You've heard about the Bible's miracles, and it appears that we're experiencing one of them unfold before our very eyes. The Jordan River has finally dried up after centuries of being a holy symbol, exposing something truly remarkable. But what exactly is it? Well, let's just say that you won't believe your eyes when you see what's emerged. Join us as we explore what is going on near the Jordan River.
The Jordan River is a 156-mile-long river that flows from north to south via the Sea of Galilee and into the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. It is around a 40-minute drive from Amman, Jordan's capital city.
The Jordan River is religiously significant not just because it is thought to be the location where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, but both the Old and New Testaments describe key stories that occurred in the Jordan River area. For example, Joshua 3:9-10, it says, "Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, 'When you reach the edge of Jordan's waters, go and stand in the river." "Joshua said to the Israelites, 'Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God.'"
