Wow, Will. These are great.
It snowed in Jerusalem April 1, 1990 when my wife and I were there on a tour. Very exciting. Very unusual, given the setting and the date.
My pictures are not as good as yours.

Will, I love your pictures. What a blessing it must have been to see snow right in Jerusalem. I hope to go someday to Jerusalem, whether it’s snowing or not! Take care. Ephesians 2:8-9

I guess I was under some misconception that it NEVER snowed in Jerusalem and this was a once in a lifetime occurence. I guess I am so anxious for the Lord’s return that I hang onto each occurence as the “Absolute proof that our time is near”. Your work is phenomenal; please continue to bring us such wonderful information. In Christ’s Love,

Will,
Snow in Jerusalem is another way of God expressing the beauty of Jerusalem. Thank you for the great pictures. They really captured the special blessing of having snow in Jerusalem.

Peaceful moment:
Thank you lord, for sending the snow. Jerusalem you love and this we know. A beautiful expression of your purifying touch upon this city you love so much. A peaceful moment captured in time, celebrating today, a futuristic sign. Every true hearted Christian, every faithful Jew, longs for God’s promises all to come true. God chose this place and Jesus walked these streets and it won’t be much longer, til Jersalem rejoices in lasting peace.
Love in Christ, Ed

Oh my goodness… What a beautiful site….Thank you so much for sharing. It snowed here in New York and I’m used to seeing that. But to acutally see it happen in Jerusalem… words can not express, but I’ll try…. Bello, Beautiful, delightful….
God bless Israel, Zola Ministry and the works of your hands Mr. King.

My wife and I are messianic Jews living in Northern Calif.
We conduct classes aiming at eschatology, using Old and New testament scriptures and
would appreciate up to date events happening in Israel that the News wires will not
tell us about. God Bless

My response is not nearly eloquent as the pictures. My first response was simply “Wow!” When I first heard the news that it was snowing in Jerusalem, I hoped you’d be out snapping away. The pictures are more beautiful than words can possibly express.
February 26th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
The prophet YESHA’YAHU (Isaiah) said, “Even though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as SNOW; even if they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool”. It’s funny that people recognize that there is “wool” (sheep) in Yisrael, but don’t realize that there is snow! Yisrael has tropical, winter, dry hot, etc. You come there and there is weather for all. Perhaps like Texas!
BTW: I drove by a small ranch in North Texas and my husband and I actually saw a RED HEIFER! We pulled over and looked at it for a while and imagined the rebuilding of the בית המקדש, Bet HaMikdash.
My family and I have encountered some wonderful people here in Texas who really seem to love Yisrael.

My heart is still aglow from the sight of snow in Jerusalem, and walking in the Holy Land! What a blessing to have experienced this Holy place. To have worshiped there,be baptized there,and get in touch with my Christian heritage, still seems a bit unreal. Hallelujah it is real! (Classie, in Israel February 10-19, 2008)
February 28th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Will Thank You for a Gift from GOD my heart leapt for the Joy of the LORD at the sight of your photographs
March 1st, 2008 at 8:59 am
Your pictures of Jerusalem are so beautiful. I believe Israel is the most beautiful land in all the world. I cannot wait to live there with Jesus someday. I love everything about Israel and Pray for her often. God bless.

Thanks for the pictures of a beautful land. My hope is to see it in person someday.
March 6th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I’m happy to see your photos, but even happier to say I will see Jerusalem and Israel in June!!!! I will probably even see you,Will!
March 8th, 2008 at 2:37 am
Will, Wonder-filled snowy pix at the Western wall of Rabbi and fellow at prayer plus the columns in snow looked ancient. In Texas on March 7, 2008 we got 9 in. of snow, after an 88 degree day last week. I took pix of snow angels!
March 8th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Please some one tell me, is the rain the same meaning for snow, THE HOLY SPIRIT?
March 8th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Please some one tell me, is the rain, meaning HOLY SPIRIT, THE SAME AS THE MEANING FOR SNOW?
March 15th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Will…those pictures took my breath away. How truly Blessed one must feel while standing in the Holy Land and snapping such wonderful pictures. Keep up the good work. God Bless!
March 17th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
wow those photos of Jerusalem in snow took my breath away.
It looked like an ancient city with its beautiful solid stone walls in preperation for battle!!!
March 18th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Dear Mr. King, Your pictures are absolutely beautiful, inspirational, sensational. awesome and tremendous. Should do research on “net”, however do you know how often it snows in Jerusalem? Was especially touched by the gentlemen who was praying at the “wall”. Could feel his prayers right through the miles from Jerusalem to Florida and am praying for him as well. Mr. King, there again should do research on “net” and have, however do you think the weather in Jerusalem “paralells” that of the “southeastern” United States, such as Georgia and Florida? Thank you so very much for any info. Best regards to you and your family. Will keep all in thoughts and prayers. Also am trying to learn “Hebrew” on “net” or in courses. Would you have any suggestions? Thanks again. Peace. Sincerely yours, Nancy Soderstrom “E-mail” address: russ_and_ma@yahoo.com

