Why did God place Israel at the crossroads of the ancient world? Discover how the highways connecting Egypt and Mesopotamia shaped Israel’s prosperity, vulnerability, and calling to be a light to the nations.
I Want To Be A Green Olive Tree
God will handle it! He will deal with the gossiper, the informant, and the evil worker. When the time is right, He will uproot the evildoer and establish His faithful as a “green olive tree in the house of God”
Temple Steps: Approaching God with Reverence and Humility
By John W. Moore Few places in Jerusalem put your feet in the actual place where Jesus once stood, as the southern steps do. Nearly every time I visit, I see Christian groups doing the same thing. People slow down. They look at their feet. Someone opens a Bible to the Psalms of Ascent and reads aloud. For a few quiet minutes, a modern tour group reenacts what many believe happened some two thousand years ago, as Jewish worshippers ascended these steps on their way to the inner court and...
As the Mountains Surround Jerusalem, God Surrounds His People
By John W. Moore "For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place." — Psalm 132:13 "As the mountains are around Jerusalem, so the Lord is around his people." — Psalm 125:2 It is early morning on the Sabbath during Ramadan, and a peaceful calm blankets the Old City of Jerusalem. Most of the Jewish and Muslim communities are locked away at home, and many shops lie closed inside their respective quarters. It's my favorite part of the day. At the Western Wall, you mostly...
Screeching Bats, A Fractured Skull, and The City of the Great King: Thank you, Mr. Barclay
James Barclay was a 19th-century American missionary and physician who discovered Barclay's Gate, one of the original monumental entrances to the Second Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This discovery provides vital archaeological and historical proof of the physical Jerusalem during the life and times of Jesus.
Designed for Struggle: Working Through the War in Iran
IntroductionIn his books Anxious Generation and The Coddling of the American Mind, Jonathan Haidt and his coauthors propose an interesting theory. The idea goes something like this: the reason American teens, college students, and adults are fighting many mental battles is because they have not been allowed to or exposed to enough struggle in their lives. Jonathan and his peers qualify this theory in two ways. First, they don’t deny that people are still struggling in certain ways. Our teens,...
What Can You Learn From the Desert?
Would it surprise you to know there are actually three wildernesses in the proper boundary of Israel (not to mention the ones that are mentioned outside of the traditional boundary of Canaan)? In this article, we will examine three of the main wildernesses in the Bible. What happened in each? What can each teach us about God and how he wants us to live?
HOW DID THEY DO IT? HOW WERE THREE THOUSAND BAPTIZED IN ANCIENT JERUSALEM?
Was it even possible? According to the book of Acts, three thousand were baptized in Jerusalem in just one day. And yet, baptisteries did not exist during the time of Jesus. Or…did they? Naturally, the New Testament does not require a specially constructed baptistery to fulfill the command to be baptized. But in Jerusalem, a place high in elevation and so far away from a river, how was it possible for so many to be immersed? The answer: in the many mikva’ot (Jewish ritual baths) located...
TALES FROM THE GRAVE: NUMBERS 6:24-26 AND THE KETEF HINNOM SCROLLS
Sitting at the opening of a 2,700 year-old tomb near Jerusalem, Dr. Gabriel Barkay reflected upon one of the world's most celebrated discoveries: “I couldn’t bear the sight of this boy anymore." He was remembering how Nathan had continuously tugged at the back of his shirttail as he directed a major archaeological dig southwest of Jerusalem. He was “always asking silly questions, but so it happens,” as Barkay continued, “he made one of the most important discoveries in my life"--a discovery...
"LACHISH DESTROYED, JERUSALEM SPARED": NEW CONCLUSIONS FROM EXISTING EVIDENCE
BY JOHN W. MOORE The headliner for the Assyrian Post of 701 B.C. reads “Lachish Destroyed, Jerusalem Spared.” Of course, the Assyrian Post is fictional and newspapers didn’t exist in Biblical times—or did they? Between 700-681 BC an Assyrian “newspaper” did in fact report on the famed military exploits of Sennacherib and his conquest of the Levant, including Judah. The campaign included attacks against Lachish, Libnah, and Jerusalem as described in the Bible (2 Kings. 18; Isaiah. 36-37)....
HOW COULD THEY HEAR?
