Tourist Attraction
This morning, I decided to take a walk along the Haas Sherover Promenade which overlooks the old as well as the newer Jerusalem. It is a wonderful park which, unfortunately this valley between the promenade and the city is inhabited by an Arab population which has some, I think the media is now calling them insurgents. There have been incidents here in the evenings when all the tour busses are gone and only a few wandering tourists. Not really a very safe place in the evening to go to alone.
As I walked among the tourist groups, I thought it would be fun to photograph them photographing and learning about us. Here is one such group of young people. There were many different languages being spoken and that was to be expected.
After all, an enormous amount of history (His Story) that has taken place here as well as the battles being fought here. I think it is quite appropriate that the United Nations headquarters is at the end of this promenade which is actually historically called, the hill of evil counsel. Also from here is where Abraham brought his one and only son through Sarah and told his servants to wait for him while he and Isaac went over to where the temple mount is to worship. His obedience in sacrificing Isaac was a form of worship to the God he was following. We all know the story that the angel of the Lord stopped him at the last moment and provided himself a lamb to be slaughtered instead of Isaac.
That is just a small portion of what is happening here on a daily basis.
