Mount Hermon

Mount Hermon has 3 snowy peaks that melt to feed the Jordan. It is the most northern boundary of the Promised Land and is called the Eyes of Israel because of its ability to serve as an early warning post. The winding roads to our destination brought us face to face with what David saw when he penned Psalm 133. Hermon captures massive precipitation that brings life and fertility to all of Israel.

Ps 133:1-134:1 (AMP)

1 BEHOLD, HOW good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

2 It is like the precious ointment poured on the head, that ran down on the beard, even the beard of Aaron [the first high priest], that came down upon the collar and skirts of his garments [consecrating the whole body]. [Ex 30:25,30.]

3 It is like the dew of [lofty] Mount Hermon and the dew that comes on the hills of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, even life forevermore [upon the high and the lowly].

In much the same way, unity among one another brings life and fruitfulness. Disunity cuts off the flowing river of the Holy Spirit that benefits not only yourself but all those around you.

Our purpose was to meet new friends among a Druze village. These are people who are descendants from Jethro, Moses' father-in-law. We had an awesome time of fellowship. You can see the photos. They keep to many traditions that are centuries old.

One video is of our class of English students. They were more advanced that I expected! Mostly they needed to hear actual Americans speaking the language. They can now say "Hey, howya doin" in proper southern English.
