Another reveals that tourism in Jerusalem reached "an all-time record, with 2,788,000 tourists arriving in Jerusalem from all corners of the globe-- an increase of more than half a million compared to the previous year." 82% of the tourists coming to Israel go to Jerusalem, "the city of the Great King," Jesus. "The total income of Jerusalem-based hotels in 2010 stood at...$450 million. Jerusalem was also elected as #13 in Trip Advisor's 2011 Most Desirable Tourist Attractions-- that, from a total list of 337 global hot spots."

Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You that you have allowed me to see these days. Amen.
