Our Friends in Israel - Day 9, March 8, 2008





Their day is to begin with a visit to the citadel of Amman and a view of the ancient Philadelphia. After driving through the modern neighborhoods of the city, they will reach Mt. Nebo, from which Moses looked down to view the Promised Land.





They will continue on to Madaba, with its mosaic floor depicting the Holy Land in the sixth century.









This afternoon they are to cross the Jordan where Joshua led the people into the Promised Land.


They will end the day crossing part of the Wilderness of Judea.






On the way they will become acquainted with the Bedouin life.

And oh JOY - they will start ascending to the Golden City of the Mighty King - Where God has chosen to place His NAME - JERUSALEM.