Dear Jackson, You sure remind me of your dad. You notice things other people miss. The other day you were studying that Apologetics Press Bible action card and noticed Damaris seated in a large outdoor theater, and you asked, “How did they hear without a microphone?” Greek and Roman Theater at Ephesus (Theater Photo taken by Ya Ya) Greek and Roman Theater at Ephesus (Theater Photo taken by Ya Ya)That’s a mighty good question. Most folks don’t think about things like that. But you do. She was...
When the Sky Went Dark: How a Modern Locust Plague Proves Joel Was Right
“Has anything like this ever happened?” This is a paraphrase of the question that God asked the people of Israel through his prophet Joel. The question is in response to a locust plague that had affected the people of Israel. The answer to the question is a rhetorical “no”; nothing like this had ever happened. Joel is trying to get the people of Israel to wake up, consider the plague that was sent from God, and see it as a sign of the coming Day of the Lord. Nothing like this had ever...
MILETUS: THE PLACE WHERE PAUL MADE A MISTAKE
Saying good-bye to those we love is always difficult. Saying goodbye for the final time is often hard to bear. From the top row of this theater, a spectator could have easily seen the ancient harbor of Miletus and the place where the elders of Ephesus walked with the apostle Paul to a ship headed for Judea (Acts 20:38). The ancient harbor of Miletus, once a thriving maritime center, no longer exists. Silt from the Meander River closed its access to the Aegean Sea, and the city eventually...
TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT
Emperor Hadrian - Photo Taken at the Istanbul Archaeological Museum Emperor Hadrian - Photo Taken at the Istanbul Archaeological MuseumFor those hurt by death’s menacing power, this image will mean a lot to you. In a vivid display of dominion and power, Emperor Hadrian (76-138 A.D.) stands as a victorious warrior over a menacing enemy of Rome. Variously interpreted as either a Dacian warrior or a Jewish Zealot from the Bar-Kokhba revolt, the trampled subject is shown in an obvious display of...
Did Moses See This Stone Monument?
Located today at Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul, Turkey, this 65-foot granite obelisk dedicated to the Egyptian god Amun-Ra once stood at a temple in Karnak, Egypt. Commissioned by Thutmose III to commemorate his victorious military campaign over the Mitanni, this well-known Egyptian Pharaoh reigned from approximately 1504-1450 BC. While the Bible does not reveal his name, it seems almost certain that it was Thutmose III who died prior to Moses’ return to Egypt following his flight to Midian...
What if Tomorrow Never Comes?
Pompeii is one of the most incredible places to visit in the ancient world. The reason it is so cool is because it is a snapshot of life in ancient times. When the volcano Vesuvius exploded, it buried the city under several feet of ash, leaving it exactly as it was in 79 AD. If you want to know what a Roman town looked like down to the ruts in the road, you can see it at Pompeii.
WAS IT HARSH AND UNFAIR?
By John W. Moore Imagine the ridicule and the stares! The man from Nazareth, Jesus, the curious teacher from the temple, had just mixed his saliva with dirt from the ground and wiped it on a poor blind man’s eyes! Steps leading down to the Pool of Siloam located at the southern end of the eastern hill in Jerusalem Steps leading down to the Pool of Siloam located at the southern end of the eastern hill in JerusalemThen, on top of that, he told the blind man to walk from where they stood near...
Flying Buttresses
The Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) church in Istanbul is one of the most iconic church buildings in the entire world. The original structure that became the building that we see today was built in the 6th century by Justinian I. The central feature of the church is the massive dome that makes it a landmark in the Istanbul skyline. (Interestingly, some claim that Islamic mosques, now famous for domed architecture, did not feature a dome until after the Islamic conquest saw the Hagia Sophia.) There...
THE WIND WAS AGAINST THEM
A Helpful Look at a Powerful Story The Sea of Galilee from Mount Arbel and the Plains of Gennesaret below The Sea of Galilee from Mount Arbel and the Plains of Gennesaret belowThe disciples of Jesus rowed painfully throughout the night to navigate their ship. In the early morning hours their battered vessel was still some three miles from the shore. When night seems its darkest, the unthinkable gradually unfolded before their eyes. It was a ghostly figure moving upon the surface of the deep,...

Judean Iris: Bloom Where You are Planted
BP IMAGE INSIGHT: I can’t believe I’m writing this. I’m not really a flower enthusiast, but this delicate flower from Israel has an important lesson for living life. It’s known as the Black Iris, and it is a part of a rare and legally protected family of irises found only in an area east of the Mediterranean.

