That was so cool. I saw that too. Big ups to the ladies that dedicated themselves to bringing the tree back successfully. Just more proof to me personally of Gods existence. I'm walking proof, so I dont need anyone else's proof but that just solidified my belief in God even more. ❤
I was very fortunate to have been on Masada three times in 1995, one morning we got up there before sunrise and we all just sat on the ancient walls, everyone silent, and watched the sun come up over the dead sea. It was magical.
I was just at Masada this Feb 2024 , I left there with the thought I think way to SMALL . I went to Israel to support the people and help rebuild places that were damaged . I had NO fear while there , even went to the musical site where the brutal massacre happened and you could hear the explosions in Gaza . Israel needs our help now . GO NOW AND HELP . now now now .
Thanks for sharing that. I have always wanted to visit Israel and see some of places of Biblical history. After the October attacks I thought, "I've missed my chance". It's encouraging to hear that you felt safe there and that now I could go and perhaps make an impact for good. God bless you. I stand with Israel.
There are so many places of wonder in the "Holy Land" including Masada that I would love to visit but the Middle East is always unstable and obviously not safe at the present time. I also heard someone found date palm seeds at Masada and and even after 2000 years a few of the seeds were still viable and they managed to grow some palms from them. If they Jews had just acted with more wisdom with regards to the Romans so much bloodshed could have been avoided. The constant fight against the Romans was misguided and futile. To this day, the great stones of the temple lay exactly where they fell 2000 years ago and much of the ramp the Romans built to reach Masada is still there. Thanks to Pastor Gary and the Incredible Journey team for taking us there.
I just returned from Israel Feb 20th , being there for about two days for the first time . I felt safe . Now is the time to go and help Israel . I went there to help rebuild , and was loved for it .

A Jew prays to God, please God i need your help, we are your children! A Palestinian prays to God and says “Please God i need your help, we are your children too! “ all extremes are bad God bless those who want peace and justice regardless of which side they are on!
Nancy, obviously you don’t know of any people who have successfully committed suicide!!!! No one knows what is happening in their life at the time of the intended suicide. It obviously wasn’t a great time. He was part of prophecy though 😊
The term, "zealot," seems to be used in this documentary using the modern, possibly English, definition, which is used to describe people who are fanatical and uncompromising in pursuit of their goals. These goals can be religious, political, or social (or something else, I suppose). The Zealots (with a capital Z) were specifically a Jewish group, and it was mostly a religious one. Of course, in those days, religion and politics were tightly interwoven, there wasn't a distinction. The Sicarii mentioned in the video, were a splinter group of the Zealots that took things to a higher level of intensity. They were, in modern terms, extremists, and possibly, terrorists. But again, the lines between moderates and extremists were much less well defined, and we're talking about people and events from several millenia ago, and it is hard not to judge them from our own points of view.
Historical sites are always great places to visit, especially when you have an understanding of the history. If you do get to see this place, please come back and give us your feedback
What? Why? If anything it proves …the country was destroyed the temple destroyed …that’s what happens when conquered…. Conquering happened way before the razing of the temple… if that was the case then Germany had the right to claim the land in France and Hungary. Suicide isn’t honorable. That’s what cult do…..similar to Jim jones…very similar
Unlike the Jewish freedom fighters of the first century A.D,King David never faced any army like the Romans who had already conquered like half of the known world.
The Zealots were bad news, both for the Jews and the Romans. There was no subtle diplomacy in him , Masada, only hate for Romans. But this alone was not enough to fight the Romans, Masada wanted to cause a war between Romans and Jews firmly believing that the Jewsih god would then destroy the Roman army. He was wrong , no Jewish God came from the Temple Mount to destroy the Romans.. The later then extracted a terrible revenge
Good question friend, There were two main sources of water: Cisterns - There were over 40 cisterns that collected rainwater. The cisterns could hold over 40,000 cubic meters of water. This stored rainwater provided the main water supply. Herod's Northern Palace - At the northern tip of Masada was a palace built by Herod the Great. It had bath houses that were fed by aqueducts carrying fresh water to Masada from springs on the other side of the Dead Sea.
To get the idea how was it then you must read "The Jewish war" written by Josephus Flavius ,Jew, Roman citizen,who participated in the events of that war.Then you get the real story.
Good Today ! __" Jesus the Christ of GOD ", a simple trueth easily found in the early Writtings of the Jewish Be-Livers of the " Way, Trueth, Life ". __humbly, neighbour daniel __p.s. thanks for the increase of knowledge in this our troubled time .
The LORD brought me to see Massada last Feb 2023. Your video, Pastor, even gave more value to that name now for me. YES! YAHWEH IS OUR ONLY MASSADA! Thanks Pastor.
Pastor Gary, with a heart for the Jewish people, this story could have taken a very different direction. The Zealots were not the last Jews standing. While those noble warriors took refuge at Masada, the early Rabbinic Sages went off to places like Yavneh (Jamnia) and the Galilee. They chose the path of preserving God's Torah and the Jewish way of life. In faith, they did indeed see God as their rock and redeemer and, besides God, the Jews of today have them to thank for our physical and spiritual endurance. If you want to talk about an "incredible journey," there are few greater than how Jewish faith and devotion survived exiles, political powerlessness, persecution, and slaughter throughout the Christian and Muslim ages. I entreat you to recognize the faith of others and how God operates among them.
I so enjoy Gary Kent's retelling of Bible history. The photography puts you right back in time

