The city was fortified with double walls. • The walls were constructed of large stones at the base and mud bricks continuing upwards. • The exterior wall’s stone base was about 15 feet high (3 m.), and the mud-brick wall on top of it was another 20–25 feet tall (8 m.), for a total of around 40 feet (13 m.). • The inner wall was constructed the same way; only it rose even higher than the exterior wall for a total height of around 50 feet (15 m.).• The width of the walls were around 20 feet (6 m.) wide, and people lived in them (Josh. 2:15).• These double walls were enormous and overwhelming in size and strength. 5. Jericho was given by Marc Antony (Roman general under Julius Caesar) to Cleopatra (Pharaoh of Egypt) as a wedding gift in 36 BC.6. King Herod built a winter palace in Jericho around 20 BC and would later die there as well.7. During the Byzantine period, homes and churches were built in the area.8.

Sodom and Gomorrah are located around the eastern side of the Dead Sea.2. Gomorrah is located at the base of Masada, and Sodom is about 13 miles (20 km.) south of Gomorrah.3. Though the actual locations of the cities are somewhat disputed, the growing evidence reveals that the locations are quite certain. This evidence is provided in the following section.Historical Background1. Josephus, a historian writer during the time of Christ, said the ruins could still be clearly seen in his day.2. Archeologists have discovered around 1.5 million bodies in graves in these areas around Sodom and Gomorrah.3. There are a lot of brimstone (old name for sulfur) balls in these cities.4. This sulfur is unique and different from all other sulfur found in the world. It is around 90-95% pure.It is white, unlike any other place in the world.It is so pure you can light it on fire, and it burns a hot blue flame.These sulfur balls are not found between the cities.5. There is a lot of ash in these areas which fits the biblical narrative.2 Peter 2:6: And if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter.6. The material of these city formations is calcium sulfate, which is what limestone and sulfur become when heated. 7. The choice building material in Israel is limestone, so these cities fit the scientific evidence as well.8. There is a lot of charcoal layers found in the strata of these cities.9. The amount of ash, charcoal, and calcium sulfate reveals overwhelming evidence of extreme heat in these cities.10. There is also no geothermal activity in these areas to explain the ash, charcoal, and calcium sulfate.11. In addition, there are many unexplained shapes in these areas that look like buildings, Sphinxes, pyramids, and palaces.12. These cities existed around 4,000 years ago, so their remains would be difficult to distinguish. Plus, God destroyed and reduced them to ashes as well.13. These cities fit the location as described in the Bible.Genesis 13:10: Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere—this was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar [Zoar has been identified as being south of Sodom and Gomorrah].14. Because the Dead Sea basin used to be like the Garden of Eden, it was an extremely desirable climate that was great for agriculture and life in general. It was, therefore, a very populated area.15. The thought of God raining down fire and brimstone upon the cities and peoples in this area is staggering and gives me chills up and down my spine. This fire and brimstone were so hot and intense it destroyed everything in its wake.16. God also used Sodom and Gomorrah to refer to all of the cities of the Dead Sea basin.Places of Interest1.

For many years it was believed that the Israelites crossed the Suez finger of the Red Sea just southeast of what is now Cairo, Egypt. However, there are no deep bodies of water in these areas but just shallow marshes and lakes. For this reason, the biblical account of this astounding miracle has been attempted to be discredited or erased altogether by liberal scholars.2. Many recent archeologists and scholars now believe the Israelites crossed the Red Sea at the Aqaba finger of the Red Sea and that Mount Sinai is in Midian, which is part of modern-day Saudi Arabia. Historical Background1. God called Abraham and promised him He would make a great nation out of his offspring. Abraham obeyed and left everything to follow God.2. Abraham birthed Isaac, who birthed Jacob, who birthed 12 sons. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel.3. Jacob and his 12 sons moved to Egypt according to God’s sovereign plan (about 70–75 total people).4. The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt (30 years as free people under Joseph, and 400 years as slaves). During this time, they grew into a nation of around 2.5 to 3 million people.5. God performed a miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt by performing 10 amazing miracles. 6. The last miracle, known as the Passover, happened when God killed the firstborn of all the Egyptians who did not put the blood of a lamb over the doorposts of their homes.Places and things of Interest:Moses, Mount Sinai, Egypt, Goshen, Suez Finger of the Red Sea, Traditional Red Sea Crossing Place, Sinai Peninsula, Aqaba Finger of Red Sea, Nuweiba Beach, Saudi Arabia Beach, Red Sea Crossing, Elim, Caves of Jethro, Rephidim, Mount Horeb, Burning Bush, Exodus, Ten Commandments, Golden Calf, Altar of Moses, Israel, Sinai Peninsula, Well of Moses, Saudi Arabia, Al Bad, Exodus chapter one, Exodus chapter two, Exodus chapter 3, Exodus chapter 4, Exodus chapter 5, Exodus chapter 6, Exodus chapter 7, Exodus chapter 8, Exodus chapter 9, Exodus chapter 10, Exodus chapter 11, Exodus chapter 12, Exodus chapter 13, Exodus chapter 14, Exodus chapter 15, Exodus chapter 16, Exodus chapter 17, Exodus chapter 18, Exodus chapter 19, Exodus chapter 20Places of Interest1.

The deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt was done to show several deep theological truths.To show God’s power and glory (He is above all gods and is the only true God).To be a foreshadow of salvation and deliverance (God can save and deliver us as He did the Israelites).To teach His chosen people how to follow and obey Him.To show his power and glory to the other nations.2. The important thing to realize is that the location of the events of the Exodus, Red Sea crossing, and Mount Sinai are not the determining factor for whether the Bible is true or not. However, this evidence does strengthen our faith to know the events spoken of in Scripture are true and historical.3. The miracles surrounding the Exodus, Red Sea crossing, and Mount Sinai are some of the greatest miracles found in Scripture.4. All of this should inspire us to trust and obey God more fully.

Of all the stories in the Bible, Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood is one of the most controversial. Is it all true? Did it really happen? How did it happen? And if it’s true, is there evidence of the Flood and the existence of Noah’s Ark today?In this video, we’ll be looking at the overwhelming evidence that supports the location of Noah’s Ark. We’ll also end with a faith lesson about what God would desire for us to learn from this event. I really believe this video will be life-changing and transforming to your life. The Great Flood account is mentioned in writings, or oral traditions found all around the world. In fact, as mentioned, it’s referred to in around 200 accounts like the Gilgamesh Epic account. These flood legends are common across a wide range of cultures, extending back to shortly after the flood account. These accounts depict a flood, sometimes global in scale, usually sent by a deity or deities to destroy civilization as an act of divine judgment. They are found on virtually every continent and share very similar themes. This is so because Noah’s descendants stayed together until God confused their languages at the Tower of Babel, and they scattered as found in Genesis 11. Places of Interest at the Durupinar Site1. Noah’s Ark National Park – Located about 17 miles or 28 km. south of Mt. Ararat, about 260 miles or 450 km. west of the Caspian Sea, and about 200 miles or 9(320 km. east of the Black Sea.2.

OstraconThe names of the surrounding places affirm this site as Noah’s Ark location.• Village of the Eight – This village was named after Noah and his family that God saved from the Flood. It used to be called Kazan and today is called Goller.• Kargaconmaz – Means: The crow or bird won’t land. This refers to Noah letting birds out of the Ark to see if there was dry land.• Ziyaret Dagi – Means: To make a voluntary pilgrimage. This likely refers to the pilgrimage of Noah and his family aboard the Ark.• Uzengili Town – This was formerly called Mahser, which means: To be drawn out of the water or judgment day. The name Moses has the same root. In Genesis 10:30, it says regarding the descendants of Noah: Now their settlement extended from Mesha going toward Sephar, the hill country of the east. Mesha shares the same root word as Mahser.• Mahser Location – This has the same meaning as the town of Uzengili but is the location of the area.• Nasar – Means: To make a sacrifice. This likely refers to the sacrifices Noah made to God in worship after he and his family were saved from the Flood.• Yigityatagi – Means: Hero’s anchorage. This refers to the place where the drogue and anchor stones came to rest in this area of the mountains of Ararat.• Arz-zapt (Arzap) – Means: To capture the earth. In the Semitic version of Arz-zapt, which is Eretz-tsab, means: To cling to the earth. These names are linked to the place where the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. The name for this town today is Sagliksuyu and is where some drogue stones, the ruins of Noah’s house, and Noah’s altar are located.

