Nature | Israel | Jerusalem | Nazareth village

Caesarea

Excavations in a large area.

Excavations in a large area. Port and city built by Herod the Great. The place where the Gospel was first preached to the Gentiles (Acts 10-11). This turning point in history, when the council was created in Jerusalem, can pagans come to God directly or by first adopting Judaism. Paul repeatedly took refuge from the rampage of the Pharisees in this city (Acts 9:30, Acts 23:23). This city could serve as a safe haven, because it was built according to Roman canons and for the Jew it was an abomination to simply visit such a pagan city. Later, when Christianity became the state religion of Rome, pilgrims began to visit Israel through this port.
