A few more important sites in Israel...

In the Bible, when it mentions hell, the word they use for it is Gehenna. This photo is of the valley of Gehenna. After a cursory search on the internet (avoiding Wikipedia as much as possible of course), Gehenna or Hinnom Valley is where either the trash of Jerusalem was burned and/or was where children were sacrificed to false gods. Regardless, this valley is called Gehenna. So, we've been to hell and back! :O)


On a higher note, this is Jaffa! This is where Peter had his vision that allowed us to eat whatever we want (yay!) and where Jonah got on his boat to go the wrong way before being swallowed by a big fish! He probably got spat up right about there! :O)
