STUDY TOUR

ISRAEL

with Pastor Bud Wenzel

Sunday, June 3: depart USA on your flight to Israel.

Those from Seattle will take the included flight to LAX to

connect up with those from San Diego who will make their

way by land to LAX—from where all will fly non-stop to

Israel. Anyone wishing to join the group from other than

San Diego or Seattle should contact the tour operator.

Monday, June 4: after arriving in Israel at Ben Gurion

airport near Tel Aviv, meet guide Gilla Treibich and the

driver of our deluxe coach for brief sightseeing in the Tel

Aviv/Joppa area before going to our hotel on the shores of

the Mediterranean Sea. We have breakfast and dinner

daily in hotels.

Tuesday, June 5: we head up the Mediterranean coast

to Caesarea Maritime, the artificial harbor and city built by

Herod the Great. A restored Roman theater where proof

of the historical existence of Pontius Pilate was found is a

highlight at Caesarea, along with a Crusader fortress built

during an earlier war with Muslims and an aqueduct built

by Herod the Great. Continue north to Mt Carmel for a

breathtaking view of the Jezreel valley from the spot

where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal. Drive

through the lush valley to Megiddo, the always strategic

city in biblical history and biblical Armageddon (Rev.

16:16). Drive into the Galilee and visit Jesus’ boyhood city

of Nazareth. Check into our hotel for a three-night stay in

Tiberias, the modern capital of Galilee on the shore of the

Sea of Galilee.

Wednesday, June 6: sail on the Sea of Galilee in an

enlarged version of the boats used by Jesus and his

fishermen disciples, then study an actual boat from the time

of Jesus as

it was

discovered

on the floor

of the Sea of

Galilee. Re-

experience

the

challenging

and

comforting words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount at

the Mt of Beatitudes. At Capernaum, where Jesus based

his 18-month Galilean ministry, stand within the foundations

of the synagogue where He preached and healed and see

the house of Peter’s family where He stayed. For lunch,

you will have the opportunity to try St Peter’s Fish, the same

variety netted by the apostles. There will be an exciting

baptism ceremony during the day for those who desire to be

baptized in the Jordan River.

Thursday, June 7: traverse northern Israel today, including

Caesarea Philippi, center of Roman might and pagan

worship in Jesus’ time, where He challenged his disciples

then and now, “Who do men--and who do you--say that I

am?” Explore one example of that Roman might in the

recently-excavated Palace of Agrippa. Continue to the

northernmost city of biblical Israel, Dan, and see the

excavated gates that Abraham entered as he first

journeyed through the Promised Land. In the beautiful and

strategically-vital Golan Heights, guide Gilla Treibich will

comment on and analyze Israel’s modern-day political

struggles, including a look over into Syria and the

Damascus Road.

Friday, June 8: start heading south in the Jordan Valley,

stopping first at Bet Shean, where the bodies of King Saul

and his sons were hung by the Philistines. A Decapolis city

in Jesus’ day, Bet Shean was both destroyed and saved

by an earthquake, as archaeologists have now done a

fantastic job restoring the ruins. Stop at Gideon’s Spring,

where the Lord directed his Judge to winnow down Israel’s

army in a surprising fashion. While following the Jordan

Valley, speculate on the possible location of biblical Gilgal,

where Joshua and the tribes placed 12 stones in

celebration of their safe crossing of the Jordan; we may do

the same, in an act of solidarity with our biblical

ancestors. Before entering Jerusalem, drink in the

breathtaking views from a panoramic overlook and be

welcomed to the Holy City by a special Hebrew

ceremony.

Check into

your hotel

for the rest

of the trip.

Saturday,

June 9:

drive

through the

lunar

landscape of the Judean Wilderness on the way to the

Dead Sea, lowest spot on earth with water so salty you

cannot sink (bring a swimsuit if you want to try). Ascend

by cable car to Masada, the fortress-palace built by Herod

the Great, where zealous Jews resisted the might of Rome

after the destruction of the Temple. Visit the caves where

the Dead Sea Scrolls were found at Qumran. View the

date-palm oasis of En Gedi (where the hunted David

spared the life of vengeful King Saul) with a hike for those

who want to climb to the caves and the source of the

almost-miraculous spring in the heart of the Dead Sea

desert.

Sunday, June 10: begin your exploration of Jerusalem

with a special worship service on the very Southern Steps

to the Temple that Jesus taught on during the last days

before His Passion. Also see the remains of the Pinnacle

of the Temple cast to the ground when the Temple was

destroyed. Go UNDER the Temple Walls when you

explore the famous “Rabbi’s Tunnel.”

