Biblical events on the Jordan River

As you know, Israel is a desert country. Therefore, water being the source of life, is of utmost importance. The Jordan river is the only river that flows all year round with fresh water. It is the main source of water for the Sea of Galilee and continues all the way south till the Dead Sea. It flows along the Syrian/African rift (a geological event that happened 20 million years ago).

The Jordan River is mentioned in the Bible almost 200 times, in the Old as well as the New Testament. The sources of the Jordan River are in the North of Israel bordering with Lebanon, near the City of Caesarea Phillipe, located near the Hermon River (Banias).

10 km south of the Sea of Galilee it becomes to be the border between Israel and the Jordanian Kingdom.

The video you are about to see is about events that happened along the Jordan River and mentioned in the Bible.

I want to thank Pastor Mike (Todd) Fink for this great video.
