The next stop on the new tour is the famous Shrine of the Book housing the Dead Sea Scrolls. "It's all in the surrounding of this city, which has only one Temple for one God." "The model, built in a scale of 1 to 50, shows these important sites that Jesus goes through, for instance, the pools of Bethesda where Jesus performs one of his miracles of healing," Mevorach told CBN News. Prominent in the giant model is the Temple, the largest monument in the city at that time. Mevorach said the model will give Christians a better perspective of specific areas mentioned in scripture. This is Jerusalem that Herod the Great built," said David Mevorach, senior curator of Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine Archaeology at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. It's the first stop in the new "Cradle of Christianity" tour in which visitors see artifacts that enhance the biblical narrative. One of the unique exhibits is a giant model of Jerusalem showing the city in the Second Jewish Temple period. Now, thousands of Christians who visit biblical sites in Israel each year can enjoy an exciting new tour at Jerusalem's Israel Museum that uses artifacts and examples to bring more details to life from the time of Jesus. JERUSALEM, Israel - Have you ever wondered what Jerusalem looked like 2,000 years ago when Jesus walked the earth?
