Today’s episode will be about Mount Tabor. A distinctive mountain in Northern Israel that has a dome shape. After a short Introduction to Mount Tabor 01:00, the episode will have four sections that cover the following issues:  1)        Geography & Location 03:49 2)        Mount Tabor in the Old Testament 06:10. The mountain here is described in historical events (Josh 19: 12,22,34; Judg 4) and as a symbol of power (Jer. 46:18; Ps. 89:12).