Not One Stone Upon Another
Southwestern corner of the Haram Al-Sharif/Temple Mount Southwestern corner of the Haram Al-Sharif/Temple MountIn 1998 it was my first time to see it. A massive wall made of limestone towered above me with the remains of a wide ancient street at its base. I was standing at the southwestern corner of Jerusalem's famed Temple Mount not knowing then of its significance and place in Bible prophecy. Today, however, I am amazed and enthralled with not only the importance of this ancient wall and...

"Away in a Manger, but Not in a Barn"
From the Iron Age Period a Stone manger discovered at Megiddo in Israel From the Iron Age Period a Stone manger discovered at Megiddo in IsraelAway in a Manger, But Not in a Barn” is part of a title in an excellent article written by Gary Byers who argues that Jesus was born on the lower level of a typical Palestinian home of the first century.

SON OF A DEAD GOD at CAESAREA PHILIPPI
It’s NOT what you might expect. Instead of a dry, dusty place, northern Israel is lush and abundant with vegetation, especially in the area of the Dan Nature Preserve. Nestled at the base of Mount Hermon, the spring and tropical environment of ancient Panias (pictured above) is situated along the geographic region of the fertile crescent near the Golan Heights. It was an ideal location for settlers, farmers, and traders who took advantage of not only the moderate temperatures, but also the...
A Message From King David found in Cave 11
IMAGE INSIGHTS - It is hot, rugged, and home to a some of the rock badgers and wild goats of Israel. With its thousands of small caves and fissures it is an ideal location for finding refuge and escape from an enemy or the heat of the desert sun. This 56 by 12-mile-long barren and inhospitable land is wedged between the Dead Sea and the mountains of Judea and was the setting for several important events of scripture. In this barren location of Judah's territorial allotment, King Herod built...
Qumran: A Discovery Beyond Compare
IMAGE INSIGHTS (Qumran and Isaiah 40:8): Located near the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, the Wadi Qumran is the celebrated site of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Essene community of the Jews. Nearly 1,000 manuscripts of the biblical text (and others) were represented in the thousands of fragments and scrolls written on parchment and papyrus. Discovered in a series of caves between 1947 and 1956, the Dead Sea Scrolls are arguably the most important discovery of the 20th...
THE ARCH OF TITUS
IMAGE INSIGHTS (Arch of Titus and 2 Corinthians 2:14): The Arch of Titus with its depiction of the Jewish menorah and table of showbread reminds us of the fulfillment of a prophecy made by Jesus in Matthew 24. Longing to throw-off Roman hegemony which had been in place in Israel since 63 BC, the Jews revolted and fought bitterly against the armies who had occupied their land. Vespasian and Titus, of the Flavian dynasty that ruled the Roman empire from AD 69-96, reconquered much of the...
GOD OUR MASADA - PSALM 144
IMAGE INSIGHTS: In the rocky terrain northwest of present-day Ein Bokek, a large rugged escarpment known as Masada stands defiantly in the desert territory of the Dead Sea. Located in the lowest region on earth, this natural defensive outpost towers some 1,424 feet above the dry and barren creek-beds below. The word masada is found in the Hebrew Bible and is often translated in English as “stronghold” or “fortress.” This uniquely shaped escarpment was only approachable by a crooked, narrow...
"The Lord Surrounds His People"
IMAGE INSIGHTS: The ancient city of David and Jerusalem’s temple mount (Mount Zion), where Islam’s Dome of the Rock rest today, is lower than the adjacent hills. Biblical Jerusalem is surrounded by three valleys and sits at an approximate elevation of 2,428 feet above sea level. This Bible Land Passages photo was taken from the slope of Mount Scopus which is nearly three hundred feet higher than where the Temple once stood. To the south lies an even higher hill, Eztel Hill (Hill of Evil...
Annoyed by the “Python” at Philippi
Temple of Apollo at Delphi (Bible Passages, all rights reserved) On the slope of Mount Parnassus the temple of Apollo sits with a mysterious aura just longing to confess its ancient secrets. In the centuries leading up to the time of Christ, this sanctuary at Delphi, Greece was alive with the sounds of sacred activity and toxic induced religious utterances emanating from the famed and respected oracles called sybils. Today, only the chatter of curious visitors and an occasional eerie sound of...
Verisimilitude, Celery Crowns, and the Erastus Inscription
By John W. Moore It might be unfamiliar. It might even sound to us like one of those peculiar literary devices discussed in a course on biblical hermeneutics (the science of interpretation). Even pronouncing it can be challenging, but verisimilitude is a helpful term used in such disciplines as philosophy, literature, and law. It is also important to biblical archaeologists as I came to observe in our production of Go Now to Shiloh, when Dr. Scott Stripling spoke of it during excavations in...
