Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus: Burning Bush Ministries' Bible Study Tour in Israel
The rolling hills of Galilee, the winding streets of Jerusalem, the tranquil shores of the Sea of Galilee - every nook and cranny of Israel whispers tales of a history that has profoundly shaped the beliefs of billions across the globe. The land where prophets foretold the coming of the Messiah and where Jesus himself ministered, Israel holds an irreplaceable role in the Christian narrative.
Burning Bush Ministries is thrilled to announce our upcoming Bible Study Tour to Israel. It’s not just another tour; it's a transformative pilgrimage where we will trace the footsteps of Jesus, delve deep into scripture, and encounter the living legacy of the Word of God.
Messianic Insights with Dr. Jeffrey Siegel
One of the distinguishing elements of our tour is the leadership and guidance of Dr. Jeffrey Siegel, a Messianic Jew. For those unfamiliar, Messianic Jews are Jewish individuals who recognize Jesus as the Messiah, retaining their Jewish heritage while embracing the New Testament teachings. Dr. Siegel’s unique perspective will provide a bridge between the Old and New Testaments, allowing us to see Israel through Messianic Jewish eyes. His insights will unravel the tapestry of Jewish traditions, customs, and scriptures in relation to the teachings of Jesus.
An Unprecedented Time in Biblical History
As we stand in the 21st century, we are witness to a time unparalleled in biblical history. Today, the covenant people of God - the Jewish people - and the commissioned people of God, the church composed of both Jews and Gentiles, coexist. Such a congregation is prophetic, symbolizing the unity and promise that the scriptures always alluded to. Israel is not just a historical landmark; it's the living embodiment of Biblical prophecies.
Why Israel? Why Now?
The convergence of history, prophecy, and the present urgency makes this the ideal time for every Christian to set foot in Israel. But why is there an urgency?
Witness the Fulfillment of Prophecies: The re-establishment of Israel as a nation and the return of the Jewish people to their homeland are monumental fulfillments of biblical prophecies. To be in Israel now is to stand at the intersection of prophecy and history.
Strengthen Your Faith: Walking the streets where Jesus walked, praying at the Wailing Wall alongside our Jewish brothers and sisters, or floating on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus calmed the storm – these experiences have the power to profoundly deepen one's faith.
Connect with the Jewish People: It's essential for Christians to recognize and value our shared heritage with the Jewish community. By engaging and building relationships, we can foster mutual respect, understanding, and unity.
Restore a Longing in Our Hearts: In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to become spiritually complacent. Visiting Israel can reignite the longing in our hearts for a closer relationship with God, grounding us in the tangible reality of the Bible.
An Invitation to Transformation
Israel beckons with its deep history, its fulfilled prophecies, and its testament to God’s everlasting covenant. It’s not just about the past, but how the past reverberates in the present and future. It’s an invitation to every Christian – to not just read or hear about the Holy Land, but to experience it.
Dr. Jeffrey Siegel will be our shepherd on this journey, guiding us with wisdom and shedding light on the scriptures as we explore. From Bethlehem to Nazareth, from the Mount of Olives to the Jordan River, every site will be a touchpoint to a deeper understanding and connection.
Final Thoughts
If there ever was a time to visit Israel, it is now. As believers, we are called to bear witness to the wonders of our faith. And what better way to do so than to walk the very land where it all began?

Join us, and let’s tread the paths once walked by kings, prophets, and our Savior. Let's reconnect with our spiritual roots and create memories that will last an eternity.
