Great series, guys. I'm using your channel to learn about Israel and its been immensely helpful Thanks for your great work!
Our pleasure and honor, N. Young! :)
Same!! Israel is so beautiful! Jesus bless you!!
I love you guys. What a blessing to see my Lord's home through the eyes of two of His beloved followers, that can share the history with us as well.🌙🤗💛
Your lords home? 😂 you sound pathetic
Crypto Man
Lol!
You sound hostile!
Am I supposed to somehow 'feel' the way you perceive me to be? Or simply Know that i am Known by my own Redeemer?
You're argument lacks Substance, my friend. It lacks the Mustard Seed, and the Seed of Life, Light and Holy Spirit Grace.
I shall pray for your lack of insight and aggressive tendencies.. sorry.. it's already done, so no use arguing against the Lovingkindness of LOVE & Light, I'm afraid. The power of death is in the fear of it. My fear died nearly 2000 years ago.. then He Rose to show me that the Power of Life is not bound by a temporal dying, neither is it held by the darkness of Tartarus or the corruption of the ravages of Time.
But you do you, my friend and..
Bon chance!
Blessings!
Pay close attention to the soundtrack. Imagine this video without the music. Every aspect of Sergio & Rhoda's videos are magnificent! And as always their humor will crack you up!
Oh yeah, I forgot, snake road or cable car, CHEAP!
Means a lot Andrew, thank you so much!! :D
To be in the Land where God Walked with His People!!
@Pasdar CHRIST said "No man takes my life.. I lay down my life.. " He willingly made a way to REDEEM US ALL TO HIMSELF. He is the ONLY REDEEMER for every sinner's soul... ACCEPT HIM NOW
@Pasdar it is the unspicable love of God for all
Indeed... I can even feel it even if im just watching thousand of miles from Israel...My ultimate goal in my life is to spend the lenten season there :)
@@sanjose6018 Meh!

Absolutely outstanding video work. Simply marvelous. Best effects, best narration, best camera work. Best video ever!
They're the best at just about everything!!!
Except for preaching. You got us all there, buddy.
Steve, agreed, and he is better at falling from roofs and staying alive!! So a couple of talents there at least hahaha!! Thank you both so very much!! You make our lives so delightful by being part of them
Rosita Credo visited in a pilgrimage last Nov. 2017. I took the cable car at 71 with a cane but I reach the top of the rock mountain. Thank you so much.
Loved the way he said we're saving thirty shekels!
Couldn't agree more. Not 1 video that hasn't been amazing.
My wife and I love you guys, and your videos! Thank you for teaching us about the HOLY LAND. And what a beautiful display of GOD'S HOLY COVENANT of marriage! You're an example and inspiration to all who want to live a GODLY marriage
Just returned from Israel, went to Masada took the cable car and you show us more of Masada on the video

Thank you, thank you, thank you Sergio & Rhoda!! Just love these videos but love you guys more 💕 The Lord bless you and YES, please bring Fifi back 😊
Jacqui we love you and are so blessed by your and Bruce's friendship!! Thank you so much for your encouragement
Back in December 2008 my wife and I went to Israel. First trip for mr and third for my wife. Amazing country and trip. We rode the cable car up and down. After discovering your videos, it makes me want to go back even more.
Thank you, Sergio and Rhoda, for uplifting more my faith and understand more the Bible. May God Bless you more than you expect.
What a beautiful and historic place. Loved it!
Thank you .... ☺
It's beautiful ok
Love all the episodes. You are both such beautiful people. Thank you letting us see the hot spots through your eyes. Toda Raba. Shalom and keep them common.🎊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🤗🤗😍😍
Great series
Thank you Sergio and Rhoda for one of my favorite channels on youtube! Appreciate all your hard work in bringing the people, places and culture of the Bible alive to us--those less fortunate to not live in the land. May the Lord fill your hearts with HIS Shalom.
Thank you so much and God bless you and keep! Appreciate your encouragement 😊
Totally mind Blowing mesmerising Epic Masada!!
Beautiful footage - you Really captured some gorgeous scenery there
You guys are awesome. You’re channel makes me want to come visit even more!
I visited Masada in the 90s and the cable car did not go all the way to the top then, so we had to walk UP the old road!....all those stairs! Now THAT was hard work, but worth every step. I love your videos, they bring back wonderful memories. Thank you.
Second viewing. This time, after having personally walked there and after having looked down on the Roman fortification, I knew that Sergio was actually among the Roman walls irritating future archeologists. And this time I could feel again the impact that the Lord has had upon this fine couple like He has had on my wife and me. Thank you, and hello again from Utah, Sergio and Rhoda.
my husband and I LOVE watching your videos! We are from the other side of the world (Papua New Guinea in the Pacific). Thank you for the awesome, entertaining, educational videos you publish. We love the humour you add! Thanks and God bless!
