Pathway Holy Land Podcast
My name is Pierre Tannous, and I’m Christian Arab and a citizen of Israel. So I speak Arabic, Hebrew and English. I’m a Bible School teacher at Nazareth Evangelical College, I’m a licensed tour guide with four years of experience and I’m a minister at the Assemblies of God Church in Haifa. My aim in this podcast is to reflect on the Biblical Text through the Biblical Sites in the Holy Land.

Mount Tabor - Mountain of the Humble
Today’s episode will be about Mount Tabor. A distinctive mountain in Northern Israel that has a dome shape. After a short Introduction to Mount Tabor 01:00, the episode will have four sections that cover the following issues:
1) Geography & Location 03:49
2) Mount Tabor in the Old Testament 06:10. The mountain here is described in historical events (Josh 19: 12,22,34; Judg 4) and as a symbol of power (Jer. 46:18; Ps. 89:12).
A map that shows Mount Tabor as a meeting point of three tribes’ borders:

3) Mount Tabor in Christianity: The Transfiguration 13:00 (Matt. 17:1-4)
4) Mount Tabor Today 17:21
The last part will discuss the biblical message of the Transfiguration 20:15 (Matt. 17; Ex. 24, 34).
For those want to read more about the correlation between the OT and the NT texts I recommend Richard B. Hays book: Echoes of Scripture in the Gospels (Baylor University Press. Kindle Edition.)
