The terrain of Israel has many dramatic variations. None is more striking than two very well known cities; Jerusalem and Jericho. The distance between the cities is about 16 miles. However, the land between the two cities drops from about 2,500 feet above sea level to about 1,100 feet below sea level - a drop of approximately 3,600 feet!
You might remember a parable of Jesus about the Good Samaritan. It took place in the Judean Wilderness between Jerusalem and Jericho.
Shalom.
Pastor Rick
