<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear B-greekers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been correlating the named locations of Jesus'
miracles as given in the gospels with the&nbsp;regions allocated to the tribes
of Israel in the Old Testament. It's remarkable stuff. Peter's confession of
Jesus took place in the region of Caesarea Philippi (Matthew 16:13-16) in the
northern area alloted to Dan. "Dan" means "to judge". Peter 'judged' who Jesus
was. There are other interesting or suggestive correlations that appear (to
me).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But my question is simply this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jerusalem was in Judea. Judea was the southern
kingdom, composed of the two tribes of Benjamin and Judah. Was Jerusalem&nbsp;-
as it was located in New Testament times - in Judah or Benjamin? I'd love to
know please ... and how can we know for sure? Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
