Let Us Go Up to the Mountain of Jehovah - Israel Museum

“And many peoples will go and say: ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah.'” – Isa. 2:3

In 1991 Oasis began escorting groups to the Bible Lands together with Emmanuel Zervides of Meander Bible Tours , who himself began encouraging the brotherhood by conducting Bible based tours in the world renowned British Museum beginning in 1969.  Ever since those initial trips to the Israel, Oasis and Meander have worked closely together.  Today, our tours to Israel include a free tour of the one-of-a-kind Israel Museum in Jerusalem .  It contains the greatest collection of Biblical artifacts in the world and boasts an amazing scale model of first-century Jerusalem. It’s replica of the so-called Second Temple which existed in the time of Christ and is itself an amazing site!

jerusalem bible tours jw

In 2016 responsible brothers in Israel formed Eyewitness Tours and approached Oasis about the possibility of working together on an expanded Bible-themed tour at the Israel Museum .  Their idea was to create in Israel something similar to Oasis’ tours at The Metropolitan Museum of Art  in New York City.  Their goal was to provide a permanent free tour at the museum that could be conducted year-round for the encouragement of their brothers and sisters visiting Jerusalem.

Experience has shown that for most, even if we enjoy history and/or museums, nothing makes those experiences more enjoyable than to have someone guide us along with a narrative that puts what we are seeing into biblically chronological and historical perspective.  So when writing this tour the objective was not just to show the museum’s most interesting items, but to tell a story because stories affect not just the mind but also the heart.  That affect leaves a lasting impression and makes it more enjoyable for all.  As the Come Be My Follower book states, “Because we often think best in pictures, illustrations can make even abstract ideas easier to grasp.”

A theme was chosen and development work began.  After many months of detailed research and preparation what was the result?  A marvelous tour entitled “ Let Us Go Up to the Mountain of Jehovah ”  This tour is tailor-made for Jehovah’s Witnesses by Jehovah’s Witnesses and encompasses the three most relevant wings of the museum:

The Archaeological Wing

The Shrine of the Book

The First-Century Model of Jerusalem

The first of these tours were conducted in March 2017 and since then many have continue to enjoy this faith strengthening experience.  Shortly thereafter, beginning in May of 2017, Oasis began including this tour as part of our comprehensive 15 day tour of Israel called “ The Most Beautiful of All the Lands ”  However, whether you are going with us to Israel, visiting that land on your own, or simply looking to experience some of this information virtually, we consider this a “don’t miss” opportunity to deepen your appreciation for bible truth. In April of 2020 a shortened, “virtual” version of this tour also became available online.

No matter how you experience this tour, you will have etched into your hearts and minds details like:

What it was like to ‘ go up to the mountain of Jehovah ‘ in the first century

What the scroll that Jesus read in the synagogue looked like

Biblical characters that made their mark on Jerusalem

The steps of Jesus’ momentous final day as you see 1st Century Jerusalem right before your eyes

A deeper appreciation for the “the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century”

jerusalem bible tours jw

We at Oasis Biblical Tours  are in heart-harmony with the brothers at Eyewitness who seek neither prominence or acclaim and wish to remain anonymous.  These self-sacrificing brothers in Israel, with decades of full-time service, have helped to ensure that this tour meets the same criteria that Oasis also seeks for all of it’s tours, namely, Biblical accuracy and harmony with current understanding of publications of the Faithful Slave.

The goals of this tour are the same as any tour we give or recommend: to bring glory and honor to Jehovah and build the faith of those who visit.  In line with that approach, these tours are conducted for free . All who part of Eyewitness are Jehovah’s Witnesses and most are in full-time service.  All guides are volunteers and dedicate much time to train for the tour and to strive to make it an unforgettable spiritual experience for their guests.  At our core, we at Oasis and Eyewitness share two things in common:

A passion for the Bible, history and archaeology that bring praise to Jehovah

We consider it a privilege to share what we have researched for the encouragement of our brothers and sisters as they examine these items more closely themselves.

We wholeheartedly thank our dear friends at E yewitness Tours. We have benefitted from their precious support and expert advice in the constant development and refinement our own Israel travel tour and we look forward to continuing to work with them going forward as we collaborate on both program’s tours.

The “ Let Us Go Up to the Mountain of Jehovah ” tour was conceived and written by Eyewitness Tours .  However, our close relationship with these brothers has make it possible for you to reserve space on their a virtual tour of Israel Museum by clicking the links above or below.

INFORMATION ABOUT VISITING ISRAEL

Many of our brothers and sisters visit the Bible land every year. Today planning such a trip has become much easier, with the aid of all the information available. However, still Jehovah's Witnesses are not exactly the typical tourists just happy to visit every church along the way.

With this in mind, some local brothers have prepared a little guide for witnesses visiting Israel . Please feel free to download it .

The team at MBT is very pleased to bring you a website that makes it possible for you to book and enjoy comprehensive Bible tours in museums throughout the world.  Below is our current staff (provided for those who prefer to know who they’re speaking to or to know who are working behind the scenes to make these tours possible):

jerusalem bible tours jw

All praise and thanks go to Jehovah for making these tours possible and for the opportunity that we are given to share the research done with our fellow Brothers and Sisters!

The travel company Bethel Coach Tours (which owns and operates Museum Bible Tours) was first started in 1988. BCT saw an opportunity to assist fellow brothers and sisters to visit the Bethel facilities in New York State, including the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses in New York City. So we gathered information on how we could do it and went to work. Our first trip ever to New York City and Bethel was organized for our local congregation in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Now BCT arranges for Jehovah’s Witnesses from all over the world to see the Bethel homes (branch offices) in different countries.