Thank you so much, Tapioca, so kind of you! Wow you are indeed on the other side of the world!!
I climbed Masada! Watched the sun rise over the Dead Sea! Incredible. No lift then. This was 1998. Then climbed back down and floated in the Sea. Went to Jerusalem and Galilee. Backpacking. Just deciding on the day where to go and staying in hostels. Oh to be young again!!! Guys. When our Lord returns to His throne we will all be there to worship Him 🙏 🙌 thank you Jesus for saving me. Maranatha from 🇬🇧
The cable car. It is far too hot to trek up by foot. Thanks for all the hard work. You guys make my Sunday evenings special.
Thank you so much Susan! 💖
I love your videos. Thank you for what you do. They allow me to reliv my time in the Holy Land from 2014 especially now as I have been battling ALS from my wheelchair for the past three years. Bless you two!
How you two Keep Outdoing yourselves is AMAZING !!! Excellent +++ !!! I must Vote for Cable Car to / FROM Masada . . . but a shekal saved IS a shekal earned !! { cheap? . . . Nah!! LOL } Love you !!! The Gospel: 'Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures: And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures" 1 Cor.15:3-4
Thank you so much Kate!! Amen! Much love to you
Amen. GO, Kate!
I took cable car, up and down, January 2014. Thanks for sharing these great memories. Perth Australia.

Have a great lunch after a hard long walking journey downward to the nearby.
cafe..Great moment.Experiencing the fun and joy could offer during the descending walk..God bless.
You 2 are wonderful. I recently visited israel and really enjoy your adventures and humor!!!
Two years after my previous comment and I am now going to Israel. I watched this video again because I plan to make the hike up on the Snake Path. Now I know what I'm in for! Thanks for the heads-up and the history lesson.
Wow great place I wish I see all this place u showing in your video I feel I'm very blessed thank you so much God bless you and your family
I walked UP that Snake Road in 1972 on a tour of the area with guides from kibbutz Ramat Rachel.
Amazing! Enjoying every video. Thanks, beloveds.
I did like you did. Took the ride up and the path on the way down. I had the privilege to visit Israel in 2020 before covid. I hope to visit again one day. Such a beautiful place. Thank you for your Chanel. I love learning about the history of Israel.
I just happened across your video and immediately subscribed. I can’t wait to watch all of them and share with friends. Excellent and I would’ve walked down, just to see how it was done so long ago.
I love your videos I’m so wanting to see the new ones ! Thank you ☺️
Great job on everything, keep the videos coming I've watched them all
I just found your channel, and I really love it. Thanks guys, you made a great video. Thousand 👍..
Sergio, Rhoda, and crew,Wonderful video again. I love your trips. The drone photography is excellent. Please don't turn volume down as another wanted. It's perfect!! So many videos are so low I can hardly hear them at top volume. If too loud can be turned down, but when at max, cannot turn them up. Enjoyed your trip so much, I can't even imagine the work you put into them. Deeply appreciate. Love you all, Brenda
Thank you so much Brenda! Much love to you and God bless you!
You both are awesome!!!!!! Have loved this show for a long time
Thank you two very much for the amazing narration and videos of every place you have been visiting in Israel! I pray that GOD anoints and moves mountains so that we may be able to visit Israel in April 2019!!! I want to see and walk and experience where Our Savior Jesus Christ once preached and walked over 2k years ago! You guys did such a great job on your videos! I cannot wait to experience this journey firsthand! May Our Lord Jesus continue to Bless you two on more continued experiences journeying through more of Israel as some people are not able to afford this trip, but can only pray to venture there one day. You two have been able to portray it and share it with the rest of the world whom some are not able to do so, so thank you for sharing it with us! I appreciated very much!
Thank you Sergio and Rhoda!!!!
Loved this video. Such a tragic story. My way down would be the trail. Thanks for sharing it.
God bless you, guys! Consistently wonderful work! Your videos sometimes bring me to tears. Thank you for bringing Israel closer to me in Arizona!
Thank you so much!!
I adore these videos guys! Please keep making them.
Definitely the cable car! Unless I want to meet Jesus on the climb up ! 🤔 Well, I guess that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Great videos. Keep making more & more videos until Jesus’s return.
Nancy Fuller thank you so very much 😊🤗😊
Thank you for the scenic experience of such notorious and important historical sites
Lovely scenery and soundtrack please do leave a link in the description, you guys are awesome much love from Ghana 🇬🇭 West Africa. Much אהבה
This was an awesome episode! I really love your videos and how you showcase this amazing land in such a beautiful way.
