Belum Caves and Jebusite Jerusalem.

My Visit to Belum Caves - My Experience of How David Conquered Jebusite Jerusalem.

Below are the pictures of Belum Caves, Andhra Pradesh, India. I visited the caves in 2015. The first experience I had was how would have Joab had travelled up through the Cannanite built tunnel to open the doorways to conquer Jerusalem.

2Samuel 5:8 "Water Shaft".

A channel through which water came into the fortified Jebusite citadel from Gihon Spring, that was the main water source for Jebus (Jerusalem). This hidden underground water way upto Jerusalem was discovered by Sir.Charles Warren, a British Archaeologist in 1867.

David said, "Whoever attacks the Jebusites must go through the water shaft to reach.. whoever is the first to kill a Jebusite will become chief commander." (2Samuel 5:8, 1Chronicles 11:6). Joab, travelled through this warren tunnel to capture Jebus.

Wish this year everyone to conquer unwanted territories in life and be a faithful believer of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

"Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey it's desires. And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness. For sin will not rule over you.." Romans 6:12-14.

"So then, brothers and sisters, we are not obligated to the flesh, because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all those led by God's Spirit are God's sons." (Romans 8:12-14).
