Caesarea Phillipi

Yes there are more than one location in the middle east with the name Caesarea.  They were all named for the big boss, Caesar, the Roman emperor.

Caesarea Phillip is up in the Northern territory of Israel.  It is the location where Jesus asked his disciples, "who do you say that I am?"  

It is a peaceful, park like setting where various religions have come to worship for centuries.

Large cave at the left was known as "the gates of hell."

This area is home to springs that feed the Jordan river.


Ruins of First Century temple built on the site.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
