Thank you so much, for bringing these wonderful gifts to us, much love from UK.
My pleasure. Glad you liked it 😇
Are there plans to continue looking for the rest of the pools?
I have to comment on the pansies at the beginning of the video. They are gorgeous and much bigger than ours in the USA. They were my Dad's favorite.
Thanks!!!!!
What a great and informative video of "Pool Of Bethesda", Mr.Danny!
I'm really searching for a proper video about the "Bethesda" and this is what I'm looking for! Thanks!
My pleasure. Glad you like it 🙂
Thanks so much for another great video! We were there in 2005 on a christian tour with Perry Stone and have pictures of this place, but in this short video you covered the history & the area so much better! We did sing in the chapel you mentioned, which was amazing how long the sound would echo- what technology they knew back then. It is amazing how deep the site is and how much was built above it- you guys did so much to uncover it, truly amazing! Thanks again so much for these videos, it not only brings back so many memories, but also how much more you teach us. May our Lord bless you for what you are doing!
My pleasure. Glad you likee it! 🙂
You lucky… blessed also.
It's amazing all the history is in Israel. You can go down so deep through the layers of years, the Romans, the Jews, the Christians, the Crusaders, the Muslims over 2000yrs of treasures and so much still to discover and it's all tied to the bible.
I have stood at this church a half dozen times, I have never walked down into the pool areas! I love seeing the evidence of the corners and the steps! Wow! I must be honest, I have watched this video 5 times, due to all the learning on the pools! Thank you so much! And talking to the pigeons was hilarious!
HA HA HA ha ha.... pigeons.... your ancestors... :) Well, maybe we should bring it back... RENOVATE ALL AND LET JERUSALEM again be the Jerusalem of the Biblical TIMES !!!!!!! Amen !!!
Maybe thats why pigeons crap on our cars? revenge from what we did to them in antiquity? after all also pagans and Samaritans were routinly sacrificing pigeons.. 🙂
This is the first video I have seen upclose of the pool of Bethesda.
You are very well-informed with your facts which puts you way above other vloggers.
Your videos are also very crisp and clear.
Thank you, Danny. Stay safe and well.
My pleasure Jose. Glad you like it 🙂
Always appreciate your in-depth journeys. Concerning the pools , since they were basically stagnant and used for washing animals the possibility for contamination , bacteria and disease must have been great. The only anti-bacterial additive I can think of at that time would have been salt. The same would apply to Siloam Pool with thousands sharing a common non-running source of water. Is there any knowledge on how they addressed this issue?
Who told you the pools were non-running? Jews would need to meet the Torah standards of running water for purification.
I think there was a flow of water through the pool. I once filmed in the tunnel leading from the pool into the Temple Mount (not this time).
@@drelbez No one "told" me the water was non-running. At the 16 minute mark of this video Danny states that the pools were filled by the channeling of rain water. He has since answered my question that perhaps the pools were filled by a combination of rain water and a running water source. If you have more definitive information on this subject please share it with us.
Thank you brother in Christ for giving your time for our LORD YESHUA 🙏
Thanks so much for sharing With us. I love Israel 😇🇮🇱
Beautiful video WOW U really make it amazing mine blowing AWAY!!! Adonai bless u HERMANO SALUDES Y PAZ desde frontera del sir de N.M.❤🇮🇱❤🇺🇸🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👆
Danny....You do not understand what is being said by the phrase "Blind and the Lame" ....the Jebusites controlled Jerusalem at the time David became King of Israel and they did not believe David could take the city. So, they said to David "Except thou take away the blind and the lame: thinking David could not take the city. Of course, he did! Even offering the title of Chief and Captain to bravest men. The blind and the lame were no doubt Jebusites and by commandment of God should be totally destroyed, all of them!
Also 2 Sam chapter 5.
The presence of two pools with a substantial partition suggests they had different uses. Perhaps one was for worshipers and the other for preparing the sacrificial animals. Or possibly separate sides for men and women.
🤷♂️
Or maybe just for control of the water. Who knows.
Shalom and todah rabah from WEst Virginia, USA. Danny, it is a pleasure to hear you give archaeological comments throughout your videos. We have been to Jerusalem and walked past so many artifacts that we knew were important but we had no idea what we were truly looking at. Thank you! We are very interested in the pool of Bethesda because we follow the TV multiseries, The Chosen. In its second season, Jesus heals the lame man. And thank you for your scriptural reference to King David and how it relates to Jesus. I don’t think I would’ve ever put the two together. Keep on doing what you’re doing, brother. And thank you again!
