Just a few things to remember as we head into summer:
- Summer brings about travel, out of town guests, and stay-cations for many. If you will be unavailable to answer questions for any reason, please be sure to let us know so we can mark you out.
- If you receive a question that you will not have time to answer, do not know how to answer, or do not want to answer, please request reassignment as soon as possible. The due dates on questions do not change, so we need to reassign them as soon as possible to give the next writer enough time to respond . . .
Question: Hello to my fellow Christian Brothers I would like to know, if you can tell me, WHY WAS GALILEE CALLED, "GALILEE OF THE GENTILES"? WHAT IS THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR THIS TITLE? Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
Answered by: Chris Byrne, who has been a volunteer with us since August, 2012.
Answer: Hello brother,
Thank you for asking such an excellent and challenging question.
The simplest and most straightforward answer to your question is that Lower Galilee is called Galilee of the Gentiles or Galilee of the Nations . . .
"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to . . .