How wonderful to see the beauty of my adopted home in an all new setting. I was there last June when Israel had one of it’s hottest months ever. Even our guide said that he had never shown Masada as quickly as he did that day. I know that someday soon I’ll be able to walk the streets of this precious city for good. My heart has such a longing to be there!! Come quickly Lord Jesus—Maranantha
March 22nd, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Wow, that’s amazing! Usually you don’t see snow in Jerusalem, but it snowed! It’s really great to see snow in Jerusalem!
March 29th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
These are great pictures: Thanks a thousand times.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:30 pm
That’s is wonderful, I love Israel. GOD Bless Jerusalem. Thanks for cheer.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Que hermoso poder disfrutar de la Tierra Santa. El deseo de mi corazón es ir algun dia a ver la tierra que vio nacer y morir a mi amado Señor YESHUA HAMASHIA, DIOS bendiga a Israel y los bendiga a usdes por este sitio tan maravillo. Brachots, Marisa

April 7th, 2008 at 7:12 am

These are great pictures. God Bless Israel. Thanks
April 12th, 2008 at 12:50 am
How beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing these awesome photos. May the Lord our God bless Israel and all her children…and may the U.S. never turn it’s back on her or betray her in any way. And even if it does, I will stand for and pray for her as long as the Lord keeps breath in my body. God bless Israel!
April 24th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Dear Will
I am always in awe of the holy land and to the beauty of all she possess I hope I spelled it correctly. But to put it lighlty we must never put God in a box and think that things could not happen because of the location of Jerrusalem, as we all know that God said he would make the dessert bloom and he did that as bringing his people back to the promised land. As i am so thaknful that we were given a second chance by the sacrafice of his son who happens to be hebrew. And will always on the side of Isreal and all she endevers to do God keep you and your family safe and in the loving arms of his beautiful son Jesus Christ (Yeshua)(She’ma) Hear,O Isreal,
the Lord our God is One. Your sister in the Lord.
April 29th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Shalom aleichem Will!! Thank you so much for a rare look into another one of our G-d’s miraculous handy works.He even makes Jerusalem blossom with wonderous white snow.Nothing is impossible for our G-d.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful pictures of Jerusalem. I am in awe of God’s greatness and am blessed by your thoughtfulness in sharing these pictures. Thanks to all of you at the Zola Levitt Ministries for reaching out an touching my life. God Bless!
May 8th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Hi Will,
Lovely photos. I have been to Israel 26 times, all the seasons and never saw snow there. I am from South Africa and will be visiting again with a group in November 2008.
May 12th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Oh how lovely! I love Israel and have seen many photos, but I have never seen snow! Oh, how like our God to soften his city with that blanket of gentle, silent snow….it looks as if He was saying…”Hush…be still.. and listen..and know that I am God…”….too beautiful!!!
May 18th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Grace and Peace Will;
These pictures are truly breath taking, like others I had no awareness of snow in Jerusalem. It only reveals that God is in control.
May 23rd, 2008 at 10:30 pm
I love the snow pictures. they really ‘tell a story’.

