These photos are all of the Negev wilderness on the border of Israel and the Sinai Peninsula. The first two are overlooking the largest crater in the world that was made by erosion. It is in places like this that Israel wondered for 40 years and David fled from Saul. These places are hot, barren, and practically lifeless. But God has a habit of bringing people here in order to teach them how to trust Him. God brings His people to the desert so they have to learn to rely on Him.
This is a picture of the Holy of Holies in a temple at a fortress on the southern end of Israel in Arad. The pillar in the front is for burning incense to God. But there are two of them. The larger was used for burning incense to the real God and the smaller to another god named Asherah. This fortress was built by Solomon and destroyed by Josiah. Let's be like Josiah and destroy idolatry and not build it like Solomon.
This is cave number four at Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Thank God that people like this preserved His Scripture throughout the generations.
