(Sergio) Hi. My name is Sergio,
and I'm from The Superior Word Church.
My wife and I just moved back to Israel.
So I thought, as we travel around here,
we might as well take some videos and show you
some of the awesome Biblical and historical sites.
We are currently living in Nazareth,
a beautiful city.
Not much has changed since the times of Jesus.
In our first episode, let me take you to Mount Tabor.
♪ (music) ♪
This is the entrance to the...
Church of the...
(Rhoda) Transfiguration.
...Transfiguration on Mount Tabor.
The Church of the Transfiguration was built upon the ruins
of the 12th century Crusader church,
and that one was built upon the ruins
of a 6th century Byzantine church,
an ancient church,
which means it was only 4 or 5 generations after Christ.
So, it's not too far-stretched to say
that this is where the transfiguration happened
because the people living at the time
probably had less confusion
as to the locations of these events.
♪ (music) ♪
They built a Catholic church on top and also an Orthodox.
But we're gonna, for now,
go to the Catholic and see what's inside.

So what happened on this mountain is when
Elijah and Moses and Jesus appeared,
Peter said: Lord, let me build a tent for you,
thinking he is gonna build a tent for Moses, who is the law;
Elijah, who is the prophet;
and Jesus, who is the New Covenant, the Grace.
So, what happened... all of a sudden God says:
This is my Son. Listen to Him.
And Peter raised up his eyes,
and Moses is gone and Elijah is gone.
The law is gone and the prophets are gone.
Only Jesus is left.
What you see in this church,
they've got three domes.
The center dome is Jesus.
On the left there is the Moses dome,
and on the right there is the Elijah dome.
♪ (music) ♪
I've got something more interesting than the church to show you.
Come.
So, since this is the top of the mountain,
we can see the entire Galilee,
the north of Israel,
and the Jezreel Valley.
So this is the left side of the church.
And here we should be able to see
the east side of Israel and the north.
On the other side of the church
we'll be able to see the Jezreel Valley,
Har Megiddo,
Megiddo Mountain or the Armageddon.
But there is something really cool.
If you come over here,
there is a path down
that takes you around the mountain.
Unfortunately, it's locked. A very small lock.
You can probably pick it, but you shouldn't,
because It's illegal.
But, if this was open, there's another entrance.
You could actually go down there,
and there is a very cool path that goes down,
which should reveal lots of archaeological evidence
for life on this mountain.

Thank you for watching.
Can you believe that? Can you believe that?
Yeah. Unbelievable. Wow!
Well, you must be thinking to yourself:
Sergio, why is the video so short?
Well, because it's made to be shown during the break time,
right after Prophecy Update and before the sermon.
So, then you think to yourself:
Well, why then such an abrupt ending?
Terrible!
Well, to that I have to say, it's not an ending.
You see, there will be a continuation next week
when we travel down the Jezreel Valley.
There is Mount Tabor,
and on the very east side of the Kishon River,
the Jezreel Valley.
We're going to travel down it
and towards the Mount of Megiddo,
the Armageddon,
and to Mount Carmel,
where Elijah met with the 450 worshipers of Baal
and took them down to the same River Kishon
to slay them.
Interesting story. Beautiful places.
Meanwhile, enjoy this Arabic coffee recipe.
It is so good, even cats like it.
Right, Fifi?
For this recipe, you will need Nakhleh coffee in the red bags,
the Arabic coffee, Nakhleh.
You can buy it right here in Nazareth.
Step one: take the little pot for coffee.
You can buy this for $1
at any Arabic store in Nazareth.
Fill it with water, enough for two cups of coffee.
Turn the gas on and get it to a boiling point.
Now that the water is boiling,
add two spoons of coffee.
But be very careful.
The moment you add it, it jumps right out of this jar.
You see how it tries to jump out?
All right. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Now, let it stand for two minutes.
