Temple stairs

The Temple stairs are not all the same size.

This is so that you can not run up to God.

We sat on the ancient stairs where the Yeshua used to go up.
We are looking at the hills.

"I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from?" (Psalm 121:1)

Ben read Psalm 121 and 122. These were the psalms that were sung as the pilgrims came up to Jerusalem.

It was very powerful to hear in this place.

We took a picture in front of the Hulda Gates that are cemented in.

Ritual Baths in front of the stairs.

Faith Lesson:

This is the most likely place for Pentecost. The bible says that the disciples "stayed continually at the temple, praising God" (Luke 24:53). They were in "the House" when Pentecost happened. The Temple is also called "the House." Where would you find enough water to immerse 3000 people?

It is interesting to note that on the day the law came down in the desert, with Moses, 3000 people lost their lives. At Pentecost, 3000 people were saved.