It was here the Jews had their last stand against the Roman Empire. However, something tragic happened here. Instead of fighting the Romans, around 1000 of them committed massive suicide.

Masada is located at the Dead Sea's southern end, about 40 miles (64 km.) southeast of Jerusalem.2. It's a natural flat mountain that rises up from the valley floor some 1,000 ft. (305 m.). It's like a huge column with sheer cliffs on every side that makes it virtually unreachable.3. Ancient Gomorrah lies at the base of Masada and ancient Sodom is south of Masada about 14 miles (23 km).Historical Background Leading up to the Fall of Masada1. Masada was one of 3 fortified fortresses King Herod built for pleasure purposes and from which to protect his territories. He built Masada in about 24 BC.2. Masada was fortified with elaborate water cisterns fed by diverting water from the nearby mountains. It even had swimming pools and many of the luxuries life afforded at that time.3. Besides ample water storage, Masada had 15 food storehouses, enough for 10,000 people for 10 years.4. In 66 BC, events began to unfold in Israel that caused the Jews to rebel against Roman rule. 5. In 66-70 AD, when the nation was in revolt, Jewish Zealots who had fled from Jerusalem and the surrounding areas took the fortress of Masada from Roman occupation. They were national Freedom Fighters who opposed Roman rule. In their conquest, they gained possession of all the food and water stored at Masada. 6. Between 66–70 AD, Rome conquered all the northern cities of Israel.7. In 70 AD, under Titus's command, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in a bloody battle that lasted well over 4 months. 8. In 73 AD, there had amassed a total of 967 Jews, counting their families, at Masada. They were under the command of Eleazar Ben-Yair, a Jewish Zealot Freedom Fighter.9. After conquering Jerusalem and most of Israel, the Romans headed south to conquer the southern strongholds around the Dead Sea region and Masada.10. Masada was the last stronghold of the Israelites, and the Romans amassed their troops there in the fall of 73 AD.The Fall of Masada1. In 73 AD, the 10th Roman Army Legion, totaling around 8,000 soldiers and 6,000 Jewish slaves under Commander Silva, arrived at the base of Masada. 2. This Roman legion first built a wall around the base of Masada, much of it by using Jewish slave labor.3. Next, they built 8 camps around the mountain's base. The remains of most of these camps can still be seen today. Silva set up his headquarters at the northwest camp.4. After several months, the Romans decided to build a massive siege ramp out of dirt on the west side of Masada, using Israelite slave labor to help in the process.5. As the siege ramp grew closer to the top of Masada, the Romans primarily used Jewish slave labor so that their fellow Jews on Masada wouldn’t shoot arrows and throw spears at their own countrymen.6. After several months of building the siege ramp, the Romans finally reached the top of Masada and severely damaged the exterior wall.7. When the Jewish Zealots realized they were in grave danger of being conquered, they built another interior wall inside the exterior wall using wood beams from many of their buildings. 8. The Romans set this inner wall on fire and decided to attack the next morning.9. Eleazar Ben-Yair, the commander of the Zealots, gave an impassioned speech about how God had not created them to be slaves and about what would happen to them if they surrendered to the Romans. 10. In the synagogue, the men gathered for a special meeting and drew lots, picking out 10 courageous men who knew about killing and understood how to die. 11. Then, every father went home and killed their wives and children. 12. Then, all the men gathered again together, and 10 of these men in the group killed the remaining men. Then one man killed the other 9, and then the last man killed himself.13. On May 3, 74 AD, after 7 months or so of long battled weariness, the Romans entered the top of Masada and stood in awe-stricken silence as they beheld the mass suicide of the Jews before them. The Zealots chose to die by suicide rather than be conquered by the Romans to be abused or killed.