Awesome and almost terrifying to see Masada and know some of it's vast history. Thank you for another beautiful video. Shalom.
I am so enjoying your videos. Your videos have that perspective of someone who lives there rather than that of a foreign tourist guide. I love seeing the everyday life, the food, the markets, etc. I enjoyed meeting your parents and family and friends and watching Rhoda’s father make hummus. I’m going to make some using your recipe! I have always wanted to go to the Holy Land but now more than ever. Thank you for sharing your life and the wonderful place you live.
Love your videos.. great editing, music.
I am visiting Israel in September 2019 and am absolutely loving your videos giving me so much insight into what to expect. Absolutely outstanding, so thank you so much - I am blessed by them.
Irene Roberts I hope you went to Israel in September. No-one knew then what was to come with the virus as I spent my vacation in Germany and Spain thinking I would return there this year
@@goforgold7082 Hi there, yes we did get to Israel - albeit 2 days late because of the British Airways Pilot strike. Was sad to miss 2 days of our itinerary but we had an amazing time. Was so wonderful to walk where Jesus walked and to see the places I have read so much about. Certainly brought the Bible alive and now when I read it I now have a new perspective and context. Would love to re-visit some day. Hope you get to go - maybe next year?
@@ireneroberts1730 I was in Israel in 2012. Stayed in a room with an amazing view over the church where they reckon Jesus was crucified although I think it may have happened outside the muslim gate where the garden tomb is. Unfortunately I did not know about this garden and wanted to see the place of the Skull. Was very disappointed to find a busy bus stop below it, it simply did not go together with the place where Jesus may have been crucified. I walked on my own the whole distance around the wall of the Old City and was a little scared on the Eastern side as I had to walk through all the tombs there and you could not see if someone was hiding there. Had an amazing experience at the church in the garden of Gethsemane where I had to walk through a group of singing tourists where all my hair stood up, I could literally feel His presence there. I was with a small group to visit the church where the "Our Father" prayer was displayed in all the languages of the world and mentioned to the one girl that I could not find my language which is not English. Unknown to me she went and told the group leader, so a few moments later the caretaker came to me, opened the church itself as this section was locked, and showed me the prayer in my language. It was really special as when I exit, the group asked me whether I found it and they all shouted and clapped hands. A guy told me to visit the underground route next to the Wailing Wall. I can really recommend it for your next visit if you have not seen it. You pay an entrance fee and the guide explains to you as you walk right next to the most amazing huge foundation walls. You past the section where behind the wall they say the Holy of Holies is. Dont know if it is true but someone explained to me that the city was demolished a few times and thereafter they would build on top of the rubble, so the Via Dolorosa is not really the route Jesus would have walked as it is now buried underneath the city, and with this tour I understood, as we walked on the pavers which would have been the city 2000 years ago. Jerusalem was simply awesome and I would love to return, unfortunately with the lockdown my business ( self catering guest house) has taken a severe blow and I think my country will become a very dangerous place very soon due to political instability as there are millions of hungry and angry masses. No way to get out because our currency fell through the roof. My apology for the lengthy message
I always enjoy your videos. Since I am unable to visit these amazing places myself, I can’t thank you enough!! You bring biblical archeology to life for me! Please keep it up..
God bless you guys!
Wonderful , beautiful shot of pictures . I love the way you do it ! Bless you !
Definitely would love to live there: need plane fares for many in our families ❤️✝️⚔️🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you, u both are generous & loving to give us such joy with these videos of where JESUS was❤️❤️❤️, Nancy, USA
I can't go so I really enjoy seeing these videos
Wonderful video, Rhoda and Sergio specially when you used the drone, we just been there in Masada this June 2018 , amazing place, unbelievable story and by watching the video again the way it was captured is amazing , we met Rhoda in Nazareth Village, she is a wonderfull presenter, more blessing from God to your video
I love Masada !! Thank you for a beautiful video...
Sergio and Rhoda, what beautiful photography with the drone. I was blessed to go to Masada at least 3 times and found it fantastic with such rich history. But the photos from above brings out all the beauty of the rocks, the foundations and formations of this place. Thank you for all your hard work and teaching. Rhoda, you shared things I had not learned before. I could not personally handle the trail up---it was over 90 degrees that day---but we cheated and took the "car trail" . Love you both---thanks again. looking forward to next teaching. jan
Jan, Thank you for the comments you put here. We miss and love you so much, and I know I speak for the whole family!!! It was a very nice weather when we were there.
