Nabataeans and the Magi Wise Men visiting Jesus | Avdat

- The Nabateans are the lost nomad tribe that built a magnificent empire, including the hidden city of Petra. In this video, we visit one of the ruins of Nabataean cities, lying at the heart of the trade route, the ancient city of Avdat.
But here’s the problem. The Nabateans appeared only for a few centuries in human history. Shortly after the 4th century, they magically vanished, leaving only ruins behind them. This left historians with many great questions. But some believe they are the very wise men who came to visit Jesus after his birth!
So who were the Nabataeans they? Could they be linked to the birth of Jesus? And what had caused their disappearance?
Join us in this adventure to find out a little more about this mysterious tribe!
Special thanks to Yossi Dolinski for editing this video!

Hi Rhoda and Sergio!
I made a small web-research regarding this ancient Greek inscriptions on 6:35 and 7:14
These are tomb inscriptions (epitaphs)
From what I can understand the name of the buried dignitary is Germanos Alexandro (2nd -4th line)
And on the second inscription the name is Zacharia Seracin
The menora flanked by crosses appears on many of the epitaph stones inscriptions of that period of 400-600 AD.
Thank you soooooo much for the transition, that is so cool. Great information. Blessings!!!
Wonderful Dennis! Thanks so much for researching this. We've been wanting to know what the inscriptions say..
Kudos, Thank you for your efforts. God bless.
Thank you 🙏
@@stonesfolly : Am very curious to know, from where your last name originated. The reason is, because my last name is Galico. Maybe is some kind of connection there. I wish you can answer my question. Shalom be to you. Todah rabah.
Thank you, I like that you hold speculations gently, too many people running around Israel taking themselves too seriously, grandly asserting their views, “I know, listen to me!” There is very very much we don’t know about many things. But this we know: Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose on the third day and will come again for those that put their trust in Him. -Colorado, USA
Well said, rampart ranger.
Amen!!! Texas, USA
Exactly that we know. I would say when we believers get to heaven we can ask all those unanswered questions. I will be like Mary sitting at his feet listening for eternity
@@abullard8409 : Me too.
Amen
The greek @6:32 says: the blessed germanos, son of alexander lived 17 years and 7 months and passed away not married the 9th of the month of Dios. Indiction 14, year 445
Thank you! Any idea on the other inscription?
Wow!!!! Thank you!!! God is good!!! Hugs from Texas, USA
You malayalee?
Hello Sergio and Rhoda 😊 Praise God for your channel🙌🙌🙌I’m learning a lot about Israel 😍 Thank you so much. Shalom from the Philippines
Your shows are fantastic! Love them!
Mabuhay!

