Western Wall, Rabbinical Tunnels







Tuesday we got to go visit one of the "must sees", we've consistently been told to visit in Jerusalem, the Western Wall Rabbinical Tunnels. It's a free exhibit, but reservations are neccessary. Pastor John was able to fill us in with two extra spots for Nick and I. It was so cool to be able to go and see all the sweet things. The tunnel leads you down and along the actual original Western Wall Temple Mount Stones. They're amazingly huge. King Herod the great...the Herod of Jesus' birth time, did a political move in his reign to get favor and remodeled the temple for the Jews. He put huge long, super heavy stones, on the walls he built, and even flattened out the area of the temple mount to make it level. Even to this day, we don;t know how Herod, moved the huge massive stones, it can be hardly done with today's technology, and is a mystery of how he did it then. Cool part is to just realize, what a wonderful gift and creation of our brains God has done. He lets up do these huge "unexplainable" things, but even in all that. They're all still nothing compared to the wonderful things God has done. Nothing we do can even compare, man how great is out God who can blow anything away that we can possibly do, even at full brain capacity power.
