Mount of Beatitudes

This is where the famous Sermon on the Mount was carried out. Unfortunately didn't have a lot of photos coz mom and camera weren't best of friends.

but it was amazing. the accoustics were REALLY excellent. i mean, you've watched it on videos before, recordings, but to BE THERE and HEAR it for YOURSELF, truly it is amazing.

uncle sidney very cheeky, told the husbands to climb up to the top of the mount and SAY (not shout) "i love you, _____" to their wives. and hahaha.. very sweet lah, some of the guys.. :)

the slope was really rather steep. and filled with gravel. so it was even easier to slip, more dangerous. the ground below was huge, but they were growing some kind of plantation on it. so even if you go right into the plantation, you can still hear the person standing on the top of the slope. how beautifully God has arranged for this place for His beloved son. and for us. :)



Moshe shared with us some interesting points about the Feeding of 5000 and 4000.


Why 5000 - 12 baskets full, 4000 - 7 baskets full.

12 baskets were for Jews (12 tribes)
7 baskets for church (7 churches of the Gentiles)

more than enough for everyone! =D