My pleasure. Glad you likee it! 🙂
Very informative Danny, thanks from the UK.
I'm presently making a 3D model of Jerusalem (based on Ritmeyer and Bahat) at the time of Jesus and spent the last few days on Bethesda. Your explanation of the complex levels was excellent. My structures sit on a modern topographical landscape and it's a challenge to place them on the steep slopes. Bethesda's depth adds to the problems the builders must have encountered.
I love his videos
TODAY- *Zech.12:8note; chps.12+13!!... and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David, and the house of David shall be as God, "AS" the angel of the Lord before them. *Zech13:8note- the order is: (1) the Gathering of the Nations v2. The deliverance; (3) the return of Christ to the Mount of Olives, and the physical change of the scene v.4-8, (4) the setting up of the kingdom, and full earthly blessing---*14:9-11
In John11, where Lazarus was sleeping= fallen away, Jesus said. But they said, he was dead. (Rom.8:10- If Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin, but life because of righteousness!) *Isa.26:19- Thy dead men shall live together with my dead body shall they rise. Jer.23:5- Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise until David a righteous branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. (Luke1:69-71,today!) *Luke1:79- to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death to guide our feet into the way of peace.!!!!
Very informative and useful. Fr James Martin SJ also refers to this site in his recent book: Jesus : A Pilgrimage. NY Times best seller.
The Protoevangelium of James does not state where Mary was born. It states that, at the age of 3, she was taken up to the Temple where she would be raised by the priests, and I assume some others. At the age of 12 she was married to Joseph, a widower.
Hey Danny, does the LIDAR technology has been used at anytime in Israel? It's been used to detect thousands of Mayans sites at Guatemala's rainforest!
These sites are buried several feet underground. As you know, Mayans also built "in layers"...well, sort of!
When I king passed away, the "new" king or prince will built new pyramids on top of the old ones. Anyway, thanks to this LIDAR technology, they have been able to discover -literally- thousands of sites!
The technology is known, but there is an ownership issue with the site that prevents further research.
Wow! Action packed as well as traffic packed. You have so much information about this location I'll need to watch it a few more times. Thank you for the extra homework on this site Danny.
My pleasure broweser 🙂
Thanks alot Danny for visiting n sharing the indept knowledge n information about the biblical places...it takes us back in time where we can actually see the Bible comes alive rigth before our eyes...lot of love from India..
My pleasure. Glad you like it 🙂
Perhaps there were 2 pools. One to purify the animals and one to purify the people. ???
Israel is Rich in ancient traditions waiting to see the light to open all eyes in the latter days the whole world will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD
Shabbat Shalom ! Yeesss another Vlog !Just finished Christmas in Jerusalem, I loved it !!! . Thank you again!
My pleasure Rosio. Glad you like it 🙂
Daniel---- i went here once and looked around -- now i can learn more about this place== Isaiah 53
You've got to do something about the sound I can't hear you.
its fixed! I got the new wireless mic!!
CARS ARE SO RUDE
😂
Thankyuo❤Lord yeshua❤️🙏
This is Saint Anne, I need prayers for my home. I need financial increase. I need a supportive husband. I need protection for my vehicle and my home right now.🙏🏻
My prayers and thoughts with you 🙏
More history on the crusader tomb. Is it from the Lusignan family? They had a Jean and were an extremely prominent family with Guy being the last king of Jerusalem by his marriage to sibylla before Saladin conquered it.
I’m fact Jean would have been Guy’s cousin.
I don’t think any one knows..
I get excited to see a new vid! I wonder why the city doesn't have a noise ordinance with all the honking horns.
I sooooooooo agree with you!
Question? Why would a man wash himself in the same water as an animal? Idk. There would’ve been another area to wash the animals, I think. Awesome video! 👍 wish I could see it in person.
Maybe that is why there were two pools? If both were fully excavated we might know
❤👍👍
What a nice information sir
💖🙏
Great video, Danny. I wish you had gone further inside the Church, where the statue of Mary and her mother stands.
Perhaps in one of my next videos
Extraordinary!!! Thank you!
Love from Indonesia🕊💕🇮🇩
Nice camera upgrade!
The crusader church is a mark in time what is the science of time marks .how does everything unite
🤷♂️
7:20 lol beep beep
Hi brother. Thank you so much! Good to see you up and around. God bless you! 🙏👍❤
Thand you and God Bless you too!