Masada was fortified with elaborate water cisterns fed by diverting water from the nearby mountains. It even had swimming pools and many of the luxuries life afforded at that time.3. Besides ample water storage, Masada had 15 food storehouses, enough for 10,000 people for 10 years.4. In 66 BC, events began to unfold in Israel that caused the Jews to rebel against Roman rule. 5. In 66-70 AD, when the nation was in revolt, Jewish Zealots who had fled from Jerusalem and the surrounding areas took the fortress of Masada from Roman occupation. They were national Freedom Fighters who opposed Roman rule. In their conquest, they gained possession of all the food and water stored at Masada. 6. Between 66–70 AD, Rome conquered all the northern cities of Israel.7. In 70 AD, under Titus's command, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in a bloody battle that lasted well over 4 months. 8. In 73 AD, there had amassed a total of 967 Jews, counting their families, at Masada. They were under the command of Eleazar Ben-Yair, a Jewish Zealot Freedom Fighter.9. After conquering Jerusalem and most of Israel, the Romans headed south to conquer the southern strongholds around the Dead Sea region and Masada.10. Masada was the last stronghold of the Israelites, and the Romans amassed their troops there in the fall of 73 AD.The Fall of Masada1. In 73 AD, the 10th Roman Army Legion, totaling around 8,000 soldiers and 6,000 Jewish slaves under Commander Silva, arrived at the base of Masada. 2. This Roman legion first built a wall around the base of Masada, much of it by using Jewish slave labor.3. Next, they built 8 camps around the mountain's base. The remains of most of these camps can still be seen today. Silva set up his headquarters at the northwest camp.4. After several months, the Romans decided to build a massive siege ramp out of dirt on the west side of Masada, using Israelite slave labor to help in the process.5. As the siege ramp grew closer to the top of Masada, the Romans primarily used Jewish slave labor so that their fellow Jews on Masada wouldn’t shoot arrows and throw spears at their own countrymen.6. After several months of building the siege ramp, the Romans finally reached the top of Masada and severely damaged the exterior wall.7. When the Jewish Zealots realized they were in grave danger of being conquered, they built another interior wall inside the exterior wall using wood beams from many of their buildings. 8. The Romans set this inner wall on fire and decided to attack the next morning.9. Eleazar Ben-Yair, the commander of the Zealots, gave an impassioned speech about how God had not created them to be slaves and about what would happen to them if they surrendered to the Romans. 10. In the synagogue, the men gathered for a special meeting and drew lots, picking out 10 courageous men who knew about killing and understood how to die. 11. Then, every father went home and killed their wives and children. 12. Then, all the men gathered again together, and 10 of these men in the group killed the remaining men. Then one man killed the other 9, and then the last man killed himself.13. On May 3, 74 AD, after 7 months or so of long battled weariness, the Romans entered the top of Masada and stood in awe-stricken silence as they beheld the mass suicide of the Jews before them. The Zealots chose to die by suicide rather than be conquered by the Romans to be abused or killed.

The Valley of Elah is about 15 miles (23 km.) west of Bethlehem and about 20 miles (32 km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea.2. It’s located on the western edge of the Judean lower hills and was an important travel route from the coastal cities up to the center of the land of Judah and its main cities of Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Hebron.3. It’s an undeveloped site that can be seen in its natural state. It has parking alongside Hwy 38.4. The Valley of Elah is best known for the epic battle between young David and the giant Goliath, a skilled veteran warrior. Historical Background1. The Philistines were a Canaanite people who inhabited Israel before the Israelites arrived. 2. The Israelites were unable to conquer them, and there were battles between the two nations for much of Israel’s history. 3. The Philistine’s stronghold was on the coastal plane in the Gaza area.4. They were powerful, cultured, and possessed iron. They were the high-tech people of the day and did all they could to prohibit Israel from gaining iron and access to their technology (1 Sam. 13:19). 5. They worshipped many false gods, among them was the worship of Baal.6. At this time in Israel’s history, the Philistines were attempting to push up through the Valley of Elah towards the heart of Judah. King Saul and his army engaged with the Philistines here to stop them.7. The battle was one of the most pivotal between the two nations with the loser agreeing to serve the winner. It was a “winner takes all” kind of battle.8. Later in King Saul’s life, he would be killed by the Philistines in the Gilboa area.9. David would eventually subdue the Philistines, and during the time of Solomon, there was peace between the two nations.10. David was probably around 16–18 years old when he fought Goliath. We'll see this as the story unfolds.Places of Interest1. Israelite Camp2. Philistine Camp at Ephes-dammin3. Valley of Elah4. Tel Azekah5. Tel Socoh (Socho)6. HaEla Stream (where David selected 5 smooth stones)7. Battle Location8. King David’s Palace (built when David became King as a memorial to his victory)Bible Passage: 1 Samuel 17:1–51Faith Lesson from the Valley of Elah1. The outcome of the battle was far more significant than we might realize. If the Israelites lost, they would become the servants of the Philistines. It was a “winner takes all” battle.2. David’s motivation in the battle was the glory of God and the protection of His name. “So that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel” (1 Sam. 17:46).3. During David’s youth as a shepherd, he developed many skills. He learned music, how to write, use a sling, how to fight to protect his sheep, and how to love the Lord and obey Him.4. God used David’s skill of using a sling, along with his love for the Lord, to defeat Goliath.5. The skills David developed as a youth he used throughout his life.

