Ep 21 - Israel - Land of Creation with Saliba Danho

Welcome to another episode of the Luxury Travelers podcast, hosted by Rodney George. Today’s guest is Saliba Danho from Voice of Faith Tours in Israel, who shares his unique insights on Jerusalem’s current state and the biblical history that surrounds it. While tourism in Jerusalem has come to a halt, Saliba offers a glimpse into what visitors can expect when it resumes, approaching the tour from a Christian biblical perspective. As Rodney always says at the end of every episode, “Enjoy yourself. It’s later than you think.” And today, that message holds even more meaning.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• [1:07] Saliba describes his family heritage
• [4:43] Saliba discusses the War of Armageddon and rebuilding the temple
• [8:49] Explanation of the Fifth Gospel and Saliba takes the listener on an audio tour of the Holy Land
• [15:27] Saliba describes what a tour would look like daily and ends with what transpires at the Eastern Gate
• [22:27] Jerusalem from the perspective of the Muslim faith and Rabbi’s that are crafting vessels for the new temple
• [26:55] Saliba is amazed that on Yom Kippur, for the first time, a priest went to the Temple Mount dressed in a linen garment, as described in the Torah, for Aaron when approaching the temple.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• In the past, only a few Jewish people had discussed rebuilding the temple. Most Jewish rabbis were against rebuilding, believing that its destruction was a punishment from God. But today, the topic of rebuilding the Temple is even part of the Israeli educational curriculum.
• The Red Heifers, essential for purification, have finally arrived in Israel, unblemished and ready for sacrifice on the Mount of Olives. These animals entered Israel without undergoing quarantine. They are already two years old, unblemished, and prepared to sacrifice on the Mount of Olives, which could happen at any time. 
• Traveling through Israel has historical and biblical significance. Once peace in the Middle East is achieved, tours will resume.
