The gospel also speaks of Mary Magdalene, also called María Magdalena, who, having been freed from the seven evils by Jesus, joined the group of women who followed him (Lc. 8, 13). She is among Jesus’ principal disciples and would be the first to bear witness to the Resurrection and become “the Evangelist to the Apostles”, according to the title bestowed upon her by the Eastern Christian Churches.

  • For Palistine in the Time of Christ
    Maria Valtorta was an Eye-Witness to the First Century Life and Ministry of Our Lord Jesus! Her Numerous Strikingly Accurate Descriptions of First Century Palestine Prove it! Research done by David J. Webster M.Div. 11/15/04 While it may be difficult for some to grasp, “in the spirit” where all time is one, one can, if allowed by providence, literally see any event in history as it actually takes place. That Maria Valtorta’s revelations are literally packed with strikingly accurate descriptions of first century Palestine reveals that what she saw was the very life and ministry of our Lord. This would mean that The Poem is not the product of mere pious imagination as seems at least partly true with other revelations of biblical persons and times. Over thirty percent or 79 (all entries marked with * and **) of the 255 geographical sites in Palestine mentioned in the Poem were not listed in the 1939 International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) Atlas. 62 (all **) of these 79 were not even listed in the 184 page Macmillan Bible Atlas (MBA) published in 1968. Where did Maria Valtorta get all these names? For a first century eye-witness to include so many obscure and unknown names would, of course, be expected. And most surprising is that these names, obscure and unknown in the 1940’s, are being proven authentic. 52 of these 62 have no biblical reference whatever and 17 of these with no biblical reference have been either indirectly confirmed as authentic by recent “ancient external sources” found in the Macmillan Bible Atlas (1968) or actually listed in the HarperCollins Atlas of the Bible (1989).

  • Tour Also Includes
    KINGDOM ENCOUNTER A Kingdom Marketplace Study Tour The Kingdom of God is like… Yeshua (Jesus) frequently began his teachings with this simple phrase. One of His key missions was revealing the Kingdom of God to His listeners and bringing the reality of heaven down to earth. But “Kingdom” is often a challenge to grasp, and even more difficult to apply practically. Perhaps you’ve found yourself asking questions such as: Why was Jesus’s primary message about a “Kingdom” and not a religion? Why is “Israel” important? What does the Kingdom have to do with the “marketplace”? If I am not in full-time ministry, does my “work” even matter? What is the “church” that Jesus taught about in Matthew 16? Am I reading my Bible in its proper “context”? If you have asked yourself some or all of these questions, then this study tour is for you! The Kingdom Encounter is a one-of-a-kind experience crafted for business and marketplace leaders. This special, on-site and in-depth study tour focuses on encouraging and equipping those who are called by God to be redemptive leaders in every sphere of society. From the southern wilderness cities to the lush shores of the Galilee, join us as we explore the ancient paths of our faith, discovering Kingdom principles and applications, personally and professionally. You’ll also meet local believers and leaders – and learn what it means to be a follower of the Messiah in a country like Israel. Join us as we encounter the Land, engage the People and experience the life-changing Word! Baruch HaShem, The Israel Firstfruits Team Hosted by: Bob Borcherdt Bob Borcherdt is the Founder and President of IN2GREAT.