Fast-forward to 2016 and another need became evident. For several years Jehovah’s Witnesses living on the east coast have enjoyed taking Bible tours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. We thought, could something similar be organized on the west coast? Again, we gathered information on how we could do it and went to work. The BCT team came up with a website called Museum Bible Tours which serves as a clearinghouse and portal for all of our Bible tour arrangements. Presently, we offer Bible tours at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in Los Angeles, California, The Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Belgium the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Israel, the Oriental Institute Museum in Chicago, Illinois, and the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. In time, we hope to have other reputable museums as part of the Museum Bible Tours’ arrangements.

In keeping with BCT’s approach of using coaches to transport brothers and sisters across the United States, and in other countries, to see Bethel, BCT uses a coach as its logo. To honor BCT’s tradition, Museum Bible Tours’ logo is an ancient chariot. Additionally, you will notice that the banners on the chariot rotate and appear in three different languages. The banner in Hebrew is in honor of the fact that part of the Bible was originally written in Hebrew. The banner in Greek is in recognition of the fact that other parts of the Bible were originally written in Greek. And the Latin banner is in honor of the fact that this language was one of the first languages that the Bible was translated into after its completion.

What do the banners say in Hebrew, Greek and Latin? “Bible Tours.”

We know that you will thoroughly enjoy your Bible tours at all of the museums we are offering tours through Museum Bible Tours!

A Brief History of Bible Tours

In 1912 arrangements were made by the branch office in the United Kingdom to host over 300 convention delegates and to have them all enjoy a special tour of the British Museum. These delegates were taken on a two-hour tour and appreciated viewing the museum’s most well-known artifacts. Seven tour guides were trained by a brother who worked at the museum. These brothers continued to conduct these tours for about four years after the convention. Interestingly, the original start times and day of the week (10:00 am and 2:00 pm and Saturday) for the Bible tours still follows this pattern today.

In 1969 there was a series of six self-guided Bible tours of the British Museum that were made available to the convention delegates who attended the Wembley International Convention in London, England. These sets of tours were later used as the basis for two of the tours presented by Jack House and later his son Derek. They started leading congregation groups on weekend Bethel trips to London and the British Museum. At around the same time, the late Emmanuel Zervides of Meander Travel enthusiastically started presenting many more Bible tours, also at the British Museum, every Saturday, and the two groups have worked together for many years.

jerusalem bible tours jw

Since 2011, Macy Mah and her team in Paris, France began offering a variety of Bible tours at the Louvre Museum and of the city.

In the 2000’s World Powers Tours began giving Bible tours at the world-renowned Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, USA.

jerusalem bible tours jw

Also, in the 2010’s Rocky Scrimshire and Timothy E. Martin of Bethel Coach Tours (an Online Tour Company of Jehovah’s Witnesses for Jehovah’s Witnesses, their families and friends) organized and began conducting Bible tours at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem (with the able help of Derek House of the U.K.)

In addition, in 2017 Rocky and Timothy started offering Bible tours at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Belgium, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and the Oriental Institute Museum in Chicago, Illinois.

Also, in 2017 MBT purchased World Powers Tours which was operating a tour at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. MBT is now operating tours at the MET!

Then in 2018 MBT began conducting Bible tours at the beautiful Getty Villa Museum in Los Angeles, California.

At the end of 2019 MBT discontinued conducting tours at the Getty Villa Museum. However, beginning in February 2020 MBT began conducting tours at the beautiful Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. More tours will be coming to Skokie, Illinois, and Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

In May 2020 Virtual Museum Bible Tours (VMBT), a new division of Museum Bible Tours (MBT), started offering and will continue to offer virtual Bible tours at a number of museums throughout the world.  

All of these tour arrangements in the various museums throughout the world are being done under the auspices of Museum Bible Tours (operated by parent company Bethel Coach Tours ).

Virtual Tours: During the times of Covid restriction and lockdown, we created virtual versions of our tours, and were among the very first to offer virtual Bible tours to the worldwide brotherhood. These have proved to be very popular, and we now offer the nine different British Museum tours, two Natural History Museum Tours and the British Library tour on the Zoom platform. We will continue to provide virtual tours as well as the in person tours.

Our approach to all of our Tours is to develop scriptural themes  – which really is quite different. Our experienced guides are congregation elders and/or in full-time service and their expressions reflect a deep love for Jehovah.

Magnify Bible Tours’ aim is to build appreciation for Jehovah and his written word the Bible as well as to provide an environment in which to enjoy wholesome Christian association, ensuring that everyone who joins our tours finds the experience spiritually uplifting and refreshing. This requires that Tour operator, guide and visitor have the same objective – to give all credit to Jehovah and his organisation.  The tours are a great resource for family worship activities.

We would kindly request that you dress respectfully  (as you would for a meeting at the Kingdom Hall or visiting Bethel if enjoying a physical tour). Jesus said his genuine followers would be in the world and yet no part of it. This is possible because they adhere to the high standards and principles set out in God’s Word. Jehovah’s Witnesses visiting the British Museum have gained an excellent reputation over the years for their orderly conduct and exemplary dress, giving a fine witness.

Magnify Bible Tours guides are pleased to conduct tours at the British Museum and other locations in London for Jehovah’s Witnesses and their friends.

Some guides have over 30 years of continuous experience as Tour Guides at the British Museum and have conducted thousands of tours – at the British Museum, British Library, Greenwich, Westminster, the City of London and the Natural History Museum in London, as well as drawing from their experience of conducting Bible tours in Egypt, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan and Turkey.
