1 | What happened to these cities? | Matt 11:21 | janet | 30830 | ||
Hello. Would someone happen to know how the cities of Chorazin (Korazin), Bethsaida, and/or Capernaum met their end. I've been able to determine that the ruins of Bethsaida and Capernaum still exist but am unable to find anything specific. I am assuming no other towns have been built in either place, is that correct? Also,I have been unable to find anything at all on Chorazin (Korazin), did it also come to ruin or change names? I'm really curious because Jesus denounced them and (Matt 11:21,23) now they are in ruins (I'm not surprised, understand, I'm just curious if they met their end through forces of nature, politcal happenings, or through decay, etc. etc.) I sure would appreciate some input from someone, and if the information is to lengthy, would you be able to give me some sources? Thanks alot!! Love this forum and all the knowledge and information that is available. | ||||||
2 | What happened to these cities? | Matt 11:21 | Makarios | 30831 | ||
Greetings janet! I've checked carefully through every single last one of my resources, including the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, five Bible Dictionaries, the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, the World Book Encyclopedia, many commentaries and nine Study Bibles, and I am still unable to find an answer as to what calamity finally befell the people of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, where ruins of those cities still exist today. I suppose that we will not know any of the answers about these cities that you seek, unless archaeology is able to reveal some clear and distinct clues for us. We can only speculate as to what finally befell these cities. Blessings to you, Nolan |
