Israel Museum and the Shrine of the Book

Our second stop on Day 10 was the Israel Museum and the Shrine of the Book. Here we looked at a 1:50 scale model of the Old City of Jerusalem at the time it was destroyed in 70 A.D. It helped to bring together all that we had seen over the past three days. Then at the Shrine of the Book, we learned about the Scroll of Isaiah from Qumran and the Essenes who interpreted the scroll and lived in a secluded community and believed that Armageddon was near.