June 9th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Lovely! Beautiful.. the snow simply reminds me of the ‘dew of Hermon…’. The pictures are truly nice and there is an expectant refreshing feel to them. Is that Menorah from the Cardo?
June 10th, 2008 at 10:17 am
How blessed I am so have been able to walk the streets of Jerusalem in November 2000. What peace I felt and joy so complete. Your pictures are beautiful. The Bible talks of snow but I never imagined it to be there. God is so good to give us such beauty. I can hardly wait to be with Him in Israel someday. Thank you for sharing the pictures. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
June 15th, 2008 at 9:08 am
It is such a blessing to look at these fantastic pictures of Jerusalem. I had the privilege of being in Jerusalem for several years - secy. at King of Kings and with Bridges for Peace Adoption program. These pictures bring back such wonderful memories as one year was the city’s most snow ever. There is no place like Jerusalem - the sages say that God had ten measures of beauty and He gave nine of them to Jerusalem. Lev sheli b’yerushalim! My heart is in Jerusalem! THANK YOU, WILL!
June 25th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Absolutely Fantastic pictures! My friend Janet went there in 2007 during the summer. I still have her photos in my e-mail. She is now in China. May God Bless you and your family in Jerusalem.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Thanks for the pictures - I have similar ones but not quite as beautiful (in South Korea). I might join my friend, now in China, who took some photos there in June 2007. Again God Bless you and your family in Jerusalem!
July 7th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
QUE BENDICION PODER VER LAS MARAVILLA Y PORTENTOS QUE EL ALTICIMO NOSDA CADA DIA. ESTAN HERMOSAS LAS FOTOS QUE DIOS LO SIGA USANDO DE GRAN MANERA, QUE DIOS ME LOS BENDIGA MUCHO.GRACIAS POR COMPARTILAS CON TODOS NOSOTROS ES DE GRAN BENDICION.LAS FOTOS ESTAN BONITAS.
July 9th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
What beautiful photos! Jerusalem in the snow—I never knew. There is something so peaceful and comforting about the snow. As if our Father put a hush on the earth.
Thank you for using your talents to share with us.
May God grant you peace,

Thankyou for these wonderful pictures they have really blessed me. Where I live in Australia we do not get snow. I would love to visit Israel.
July 27th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
WOW! Really love the pics you have posted on here. I could see myself living in Israel and making it my new home someday. Thank You, and may the Lord bless you tremendously.
August 7th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Thanks so much for the beautiful pictures of Israel frosted in snow. I will probably never be able to make the trip, so I thank you Will, for bringing Israel to us. Oh, I will be there in the new kingdom, but so wanted to go while I still have life in these bones; but whatever the Lord wants for me is just fine.
I’d be very happy to see more pictures of the Beautiful Land, if possible.
God bless you, Will, in all your endeavors.
August 8th, 2008 at 8:21 am
praise god.we saw the all pictures.thanking you and god bless you and your ministry.
August 10th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I visited Israel a number of years ago. I was in June and there was no
snow then!! I love the pictures–always enjoy seeing pictures of Israel. Thanks for sharing them.
August 14th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Thank you for this pictures from the most beautifull City in the Earth.
Thath Almigthy Adonai bless you and keep us forever.I’ll prayer for the peace
of Israel.
August 15th, 2008 at 10:25 am
I found these pics to be quite delightful, especially the ones of the snow encased menorrah and the old man standing by the western wall taking cover from the snow with his talith (or so it seems)! I just never acquainted snow with the western wall or any part of Israel for that matter — how odd! How beautiful!
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:03 pm
I’m so greatful, to see such wonderful photos. This must be a rare occurance,to draw so many comments.Thank you for sharing such, amazing views of the walls. Do you have any current pictures as of August 2008,to share? Were you able to photograph,any cites looking out, or within the the city? I’m looking forward,to visiting there,if the Lord is willing. Thanks,
September 1st, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Your pictures are truly a blessing, i keep them on my desktop at home as well as work. I had the most wonderful time in Israel with Sandra and Jeff last October on a tour. Every time I look at these photos I think of our tour guide Zvi saying as he looked out the bus window every day “there is no snow in Jerusalem today. It makes me smile every time. God bless you and keep up the great work in Israel.
September 8th, 2008 at 6:49 am
A Michele - come una ebrea americaao, la sua lettera ha toccato il mio cuore. Spero che troviate l’occasione visitare l’Israele l’un giorno. Sono stato nell’Israele sei volte ed in Italia sette volte! Può il dio benedire l’Israele, gli S.U.A. e l’Italia e benedizioni a voi, anche!
Gorgeous photographs…they visually exemplify “God’s Peace in Jerusalem.” Exquisite!
October 5th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
THESE PHOTOS SHOULD BE MADE INTO A CALENDER AND SENT TO THE WHOLE WORLD. THEY ARE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL THAT THEY SHOULD BE EVERYWHERE. THEY SHOULD BE ON BILLBOARDS ADVERTISING HOW BEAUTIFUL ISRAEL IS. JOHN 3:16
October 8th, 2008 at 5:27 am
I am a Sri Lankan but a follower of the Lord, I do beleive that indeed the Isreal is Gods, chosen land, what a blessing is it for all you for live there. No matter what any great nation tries to do, you are greater and ISREAL will stand proud and tall you people are blessed by God. Did it not take a little Isrealite to bring down a Giant. Faith and Trust is more powerful, than any MAN MADE WEAPON.
Alleuia, Alleuia, Jesus is living and through Isreal we all other nations will be saved.
IF THERE IS ONE WISH ON MY MIND IT IS TO COME LIVE IN ISREAL - MAKE IT MY HOME, CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS ISREAL. CAN SOME TELL ME, HELP ME HOW TO GET THERE I COULD DO ANYTHING TO BE IN ISREAL, THE BEAUTIFUL CHOSEN LAND.
May god bless you all you wonderful people.

