In June of 2012 several of us are going back to Israel to attend a 3 week class at the Jerusalem University College (JUC) on Mount Zion just outside the walls of the Old City (just south of the Armenian Quarter). Below are a few videos (not mine, but other previous students) posted on YouTube by JUC students.
Here is a student showing you the actual campus of JUC:
Here a student walks you through the inside of the buildings to his dorm room:
Dr. Paul Wright, one of the professors at JUC, teaching a class at Megiddo concerning the location of the coming battle of Armageddon (part one and part two are below:
And, here is another person's memories of JUC:
I'll be posting more videos in preparation for our trip which is only 10 months away. We'd love to have you join us!!
Here is a map showing the location of JUC. To orientate yourself to the map find the south wall of the Old City (top of the map) and locate the Zion Gate. Then move south-west to find the JUC campus:
Here is a map showing the hotels we will be staying in: Gloria or Knights Palace. Both of these are inside the walls of the Old City in the Christian Quarter. Again, find the south wall of the Old City (this time at the bottom of the map) and locate the Zion Gate to orientate yourself:
Here is a video I made while I walked up the road that is highlighted in orange on the map above. The road is called the Latin Patriarchate Road. I begin the video standing where the orange highlighted roads intersect by the image of the tower (on the map). The video begins with me looking west (left) at the Joppa gate. I then turn north (right, towards top of map) and walk up the orange road past the Gloria Hotel towards the Knights Palace. Here is the video:
