October 27 - November 7, 2009 (In Israel Oct. 28 - Nov. 6, 2009)
THE ISSACHAR TOUR is Koinonia Institute’s one-of-a-kind experience to Israel that will give our
explorers an
Insiders look at the
Israel of today. Besides visiting amazing biblical sites, this trip will provide private briefings. Previous tours included briefings and Q & A with members of the IDF, Mossad, the Shin Bet, as well as members of
the
Knesset. These unique encounters with Israeli speakers will enlighten you to the Israel of today -- the one that you will never see on the 6 o’clock news or read about in your local newspaper. You will learn
of
Israel’s struggle for survival and see firsthand the locations that threaten Israel today!
We will work alongside the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) and hear from organizations who are making a difference in the lives of the Jews. We invite you to join with us as we celebrate our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Yahweh, Yeshua, the great I AM as we walk where He walked.
THE ISSACHAR TOUR
Walk through the Bible with Chuck Missler
The Issachar tour is divided into three distinct geographical locations. This allows us to focus on the three major
threats to Israel
today -- Gaza,
Lebanon, and the Golan (we do not go to Gaza). We begin on the Mediterranean Coast, then onto the Northern area of the Sea of Galilee, ending up in the Golden City.
TEL AVIV: Here we will get an overlook of the ancient port city of Jaffa (Joppa) and recount the life-changing events of both the Prophet Jonah and the Apostle Peter. Tonight we will have our Welcome Dinner and be greeted by Chuck Missler, as well as our first Israeli speaker.
JEZREEL VALLEY: From Tel Aviv, we will have the opportunity to board small planes to experience a bird’s eye view of the Valley of Armageddon and the Sea of Galilee. This will be the ride of your life! (Cost is $200 per person.) We then make our way through the Jezreel Valley, stopping at the Ramat David Air Force Base in Armageddon for a briefing at this elite air base. Following the briefing, should their schedule allow, we’ll head off to the tarmac to witness F16’s taking off and landing. Before leaving the area, we will be given a prophetic teaching concerning the events that will one day transpire in this setting!
SEA OF GALILEE: One “must” stop will be on the cliffs of Mt. Arbel for a majestic overlook of
the entire
Galilee region! One
element that is essential for our tours is to give our folks a chance to worship through the Land, as well as walking through the Land. Arbel will be one of those spots! The sites in the Galilee will include: The Valley
of Tears
in the Golan Heights; a trip up the ski lifts to Mount Hermon, the spot of the Transfiguration; Caesarea Philippi; as well as the traditional sites along the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee: Capernaum, Tabgha,
and Mt.
Beatitudes. During our time in the north, we also will include a look over into Lebanon and Syria.
THE JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM: As we leave the Galilee, we will travel through the scenic Jordan Valley and make a few stops before arriving into Jerusalem. We’ll visit Gideon’s Springs where you all will be observed drinking from the waters. The other stop will be at En Gedi where we will give you some time to perhaps compose your own Psalm, sit and ponder the Psalms of David, climb to the waterfall, and of course, worship!
This trip will change the way you read your Bible because from now on the words are no longer just black and white letters on a page; now they become memories that are in living color!
The Psalmist declares: “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, in His
holy
mountain. Beautiful in
elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion on the side of the north, the city of the great King. God is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge.” Jerusalem will be the city in which Jesus will reign for
one
thousand years and even today it is the centerpiece...recalling the words of the Prophet Zechariah: “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about.” So much is
included here:
Mt. of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, pray together at the Western Wall, sit upon the Southern Steps, examine the Temple Mount, visit the City of David, and conclude at the empty tomb. We will also visit both
Yad
Vashem and the Knesset.
DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, THE SPEAKERS WILL NOT BE REVEALED UNTIL ARRIVAL INTO ISRAEL.
