Damascus Gate, Jerusalem ‎This photo shows a structure constructed long after Bible times, but tradition has it that Saul of Tarsus went through a gate near this one when he traveled to Damascus. Gates and walls protected principal cities throughout the ancient world, and much of the book of Nehemiah describes the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s wall. Building city walls stopped only when modern cannons and aircraft made them obsolete. Solomon observes that a rich man thinks of his wealth as a wall protecting him ( Prov 18:11 ). ‎ Neh 2:13–17, Neh 6:15, Ps 122:7, Prov 18:11, Acts 9:1–2, Rev 21:12–14

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem

Mosque of Omar and Turkish Quarter, Jerusalem ‎We now go with Jesus through the valleys and over the hills, from the Sea of Galilee to the Holy City on her throne among the Judean mountains. When Christ came the Jewish Temple stood, as we have said before, where now the Mosque of Omar rises with its beautiful dome against the blue sky of Syria. It is the most prominent and striking building in Jerusalem, and from every point of view we catch the fine outline of the dome. Here the feet of Christ often trod the courts of the temple. Toward its towers He looked with mingled love and sorrow. To His sensitive soul here came memories of a long and eventful history in which His own human ancestors figured, and in which His Holy Father. God himself, had expressed in sundry ways and divers manners His will, His wrath, His grace. Upon this particular visit of our Lord to the Jews’ Passover it is said that He “found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep, and doves, and the changer...

Ancient Olive Trees, Garden of Gethsemane, Jerusalem ‎We are in a little wall enclosure near the northern end of the valley of the brook Kedron. Jerusalem stands on its hill over there at the west, just hidden by the olive trees before us, its high walls overlooking the spot where we are now. The Mount of Olives rises behind us at the east. ‎It is a peaceful, sunshiny place, this ancient garden—a lovely spot with those old, gnarled olive trees speaking of times past and the vigorous, crowded growth of young, new plants and grasses telling of the earth’s vitality to-day. It is a garden of most sacred associations—a place where our most deeply rooted feelings reach down into the past and where our highest aspirations reach up towards the Highest. ‎It was down here, one night almost nineteen hundred years ago that the Master came to gather strength for the approaching end. These cannot be the very same trees that rustled in the garden that night, but they may be direct desc...

The Mosque of Omar, Jerusalem ‎ This beautiful mosque has a meaning within and above its beauty that no other edifice can claim. It is the shelter or inclosure of the great altar of the world. It has a post of sublime interest, and one always asks oneself, “What will be the next great event in its history?” Away back in the childhood of the world Abraham climbed these heights, yet untouched by man, and laid his son, Isaac, there for an offering to the Lord, who had claimed it. After the trial was over it became the “Mount of the Lord,” and the Messiah was then promised. Later the great plague that fell upon Israel was stayed at this spot— “the threshing-floor of Oman, or Araunah ” —and here David saw the great angel stand between the heaven and the earth, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. And another altar was built by David, upon which the Lord sent holy fire. A few years later Solomon laid the foundation of the Lord’s house around the rock alta...

Jerusalem, the City of the Great King ‎ We are standing on the Mount of Olives, just behind a modern Russian church, looking directly west across the valley of the Brook Kedron to Mount Moriah and the walled city of Jerusalem. Bethlehem is only six miles away at our left (S.W.); the Sea of Galilee is 70 miles distant at our right; 16 miles behind us the Jordan pours its waters into the Dead Sea; beyond Jerusalem, in the direction in which we are looking now, stand the mountains, and then below their farther slopes the plains of Sharon, and then the shores of the Mediterranean less than 40 miles from here in a straight line. ‎ “Across the valley and under the wall do you see the army of gravestones where innumerable Mohammedans lie buried? Do you notice in the wall, almost in the middle of our range of vision, an elevation having a double arch under it? That is the Golden Gate , which the Turks have walled up because of a tradition that through this gate a conqueror, not of t...

Jerusalem ‎The fortress-like structure of the King David Hotel dominates Jerusalem’s skyline when photographed from the western wall of the Old City. Another hotel bearing the name of a great king, Solomon, looks from here like a block of stone piercing the sky. The Yemin Moshe neighborhood with its red tiled roofs tumbles down the hillside, engulfed in green.

The Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem

Golden Gate, Jerusalem ‎ “On the next day, much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet Him , and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord . And Jesus , when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.” — John 12:12–15 . “And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is  He that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. And when He was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.” — Matthew 21:8–11 . “And many spread their garments in the wa...

Jerusalem ‎By 34 BC, under King Herod’s rule, ancient Jerusalem went through major redevelopment, crowned with the rebuilding of the Second Temple and a bigger Temple Mount. In AD 66, the Great Jewish Revolt challenged Roman rule over Jerusalem, resulting in the destruction of the temple and the fall of Jerusalem by AD 70.
