Day 4

Day 4. Old Testament walk this morning. Walked c. 1/3 mile in the tunnel Hezekiah built to bring water inside Jerusalem’s wall. Saw the excavated ruins of David’s palace and an original corner of Nehemiah’s wall. Attended a lecture this afternoon. Went to the west wall of the Temple Mount this evening and then went underground to look at more of the west Temple Mount wall that is not visible at ground level. Walked 6 1/2 miles today. Tomorrow we will focus on a New Testament Jerusalem walk.

Prayers along the western wall of the Temple Mount.
Underground tour of excavated west wall of the Temple Mount built by Herod the Great!
We walked c. 1/3 mile in the tunnel built by King Hezekiah to bring water from Gihon Spring inside Jerusalem’s walls. We walked in water the whole way.
We carried flash lights. I hit my head all the time because in most places I had to bend over to get through.
Original Hebrew inscription explaining the tunnel. They started on both ends and worked to the middle.
The circled red area marks what is an original corner to Nehemiah’s wall.
This is most likely the view David had from his palace on the north end of Jerusalem on the East hill.

The pool of Siloam – see what happened here in John 9.