What an amazing land, every place you go to the ruins and rocks are crying out.
I sometimes wonder what Sergio would do without Rhoda... she is so helpful and perfect for him. They are a joy to watch. May God give them many many years of happiness 💕
Nabataeans are ancient northern arab tribe they were an international traders, they came from Hijazi region there's mountains in Madain Saleh/Hegra have the same Nabataeans style that in petra and it was the southern capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom.
it's actually the opposite, they came to the Hejaz from the north.
@@samishaniyy nobody believes the natives just got energetic and built something new all of a sudden. They probably came from the east during the Achaemenid invasions. There were many arabic-speaking people who had lived in the east (eg Hajar) for a long time.
Such a beautiful and historic place. Thank you for not only showing the Nabataean ruins, but also linking in the Petra footage. I really appreciate the study and care you put into showing us the most important landscape in the Kingdom, from ages past and also today.
Thank you dear Rhoda and Sergio...and whoever films for you! I live in California and have longed to visit the land of our Saviour. Your videos allow me to visit! I so much appreciate your work! May God richly bless you! 💞✝️🕎💙
I am from So.California ,a widow and love your trip there. Thank you for sharing.God bless everyone .🙏❤😇
Thank you for SHARING🌞
Sergio , pray about getting your State tour guide license . -- I will love to take my 3rd trip to His Land with you as our guide and Charlie bring to light the Scriptures in the location where it all happened --Love ya --Ray Sussex NJ USA
Can we join you? We had our 1st tour there last June. But Sergio and Rhoda go to amazing places!!
That's funny, I was also thinking they should start a tour business, if they get bored with videos. I know the vids take a lot of work, but the schedule is flexible. With tours, there's that COMMITMENT. But I'd love to do a tour with them as my guides. Wouldn't be boring, that's for sure.
That's a great idea. I bet Charlie would be up for it.
We would love to join that tour, too!
We LOVE Sergio and Rhoda also. They are such a beautiful couple and they visit such amazing places to increase our faith. We too have said many times that when we visit Israel we would love to have them as tour guides. I think that you are onto something. :)
So interesting! We are in the book of Isaiah at my church and I want my pastor to see this! Your theory of the 3 kings sent chills up my spine as it explains the fulfilling of that prophecy!
I love this one!♡♡
Thanks you too! Stay healthy! Blessings!
A little further in Isaiah may explain what happened; Isaiah 60:12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. Based on what they left behind, they may have been rich and felt they have no need for God to provide for them or help Gods people. Just a thought. Thanks for your video's, they are amazing.
It's very possible. Given some of the images and what iv'e heard about them, and what they connect to.
Or they were martyred because of their faith in him. Christian's were sought out and killed a lot around that time.
Great video, guys! My wife and I love watching your videos while we drink a cup of tea here in England. I met your friend Yossi at the Nazareth Village last November; his tour was the highlight of our whole trip and our whole tour took the time that evening to pray for him as he continues to shares the Gospel there. I thought I recognised him, and then I realised it was from your videos. I took a little Greek in Bible college and the second line and first three letters of the next line say "KARIOSGERMANOS" or "blessed Germanos," which must have been the person's name. It does look a bit like a eulogy tombstone. The menorah surrounded by two crosses makes me think he must have been a Messianic Jew!
perakole How would u know that
Messianic Jews do excite then and today
@@swepea6558 They definitely exist today we’ve had them visit our church and share wonderful testimonies. There are numerous Jewish teachers who have come to Christianity and are helping to develop study Bibles with their unique perspectives. As for back then, archaeology is producing evidence that indicates it.
Israel is my dreams to visit in God's will.. 🙏🏻❤💕💞
Also my dream.
@@Fire_And_Iron me and my wife went last year it was an incredible experience hope you will be able To go. My only regret is I didn’t watch all the videos on u tube concerning Israel I have learned so much since we went.
Me too!
Let’s pray for each other, that God will make a way for us to go if it is His will.
I happen to read Greek. The inscription says: "Boy oh boy, in a couple of thousand years, Sergio is going to go nuts trying to figure out what's written here!" No need to thank me. Lord Bless you both.
Lol
😂🤣
Hahaha. Good one.
WELCOME TO THE 👑
KINGDOM OF 🇯🇴 JORDAN
LAND OF THE HOLY RIVER⭐
Thank you Sergio and Rhoda for all the wonderful teachings about Israel ..You guys are amazing ...God bless .....Love from India...
Loved the tie in to the Isaiah scripture...amazing stuff! Thankyou!!
Hello Sergio and Rhoda!! Love watching your videos from India. Would really love to come and meet you someday when everything is better. God bless you guys! :)
The three wise men, they must be indian who knows jataka. Only indians count date of birth through jataka. 9 planet circus the sun. Only indian use this.
It's not we see them soon in heavenxxx
I find u both the best of Gods creation, loving , kind, joyful and full of learning in Jesus holy name, AMEN:)
These videos are great. For the inscription at the 6:30 mark, I translate the first sentence as, "The blessed Germanus [son of] Alexander lived seventeen years and seven months, and he died unmarried." I'm no expert, so take that with a grain of salt. The next part puzzles me. It appears to mention the month Dios, the ninth indiction (which would have run from about 432 to 446 A.D.), and the year, so it likely gives the date. But I haven't cracked it yet.
R. Grant Jones another commenter has a very similar translation, I think you did well, thank you! Any idea on the other?
@@slowscape - I can't tell what the first six characters mean. From there, it says, "The blessed Zacharias of Erasinos, in the tenth [day] of the month Panemos, the 14th indiction, on the Lord's Day, in the third hour of the night ..." From there, it becomes more difficult. It mentions "the third of the Sabbath" (I think) -- perhaps the third day of the week -- the month Panemos again, and the twelfth indiction. There is a parenthetical statement "Behold, those who oppose mercy", numerals I don't understand, and the words "Give him rest." It closes with "with your saints. Amen." It's a puzzle.
As always Sergio and Rhoda, thank you from Texas! You always encourage me to research even further because you make your videos so interesting! Hope you will let us know the translation from Greek. God bless you both!
Renee, go look above! A couple people translated some of it! how wonderful;! hugs from San Augustine, Texas!
I see God is still blessing the two of you.

