NORTHERN ISRAEL
Northern Israel encompasses some of the most beautiful and historically significant landscapes in the Holy Land. From the lush valleys of the Galilee to the snow-capped peak of Mount Hermon, this region was the backdrop for much of Jesus' ministry and the setting of key Old Testament events.
Caesarea Philippi
At the foot of Mount Hermon, near the ancient city of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked His disciples, 'Who do you say I am?' Peter's great confession — 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God' — was spoken here (Matthew 16:13-16). The site, with its pagan temples and cave of Pan, makes the setting of this declaration all the more dramatic.
The Jezreel Valley
The Jezreel Valley — also called the Valley of Armageddon — stretches across northern Israel and has been the site of more battles than perhaps any other place on earth. It is here, according to Revelation 16:16, that the armies of the world will gather for the final battle at the end of the age.
