Mount Precipice

 In Northern Israel, just outside of the city of Nazareth, you will find Mount Precipice, locally known as Mount Kedumim. It was here, that Tradition says that a very angry mob tried to throw Jesus off a high cliff. See Luke 4:16-30.

as much i know about this mountain and its history and some thing that i have come to know about this mountain that there were some caves in this mountain that was made by a man who lived there about 100000 years ago, and you all will be amazed to know that in the early 19th century the skull of that man and the bones of child were found which were there around 1 hundred thousand years ago. the crusades called this mountain the peak of the Lord and it is believed that the christ will again come to this mountain , today it is so hard to reach those caves and the people who go their are faced so many hurdles during their travel towards this mountain, they climb from the Nazerath towardsthe plain of the jazreel from a bridge. and from this route the caves can be seen easily from the front of its view, inshort this mountain is such a wonder and the holy one no doubt , such a great mountain and yes the post is also so good , thanks for sharing this beautiful mountain pics