The Valley of Elah is about 15 miles (23 km.) west of Bethlehem and about 20 miles (32 km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea.2. It’s located on the western edge of the Judean lower hills and was an important travel route from the coastal cities up to the center of the land of Judah and its main cities of Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Hebron.3. It’s an undeveloped site that can be seen in its natural state. It has parking alongside Hwy 38.4. The Valley of Elah is best known for the epic battle between young David and the giant Goliath, a skilled veteran warrior. Historical Background1. The Philistines were a Canaanite people who inhabited Israel before the Israelites arrived. 2. The Israelites were unable to conquer them, and there were battles between the two nations for much of Israel’s history. 3. The Philistine’s stronghold was on the coastal plane in the Gaza area.4. They were powerful, cultured, and possessed iron. They were the high-tech people of the day and did all they could to prohibit Israel from gaining iron and access to their technology (1 Sam. 13:19). 5. They worshipped many false gods, among them was the worship of Baal.6. At this time in Israel’s history, the Philistines were attempting to push up through the Valley of Elah towards the heart of Judah. King Saul and his army engaged with the Philistines here to stop them.7. The battle was one of the most pivotal between the two nations with the loser agreeing to serve the winner. It was a “winner takes all” kind of battle.8. Later in King Saul’s life, he would be killed by the Philistines in the Gilboa area.9. David would eventually subdue the Philistines, and during the time of Solomon, there was peace between the two nations.10. David was probably around 16–18 years old when he fought Goliath. We'll see this as the story unfolds.Places of Interest1. Israelite Camp2. Philistine Camp at Ephes-dammin3. Valley of Elah4. Tel Azekah5. Tel Socoh (Socho)6.

The outcome of the battle was far more significant than we might realize. If the Israelites lost, they would become the servants of the Philistines. It was a “winner takes all” battle.2. David’s motivation in the battle was the glory of God and the protection of His name. “So that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel” (1 Sam. 17:46).3. During David’s youth as a shepherd, he developed many skills. He learned music, how to write, use a sling, how to fight to protect his sheep, and how to love the Lord and obey Him.4. God used David’s skill of using a sling, along with his love for the Lord, to defeat Goliath.5. The skills David developed as a youth he used throughout his life. He faithfully led the nation Israel, he instilled a love for the Lord in his kingdom, and he wrote many Psalms that were not only used in his day but throughout history to this day.6. David knew that it’s not the size of our weapons but the size of our faith in God that matters. He went into the battle full of faith, and confident God would give him the victory.7.

