Another place they took us was to this tree. It is just hanging there by these cords. It was pretty cool. There is some symbolism with it but i wasn't sure what it was.
In Tel Aviv they have this Wishing Bridge. Along the railing they have all the zodiak signs. You are supposed to go stand by your sign and touch while you are looking out at the sea and make your wish. I am not really angry in this picture. The sun is in my eyes. :)
In Joppa we went to the house of Simon the tanner. On the roof of that house was where Peter had his revelation that the gospel was to be shared with everybody and not just the Jews. This revelation opened up missionary work to a lot more of our Heavenly Father's childre.This revelation made it possible eventually for all of us to become members of Christ's church.
The is the port at Joppa. This was the same place the port would of been in Bible times. It was at this port that Jonah had his experience with the whale. The Lord gave Jonah a call to go somewhere and he wanted to run and hide from the Lord. We all know that you can't hide from the Lord. Jonah was then swallowed up by a whale. We all know the story. This story teaches us a couple of things. One we need to be responisible and do the things we are asked to do and that the Lord knows everything and we can't hide anything from the Lord.
