What was it like? Can you describe your experience?

@@radiance65 Actually, at that time, I considered myself more secular than a believing Christian. So, I was there to observe/tourist rather than to ''meditate'' or pray. The Church itself has many distinct and all different praying spaces to accommodate the greatest Christian denominations. Each space has a distinct vibration and feel. There are 3 different floor levels. There is no architectural or spiritual harmony, but rather the opposite. At night, the vibes are much more pronounced than by day. Everything is obscure or dark. There are a few authentic hidden side niches that most tourists overlook which are just thousands of years old tombs cut out in limestone rocks. These places were especially dark and heavy . I only managed to stay there a few minutes although, in daytime, these were my favorite little quiet spaces in a church mostly brimming with visitors and pilgrims. A few candles only lit specific places in the church. They created long and spooky shadows. That Church has been visited for over 1700 years of history by millions and millions of people and has been revered as the most authentic relic of Christianity. The Church has inspired and incorporated, effectively witnessed all the upheavals and glory times of Christianity. Countless historic giants have knelt or prayed there....No wonder,, there is a deeply impressive and even palpable ''historical'' spirit living in the Church. Few people enter that Church with indifference, no matter their religious beliefs. I rested for a while, lying flat on the cold tomb of a crusader, serving as a rude and ice-cold bench. Even in the Middle East, the nights in the Church are rather cold. After my initial religious curiosity was ''satisfied'', I started feeling less and less comfortable, until even strange inner fears gradually popped up. As if i was being present in a ''forbidden '' place, not really worthy to be there. I seem to have felt darker forces rather than soothing higher ones. As if i was continually ''being watched by invisible eyes that read my sceptical thoughts and heart. At one point, I watched two old and small Russian orthodox nuns descend to the deepest level where the wife of Emperor Constantine found the relics of the holy Cross. After more than an hour, they did not come back, so I descended to the lowest level -without any exit, only to find it empty. I was absolutely sure that they did not pass me whilst going up again. Then, I found on the stairs a lost orthodox prayer bracelet made of black wool and cheap green plastic beads. I picked it up and took it with me as a ''souvenir''. (Months later, the bracelet would give me very unpleasant kind of strong electrical charges by touching it. I still have the bracelet in my room, now having become ''my beloved personal memory and relic'' from that memorable night.) The time in the Church seemed to last an eternity. Around 4 o clock, It became almost unbearable. Now, the Church doors are locked and there is no way to escape. Around 5 o clock, the Muslim Guardian of the Church having the keys came to open d the huge doors. Immediately, I sneaked out past him into the fresh dark morning of a weirdly silent old Jerusalem. Now, twenty years later, and by studying the lives of many Christian Saints, I become more and more a believing Christian again, and I now have regretted not having passed one night in the Church as a believer. (I spent 3 times in this Church) . Now, living in Spain, the desire grows to return one last time to the Middle East but now as a real pilgrim and revisit all the places related to Christianity with a profound connection. That is to say, before the so much prophesied End Times begin. By every passing year, my chances for doing so diminish. Thanks for your question, I allowed me to put on paper one of my (religious) life's most profound experiences.

@@jphalsberghe1 Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences in such vivid detail. I was trembling inside as I read your words. I am here in Jerusalem on a three week visit but would not have the nerve to do what you did, although I probably would not have hesitated as an unbeliever 🤔 I am going to go to the church very early in the morning though, to be there as they open up. That's as far as my courage goes. Before I came on this trip, I prayed for a deeper appreciation of the spiritual sites I will visit. Your words are part of my answer to that prayer. Thank you sooo much. 🙏🏻❤️

@@radiance65 Dear friend, few people go to Jerusalem on their own merits. Most are ''called'' to the city, and then, the city will transform them, sooner or later. Jerusalem has a ''special vibe'' as you probably already discovered. Visit the small adjacent tombs, just after the Tomb of Christ, and in front of a small Coptic-like prayer stand. You ll see a simple entrance. You may even find a treasure..(-;

@@jphalsberghe1 Thank you. Will let you know. 😊

Thanks! I bought a new gimble. Good to see that it is noticeable!

Reread your last sentence and ask yourself so you really want to be such a pathetic, sad, idiot loser actively behaving like a slave?!

I will never be done. I have ideas for about 5000 videos :-)

AWESOME!!!!

תודה רבה!

Muslims used to have honor back in the day and protected our Holy Sites. Then the Wahhabis and Pan-Islamic terrorists came and started destroying everything. It is a shame, but I am glad honorable Muslims were in charge of Jerusalem and kept our Holy Sites in tact and still do today, continuing their family's legacy. May God bless them and forgive their sins.

You have a different site of the garden tomb and golgotha,which is which yours or that of Ron wyatt discovery? Sir?

Went to mass near the edible when it still had scafelling about six years ago.

Exactly. I too visited recently. But couldn't pray properly as they asked to move quickly...😢Just a glance of sepulchre... Now i am travelling throught the videos so that i can get better information like the one he provided. Good job. Thanks for the detailed explanation and videos🙏💐

The church opens at 5:30 in the morning. come every day before 7:30 and you will have the whole church for your self. If you come at 10:30 you can't move inside.

@@Travelingisraelinfo Thanks for this. I am in Jerusalem right now. Will head to the church early tomorrow morning. Can't wait. ❤️

Thank you very much!

I agree - truly amazing.

Very true

I'm thinking that Oren filmed this when Covid lockdowns were still in place?

Thank you for the links. The print of Jesus tomb is on the Messiah’s shroud. The print of the stone is visible on the shroud. I will google and will try to come back here. This Simha Yacouvotich, coming from European Germans concerted to Judaism, is aggressively anti Christian. It cutie hr his family tomb, but not His sépulcre. Not the Nessaiah’s tomb.
