Yeshua (Jesus Christ's Hebrew name) lived and died and rose again in the country of Israel about 2000 years ago. He will also return there in splendor as the King of Kings.
There were no cameras back when Yeshua walked the earth but maybe these photos of present day Israel will give you an idea about the Messiah's earthly homeland.
Yeshua was born in the little town of Bethlehem fulfilling the prophecy spoken by the prophet Micah. Of course, the town has grown since then! Many people visit Bethlehem from all over the world to see the place where the Messiah, the Savior was born.
Yeshua grew up as a boy in the town of Nazareth. fulfilling another prophecy.
Yeshua grew into adulthood. He began His public earthly ministry of teaching and healing after He was baptized by his cousin John the Baptist in the Jordan River.
Yeshua taught the people on the hillsides around the Sea of Galilee.
The hillsides around the Sea of Galilee are verdant green in the springtime.
This painting in the present day church at the Mount of Beatitudes shows Yahshua teaching the people.
