The Doorstep to Israel - The Coastal Plains

The Doorstep to Israel - The Coastal Plains | The Holy Land | Season 2 Episode 4

Explore the beaches, ruins, and ramparts of Ashkelon, one of the biggest cities in the Holy Land. Learn how this coveted land was conquered many times over the years as rulers desired its advantageous location. This is one more insight into the Holy Land: God may have tucked His people safely away in the smaller, rural areas, but He used the location of the Coastal Plain to start the spread of the gospel. As Jack said, "When we read the Bible, it's not about the absence of stories in the Coastal Plain. If we focus there we won't get it. It's about the access that the Coastal Plain gives to the people of God that allows them to reach the rest of the world."
