    Wow, Will. These are great.

    It snowed in Jerusalem April 1, 1990 when my wife and I were there on a tour. Very exciting. Very unusual, given the setting and the date.

    My pictures are not as good as yours.

    Will, I love your pictures. What a blessing it must have been to see snow right in Jerusalem. I hope to go someday to Jerusalem, whether it’s snowing or not! Take care. Ephesians 2:8-9

  3. Wanda Srader Says:

    I guess I was under some misconception that it NEVER snowed in Jerusalem and this was a once in a lifetime occurence. I guess I am so anxious for the Lord’s return that I hang onto each occurence as the “Absolute proof that our time is near”. Your work is phenomenal; please continue to bring us such wonderful information. In Christ’s Love,
    Wanda

    Will,

    Snow in Jerusalem is another way of God expressing the beauty of Jerusalem. Thank you for the great pictures. They really captured the special blessing of having snow in Jerusalem.

    Peaceful moment:
    Thank you lord, for sending the snow. Jerusalem you love and this we know. A beautiful expression of your purifying touch upon this city you love so much. A peaceful moment captured in time, celebrating today, a futuristic sign. Every true hearted Christian, every faithful Jew, longs for God’s promises all to come true. God chose this place and Jesus walked these streets and it won’t be much longer, til Jersalem rejoices in lasting peace.
    Love in Christ, Ed

    God bless Israel, Zola Ministry and the works of your hands Mr. King.

    My wife and I are messianic Jews living in Northern Calif.
    We conduct classes aiming at eschatology, using Old and New testament scriptures and
    would appreciate up to date events happening in Israel that the News wires will not
    tell us about. God Bless

  10. Helen Walker Says:

    These pictures are beautiful! I hope to get there one day!
    Love in The Lord,

  11. Paige Williams Says:

    Will:
    My response is not nearly eloquent as the pictures. My first response was simply “Wow!” When I first heard the news that it was snowing in Jerusalem, I hoped you’d be out snapping away. The pictures are more beautiful than words can possibly express.

  12. Tirtzah Says:

    The prophet YESHA’YAHU (Isaiah) said, “Even though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as SNOW; even if they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool”. It’s funny that people recognize that there is “wool” (sheep) in Yisrael, but don’t realize that there is snow! Yisrael has tropical, winter, dry hot, etc. You come there and there is weather for all. Perhaps like Texas! :-) BTW: I drove by a small ranch in North Texas and my husband and I actually saw a RED HEIFER! We pulled over and looked at it for a while and imagined the rebuilding of the בית המקדש, Bet HaMikdash.

    My family and I have encountered some wonderful people here in Texas who really seem to love Yisrael.

  13. Classie Murray Says:

    My heart is still aglow from the sight of snow in Jerusalem, and walking in the Holy Land! What a blessing to have experienced this Holy place. To have worshiped there,be baptized there,and get in touch with my Christian heritage, still seems a bit unreal. Hallelujah it is real! (Classie, in Israel February 10-19, 2008)

  14. Wanda Crawford Says:

    Will Thank You for a Gift from GOD my heart leapt for the Joy of the LORD at the sight of your photographs

  15. Corajean Knapp Says:

    Your pictures of Jerusalem are so beautiful. I believe Israel is the most beautiful land in all the world. I cannot wait to live there with Jesus someday. I love everything about Israel and Pray for her often. God bless.

  16. John Effler Says:

    Thanks for the pictures of a beautful land. My hope is to see it in person someday.

  17. betty jo myers Says:

    I’m happy to see your photos, but even happier to say I will see Jerusalem and Israel in June!!!! I will probably even see you,Will!

  18. Sherelyn Says:

    Will, Wonder-filled snowy pix at the Western wall of Rabbi and fellow at prayer plus the columns in snow looked ancient. In Texas on March 7, 2008 we got 9 in. of snow, after an 88 degree day last week. I took pix of snow angels!

  19. Debra WATKINS Says:

    Please some one tell me, is the rain the same meaning for snow, THE HOLY SPIRIT?

  20. Debra WATKINS Says:

    Please some one tell me, is the rain, meaning HOLY SPIRIT, THE SAME AS THE MEANING FOR SNOW?

  21. Patricia Hippely Says:

    Will…those pictures took my breath away. How truly Blessed one must feel while standing in the Holy Land and snapping such wonderful pictures. Keep up the good work. God Bless!

  22. c docking Says:

    wow those photos of Jerusalem in snow took my breath away.
    It looked like an ancient city with its beautiful solid stone walls in preperation for battle!!!