The miracles surrounding this story, and the new discoveries that have been found in the last 50 years, reveal that the Exodus, Red Sea Crossing and Mt. Sinai are much greater than most think. See this video to get the most accurate, and biblical analysis of these events. See places like Succoth, Elam, Wilderness of Sin, Nuweiba Port, Marah, Elim, Caves of Jethro, Rephidim, Altar of Jehovah Nissi, Altar of Moses, Altar of Aaron, Elijah's Cave, Mount Jebel al Lawz, and more.Location1. For many years it was believed that the Israelites crossed the Suez finger of the Red Sea just southeast of what is now Cairo, Egypt. However, there are no deep bodies of water in these areas but just shallow marshes and lakes. For this reason, the biblical account of this astounding miracle has been attempted to be discredited or erased altogether by liberal scholars.2. Many recent archeologists and scholars now believe the Israelites crossed the Red Sea at the Aqaba finger of the Red Sea and that Mount Sinai is in Midian, which is part of modern-day Saudi Arabia. Historical Background1. God called Abraham and promised him He would make a great nation out of his offspring. Abraham obeyed and left everything to follow God.2. Abraham birthed Isaac, who birthed Jacob, who birthed 12 sons. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel.3. Jacob and his 12 sons moved to Egypt according to God’s sovereign plan (about 70–75 total people).4. The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt (30 years as free people under Joseph, and 400 years as slaves). During this time, they grew into a nation of around 2.5 to 3 million people.5. God performed a miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt by performing 10 amazing miracles. 6. The last miracle, known as the Passover, happened when God killed the firstborn of all the Egyptians who did not put the blood of a lamb over the doorposts of their homes.Places and things of Interest:Moses, Mount Sinai, Egypt, Goshen, Suez Finger of the Red Sea, Traditional Red Sea Crossing Place, Sinai Peninsula, Aqaba Finger of Red Sea, Nuweiba Beach, Saudi Arabia Beach, Red Sea Crossing, Elim, Caves of Jethro, Rephidim, Mount Horeb, Burning Bush, Exodus, Ten Commandments, Golden Calf, Altar of Moses, Israel, Sinai Peninsula, Well of Moses, Saudi Arabia, Al Bad, Exodus chapter one, Exodus chapter two, Exodus chapter 3, Exodus chapter 4, Exodus chapter 5, Exodus chapter 6, Exodus chapter 7, Exodus chapter 8, Exodus chapter 9, Exodus chapter 10, Exodus chapter 11, Exodus chapter 12, Exodus chapter 13, Exodus chapter 14, Exodus chapter 15, Exodus chapter 16, Exodus chapter 17, Exodus chapter 18, Exodus chapter 19, Exodus chapter 20Places of Interest1.

The deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt was done to show several deep theological truths.To show God’s power and glory (He is above all gods and is the only true God).To be a foreshadow of salvation and deliverance (God can save and deliver us as He did the Israelites).To teach His chosen people how to follow and obey Him.To show his power and glory to the other nations.2. The important thing to realize is that the location of the events of the Exodus, Red Sea crossing, and Mount Sinai are not the determining factor for whether the Bible is true or not. However, this evidence does strengthen our faith to know the events spoken of in Scripture are true and historical.3. The miracles surrounding the Exodus, Red Sea crossing, and Mount Sinai are some of the greatest miracles found in Scripture.4. All of this should inspire us to trust and obey God more fully.

It’s located in the center of several main crossroads between the Jordan Valley and the Jezreel (Yizreel) Valley.3. It’s about 15 miles (25 km.) south of the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee and about 35 miles (55 km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea.4. It’s located on the Harod Stream, which provides it with much water. This Harod Stream is the same stream that originates at Harod Spring, just west of here (15 miles or 20 km.) and is where Gideon chose 300 men under God’s command to defeat the Midianites and other armies.5. The main entrance faced the east, as did most other major cities and structures in ancient times. Historical Background1. Beth-Shean was a key city long before the arrival of the Israelites because of its location. In the late Canaanite period (1600–1400 BC), the Egyptians had political control over the land of Canaan.2. Later, around 1000 BC, the Philistines also ruled the city for a time because they hung the body of King Saul on its walls after defeating the armies of Israel in the Battle of Gilboa.3. When King David reigned (1010–970 BC), he conquered Beth-Shean, becoming part of Israel’s territories.4. Later, in 732 BC, the Assyrian king, Tiglath-Pileser III, destroyed Beth-Shean after defeating the northern Kingdom of Israel.5. In the 4th century BC, Hellenistic (Greek) new settlers established a city-state (polis) in Beth-Shean. During the Hellenistic period, the city was named Nisa Scythopolis.6. In 63 BC, the Romans conquered the City. It became one of the Decapolis, a group of cities with a Hellenistic-Roman cultural character, most of them in Transjordan. Beth-Shean was one of the key cities of the Roman Empire in this area south of Galilee.7. Beth-Shean was not far from Nazareth, and it’s very likely Jesus, as a young man, worked here with His father as a builder.8. Undoubtedly, Christ ministered here and walked by it regularly.9.
