Misty's Interview at Caesarea Philippi

This is way up in Northern Israel, they uncovered these walls and gates of the Northern Kingdom when Solomon turned the kingdom over to Rehoboam, who was brutal. So his brother Jeroboam took 10 tribes north. From here the 10 tribes were scattered and "lost."

This is the alter in the land of Dan in the northern kingdom (opposite of the golden calf--next picture). A lot bigger than I thought. The fire was below, the animal up above.

This is right where Jeroboam put up the Golden Calf, ruining the people, sending all the righteous south, and leading the 10 tribes into scatterdom.

This is a momument in Northern Israel right near the Syrian border in an area called the Golan Heights. It is a mountain or hill once part of Syria. Syria surprise attacked Israel from here in 1974 and drove into Israel. After 7 days, the Israelis pushed them back and took this heavily fortified hill. We saw all the bumkers and walked thru them. It's like a Gettysberg for Israel. Syria wants the land back, but Israel is not about to give it up. It's high, Syria has repeatedly lobbed rockets and stuff from here at Israel.

The Syrians were brutal, planted land mines all over the place in the Golan Heights, and they are still there, so they have to block off the area. Mom almost went in there!

Misty can be brutal too, mom and dad barely escaped this ugly episode by some skillful negotiation!