Pray at the Western (or Wailing) Wall. At the Israel

Museum, get an orientation to the city as it was in Jesus’

day at a huge and amazingly detailed outdoor scale model,

then study the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Shrine of the Book.

Monday, June 11: in Jerusalem, explore the “Burnt House”

(a wealthy Jewish family home destroyed when the Romans

burned the Temple in 70 A.D.). Wander the Jewish Quarter

of the Old City

including the

restored

Roman

shopping road

known as The

Cardo. Visit

our friend

Moshe at the

Shorashim

biblical gift

shop (he also gives marvelous talks on the Hebrew roots of

Christianity). Free time to explore the Old City, plus a

special shopping opportunity will be arranged for olive wood

carvings and jewelry crafted by artisans from Bethlehem.

Tuesday, June 12: explore Temple Mount, where the

temples of Solomon and Herod were located, now

dominated by a gold-domed Muslim mosque. Pray for the

health of loved ones at the healing Pools of Bethesda, then

worship in the acoustically-marvelous Crusader Church of

St Anne. Another miracle of healing was at the Pool of

Siloam, which you will explore, along with Hezekiah’s

Tunnel (those who wish to wade through the spring-filled

tunnel should bring a flashlight and wading shoes). The day

will also include an excursion down to bedrock for the

exciting recent discoveries about the origins of Jerusalem

when it was “The City of David.”

Wednesday, June 13: check out of the hotel late this

morning, then worship at the Upper Room before following

Jesus from the crest of the Mount of Olives down the Palm

Sunday path to the Garden of Gethsemane, then to the

House of Caiphas, where Peter denied his Lord and where

Jesus was held in a dungeon. In the narrow, winding

streets of the Old City, stand at the Lithostrotus, the

pavement where Jesus was tormented by the soldiers, then

follow traditional sites of His way to the cross. End this

glorious day at the hillside where nature has hollowed out

caves that indicate it could be Golgotha (“place of the skull”)

and celebrate Holy Communion in a beautiful private garden

with a gloriously empty tomb where the stone has been

rolled away. Dinner at a nice restaurant before heading to

the airport for the non-stop flight back to LAX, then on to

Seattle or San Diego on Thursday, June 14.

STUDY TOUR

ISRAEL

with Pastor Bud Wenzel

Sunday, June 3: Depart USA on your flight to Israel.

Those from Seattle will take the included flight to LAX to

connect up with those from San Diego who will make their

way by land to LAX—from where all will fly non-stop to

Israel. Anyone wishing to join the group from other than

San Diego or Seattle should contact the tour operator.

Monday, June 4: After arriving in Israel at Ben Gurion

airport near Tel Aviv, meet guide Gilla Treibich and the

driver of our deluxe coach for brief sightseeing in the Tel

Aviv/Joppa area. Then, proceed to our hotel on the shores

of the Mediterranean Sea. We have gourmet breakfast

and dinner daily in hotels.

Tuesday, June 5: We head up the Mediterranean coast

to Caesarea Maritime, the artificial harbor and city built by

Herod the Great. A restored Roman theater where proof

of the historical existence of Pontius Pilate was found is a

highlight at Caesarea, along with a Crusader fortress built

during an earlier war with Muslims. Also see an aqueduct

built by Herod the Great. Continue north to Mt Carmel for

a breathtaking view of the Jezreel valley from the spot

where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal. Drive

through the lush valley to Megiddo, the always strategic

city in biblical history and biblical Armageddon (Rev.

16:16). Drive into the Galilee and visit Jesus’ boyhood city

of Nazareth. Check into our hotel for a three-night stay in

Tiberias, the modern capital of Galilee on the shore of the

Sea of Galilee.

Wednesday, June 6: Sail on the Sea of Galilee in an

enlarged version of the boats used by Jesus and his

fishermen disciples. Then study an actual boat from the time

of Jesus as

it was

discovered

on the floor

of the Sea of

Galilee. Re-

experience

the

challenging

and

comforting words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount at

the Mt of Beatitudes. At Capernaum, where Jesus based

his 18-month Galilean ministry, stand within the foundations

of the synagogue where He preached and healed. See the

house of Peter’s family where He stayed. For lunch, you

will have the opportunity to try St Peter’s Fish, the same

variety netted by the apostles. There will be an exciting

baptism ceremony during the day for those who desire to be

baptized in the Jordan River.

