    Capernaum “Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.” (Mark 1:21) © 2017 David Padfield www.padfield.com Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Capernaum, The City Of Jesus Introduction I. The city of Capernaum was a small fishing village on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, about two miles west of the Jordan River. A. The Hebrew name for this village is Keœfar NahΩum, which means, “village of Nahum.” B. While this ancient town is not mentioned by name in the Old Testament, it is mentioned sixteen times in the New Testament. C. Matthew refers to Capernaum as our Lord’s “own city” (Matt 9:1), for it became the center of His Galilean ministry. D. This is interesting since He was not born in Capernaum, His parents did not live in there, and He did not grow up there! E. Jesus performed more miracles and preached more sermons in and around Capernaum than at any other place during His entire ministry. F. The residents of this prosperous town were common people who made their living from fishing, agriculture, and trade. G. The road leading to Damascus passed nearby, providing a commercial link with regions to the north and south. H. Capernaum was also a garrison town, housing a detachment of Roman soldiers, under a centurion, along with government officials. II. It was in the vicinity of Capernaum that Jesus chose several of His apostles.

  • Innocent Blood — Part One
    ONE SESSION SESSION INNOCENT BLOOD — PART ONE Tel Megiddo, where this session was filmed, is located at a strategic mountain pass overlooking the Plain of Jezreel, which made the city of Megiddo one of the most important cities in ancient Israel. The Via Maris, the main trade route between the dominant world pow- ers of the day — Egypt and the Mesopotamian empires of Assyria, Babylon, and Persia — crossed the mountains at Megiddo. So who- ever controlled the city could exert great power over world trade and have significant influence over world culture. In fact, the Via Maris was one source of Solomon’s wealth because God gave him the political might to control the key cities along that trade route — Hazor, Gezer, and of course Megiddo. Some scholars believe that because of Megiddo’s strategic location more battles have been fought in the Jezreel Valley below it than in any other place in the world. But in the context of the Bible, Megiddo repre- sents more than political control, more than economic and cultural influence. It also represents the battle for spiritual control of the minds and hearts of people — the ongoing battle between good and evil. That battle was waged when the people of ancient Israel lived in the land, it continues to this day, and it will culminate in the bat- tle of Har Megiddo, or Armageddon. So let’s take a closer look at the significance of Tel Megiddo. Centuries before the Israelites settled in the Promised Land (from about 2950 – 2350 BC), Megiddo was a prominent “high place” where the p eople of Canaan worshiped their fertility god, Baal, and his supposed mistress, Asherah.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • Lesson 17 - Ist Kings 9 and 10
    Lesson 17 - Ist Kings 9 and 10 1ST KINGS Week 17, chapters 9 and 10 We moved into 1st Kings Chapter 9 last week, and the chapter begins sometime after the halfway point of Solomon’s 40 year reign. The Temple is built and in operation, Solomon’s extravagant Palace is completed. King Shlomo’s many building projects throughout his kingdom have elevated his personal fame and Israel’s national status, and monarchs ruling far flung kingdoms are curious and envious of this amazingly wise king and the astounding wealth this relatively small country has amassed almost overnight. Unexpectedly the Lord God appears to Solomon in a dream-vision, just as He had 2 decades earlier at the beginning of Shlomo’s reign. God brings a dual-edged oracle to Solomon; first it is to confirm that He has heard Solomon’s prayers and petitions at the Temple dedication ceremony (now some 13 or more years in the past), and that He has been looking favorably upon them. Second is to issue a reminder that is actually a not-so-veiled threat. Yehoveh reminds Solomon that despite all the adulation and notoriety that is being heaped upon him for his stupendous accomplishments, the future of Solomon’s dynasty and the well-being of the nation of Israel shall always be subject to the Lord’s discretion. The idea is that Solomon should NOT take it that because Israel and its king have become the envy of the world that somehow this is indicative that all is right between Israel and God; the accumulation of wealth and fame is not an earthly indication of righteousness or even harmony with the Lord.

  • Making God Known to the World In-Depth Personal Study Sessions
    ONE SESSION SESSION STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS The people who lived in the land of Israel left behind an indelible record of their lives. An important part of that record lies in large mounds called tels, which are piles of debris from ancient cities that over the centuries were destroyed and rebuilt, one on top of another. As archaeologists excavate tels, they peel away preserved layers of history and bring to light evidence of the culture, architec- ture, art, diet, weapons, and even writings of the people who lived in those ancient cities. Their findings about the culture and people of ancient Israel stand as a testimony to the truth of the words we read in the Bible. This video focuses on Tel Gezer, one of the greatest tels in Israel. To stand on this huge mound is to stand on the ruins of as many as five thousand years of human history! Today, Tel Gezer’s location in a quiet, agricultural region gives little indication of its importance in history. But in ancient times, Gezer was a bustling crossroads. Gezer could be described as a city “in between.” To understand this, we need to zoom out and consider the geography of Gezer and the ancient world. To the west is the fertile, coastal plain that lies along the Mediterranean Sea. To the east are the foothills — the Shephelah — beyond which lie the mountains of Judea and, beyond them, the forbidding Arabian Desert. So Gezer lies “between” the desert and the sea. If we zoom out farther, we see Egypt, a technologically advanced world power southwest of Gezer.

It was a busy year, hopefully a good omen for those to come. We are delighted to share with you our news, plans, and other announcements. Looking forward to seeing you in our future events and to future collaborations! Zur Shalev, Gil Gambash, HCMH Directors Hilla Heinemann, HCMH Administrator Research November 2016- The Cyprus Project In our November 2016 conference we had Prof. Joan Connelly from New York University as guest speaker. During the conference, Prof. Connelly expressed keen interest to collaborate not only with HCMH, but also with the Recanati Institute of Maritime Studies (RIMS), headed by our co- director, Dr. Gil Gambash. She invited representatives from HCMH and RIMS to visit her excavation site in western Cyprus, on the island of Yeronisos, for the double purpose of discussing future cooperation and conducting preliminary underwater survey around the shores of the island. The Haifa delegation visited Cyprus in June 2017, and included both our co-directors, as well as Prof. Assaf Yasur- Landau, a senior researcher in RIMS and head of the Laboratory for Coastal Archaeology and Underwater Survey at the Department of Maritime Civilizations, and Mr. Amir Yurman, head of RIMS' maritime workshop. Preliminary results of the underwater survey established the ground for future collaboration in Yeronisos and the nearby bay of Maniki, and academic and logistical discussions to that effect took place during the visit, involving the NYU team, as well as senior representatives from the University of Cyprus and the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus.

  • The Megiddo Expedition: Archaeology and the Bible
    Westpfahl UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research VIII (2005) The Megiddo Expedition: Archaeology and the Bible Jennifer Westpfahl Faculty sponsor: Mark Chavalas, Department of History ABSTRACT The site of Megiddo is widely regarded as one of the most important biblical period sites in Israel. Surrounded by fortifications, supplied by hidden water installations and covered with impressive palaces and temples, Megiddo was one of the most important cities in Canaan and Israel. Because of its location and importance, archaeologists have been excavating the site for over one hundred years. Biblical scholars often cite Megiddo as a site containing supporting evidence for the chronology found in the biblical text, a subject that has come into controversy in recent times. The controversy is based in part on the archaeology of the United Monarchy in ancient Israel under the Davidic dynasty, a viewpoint based primarily on reports from the biblical text. This report discusses the history of Megiddo, the current controversy, archaeological techniques used by the current Expedition and preliminary results from the 2004 season. TEL MEGIDDO: AN INTRODUCTION The site of Megiddo is widely regarded as one of Israel’s most important archaeological sites for the Bronze and Iron Ages (Finkelstein et al. 2000) and is the only site in the Levant mentioned in all great records of the Ancient Near East including the Old and New Testaments, Egyptian, Assyrian and Hittite sources. Strategically located above the most important land route in the ancient Near East, the Via Maris, the city dominated international traffic for over 6000 years – from ca. 7000 B.C.E.

  • Three Gospels Script
    Three Gospels Episode 01 Backdrop of the Gospels Script How would you answer the question, “In what direction is Jerusalem?” We writers addressed that question many times in the New Testament, and any Israelite of my time would easily have been able to answer it. We writers of the Gospels did not spend precious scroll space writing about such things as politics, geography, trade routes. You probably have little knowledge of those things as they existed in my time, but everyone in our time had a good understanding of them! With a rudimentary understanding of our trade routes, geography and politics, you will be able to spot many nuances in our Gospel stories that you would otherwise miss. I will tell you nothing here that is critical to your salvation, but there are some things that will enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the New Testament. More important than having that knowledge is the new ability you will attain of understanding my peers as people not much different than yourselves. Many people of your time consider people like me as so distant in time and experience as to be almost mythical characters. But we were concerned with the same things as you. Just like you, we worried about how to make enough money to feed our families and ourselves, we wanted to wear clothes that made us feel good around our friends, and we wanted to be loved by others. We got tired when we walked uphill, and hurt badly when we got beaten or stoned. The daily news informed us about making decisions, and world events, politics and economics influenced our lives whether we liked it or not, exactly like your lives are influenced by those same factors.
