Airport Planned for Megiddo 16:25 Apr 10, '06 / 12 Nisan 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Civil Aviation Authority officials on Monday announced a domestic airport will be constructed in Megiddo in cooperation with a number of authorities, including the Jezreel Valley Regional Council.

The new airport is planned on a 400-duman (100-acre) area at a cost of $35 million. Officials report the airport will undoubtedly increase tourism to the Jezreel Valley and surrounding areas.

" It boogles the mind how they just keep rebuilding over the same sites over and over again. You think it would be easier just to pick a new spot."

There aren't any new spots. The whole country is the size of my kitchen table.

I think we need an "Air Mageddon" slogan contest!

Air Mageddon: Ready When He Is.
Air Mageddon: Fly the Final Skies.
Air Mageddon: It's Time to Fry.
Air Mageddon: It's Not Just a Destination.
Air Mageddon: A Flight You'll Never Forget.
In the End, You'll Choose Air Mageddon.

The Megiddo water tunnels to the spring outside the fortifications were built under the direction of Joshua.

This site says it was built by Ahab. Was he working for Joshua? No matter who built it though, it IS an amazing place.

Who is on the Lord's side?

Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army
None can overthrow.
Round His standard ranging
Victory is secure,
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.

Ah, my bad, faulty recollection. Although Joshua defeated the Canaanites and Megiddo, he did not take or fortify the city. The engineering work was done under King Solomon
(by Ahab?). Which makes the water tunnels 3000 years old instead of 4000 years old?

Hos 1:10-11
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
