Five Pictures of Ancient #Israel #snrtg

Hippodrome at Caesaria Philippi
This is the horse racing track at Caesaria Philippi, the ancient Roman capital of Judea. When we read in Acts about Paul being brought before Governor Felix for trial, this was the town.
1st century Galilean fishing boat
This real, original fishing boat from Jesus time was excavated near the Sea of Galilee. There’s no way to say if he actually rode in this boat or not, but it’s almost certain that he looked upon it.
Seat of Moses
Synagogues have a “Seat of Moses,” where the Rabbi often sits. When a visiting Rabbi comes from far away, it’s common to offer him the seat of Moses. We know from the Bible that Jesus visited the town of Korazim. This is the Seat of Moses in the Korazim synagogue. (Actually an exact replica, the real one is in the Israel Museum). So, as a visiting Rabbi in the Korazim synagogue, they would likely have offered him their seat of Moses. It’s very likely Jesus sat here.
Cave where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found
This is the cave where a shepherd accidentally discovered the oldest known copies of the Bible.
The Garden Tomb
This is one candidate — the minority opinion among scholars — for where Jesus was entombed and resurrected.
