    I've never been to Israel, and at an advanced age doubt I will make it. Yet, every one of your videos makes my heart long for that country. The beauty, the history, the knowledge that my Savior was born, walked, died and rose there. Thank you so much for bringing well made, delightful videos for us to discover Israel. God bless you.

      The average lifespan of Israelis is high & people of advanced age are abundant. Remember that to get to most sites you can skip the camels & ride in an air-conditioned car with a guide. Most sites have accomodations for the elderly & handicapped. Faith will keep you safe and strong. Touching the stones is very different than just dreaming about them.

    The most impressive thing in this whole video is when Sergio, referring to the Bedouin, "how can we help these people?" Definitely the mind of Christ to His praise and His glory. Great work. Thank you..

    In the summer if 1973, I was an archaeology student excavator at Tel Be'er Sheva. I was part of the team that first found and excavated "Abraham's Well". The "feature" was at first a circle of stones on flat ground, buried by sand. Lead Archaelogist Aharoni was called over and was very excited. He gave us the OK to take it down a few inches. The entire well interior was filled in with sand. Everyone on the dig was excited. It was a great find and my honor to begin to uncover it. The actual date of the well was unknown then, and the debris found in the well dated to only 1,200 BCE, long after Avraham. Still, it is a great find. A week after we left Tel Sheva, Aharoni discovered the famous "Horned Altar" which made world headlines.

    I’ll likely never get to see Israel in this life because I am 66 and disabled. We could conceivably save the money to do it, but not being able to walk very well would limit my exploring. I say all this to let you know what an incredible blessing you guys are to us! We get to see it through your eyes and exploring with your young legs, energy, etc. Your videos are always very interesting and we use them along with our Bible study and a few other sites to paint the pictures in our minds. Mostly me, to be honest because my wife watches mostly Spanish language Christian videos. She has been an American citizen for about six years. I also speak Spanish. It is hard for her to process English in some accents, but you guys are very clear. I think in the millenium we could live there or visit often (Yeshua will rule from Jerusalem and we should all hope to be very close to Him at all times). Of course we don’t know the details! Thanks for your help in knowing Israel and may God richly bless you!

      @@grandmagrace9453 Agreed, although modern college is rather questionable sometimes. My thoughts though are they found even older sherds but decided it doesn't mean the area was inhabited. Wouldn't logic suggest that in order to find sherds in the first place it would have to have been inhabited for atleast a short time, and if there is no other evidence does that not support nomadic tent dwellers? I feel like teaching a little straightforward logic could help in college nowadays.

      FALSE, Abraham was a NOBLE from around the area of Sumer in Iraq who moved to the lands of Israel and Egypt . He was very wealthy and in high regard for that time. Abraham was not some nobody but was well connected and well liked due to his leadership and diplomatic skills. People make it sound like he was wandering around the desert by himself. THIS IS FALSE. He has a large entourage of servants, guards and other dignitaries that did his bidding. He was a very important person not some lone wolf tent crawler.

    Sergio and Rhoda, So very impressive, and well worth waiting for. Part 2 is a must! I have to agree with everyone else who has commented on the amount of time and commitment it evidently took to compile all this, from deciding on the project, to the dedicated research, phone calls, driving to sites, followed by many hours, if not days of reading and analysis. Then there is the putting of it all together, deciding what to include or leave out. Many hours, if not days and weeks of work. We all owe you our sincere thanks and total appreciation. May the Lord guide you, bless you, and keep you safe in all that you do. Again, thank you!

    I so enjoy going on adventures through the Holy land with you! Your genuine excitement over walking in ancient places always makes me smile. I appreciate the time you took to do the research on former digs and to highlight those findings. It is always so interesting to see how clues can be hidden in language that way. I vote for “episode 2”!

    Sergio & Rhoda my favorite discovery duo at it again!!! Your love and commitment to knowing about these matters comes with desire, pleasure and seems easy to us which confirms a lot that you both are exactly where God wants you and can use you. Such a joy to watch these and share your excitement knowing these are more and more affirmations that our Bible is true and yes, the best is yet to come. Would love to see more discoveries of those wells.