  23. Nancy Soderstrom Says:

    Dear Mr. King, Your pictures are absolutely beautiful, inspirational, sensational. awesome and tremendous. Should do research on “net”, however do you know how often it snows in Jerusalem? Was especially touched by the gentlemen who was praying at the “wall”. Could feel his prayers right through the miles from Jerusalem to Florida and am praying for him as well. Mr. King, there again should do research on “net” and have, however do you think the weather in Jerusalem “paralells” that of the “southeastern” United States, such as Georgia and Florida? Thank you so very much for any info. Best regards to you and your family. Will keep all in thoughts and prayers. Also am trying to learn “Hebrew” on “net” or in courses. Would you have any suggestions? Thanks again. Peace. Sincerely yours, Nancy Soderstrom “E-mail” address: russ_and_ma@yahoo.com

    Will
    How wonderful to see the beauty of my adopted home in an all new setting. I was there last June when Israel had one of it’s hottest months ever. Even our guide said that he had never shown Masada as quickly as he did that day. I know that someday soon I’ll be able to walk the streets of this precious city for good. My heart has such a longing to be there!! Come quickly Lord Jesus—Maranantha

  25. Yuliya Says:

  28. Marisa Quiles Says:

    Que hermoso poder disfrutar de la Tierra Santa. El deseo de mi corazón es ir algun dia a ver la tierra que vio nacer y morir a mi amado Señor YESHUA HAMASHIA, DIOS bendiga a Israel y los bendiga a usdes por este sitio tan maravillo. Brachots, Marisa

  33. Kimberly Says:

    How beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing these awesome photos. May the Lord our God bless Israel and all her children…and may the U.S. never turn it’s back on her or betray her in any way. And even if it does, I will stand for and pray for her as long as the Lord keeps breath in my body. God bless Israel!

  34. Donna k Bernhardt Says:

    Dear Will
    I am always in awe of the holy land and to the beauty of all she possess I hope I spelled it correctly. But to put it lighlty we must never put God in a box and think that things could not happen because of the location of Jerrusalem, as we all know that God said he would make the dessert bloom and he did that as bringing his people back to the promised land. As i am so thaknful that we were given a second chance by the sacrafice of his son who happens to be hebrew. And will always on the side of Isreal and all she endevers to do God keep you and your family safe and in the loving arms of his beautiful son Jesus Christ (Yeshua)(She’ma) Hear,O Isreal,
    the Lord our God is One. Your sister in the Lord.

  35. Daniel Farris Says:

  37. Dr. Monty Eloff Says:

    Hi Will,
    Lovely photos. I have been to Israel 26 times, all the seasons and never saw snow there. I am from South Africa and will be visiting again with a group in November 2008.

  38. Mary Hope Says:

    Oh how lovely! I love Israel and have seen many photos, but I have never seen snow! Oh, how like our God to soften his city with that blanket of gentle, silent snow….it looks as if He was saying…”Hush…be still.. and listen..and know that I am God…”….too beautiful!!!

  39. Liz B. Says:

    Grace and Peace Will;

    These pictures are truly breath taking, like others I had no awareness of snow in Jerusalem. It only reveals that God is in control.

  40. Shirley Says:

    I love the snow pictures. they really ‘tell a story’.

  41. STEPHAN PHILIP Says:

    Iam an Indian but we were Babylonian jews and we are 350000 and known as Knanaya christians. more details are in Indian christians website

  42. Irene Says:

    Lovely! Beautiful.. the snow simply reminds me of the ‘dew of Hermon…’. The pictures are truly nice and there is an expectant refreshing feel to them. Is that Menorah from the Cardo?

  43. Donna Abbott Says:

    How blessed I am so have been able to walk the streets of Jerusalem in November 2000. What peace I felt and joy so complete. Your pictures are beautiful. The Bible talks of snow but I never imagined it to be there. God is so good to give us such beauty. I can hardly wait to be with Him in Israel someday. Thank you for sharing the pictures. Come quickly Lord Jesus.

  44. Helen Bohler Says:

    It is such a blessing to look at these fantastic pictures of Jerusalem. I had the privilege of being in Jerusalem for several years - secy. at King of Kings and with Bridges for Peace Adoption program. These pictures bring back such wonderful memories as one year was the city’s most snow ever. There is no place like Jerusalem - the sages say that God had ten measures of beauty and He gave nine of them to Jerusalem. Lev sheli b’yerushalim! My heart is in Jerusalem! THANK YOU, WILL!

  45. Robert Frauenthal Says:

    Absolutely Fantastic pictures! My friend Janet went there in 2007 during the summer. I still have her photos in my e-mail. She is now in China. May God Bless you and your family in Jerusalem.

  46. Robert Frauenthal Says:

    Thanks for the pictures - I have similar ones but not quite as beautiful (in South Korea). I might join my friend, now in China, who took some photos there in June 2007. Again God Bless you and your family in Jerusalem!
