My Front Yard Looks Like Hell

I couldn't have asked for a better dorm room at JUC. It is a rooftop room with a balcony that provides a panoramic view of the west side of Jerusalem. And, I have a unique view of hell, the Hinnom Valley. Hell is an English rendition of the Greek word Ge'enna which is derived from the Hebrew word Ge Hinnom which means "Valley of Hinnom." In the Hebrew Bible, it was known as a cursed place where idol worship to various Canaanite gods occurred, including Molech the god who demanded child sacrifice. Jesus used the word Ge'enna 11 times in his teachings. Below are a few pics from my room of the Valley of Hinnom.




Here are some pics of Jerusalem from my rooftop balcony.




More pics to come!
