“In the days past the Lord humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the days to come he will confer glory on the Way of the Sea on the far side of Jordan.”
This brief description from the prophet Isaiah summarised the disaster that virtually obliterated Israel’s northern kingdom in the 7th century before Christ. These lands, surrounding the Sea of Galilee, would, in the fullness of time, become the home that nurtured Jesus for the first 30 years of his life, and would witness the beginning of his ministry.
