Day 3

Today was interesting day as always ☺

We left hotel at 8 am and drove to Philip’s Caesarea where Jesus was with His disciples before resurrection. On that place He blessed Peter. And after this Jesus went to Tabor.

Can't believe how many days He spent to get to the Tabor. We drove around 1 or more. And when we saw this Tabor Mountain, it’s hard to go up by foot. Can you imagine that Jesus did this way and came up on the mountain and then He started to pray. Now I can understand why Jesus’ disciples fell asleep after the way. But Jesus had strength to pray. It’s unbelievable.

On Tabor Jesus transfigured. It’s a high mountain and very beautiful few from it to one and another side of the mountain. We made pause and read about transfiguration and prayed that God gives up this opportunity to be there. And then we started to move and sing the famous Russian Baptist hymn about Tabor mountain.
Yesterday we spent time at the fall near Caesarea. It’s awesome. Clean water, great view and shadow. God is a great Creator!

On the way we were told about different facts and history moments.
It was interesting to hear about shofar. It’s interesting that this instrument has different sound and each sound has their own meaning.
First Tkea – it’s long lingering sound – you proclaim, who God is and that He’s a Kind on the Throne.
Second – Shvarim – it’s 3 deep moan or breathe. You continue to think about God and check your self, may be you did something wrong.
Third – Troa – it’s short sound, like an alarm clock. It’s kind of waking up sound. If you sleep spiritually, this sound will awake you.
Last one – Tkea – you confirm that God is King and you check yourself. And you glorified God.
This Shofar sound repeats several time and with different combination. Shofar – it’s proclaiming God and checking your self.

In the evening we had opportunity to see musical fountain. I like shows like this. It showed Biblical pics and great music.
Praise God for one more day!
