Golgotha- The hill just above Jeremiah’s Grotto, is possibly the true site of Calvary (Calvary is the English-language name for Golgotha). Jesus was crucified outside the city gate (Hebrews 13:12). Golgotha overlooks the ancient main road that led to Jericho and Damascus in New Testament times.
This hill is also known as Jeremiah’s Grotto and is the traditional site where Jeremiah wrote the book of Lamentations. This is also the traditional site where Stephen was martyred.
Mark 15:22
They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull).
John 19:41
At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
It can be viewed from inside the Garden Tomb site. I took this picture from inside the Garden Tomb compound.

I heard that the ARK OF THE COVENANT
is hidden in a cave just under where
Jesus was crucified and his blood ran down
through an earthquake crack onto the
mercy seat.
Do you know anything about it?
I understand that it was Jeremiah that put
it there to keep it safe from the Babylonian
Nebuchadnezzar.

Brad,
I was doing some research for my sermon on Sunday and ran across your website with a picture at the top that looks like the Sea of Galilee. Is it? What is the story behind the picture? May I used your picture in a PowerPoint presentation, if I give you credit?

Hi Ray,
The picture you are referring to is a stock picture provided by Word press so I am not sure where it was taken, but it is by Ed Merrit http://www.edmerritt.com/ .
You can use the picture of the Sea of Galilee I took in December.

A small description of the picture is there on this post.
In Christ,
