Mount of Olives


 As Jesus rose up into heaven, the angel told His followers, 'as you see him ascend, in the same way he will return to earth when he comes again!' So is this the spot where Jesus is to return to the earth at the second coming? Every church is represented here, apparently the churches thinks so that Jesus will return again at this spot.

 Here lies an ancient cemetery, so when Jesus comes again, the dead will also rise and they'll be the first to see the Lord. (?)



 There are a myriad of churches along this side of the Mt of Olives. This is Mary Magdalene church, a Russian Orthodox church. It was closed on the day of my visit.
A  famous view of the dome of the rock from the Mt of Olives. Herein is the land of 4,ooo years of recorded history. It is truly amazing!
