The Tunnel Under the Street to Pool of Siloam from Jerusalem Temple Mount

Galyn Wiemers walks you through the under-street tunnels used from 100 BC-70 AD as a drainage system for the city of Jerusalem. The water ran into the ancient Pool of Siloam. In 70 AD the Jews used these underground tunnels to escape the Roman invasion of Jerusalem. Many did not make it out or they used these tunnels for hiding. Josephus records the Romans breaking through and removing the street's pavement stones in order to slaughter the Jews hiding in these tunnels. Galyn is walking from the southern Pool of Siloam up towards the Temple Mount. This excavation was recently done during the last few months. Excavation in the area continues today.

God amazes me in everything He does. We haven't even begun to experience His true majesty. Jesus said that if his disciples were to keep quiet, even the rocks would cry out that He is God. All of the things coming to the surface from thousands of years ago to this day is mind boggling. He is God, and Almighty at that!!! :)

@galynwiemers Thanks for not buying into the Palestinian lies of denying the Jewish heritage and character of Jerusalem.