I’ve never been to Isreal, I’ve always wanted to go.. have been drawn to this for most of my life. These photos are great! Living in the desert myself its always great to have a snowfall. Such a stark change to the norm. Who knows maybe someday I’ll be there.. God willing!
October 18th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Will King,
I have been to Israel twenty-five times, and want to go back. These pictues are GREAT!!!
I have seen snow in Northern Israel (Golan Heights). I’m asking that the Zola Levitt ministries and others pray that our Father will provide finances for me to return to that GREAT country ISRAEL.
God Bless,

Thank you for your ministry, God Bless

Nice pictures. I hope to some day be able to be there. Thanks for the inspiration. It would make a good calendar. For those that have never been there it helps to give an idea of what the weather can be like in the winter.

Wonderful photos of a snowy Jerusalem! My husband and I were in Jerusalem in December of 1999 on one of our many trips there. We walked with some friends, from the Old City to Bethlehem to the Shepherd’s Feilds on Christmas Eve and experienced some snow flurries that night. What a blessed evening! It was one of the most blessed experiences we have ever had in all our times in Israel! It snowed big time shortly after we returned home. We were sorry to have missed the “snow show”, but were so grateful for our Christmas experience! We think of it as a Christmas present from the Lord. Thank you for the pics. We love the television program and the Levitt Letter. Thank you for all you and your collegues do to promote Israel and support the Jewish people.
In Christ,
Sue

How incredibly beautiful! I love that second picture. He looks so joyful!
November 21st, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Will those are some great pictures. How wonderful! The snow is so beautiful. I wish I could see it in person.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Praise Jesus, I looked at the photos and I asked the Lord: When will I go to Israel? Can’t wait to share with my brothers Elohim gave us. We love you Israel, the churches here in Puerto Rico are praying for you. Next time send us some snow
Shalom!!!
November 26th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Hello Will,
Your pictures are wonderful….I had missed them all the time and just now got a chance to see them…..Israel is so beautiful and I love her and God’s precious chosen people with all my heart.
I was so honored last July 27th to finally get to meet your sweet mother when she came to Redding to speak…..She is a blessing to all of us and such a good speaker…..I was so sorry we were having such terrible forest fires around us and our sky was filled with smoke and she could not see the beautiful area we live in….I trust she will come back again.
Thank you a million times for sharing your photos….God bless you Will..Have a beautiful Thanksgiving….I believe your mother is in Israel right now, maybe you will have Thanksgiving together….God bless and keep you.
Shalom,
Dortha Mae
November 29th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Praise Yahshua Hamashiah and I love your pictures. What a blessing it must have been to see snow right in Jerusalem. I hope to go someday to Jerusalem, whether it’s snowing or not! Thank you
December 4th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
I LOVE YOUR PICTURES FROM ISREAL ALL I CAN SAY IS BEAUTIFUL I PRAY TO GOD TO GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO VISITE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.GOD BLESS AMEN.
December 21st, 2008 at 11:41 pm
I have always lived in Plano (outside of Dallas) all my life. I am an adopted Jew as it states in Esther.
I think it is an astounding idea to make calendars out of these photo’s as well. Please do this because it could help the Messianic Ministry as well. THANK YOU.

Beautiful pictures!! Merry Christmas!! I visited Jerusalem in March of 2007. On our first morning, we woke up to a wonderful snowy day!! HUGE flakes falling on the geraniums at our hotel in Jerusalem!! Our first stop that morning was Bethlehem!! What a GREAT gift from the Lord!! Bethlehem in the snow!! It was amazing to see the flakes falling on lemons on a lemon tree in Bethlehem. And snow falling on the Shepherd’s Fields!! It really put us in the Christmas spirit while we were there!! Thanks for sharing your pictures!! I love your programs, and hope to visit Israel again soon! God bless your ministry!! L

I was in Jerusalem on December 25th 2005. While I was at the Wailing Wall, there was a flash of lightning followed by an incredible boom as thunder rattled the air. This was followed by a brief snowstorm. Thank you for the beautiful pictures. I’ll be leading a group back to my homeland in October 2009. My Mothers Maiden name is Zilverberg of the Holland Jews. Any relatives out there? pastordirk@bolcchurch.com
May God richly bless you!!