Hello Sergio @Rhoda,much appreciated, all your hard work in making and bringing these posts to us🇮🇱
Thank you Daren!!
You are lucky you went up by cable car. When I went to masada about 12 years ago I walked up by foot and I remember it was so hard that my legs were shaking by the time I reached the top!
This is my favorite RUclips channel. Your videography and story telling is amazing. I am struck by how barren the landscape is in this episode. And what a view!
Greetings from Albuquerque NM. We love you. Thank you for taking us on your journey and God protect and bless you always.
50 years ago the snake road now cable car up and down! Ive been power watching your videos ive yet to see one i havent loved! God Bless
Yaaay! You guys hit 80k! Love this channel!! You’re both so adorable! Thank you for helping to bring the Word to life!
Thank you so very much! It wouldn’t be possible without your encouragement, likes, and subscription! Thank you!
Yes! Make America Big Again! Love your videos so much, you guys! Blessings to you and yours. 🇺🇸💘
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you brother and sister and all your team do good job God bless you all
Found you guys a couple weeks ago. Can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your explorations/ videos. Thank you!💓🙏😊 Keep 'em coming and may Father bless you beyond your wildest dreams! Bark at a!
Spell check! Baruk ata!😂
Thank you Sergio & Rhoda for all your videos and information on Israel.God Bless
I was here during our pilgrimage with church members
You have showed me so much and when I read the Bible I can see the places in my mind where it happened. Beautiful videos from a beautiful couple. Thank you so much!
Awesome. To God be all the glory. Thank you.
Love your videos Sergio & Rhoda! The fun (and interesting) and interesting commentary is great. Your camera work is brilliant (particularly the drone shots!). Looking forward to getting back there later this year. Thanks for whetting my appetite!
Thank you so much! If you come by Nazareth, please us know, perhaps we could say hi! sergio@snrisrael.com
Thank you Sergio & Rhoda. I Love Your'e Series, Episodes. I'm new as a viewer to your'e Series, and I absolutely Love it!
👍P.S. As for my choice at Masada, The Snake Road. Mikail Bumpus
Love watching you guys!
Just now seeing this video lol I love
You guys so much! I have learned a lot! Keep it up! God bless!
Get tour! Thank you for such beautiful scenery and all the information!
Our pleasure Sharon
Me and my friends tried running up the snake path; I think only one ran all the way 😂. But we nearly beat our other friends in the cable car, so it was worth it. And I was really disappointed that we were in too much of a hurry coming back, so had to take the cable; I was really looking forward to running back down all the way! The snake road every time! Good times, great memories!
Excellent video ! Thank you very much for your expertise and creativity in such a beautiful land.
wow! I've been there and loved it. Yet after seeing your take on Massada, I feel like I've seen such amazing new angles on it.
So interesting and beautiful! Thank you!
When I was 26 my friend and I walked up in the middle of summer, it was so hot. We slept at the top and saw a beautiful sunset and sunrise. At night it was so quiet you could hear the soldiers in Jordan. Today I don't think I could even take the cable car ride up as I now struggle with hights. Great video
Great video. Thanks. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that before yesterday, I had never heard of Masada! I'm over 65 years old, and a Christian. My introduction to this awesome place was through a gun magazine article on the new "Masada" handgun produced by IWI (Israeli Weapons Industry); the gun being named in honor of the unbelievable Jewish people of this magnificent fortress who chose death over slavery. I have the most profound respect and admiration for Israel and the Israeli people. I don't know that I'll ever make it to Israel, but it is one of the very few travel destinations outside of the US that I would really like to visit. Thanks again for the video.
Love these videos!
Definitely cable car! My wife and I were there in 2009 and rode the cable car. Thank you for your videos. We're seeing places and learning things we didn't see or learn on our trip.
I am watching your videos about a week ago and I really appreciate it because it enables me to visit ancient places in Israel which I dreamed to visit in the future.. I think I prefer going by foot on snake path to Masala. God bless you both.
Your video is superbly done. Masada ‘s history is unbelievable.
You guys are great! Love your videos~
Thank you for this video’
Masada is a beautiful, unusual place and I'm so glad you did a video of it. What a privilege to be able to visit there. I very much appreciate your footage of the grounds to give an idea where they lived. Great video.
You two are great! Very well done! Thanks so much & keep making videos! I vote for the cable car, but my wife wants to walk down.
Hiked up ..cable car down .. everyone should hike it once ..beautiful view and higher than the birds fly ! :) thanks
Wow, really well done, and sad about the people, but, brilliantly done video, visuals just fantastic!
Sorry for being the late one but just found you. As an older person it is refreshing to see the life of Jesus in you. Well Done ! 💎💎
