What is an insula? Why are scholars fairly certain this was where Jesus was regularly received in Capernaum during his ministry? How do art renderings based on archaeological findings picture what Jesus likely called “his own home” in Matthew 4:13?

What differences are there from our westernized, individualized culture and the ancient Jews who lived in insulas? What was it like to be a woman in that era and area? What rights did she have and not have? And how is John 14:2 supposed to comfort us?
Why would Jesus tell his disciples to pray in their closets? What were their closets like? What is a difference in culture from the west that still affects Israel’s culture today?
Women’s rights were further described here, and life in the synagogue. And what about the millstones? Why were they made from basalt rock?

Roofs in Christ’s era–how did they usually make them? What about the rich people, or the guest room, or kataluma? And what’s the difference between the original audiences of Matthew, Mark and Luke? Why would this affect how they word the same story?

Concerning my “Documentary Links”:
I’ve been to Israel twice, once with a Christian archaeologist. What if you could virtually tour Israel with experts and see 54 hours of video footage condensed into a number of clips totaling 3-hours? Check out “Tour Israel by Remote” (click on the trailer, next):

Changes for my website
Praise the Lord! I’ve had 4 students helping me since April 22nd, 2024 until including today, June 27th, and they’ve done such an amazing job! Three of the most obvious things they did is fix both the Contact Us and “What would make this website better?” so you can message now if you want, plus they increased the loading efficiency. And behind the scenes! My SEO, security, documentation, research database–wow! Thank you Lord & thank you, students!

My Focus in Blogging
My story of forgiveness and healing is quite unrelated to envisioning the Bible world. But since our world is sin and pain infested, I suspect many will want to hear more about my personal experience. I wrote a couple of blogs about this, but mostly I focused on envisioning the Bible world. I learned lots after being in Israel, and now I can share that with you.
Plans for Improved Website:
I’m gradually getting my website working better for the visually impaired. This requires a lot of work and I’m pretty busy, but I will persevere.
Thanks for your interest.