I was fascinated that they found seeds from a Date tree and planted them 2000 years later and they grew.
That was so cool. I saw that too. Big ups to the ladies that dedicated themselves to bringing the tree back successfully. Just more proof to me personally of Gods existence. I'm walking proof, so I dont need anyone else's proof but that just solidified my belief in God even more. ❤

Masada is an incredible place to visit and one should think deeply about the history of the place before and during the visit.
Thank you for your feedback.
Yes this is a special historic place.
We are delighted you enjoyed the program :). God bless you
The explaination of Masada and the Jewish Zealots were told simply. God is our strongehold our Masada. Glory to God!
Let none of us confuse a historical account with a biblical event explained within the scriptures. Jesus was, is, and always be the answer. For them and us.

There is no honor in suicide 😢. God had already brought His Son to give salvation. No where in scripture did God approve of suicide 😢😢😢
Nancy, obviously you don’t know of any people who have successfully committed suicide!!!! No one knows what is happening in their life at the time of the intended suicide. It obviously wasn’t a great time. He was part of prophecy though 😊
Technically they each were killed by another person, except the last person. If that makee any difference, I do not know.

DO YOU GUYS THINK I SHOULD GO VISIT?
Historical sites are always great places to visit, especially when you have an understanding of the history. If you do get to see this place, please come back and give us your feedback
They messed with the wrong legion . The 10th was no joke . Like Shah mohammed II , antaginizing Ghenghis Khan ........it did not go well .
I know aout Masada, am listening to see if you actually know.
Thank you for your feedback. What was your verdict?
palestinians dislike this video because it negates their claim over the land of palestine which khalid conquered in 636 AD
What? Why? If anything it proves …the country was destroyed the temple destroyed …that’s what happens when conquered…. Conquering happened way before the razing of the temple… if that was the case then Germany had the right to claim the land in France and Hungary.
Suicide isn’t honorable. That’s what cult do…..similar to Jim jones…very similar
Caaninites have the better claim or Rome
Unlike the Jewish freedom fighters of the first century A.D,King David never faced any army like the Romans who had already conquered like half of the known world.
The Zealots were bad news, both for the Jews and the Romans. There was no subtle diplomacy in him , Masada, only hate for Romans. But this alone was not enough to fight the Romans, Masada wanted to cause a war between Romans and Jews firmly believing that the Jewsih god would then destroy the Roman army. He was wrong , no Jewish God came from the Temple Mount to destroy the Romans.. The later then extracted a terrible revenge
If Israel were to follow God's plan from Genesis, which was for them to rule over all the Fertile Crescent, Rome could not have conquered them
Did Masada have a fresh water supply? If not it's a dumb fortress.
Good question friend,
There were two main sources of water:
Cisterns - There were over 40 cisterns that collected rainwater. The cisterns could hold over 40,000 cubic meters of water. This stored rainwater provided the main water supply.
Herod's Northern Palace - At the northern tip of Masada was a palace built by Herod the Great. It had bath houses that were fed by aqueducts carrying fresh water to Masada from springs on the other side of the Dead Sea.
@@TheIncredibleJourney ty for the detailed answer.
Y yes sa it sure did when it rained the water was collected and stored in reservoirs called a cistern
Josephus was a traitor
To get the idea how was it then you must read "The Jewish war" written by Josephus Flavius ,Jew, Roman citizen,who participated in the events of that war.Then you get the real story.
