (Nehemiah 3:15). During the reign of Herod the Great, improvements were made to the Pool of Siloam. The pool itself was enlarged, and a large arcade (a set of arches) was built around the pool. Another arcade divided the pool, probably to create separate areas for men and women. During this time, the poor and sick people would often come to the Pool of Siloam to bathe. But it is during the time of Christ that the Pool of Siloam finds its true significance. Because the pool was near the temple, its water was used for a special ceremony during the Feast of Tabernacles. Every morning during that joyful feast, a priest would take a golden vessel to the Pool of Siloam, fill it with water from the pool, and bring it back to the altar amid the shouts of the people. Then, as the crowd chanted the Hallel (Psalms 113—118), that priest poured out the water on the west side of the altar, and another priest poured a drink offering of wine on the east side of the altar. This ritual was probably to illustrate Isaiah 12:3, “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” However, on the eighth and final day of the feast, the ritual was not repeated. And that is exactly when Jesus chose to make a startling announcement: “On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them’” (John 7:37–38). On the one day of the feast when no water was poured, Jesus stood up and filled the gap. The “water” He offers (the Holy Spirit, verse 39) is better than the waters of Siloam. In offering the water of life, Jesus identified Himself with the rock in the wilderness that gave water to the Hebrews (see 1 Corinthians 10:4). In John 9, Jesus meets a man born blind. To show that He is indeed the “light of the world” (John 9:5), Jesus heals the man. But it is interesting how Jesus chose to heal him: “He spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. ‘Go,’ he told him, ‘wash in the Pool of Siloam’ (this word means ‘Sent’). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing” (John 9:6–7). So, the blind man was sent to a pool called “Sent” by the One who was Himself sent by God into the world (John 3:17; 10:36). The site of the original Pool of Siloam has been excavated, and there is still a pool there, but it is hardly the splendid place that it once...
