Yesterday we went to two of the cities of the ancient Decapolis (10 city confederation in ancient Middle East), where Jesus sent his disciples (and visited Himself). In the region of the Gadarenes (near the Sea of Galilee) we went to Gadera, where he delivered the man who lived in the cave (photo at rt) in the graveyard from demons, who went into the swine and over the cliff (Mark 5). We found the cave in the graveyard where he lived and stood at the cliff where the swine went over (and don't say "someone had deviled ham that day" -lol).
Photo to the left shows me in front of the cliff with the Sea of Galilee in the background.Then we went to Jerash (below), one of the largest of the cities of the Decapolis.
Today in Amman (ancient Philadelphia) we saw the 3,000-year-old wall still standing from when King David took the city, having Uriah the Hittite killed so he could be with his wife, Bathsheba. This all really makes the Bible come alive with new meaning. I'll keep everyone posted here with new material & photos.
