1 | Where is Valley of Jehoshaphat? | Joel 3:2 | janet | 176084 | ||
Can someone tell me where the Valley of Jehoshaphat (Valley of Decsion)is? Is it still named the same in today's maps? I'm having a difficult time trying to locate a good map. Are there maps that compare today's names with the Old Testament names? If so, can you please give me sites? Thank you! | ||||||
