Or simply, a fisherman’s during the time of Christ? While nothing is certain, this ancient boat of Galilee has become known as &#x27;The Jesus Boat.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>The broadcaster and her family also visited the Mount of Beatitudes in Northern Israel.</p><p>She shared, &quot;Jesus is believed to have delivered the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes are Jesus’s teachings on how He would want us to behave &amp; live.&quot;</p><p>They also drove to the Jordan River where John the Baptist baptized Jesus and a dove descended upon Him.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CmsVjcyIpkN/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A1588118.4%2C%22ls%22%3A560983.6000000001%2C%22le%22%3A561008.8999999999%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Today, millions of believers come here to be baptized as an adult,&quot; Karen said.</p><p>They also visited Tel Megiddo, which is known as &quot;the lost city of Solomon.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Within it are the remains of at least 20 cities, dating from 5000 BC. The excavations in 1929-35 by the University of Chicago reveals a city with gates, homes, horse stables, grain silo &amp; a deep tunnel to keep water that’s 300 steps underground - all built by King Solomon!&quot; she posted.</p><p>&quot;Did you know that ‘Armageddon’ in the Bible actually refers to Megiddo? In the Book of Revelation, Armageddon witnesses the ultimate battle between good &amp; evil before the Day of Judgement ✝️ This site is breathtaking. Must see!&quot; Karen added.</p>
