Rev. Hombre Liggett by Sea of Gallilee

The Rev. Hombre Liggett by the Sea of Galilee. It is mentioned in The Bible by 3 other names: The Sea of Kinnereth (or Chinnereth), The Sea of Tiberias.and The Lake of Gennesareth.

Much of the ministry of Jesus Christ, and numerous of His miracles took place in the area of the Sea of Galilee.

From the fishermen of the Sea of Galilee came at least four of The Twelve Apostles - Peter, Andrew, James and John. Jesus stilled the raging storm on the Sea of Galilee that was about to swamp their boat. Jesus, and Peter to a limited extent, walked on the water there. Near its shores Jesus fed the five thousand men, women and children from the miraculous multiplication of five loaves of bread and two fish. Mary of Magdala, the first human to see and speak with the Savior after His resurrection, was from the town of Magdala on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.

Look on any map of Israel and the Sea of Galilee is difficult to miss. It's the large body of water in Galilee, in the northern part of the land of Israel, directly east of Mount Carmel. Damascus is to the northeast, the valley of Armageddon is to the southwest.

The other photos are from Jerusalem

Hombre sends photos from Jerusalem

The Rev. Hombre Liggett sent back a couple of photos from Jerusalem. One is the Gate Beautiful where Peter and John healed a crippled beggar (See Acts 3: 2-10) and the other is of a rabbi at the Wailing Wall.

Here is Hombre’s note to his mother.

Hello mom,

I love you so very much. I am rather emotional. Yesterday we walked around Old City Jerusalem. I was at King David's grave, the gate called Beautiful, the Wailing Wall, the Mount of Olives...and the list goes on an on.

I did include a picture of the wailing wall when I email Marci. I will include a picture with this email of the Gate called Beautiful. This is where Peter and John healed the crippled begger, and another picture of a Jewish Rabbi at the wailing wall.

I love you.
