The Raging of Galilee Storm on the Sea

• The Lord himself goes before you and will be with
  you He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do
  not be afraid do not be discouraged.
• Deuteronomy 318

The Facts, Please!

• The Sea of Galilee is a lake whose waters are
  blue and sweet. They come from the Jordan River,
  which enters the lake by a steep descent. For
  over 25 miles the river fall at the rate of 60
  feet for each mile to arrive at the lake.

The Facts, Please!

• The Bible give four names to this lake the Sea
  of Chinnereth, the Lake of Gennesaret, the Sea
  of Tiberius, and the Sea of Galilee.

4
The Facts, Please!

• This lake, about 13 miles long and 7 miles wide
  at its widest point, is shaped something like a
  harp. (The Hebrew word chinnereth mean
  harp-shaped.) Except on the southern side, the
  lake is surrounded by steep cliffs and mountains
  that rise sharply from its shores, some as high
  as 2,700 feet.

5
The Facts, Please!

• Sudden storms come in over the mountains and stir
  the water up into violent 20-foot waves. A boat
  can leave the shore in a calm sea and be caught
  in a vicious storm before reaching the other
  side.

6
The Facts, Please!

• Several of Jesus disciples were fishermen who
  lived near the Sea of Galilee and earned their
  living by fishing in its waters. They were used
  to the frequent storms, but a storm came one
  evening that was not like any they had ever seen.
  It frightened even those seasoned sailors.