Shalom Danny!!! My archaeologist husband says archeology is the 5th Gospel. How amazing the Brit Chadasha (NT) is true, Adonai breathed!!! Adonai wrote His Word!!! What you are teaching is facts. The science of archaeology proves the acuracy of the Torah & the Brit Chadasha. So many scientific minds trust science & find it difficult to have faith in trusting that Yeshua is Messiah. Those who keep seeking will find.
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" Jer. 29:13
oh Ed.. I would be carefull with the use of archaeology to "prove" the bible.. Sometimes the gaps are quite big.. this will be another series I should consider..
cant tell if I trust his insights more or less because he talks to pigeons...
🤷♂️
Do they just let people walk around all the old architecture?
Yes. It’s a pilgrimage destination today.
I hope you’re feeling better!
It seems that it is behind me now!
Thank you for another very interesting vlog. Who knew??
Also, maybe it is just my device (Macbook), but I have to have the volume on full to hear it properly. Other TH-cam videos I don't need to turn up the volume as much. Can you adjust the recording volume?
I am aware of the problem, and just got a proper mic! hopefully this will not happen again.
@@danny.the.digger Awesome! Hope it works well
QUE PENA Q NO ESTE TRADUCIDO AL ESPAÑOL😔
Sorry.. don’t speak the language..
Can you make the soundtrack better, when you are making the videos? The sound on my PC is on 100 %, and still it is difficult to hear you. I love your videos - they are excellent :-)
Mine too 😐
Sorry.. didn’t have the right gear then..
Wow.
Is it two pools to allow gender segregation?
Perhaps. No one knows.
Thank you so much for this video Brother Danny. I visited this area in 2018. How wonderful it is to see and revisit without the crowds. Just a special place to visit.
My pleasure. Glad you like it 😇
Why did they cover up the pool ?
It just got filled over the years after gone out of use..
Great insight, Brother Danny. My wife and I were there in March 2023. What a wonderful experience. We are trusting the Lord to return soon.
Be Blessed.
You're right -- it IS a jumble! And when I visited there, I didn't have much help making sense of what we were seeing. So thank you for filling in some of the detail. Now I'm looking forward to a return visit!
Ahhhhh, the honking. It wouldn't be Jerusalem without honking. 😆❤
Just discovered Danny the Digger's video channel, thanks to Sergio and Rhoda, and to Eric Stakelbeck. These are the next best things to an actual visit to Israel. And a whole lot less expensive. Danny, please don't get too slick and "professional ". These videos are so down to earth and personal. Very enjoyable.
How do places like this end up filling up with so much dirt? I never understand why that happens.
Thank you Danny.. these are exceptional tours.. I've been to most of these locations but hearing your archeological expertise adds so much to my understanding.
This was just excellent! I would love to have you as a guide when I come visit Israel! Greetings from Poland!
dobry wieczór polsko 🙂
@@danny.the.digger Dziękuję bardzo!
Fantastic video, Danny. I am learning so much more. Can't wait to return to Jerusalem! PS The commotion with the traffic and cars honking are the evil one trying to distract you from speaking the truth! Shalom.
is the south eastern corner of the pool open to public? I have not seen that?
Yes. I went there.
@@danny.the.digger I was thinking you might have had special access down the steps. I did not even notice the gate before. Excellent videos.
I always heard it was called Sheep Gate because of the trading of sheep as well. The steps into the pool may simply have been a way to get to the water when levels were really low, not because it was used as a mikva.
Indeed, and perhaps for both. who knows.
@@danny.the.digger Love the videos. I hope your channel grows. Keep 'em coming!
I love how you record your videos, it makes me feel like I’m actually there walking around!
Thank you for posting and opening my mind..
I am new to your channel I't has been a blessing to me Amen
And i LOVE the side distractions 😍☺️
Awesome job... ESPECIALLY with all the distractions... Nicely done 😊
My pleasure. Glad you likee it! 🙂
Danny, loving your Jerusalem tours. Wondering if you could mention the dates when you refer to time periods such as maccabees and old roman. I am somewhat familiar but it would be very helpful for us novices. Thank you for considering this.
Maybe I should do a little historical introduction.. that is an idea..
Danny, thank you so much 🙏
Thanksss 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
What a wonderful video - thank you so much
My pleasure. Glad you like it 🙂
