The Four Lepers of Shomron (Samaria)

In 2 Kings 6–7, the city of Shomron faced a horrible famine due to an Aramian siege. Yet four lepers—outcasts of society—became the unlikely messengers of salvation. Through the prophecy of Elisha and God’s intervention, Shomron was saved overnight. This dramatic account reveals a timeless truth: even the most broken can be used by God to bring hope and life.

What Happened to the Ark of the Covenant?

This sacred chest, described in the Book of Exodus, was the most mysterious and powerful object in Israel’s history.

From miracles at the Jordan River to its sudden disappearance after the destruction of the First Temple, the Ark continues to fascinate believers, historians, and seekers of truth.

In this video, we’ll explore:

  • The Ark’s design and divine purpose
  • Miraculous encounters in Israel’s history
  • Theories about its disappearance and whereabouts
  • Its deeper meaning for Christians today

The Ark may be lost to history—but its message still points to something greater.

Shiloh: From The Dwelling of the Tabernacle to a Symbol of Judgment

Join me at Ancient Shiloh, once the spiritual epicenter of Israel.

In this gripping journey through Scripture and archaeology, discover how Shiloh transformed from the resting place of the Tabernacle into a haunting reminder of Israel’s disobedience.

Through prophetic warnings, tragic events, and one woman’s faithful prayer, Shiloh tells a powerful story—one of Israel’s failure, God’s judgment, and unshakable hope.

Where is Ebenezer?

In the well-known hymn “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing,” we sing:

“Here I raise my Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I’m come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.”

Is Ebenezer an actual place or a parable? Let us read what the Bible has to say about it.
