Well friend... I hate to disappoint you but that city was completely and utterly destroyed in 70ad. It was destroyed so completely that it was used as a farm field for years. The street called Straight that Jesus walked... gone. No longer there.
The same goes to the rest of it.
So why do I say this... not to ruin anyones day or to be rude etc. I saw a picture today in a video that made me think.
It said... walk where Jesus walked... and it appeared that he was walking on water.
I thought about that and thought...wow... that makes me think.
You want to walk where Jesus walked?
Walk with the sinner. The street called straight is gone. But sinners are still here.
You want to walk where Jesus walked?
Walk with the publican...
The harlot...
The widow...
You want to walk where Jesus walked?
The only "places Jesus walked" that remain are the empty spaces beside the sinners of this world... and the water...
So... I would challenge us all... to walk where Jesus walked.

I don't like to call the land, the "Holy Land" because I do not believe
it is anymore holy than the soil in my back yard. To me, it is the land of
the Bible, or Bible land. Where it started but by no means ended! There
has to be a beginning to have an ending. Jesus said He was the first and
the last. The New Testament or Covenant begins with the death of the
testator of that will and testament. Out of the old and into the new. Old
natural (law) covenant, Old Israel, New Israel, Old natural Jerusalem, New
Jerusalem (spiritual). The new comes out of the old. Each new generation
comes out of the old and the old passes off the scene or stage. There are
some lines cut off because they quit bearing fruit (producing after their kind.
How many families do you know that have no further generations coming up
or following them. Who cut it off! God or man!! I have a dear friend who
married a preacher's son. He was an only child. they married, produced one
daughter, who never married. That line is no more. I can tell you of others.
Sometimes humans end their seed or future generations. They make a de-
cision that we are through! I would rather leave those choices with GOD.
What if Mary had said, No, God, I will not have your child, Savior or no
Savior!! She submitted to God's will, not hers!! Sure she suffered shame for
his Name!! Jesus told His disciples that if they suffered (identified) with Him,
they would reign with Him. Where do you think those thrones came from!
Jesus told his disciples that as His Father had appointed Him a Kingdom,
so would he appoint them a kingdom. And He told Peter who wanted to know
what was in it for them. They had given up all. Jesus told him, In the re-
(again) generation, when I sit in the throne of my glory, ye who have followed
me in my suffering, will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes
of Israel!! Why do we not hear about this!! What would they judge the
twelve tribes by! The apostles teachings or doctrine, of course. Where did
it come from. Jesus opened their understanding before He ascended into
heaven, that they would know exactly what He was talking about!!
Jesus has a kingdom that will never end! Those in His kingdom (of God)
will produce after His kind! He is the TRUE Seed that would bless the
nations of the world!!
How on earth did I get on this, Bro. Digging4Truth!!! Is it the truth??
