Nestled just outside the walls of Jerusalem’s Old City, near the Damascus Gate, the Garden Tomb offers visitors a quiet, contemplative place to reflect on the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For many Christians, it is considered one of the most meaningful locations in Israel, thought by some to be the possible site of Jesus’ crucifixion, burial, and resurrection.

The apostle Paul first visited Ephesus on the return from his missionary journey where he “entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews” (Acts 18:19–21). On his second journey, Paul came to Ephesus and taught the twelve disciples who knew only the baptism of John (Acts 19:1–7) and “went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God” (Acts 19:8).

Friendship Tours Group at the Southern Temple steps.

The Southern Steps are a significant archeological and historical site in Jerusalem, particularly in the context of Christianity. They are located on the southern side of the Temple Mount, and in the first century, they led to the south entrance to the Temple Mount.

It is believed that Jesus taught on the Southern Steps, preaching to the people who gathered at the Temple. Though the Bible does not specify exactly which steps He used; it is likely that these were among the locations where He delivered His teachings. One of Jesus’ most profound lessons on humility is found in Matthew 23:12, where He says, “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

The destruction of S***m and Gomorrah, whether by divine intervention or natural disaster, remains one of the most enduring and enigmatic stories of the Bible. The archaeological evidence from sites such as Tall el-Hammam, Bab edh-Dhra, and Numeira offers tantalizing clues that the biblical Cities of the Plain may have been real, and that their destruction was a historical event that left a lasting impression on the region’s inhabitants.

The Cities of the Plain, including Lot’s Cave, are mentioned in the Bible and are the subject of some archaeological evidence. The Bible describes the Cities of the Plain as five cities located in a fertile valley in the Dead Sea basin, southeast of the Dead Sea. The cities are S***m, Gomorrah, Ad...
