The Olive Tree was our hotel there. The men are typical of those we saw everywhere since it was Pentecost. The model is of the Old City as it would have been during the time of Christ. Hillel, our guide, told us that the Tabernacle was one and a half times larger than the Dome of the Rock. You can truly sense God's presence in this beautiful city so acutely. One of the many added blessings of the trip was the occasion to view the Dead Sea Scrolls of the entire book of Isaiah. It is the only book that exists in its entirety from this period. It was being displayed instead of remaining in its usual guarded and protected location below because President Bush had wanted to see it. It will go underground and out of view from the public once again at the end of this month.