I miss it and it’s fun to see you guys travel around and remember certain places I’ve been and explore new places thru your videos. It’s truly an amazing and beautiful and ancient country! The birthplace of Jesus and all the patriarchs. Keep these coming! Love to you both!

I was in Israel in 2017 and watching you explore areas I've been brings back such wonderful memories. But we couldn't see everything in 2 weeks so I really appreciate you covering areas that I never thought I'd get to see. THank you so much. The bible sure comes alive now! Bless you and your ministry.

  • @elizabethross6111
    @elizabethross6111 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    Part 2, please! Also, if Abraham had dug a well that remained after he had moved on, wouldn’t it stand to reason that a village or even a city would pop up around or nearby? What a cool video. Thank you.

    • @ninjaphobos
      @ninjaphobos ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. And also reasonable for the later city to be moved up on top of the hill to be more defensible in more hazardous times and for those people to dig a more accessible well and water storage system within their walls. As the archaeologists said, the oldest city on Tel el Seba/Tel el Be'er-sheba was from Iron I. That one was probably the city with rock walls and, then, later shored up with bricks. Then, the city was destroyed in Iron IIb (looked that up on Wikipedia) and the whole area was then occupied by nomadic Bedouins until the Old City of modern Beersheba was founded by the Ottoman Turks in the early 20th century (also Wikipedia). And where did they put their city? Around the pair of wells at the bottom of the hill that the Bedouins claimed were Abraham's wells, not the well up on the ruins of the ancient walled city.
      So, what is a logical narrative? Abraham *did* dig wells in this area. His family shepherds in the area for a few generations until suddenly the site became essentially unoccupied for large swaths of early biblical history This actually makes *perfect* sense biblically because the Bible says that Jacob (Abraham's grandson) and his family left the area because of a famine and went to Egypt. At that time, no one from the remaining Canaanite groups would have bothered to use it as more than a watering post for livestock as the area was uninhabitable at the time. Later, when Israel forms as a nation, they come to the site, but are under near constant threat of attack from the Philistines, so they build a walled city up on top of the highest hill nearest to the original wells. This city is built up on the tell takes on the name Beersheba for ~500 years until the Neo-Assyrians destroy everything in the 700s BC. The place remains unoccupied because there weren't enough Israelites to come back and rebuild it.
      Everything makes sense if you step back and look at what archaeological record you might expect given the biblical record. The Bible does not mention *constant* inhabitation from 2000 - 700 BC. It mentions about 50-100 years of habitation from 2000 - 1900 BC, then a 400-year sojourn in Egypt. Moses is said to have lived somewhere between 1600 and 1300 BC (there is a lot of debate). The Exodus would be followed by a 40-year sojourn in Sinai, and then a return to the general area by between 1500 - 1200 BC (depending on how you date Moses). The1300 BC date put on the Iron I city on the Tel el Be'er-sheba is essentially right on time wrt the Exodus timeline and emergence of Israel in the area.

  • @philippmeinecke
    @philippmeinecke ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Sergio & Rhoda, first of all - your cinematography went up big time. You invested in new gear and got a lot of practice compared to your earlier videos. A big "hats off" to the "extra" you are putting into your work. This is a lot of time and resources put into this, which does not get acknowledged a lot. So thank you for going further, reaching deeper, and progressing further in order to present to all of us the "more", the "clear", and the "unknown" - especially for those of us who have never been to any of the places, but one day hope to.
    Your video came up right around the time when I was asked to preach/lecture on Genesis 26 at a conference in Switzerland in July of 2023. I have been pouring over the texts of Scripture and noticed the emphasis on the wells. While I cannot speak to the archeological sites, we can surmise from Scripture (1) the importance of wells, (2) the importance of naming certain places, and (3) where we can find the application for us today. Therefore, I would love it if you could go back once more ... and dig deeper into the seven wells, but also noting the connection between "water", "desert", and "blessing" (barak ... "blessing," "kneeling," "fruitful," "pool" ...). There is so much more there than what meets the eye from the biblical account that needs to be shown. Thank you for your hard work!
