Day 4

DAY 4 (FRIDAY JUNE 23)
Today we went into the old city of Jerusalem. We spent most of our time in the Jewish Quater. We sat on the southern steps where Peter preached his pentecostal message and thousands were baptized. We saw an ancient market place where people would have bought animals for their sacrifices.
We learned a lot of things about the Islamic religion and the spiritual warfare that is going on between them and the Jewish and christian people.
Then we went to the temple Institute where the Jewish people have made all the items needed to restore the third temple. They are just waiting for the right time.
We then saw the remains of Hezekiah's wall and the room that is commerative of the upper room.
We walked to St. Peters church where we could look out over the southern end of Jerusalem. There we could see potters field, the Hinnom valley, Mt. of Olives and the Kidron valley.
St Peters is where they belive Ciaphas lived and where Peter denied Jesus.
We then went back to the hotel where we had supper and got to meet a Christian family who has been in ministry in Israel for 51 years. What a blessing to hear from them and then be able to pray with them!
