Day 9-Mediterranean Sea

Jaffa/Joppa

I left Jerusalem and now I am headed to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea to Tel Aviv. The first stop in Tel Aviv is the Bible Museum. This museum included paintings and sculptures, manuscripts, maps, photos and geographical history of the Bible. After the Museum, I went down the Mediterranean Sea.  This sea was spoken of throughout scripture, usually referred to as the "the sea" or "the great sea." While driving along the coast line, I stopped in Jaffa. The city of Jaffa, known as Joppa in the scripture, is joined with Tel Aviv and was one of the main sea ports for the Kingdom of Jerusalem. "And we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need and will float them in rafts by sea down to Joppa. You can then take them up to Jerusalem" 2 Chronicles 2:16.
