Jerusalem

A visit to Jerusalem is an opportunity to do a little playful name-dropping.

For instance, did you know that II Kings 20:20 runs underneath the city? As an added bonus, it surfaces right at John 9:7. It’s one of my favorite places to take guests, as long as you don’t mind getting your feet wet.

Then there’s Psalm 48:13, which gives you a bird’s-eye view of the city…

Old City walls

And I Kings 8:30, which (due to a trick in the ubiquitous limestone) is blindingly white in the midday sun, and gold as it sinks to rest.

Western Wall (of the NT Temple plaza)

And that is just the beginning…
