Travel to the land of Israel to discover fascinating truths about the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Ray Vander Laan weaves the archaeological evidence with biblical teachings and the historical record to contrast two kings: Herod and Jesus who lived in Israel in the first century. One was the acknowledged monarch, ruling his subjects from a lofty fortress which lies in ruins today. The other, born in a cave in the shadow of Herod's palace, was recognized by only a few during His lifetime. He left no great buildings - yet His Kingdom is without end.
