Megiddo 2008

Hello Everyone!

   Thank you to everyone that has sent me e-mails and Facebook messages! It’s great to hear from you all, but given that I only have 3 hours of free time during the day (including time for an incredibly needed shower) I thought I would post some random musing about my life here in Megiddo, Israel digging away in the dirt. The next couple of posts will be general catch up posts from the first week, but I hope to keep better up to date over the next week and a half!

    For those of you who don’t know – Megiddo is a tel (a large mount of cities built on top of one another) and has been the site of 33 battles throughout history (including Josiah, Thutmose III, during World War I, and the Israeli War of Independence). Most commonly, it is known for its mention in Revelations as where the penultimate (second to last) battle will occur during Armageddon.
