Bethlehem Egypt and Nazareth The Sea of Galilee Jerusalem

Since the founding of the church in 1982, for decades, Dr. Jaerock Lee has prayed for the Israeli ministry to awaken Israel. In 2004 during his special pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he offered specific special prayers to God for that Israeli ministry. On July 23, 2007 he began his 3-year Israeli ministry. He traveled throughout all of Israel. He completed the ministry by conducting a united crusade on September 7, 2009. The crusade was held in the International Convention Center (ICC) of Jerusalem with the theme "God Is Great" and now, in commemoration of the crusade, we are going to trace the footsteps of the Lord Jesus who became the Savior.

The Sea of Galilee Is Imbued with the Breath of Jesus

The Lake of Galilee is a distance of 70 kilometers from Jerusalem and is considered to be the source of the waters that are supplied to the whole land of Israel. The lake is fed partly by underground springs although its main source is the Jordan River which flows through it from north to south. It is approximately 53km (33 miles) in circumference, about 21km (13 miles) long, and 13km (8 miles) wide. The lake has a total surface area of 166 km², and a maximum depth of approximately 43 m (141 feet). This lake is also called 'The Sea of Galilee', 'Lake Kinneret', 'Lake of Gennesaret', 'Sea of Tiberias' and 'the Tiberias Lake.'
In the Hebrew Bible, this lake is called the "Sea of Kinnereth." The name may originate from the Hebrew word kinnor ("harp" or "lyre") in view of the shape of the lake. Because this lake looked like a lyre that Israelites used to enjoy playing, it was called the 'Sea of Chinnereth' in the Old Testament (Numbers 34:11; Joshua 13:27) and the 'lake of Gennesaret' in the New Testament (Luke 5:1). In 17 AD Herod Antipas, son of King Herod, built a big city named 'Tiberias' in the area of Galilee, and the name of Galilee or Tiberias originated from this city (John 6:21, 21:1). Much of the ministry of Jesus occurred on the shores of the Lake of Galilee, and in those days, there was a continuous ribbon development of settlements and villages around the lake and plenty of trade and ferrying by boat. At the shore of the lake of Galilee, Jesus called His 12 disciples and spread the gospel of the kingdom of Heaven, and performed many signs and wonders. At the lake of Galilee He calmed down the stormy wind and walked on the water.

The Church of the Beatitudes, The Church of the Primacy of St. Peter, and The Church of Multiplication

The Church of the Beatitudes is located on a small hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee, and built on the traditional site of Jesus' delivery of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7; Luke 6). The floor plan is octagonal, the eight sides representing the eight Beatitudes. The church is Byzantine in style with a marble veneer casing the lower walls and gold mosaic in the dome. In front of the church are mosaic symbols on the pavement representing Justice, Prudence, Fortitude, Charity, Faith, and Temperance.
The Church of the Primacy of St. Peter is located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee. It commemorates Jesus' reinstatement of Peter as chief among the Apostles (John 21:1-18), and this place is considered as the spot where Jesus laid out a breakfast of bread and fish for the apostles, and told Peter to "Feed My sheep" after the miraculous catch, the third time He appeared to them after His resurrection.
The Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes, shortened to The Church of the Multiplication, is commemorating the miracle that Jesus performed with five loaves and two fish to feed five thousand people (Mark 6:38-44). The mosaics found in front of the altar depict two fish flanking a basket containing loaves of bread.

Capernaum, Chorazin, and Bethsaida Were Ruined by the Judgment of God

In the early days of His public ministry, Jesus selected Capernaum as the center of His public ministry after He left Nazareth. Capernaum is located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 9:1; Mark 2:1). In Capernaum, Jesus healed a man who was possessed with unclean spirit and healed Peter's mother-in-law of her fever, and according to Matthew 8:5-13, He commended the faith of a Roman centurion and healed his servant by his faith.
In Capernaum, Jesus spread the gospel with many manifestations of signs but people living in the town did not repent. So, Jesus reproached them as written in Matthew 11:23-24, "And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."
In Bethsaida located on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus performed the miracle of five loves and two fish (Luke 9:10-17) and healed a blind (Mark 8:22-25). Chorazin was a village in northern Galilee, two and a half miles from Capernaum on a hill above the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee. They rejected Jesus who performed many miracles there, so Jesus reproached them saying in Luke 10:13-14, "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you." The three cities that had rejected Jesus were ruined later. But in the unfailing love of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ was preached in the land of Israel and fiery works of the Holy Spirit were manifested through Manmin.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. (Luke 17:2)
