AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 11:21 "Woe (judgment is coming) to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities of the Gentiles], they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes [their hearts would have been changed and they would have expressed sorrow for their sin and rebellion against God]. |
Bible Question (short): What happened to these cities? |
Question (full): 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. |