Dear adorable Rhoda & Sergio, seems like a mysterious group, the Nabataeans...! Avdat's a great place indeed on this trip with you'll...Deu borem korum (used as Thank you but means May God Bless you) in Konkani...Stay Blessed folks...Amen.
So good to see your new adventures!
Sergio & Rhoda, I just want to THANK YOU for Blessing "ME" and others I am sure, with these informational historical videos of Jerusalem, surrounding areas and a peek even into your personal lives. It truly has been a blessing to me as you take me to places that I have heard, and read, of throughout my Christian life and will probably never get an opportunity to visit. I am 59 years old and because of this Covid-19 Lockdown, though I work as least five days a week at Welch's, yes the Juice and Jelly place, I have been searching for good Biblical Informational youtubes. Well, I ran into yours, or God lead me to it, and have been blessed by each video starting from the beginning. I am just over half way going through all your videos. You truly help make the Biblical Stories more Vivid as you describe who, what, when and where and through video, I get to see what is looks like now, and can start to imagine of how it could have looked then. Thank You Again ! God's Blessing on You, Rhoda and Family !
That was a great video, and the idea of a cross-shaped baptismal is so cool!
And that was a delightful, hilarious blooper at the end! The 14th of February is Valentine's Day, the day of love, and it's lovely to see how this couple loves each other and loves the Lord!
I love your show. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us.
Thank you for taking me with you. I feel I am there. Wonderful.
Fascinating to say the least. Truly, thank you and God bless you both.
Loved this. Thank you for showing us these sites.
It looks as though you had it to yourselves! It's nice that there are some places off the beaten path where you can take a self-guided tour. Thank you, Sergio, Rhoda and Yossi.
Very interesting... thank you for another great video.
Really enjoyed it sergio and rhoda.

Thanks guys I learn so much from you guys .

Dear Sergio and Rhoda,
We are a young family who very much appreciate your videos. We are so thankfull for the priceless information you share with us. We think that you do a awsome job and we want to increase your faith by telling you that God spoke to us one day trough you.
We are planning a trip in Israel and maybe, who knows, we can meet. That would be blessing.
We pray for you and we wish you all the best, guys!
Hugs and love from our family! 🤗
Very interesting 🤝🏼
Peace and love
You are doing a good job. Very informative.
Thank you for the video! Once you mentioned Shivta - I tought to myself why did you not include Shivta and Mamsit also? They are similarly spectacular and historic. Nabateans also went down to the Ramon crater and had a caravan serai there. I was waiting to hear the fact that they were arabs mentioned. I learned from a documentary that their downfall was the rearranging of trade routes by the early Muslims.
Another fantastic video!
Always enjoyable videos.
Wow! It's a beautiful Blog.
Now I've got to investigate the Nabateans. See what you did! Great show as always. great that you can get out and about now. Finally.
Wow! Learned something new thank you I thought they only had Petra. Keep up the great work you two so much appreciated 🤗
The view from that location is really beautiful I agree.
So interesting!!! So grateful for you!💙🙏🇳🇮
Thank you guys!!! God Bless, Love you!!!
What a great video! Thank you from Colorado, USA so enjoy and learn from each show.
Absolutely great videos you two! Please keep the videos coming! I love watching them here in America and you make the Holy Land come alive! You are a blessing!

Here in the Philippines we celebrate Christmas as early as September and it concludes on January 6 which is the three kings (Magi or Wise Men).
