Israel Tour: CulturalXchange

Join us as we tour across Israel; visiting numerous famous biblical, historical, and archaeological sites.

This collection of films is a collaboration with the largest tourism company in Israel (IGT Tours), to bring you a never-before-seen experience: a proper guided tour of Israel's acclaimed sites, all in the comfort of your own home.

Locations include, but are not limited to:

Engedi - where David hid from Saul’s armies and where he wrote many of the Psalms

Qumran - Your VR Tour Guide is renowned archeologist, Roni Netzer, who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls excavations. We discuss why there are Scrolls. Then a brief talk about who the Essenes are, and why they are like a New Testament community but could not be.

Masada - we examine King Herod’s lavish resort hideaway on top of a mountain beside the Dead Sea. We discuss how the Romans were denied a slaughter by the suicide of almost a thousand Jews who had taken over the top and lived there for three years.

Dead Sea - we discuss the ecological disaster currently happening and the efforts to work with Jordan & Egypt to save the Dead Sea from further shrinkage

Nazareth - we discuss Yeshua’s first “midrash” (preaching) of Isaiah 60 to begin His ministry after returning from the wilderness temptation. Why did his message make them so angry? We go to Mt. Precipice, the cliff outside of Nazareth village, to see how far that drop is and get a look from the Valley of Jezreel towards the nine hour walk to Capernaum.