The Scourging of Jesus at a Palace of Luxury
By John W. Moore When visitors arrive to the old city of Jerusalem, they are met by a cacophony of sounds and an array of odors and fragrances. They also encounter the hustle and bustle of residents moving through the crowded streets on their way to the market, or perhaps to their favorite restaurant or place of residence.In the northern section of the Muslim and Christian quarters, visitors and residents alike may also find themselves having to navigate a line of Christian pilgrims carrying...
"I Jeroboam Erected this Altar"
by John W. Moore When I first gazed upon what was discovered at Tel el-Qadi in the spring of 1998 my fellow students and I were in awe of what seemed to be testimony to the historicity and reliability of the biblical text. Located at the base of Mount Hermon in the northern territory of Israel, this historic place is home to some of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Beside the discovery of the well-known Tel-Dan stela of the 9th century B.C which mentions...
How I Got A Free Yeti Cooler - Twice!
by Jordan Moore Years ago, my HVAC boss surprised each employee with a generous gift. After several weeks of grueling labor in the hot summer attics, in addition to our wages, each of us received a brand-new Yeti soft-sided cooler. We were grateful and excited because these coolers come at a premium (and most of us would not have used our own money to purchase one). Nearly a decade later, my cooler had been put through the paces. As an avid outdoorsman, its use has ranged from storing fish...
Once. For. All.
Likely the most memorable quote from “The Three Musketeers” is the motto: “all for one and one for all.” But long before Dumas ever penned those words in association with the musketeers, a similar sounding (but different) sentiment was found richly rooted in scripture. Five times, the life and death of Jesus is spoken of as a “once for all” occasion (Rom. 6:10; Heb. 7:27; 9:12, 26; 10:10). Consider the gravity of this three-word statement: "Once"Under the Law of Moses, the High Priest was...
“I Should Have Taken Her Thump”
by Jordan Moore We’ve recently started implementing thumping as a means of discipline for our one-year-old. When she throws a fit and screams out, we’ll thump her lip to communicate that what she used her mouth for was not appropriate. When she throws her food on the floor, we’ll thump her hand to indicate that it was her hand that was not used in a proper way. This helps her to properly associate the consequences with her actions. Naturally, she gets really offended and begins to cry – not...
Infertility in the Bible
Notice that the same difficulties that people experience today with infertility are the very same struggles recorded of those in scripture.
"A CHILD LEFT TO HIMSELF..." by John W. Moore
Nearly forty-five years later, it is as vivid as it was the day it happened. The aroma of bacon cooking over an open fire; the sounds of water cascading over the rocks of the Colorado River; the fishing poles leaning carefully against the old shady oak tree; the feel of the cool morning breeze wafting its way through our tent; my wonderful ol’ Dad sipping on his disgusting ol’ syrup-thick-brewed-river-coffee; and my sweet, dear mother traversing through our campsite keeping everything...
A List of Believers Who Will NOT Be Saved
by Jordan Moore The Apostle John wrote that God “gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (Jn. 1:12). Sadly, not all accept that right. Furthermore, not even all believers will be saved on the day of judgement. Consider these believers that will not be saved: Believers who refuse to accept Jesus as Lord. Belief, in and of itself, does not equal a home in heaven. James says that “even the demons believe and tremble” (Js. 2:19). An individual can fully accept...
God's Word Cannot Be Chained!
by Jordan Moore While no one is sure who first made the statement, there are those in the world who ascribe to the idea that “the Bible is the most dangerous book in the world… [and that] it must be kept under lock and key.” Through history, many attempts have been made to try and thwart the influence of the word of God. Holy scripture has been tossed into fire, outlawed, and blacklisted. However, Christians can thankfully have confidence in the words of Paul to Timothy, that even though Paul...
How did Job endure such heartache?
by Jordan Moore Much is rightfully made of Job’s faith in the midst of terribly difficult trials that he endured at the hand of Satan (Job 1:12). Many curiously wonder how Job was able to survive such heartache, much less continue to remain faithful before God. Perhaps the answer is found in examining who Job was before he had to face his trials: Job was blameless (Job 1:1). Though Job would not have been sinless (Rom. 3:10,23), Job did not have anything that could be laid at his feet for...

