Thanks so much David. I'm a recent subscriber and I'm finding your videos to be such great reminders of my time in Israel. I appreciate you taking the time to film and upload these videos.
I’m researching the holy sites in Israel according to the revelations of Maria Valtorta. I was wondering if there was a natural fountain of spring water just outside or at the end of Capernaum, or a fountain in the square. I have so many questions and I don’t want to bombard you on here. Is there any way I can get in touch? Thanks and God bless
Hi, your comment has urged me to read about Maria Valtorta and her book. I was not aware of this beforehand. So thanks for opening my eyes to her life and work. There is not a spring close to Capernaum, but one mile West from there they are a few still flowing springs.. Check my video about the church of the Primacy of Peter, I have recorded that spring as part of the video.
thank you. I know that Jesus did drink from the Nahal Korazim one time while He was coming from Korazim to Capernaum. As for the spring Valtorta mentions, she describes “A natural fountain of spring water, that wells up just outside the village (Capernaum), and plentiful, cold, and silvery runs into a stone basin.” Another time she describes “They do not go to the spring well at the end of the village, but a fountain in the square, the water of which still comes from the clear plentiful spring on the mountain side near the lake.” I know that 2,000 years have passed so the fountain and spring may not exist anymore. In illustrations, she also showed the spring as south of Capernaum and not north as the Nahal Korazim is.
Fascinating ruins, with a dark history (according to the Gospels). This story of the "curse" placed on Chorazin for rejecting Jesus's message was picked up on by the classic horror author M.R. James, and incorporated into his tale "Count Magnus." It was also later even used by the American occultist-scientist Jack Parsons, who was fascinated with the lore.
Wow! Wonderful video. The preservation is amazing. I loved the wine press and olive press. Quick question, based on ignorance of Judaism, you said the mikveh was roofed to prevent rain water from getting in, was rain water viewed as impure? Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Hi Richard, thanks for watching and for your comments. Actually rain water is considered the purest and eligible for use at the Mikveh. The rain water was collected is a separate cistern , and then would flow via gravity in to the mikveh.
Very nice, showing biblical sites to the people outside israel, is very much appreciated ...thank you....a subscriber
I don’t believe the volcanos were millions of years old, maybe 6,000?
You can believe whatever you want. The age of the volcanos is a scientific fact.

This cursed ancient village supposedly is 3.5 kilometers north of the Blessed “Mount of Beatitudes” 🙏🏼
You're right, Korazim is only a few minutes drive from Mount of Beatitudes and Capernaum, but unfortunately very few people visit.

Thanks for watching.

Nice tour of Korazim. I'm surprised that this stop is not on the regular tours of Galilee. It's a good.. along with Bethsaida.
I agree, not many folks visit this excellent site. Thanks for watching.
Another great tour with David. Thank you