Thursday, June 7: Traverse northern Israel today,

including Caesarea Philippi, center of Roman strength and

pagan worship in Jesus’ time. This is where He challenged

his disciples, “Who do men--and who do you--say that I

am?" Explore one example of Roman might in the recently-

excavated Palace of Agrippa. Continue to the northernmost

city of biblical Israel, Dan, and see the excavated gates that

Abraham entered as he first journeyed through the

Promised Land. In the beautiful and strategically-vital

Golan Heights, guide Gilla Treibich will comment on and

analyze Israel’s modern-day political struggles. Then, take

a breathtaking look into Syria and see the famous

Damascus Road.

Friday, June 8: Start heading south in the Jordan Valley,

stopping first at Bet Shean, where the bodies of King Saul

and his sons were hung by the Philistines. A Decapolis city

in Jesus’ day, Bet Shean was both destroyed and saved

by an earthquake. Archaeologists have done a fantastic

job restoring the ruins. Stop at Gideon’s Spring, where the

Lord directed his Judge to winnow down Israel’s army in a

surprising fashion. Here Pastor Bud will conduct some

fantastic teaching on surrendering our weaknesses and

relying on the strength of the Lord. While following the

Jordan Valley, speculate on the possible location of biblical

Gilgal, where Joshua and the tribes placed 12 stones in

celebration of their safe crossing of the Jordan; we will do

the same in remembrance of His blessings in our lives.

Before entering Jerusalem, drink in the breathtaking views

from a panoramic overlook and be welcomed to the Holy

City by a special Hebrew ceremony. Check into your hotel

for the rest of the trip.

Saturday, June 9: Drive through the lunar landscape of

the Judean Wilderness on the way to the Dead Sea,

lowest spot on

earth with

water so salty

you cannot

sink (bring a

swimsuit if you

want to try).

Ascend by

cable car to

Masada, the

fortress-palace built by Herod the Great, where zealous

Jews resisted the might of Rome after the destruction of

the Temple. Visit the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls

were found at Qumran. View the date-palm oasis of En

Gedi (where the hunted David spared the life of vengeful

King Saul) with a hike for those who want to climb to the

caves and the source of the almost-miraculous spring in

the heart of the Dead Sea desert.

Sunday, June 10: Begin your exploration of Jerusalem

with a special worship service on the very Southern Steps

of the Temple that Jesus taught on, and experience a

wondrous suprise that can only be seen while standing in

that very spot. Also see the remains of the Pinnacle of the

Temple. Go UNDER the Temple Walls when you explore

the famous “Rabbi’s Tunnel.”

Pray at the Western (or Wailing) Wall. At the Israel

Museum, get an orientation to the city as it was in Jesus’

day at a huge and amazingly detailed outdoor scale model,

then study the actual Dead Sea Scrolls at the Shrine of the

Book.

Monday, June 11: In Jerusalem, explore the “Burnt House”

(a wealthy Jewish family home destroyed when the Romans

burned the

Temple in 70

A.D.). Wander

the Jewish

Quarter of the

Old City. Visit

our friend

Moshe at the

Shorashim

biblical gift

shop (he also

gives marvelous talks on the Hebrew roots of Christianity).

Free time to explore the Old City, plus a special shopping

opportunity will be arranged for olive wood carvings and

jewelry crafted by artisans from Bethlehem.

Tuesday, June 12: Explore Temple Mount, where the

temples of Solomon and Herod were located. Here you can

walk on the most sacred spot on earth. Pray for the health

of loved ones at the healing Pools of Bethesda, then

worship in the acoustically-marvelous Crusader Church of

St Anne. Another miracle of healing was at the Pool of

Siloam, which you will explore, along with Hezekiah’s

Tunnel (those who wish to wade through the spring-filled

tunnel should bring a flashlight and wading shoes). The day

will also include an excursion down to bedrock for the

exciting recent discoveries about the origins of Jerusalem

when it was “The City of David.”

Wednesday, June 13: Check out of the hotel late this

morning, then worship at the Upper Room before following

Jesus's journey from the crest of the Mount of Olives down

the Palm Sunday path to the Garden of Gethsemane. Enjoy

an up close and personal view of the great Eastern (Golden)

Gate where Jesus is expected to return through. Then to the

House of Caiphas, where Peter denied his Lord and where

Jesus was held in a dungeon. In the narrow, winding

streets of the Old City, stand at the Lithostrotus, the

pavement where Jesus was tormented by the soldiers. End

this glorious day at the hillside called Golgotha (“place of the

skull”) and celebrate Holy Communion in a beautiful private

garden with an actual empty tomb where the stone has

been rolled away. Dinner at a nice restaurant before

heading to the airport for the non-stop flight back to LAX,

then, on to Seattle or San Diego on Thursday, June 14.