Under-appreciated and Overlooked; Part 2
Jordan Moore Perhaps the most under-appreciated and overlooked hymn lyrics of all are the ones that come directly from scripture. Some of those lyrics are overlooked because they are often part of a song that is classified as a devotional song for young people. The sad reality is that when those songs are dismissed and underutilized because of their “newness,” an opportunity for teaching and scripture memorization is missed. Additionally, other scripture song lyrics go unnoticed simply...
Under-appreciated and Overlooked; Part 1
Jordan Moore Have you ever been listening to a song that you’ve heard before, but then something clicks for the first time? Or maybe the radio starts playing a song that you’ve known all of your life, but because of a recent life experience, the lyrics have a fuller meaning now than before? It’s not any different when it comes to psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. In fact, there are thousands of lyrics in our hymnals that are under-appreciated and overlooked. Most often, they are the…...
Souls Longing to Connect with God: Seeing the Church of the Sepulchre in a Different Way
In the early morning hours of Shabbat, there is a calming stillness that lingers over the city of Jerusalem. You can hear the chorus of singing birds, the murmured intonations of worshippers at the Western Wall, and, if you use your imagination, you can hear the sound of human hearts yearning to connect with God in a city known for its religious ardor and aura. As you make your way to the traditional site of the crucifixion and burial of Jesus, you can hear the eager voices and hurried steps...

Whose Way Are You Following?
Jordan Moore After the Exodus, God placed a very simple, yet profound, set of expectations upon the children of Israel. He said, “I am the Lord your God. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not walk in their statutes. You shall follow my rules and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the Lord your God” (Lev. 18:2-4). Consider how this text is applicable to us: Don’t...
The Greatest Fishing Story Ever Told
Jordan Moore The biggest fish I ever caught got away before I could prove it with a picture. It’s a typical fish story, but it’s true! My dad and I landed our biggest catfish ever – upwards of 30 pounds. But before we could weigh it, Dad lifted up the stringer to show it off and to our utter horror, the fish fell from the stringer into the water, never to be seen again. Our blunder? We made the poor decision to run the stringer through the fish’s lip instead of its gills and the weight of...
ISOLATED AND HURTING
Humanity once lived in a pristine world. God’s love allowed freedom of choice, but sin changed everything. Disease and pain entered the scene and the earth became corrupt. Fellowship with God was severed, and a righteous God could not ignore sin, nor could his love neglect the sinner. So, he initiated a plan to punish wrongdoing and restore a fallen world. To be both just and the justifier of sinners, God sent his son to suffer on our behalf and to endure the penalty of sin. At Calvary he was...
BEYOND THE HEIGHTS OF CARMEL, AND TO THE VALLEY BELOW By John W. Moore
Elisha could see the anguished Shunammite woman moving rapidly across the valley. What was troubling her? Was something wrong with her husband, he wondered? Had something terrible happened to her only child? As she made her way across the valley and to the base of the hill, her singular focus drove her to scale the heights of the historic hill where the prophet of God had lodged. Dismissing the inquiries of Elisha’s servant, she maneuvered her way to the feet of this powerful and beloved man...
LOOSENING THE NOOSE OF WORRY
BY JOHN W. MOORE The personal pressures of life and the collective concerns of a people during civil unrest are often overwhelming. Problems in our nation, challenges in our homes at work, and issues within the church can be a bit overwhelming and unsettling. Add to this the daily grind of life, and we can easily experience periods of melancholy and distress. There are bills to pay, health to sustain, children to raise, relationships to maintain, and things to settle, repair, or do. All of...
Lessons from the Undertaker
There are some occupations that undoubtedly require a special kind of a person. Undertaking is certainly one of those occupations.
A MOUNTAIN OF TEARS
Head covered, barefoot and weeping, King David climbed the Mount of Olives in hurried flight. The Kingdom was in turmoil.
A WALL OF SEPARATION
Some barriers are meant for good, but others were destined to be destroyed.
A TOUGH TIME TO BE A CRITIC

When Jesus Asked Questions
While He was teaching, Jesus was recorded to have asked well over 300+ questions of His listeners.
When Parents Act Like Fools
Sometimes it’s required that you see outrageous behavior in others in order to see the error in your own ways. See 2 Samuel 12:1-7
FINDING PEACE ON A ROCKY CRAG
On a rugged, isolated mountaintop, despite the darkness of a cave, David grew in faith and composed some of the world's greatest poetry.
