I have found a mathematical Holy Grail, 935-QKK, as a consequence of a treasure I found as a child exploring the barn on the estate of Sir Edmund Vivian Gabriel. He died in Antigua a decade before I was born. He and Gen Edmund Allenby famously dismounted their horses to walk through Jerusalem, They took a side entrance at a famous gate in order to demonstrate their humility to the people of Jerusalem and to Christ, who never rode her streets on anything higher than a donkey. I came here through your fascinating story of the Arch of Titus and her gold menorah with her seven candles. The candles match seven locations (intervals) on the crossbar of the mathematical grail which offer a sum of 314. While the grail offers 13 distinct locations within the confines of her orbital path seven locations are illuminated by starting at the middle and passing over in turn the others. Their sum is 314 which I discovered while on a Pi Day mission to reveal the secrets of Passover Pi (Pi x 100) or 314.. A mathematician recommended I explore the concept of the menorah matrix after reading my essay on Passover Pi. What a surprise that considering the menorah’s design revealed another 314 and a further development to the idea that Passover is tied to the concept of symmetry-breaking and forming at the heart of regeneration, and the Arrow of Time. https://www.quora.com/Can-I-Reach-a-Star-Using-Passover-Pi-314/answer/Prince-Blake-1

Hi Ferrell, I am not just a fan of travelling. I also love learning about different cultures and lifestyles. I share my experience travelling in India http://myjourneythroughindia.wordpress.com/ .Loved your blog and the way you have presented your travelogues in words. Hope to be able to write blogs like you someday.
You have spent huge efforts in this Blog. In Arabic, after someone exerts an huge effort, we say, “Allah Yateek Alafeah”. (May God give you strength). Thanks 🙂
Dr. Jenkins, how does one get in touch with you? I have unexpectedly been given the opportunity to spend about 10 days in Israel. Of those, I have bout 4 to see things. I would love to get your input on “must see” areas.
Thank you this is very helpful! I’ll be staying at larger hotels in other parts of Israel, so I thought maybe looking for a more independent place by Galilee could be fun. Just out of curiosity, what of the larger First Class hotels do you go to in the Galilee area?
Sorry, but I am unable to offer any suggestions about b & b’s. With my tours I stay at First Class hotels. I can recommend highly the Ron Beach Hotel (http://www.ronbeachhotel.com/) a short distance north of Tiberias. The pleasant family run hotel is right on the Sea of Galilee.
Are there any places (b and b’s or hotels) you recommend staying at around the Sea of Galilee?
Ferrell, lots of your lectures are available as part of the Florida College Annual Lectures at Logos Bible Software. It’s currently available for pre-order — check it out!

Hey Ferrell!
I am a pastor and lead study trips to Israel and have really enjoyed your passion and accuracy in reporting your findings in Israel as they relate to the biblical narrative. I thought you might enjoy the book I wrote and website that has on-location videos shot in Israel from the book of John following Jesus’ life. If you would like a book to read or review I would be glad to send one to you or I can send you the ebook.

Hi There,
I visited your blog site recently. And I must say that your site has got really good and worthy information. While reading your articles I found them to be really good and informative.
I work as a content writer for many mackays self catering and so I was just wondering if I can do something for your wonderful site. I would like to give you a unique article of around 500 words on any topic related to travell for your blog. I assure you that the article will be published only on your site.
I won’t be charging you a penny, but in return all I need is just one link within the article.
It would be my pleasure if I can do something for your blog.
Please feel free to get in touch with me regarding this anytime if you are interested.
Looking forward for your positive reply.

your comment about the Tischendorfletter at St.Catherine monastery
The letter and the explenation of the monks must be seen in a total new light!
The new discovery of the documents related to the Codex Sinaiticus in the archives of the Russian foreign ministry was a big surprise! Scholars hoped, that these documents could appear cause of the international digital-project. A scholar-dream comes true! These donation documents which show, that the Codex Sinaticus was given by the monks as a gift to Alexander II. you can find online with pictures and translations http://www.nlr.ru/eng/exib/CodexSinaiticus/zah/
Worth to study! Everyone can now see, that Tischendorf was an honorably man and not a thief!
You can also find inline the letter of guarantee by Prince A.B. Lobanov-Rostovsky to Archbishop and the community of Mt Sinai Monastery,
from 10th September 1859, which was part of the agreement in Tischendors receipt. see here the picture:
http://www.nlr.ru/eng/exib/CodexSinaiticus/zah/1_1.html
Working on the letters of Tischendorf (still in the posession of the Tischendorf-Family) shows also: it was a difficult donation but it was correct done! Hopefully all the letters of Tischendorf can be published in the near future for the scholary world. Alexander Schick http://www.bibelausstellung.de

I was just wondering what comments you could make about traveling to Turkey. I am planning on going in March and was interested in know how safe it is to travel there. I was also wondering if you still conduct tours.
Your blog is awesome. Keep up doing a great job! I am currently studying at Tel Aviv University and planning my trip to the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights. Definitely inspired by your stories and pictures.
Hi Ferrell, you left me a comment asking about Syria photos. I certainly do have some from my recent trip, but I couldn’t find an email address at which to contact you. Anything in particular that you’re looking for?
wow, i’m so jealous.
you’re my idol. I can’t wait until i can get out in the world! 🙂
Nice Blog!! I’m about writing a blog about Turkish Life. This gave me good ideas. Thanks..
That must be cool that you study about the bible and travel to other places!
Dr. Jerry,
I am interested in the distances between cities and the time it would have taken to travel to each of the cities on Paul’s preaching journeys. Do you have any information regarding this?
Thanks,
Maranatha
I esteem Dr. Lewis highly. He was one of my teachers at Harding while working on the M.Th. It is because of his influence that I have endeavored to continue my work on biblical battles.
I wish Dr. Lewis well he has influenced many poeple in their search for the Lord.
Dr. Jerry
Oh wow!
Very interesting indeed.
My husband is currently at a seminary in NC and would find your blog to be fascinating.
We used to live in Citrus County up until a year ago.
Have a blessed day!
