Safed, the City on a Hill

Safed, the City on a Hill

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "You remember the words of our lord to His disciples, in the Sermon on the Mount, "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." He may have pointed to this very hill and this very city, and known as Safed, in northern Galilee. Although no place having this location is name in the Bible, it is probable that in Christ's day, a city was standing on this hill, for in the New Testament period, this land was densely populated. Safed stands as a landmark, seen in every direction, and well illustrates the words of Jesus regarding the prominence of his disciples in the world."
