Tyre and Sidon map
Map Tyre and Sidon map
Tyre and Sidon were important cities in ancient times. They were located on the eastern Mediterranean coast in what is now Lebanon. The area was known for its trading ports and was strategically located for both trade and defense.
Old Testament Tyre traders
In the Old Testament, Tyre was the major city of the Phoenicians, one of the most powerful trading nations of ancient times. The city grew wealthy from trade , especially the export of purple dye made from local sea snails.
The city also played an important role in the construction of Solomon's Temple, providing the cedar wood and skilled craftsmen for the project. The prophet Ezekiel prophesied against Tyre's arrogance and pride, warning that it would eventually fall to invading armies.
Jewish Sidon
Sidon was another important city of the Phoenician civilization. Like Tyre, it was known for its maritime trade and its skill in metalworking, glassmaking, and dye production. The city is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the cities allotted to the tribe of Asher.
Jesus once visited the area and healed a man from Sidon who was possessed by demons.
New Testament nonbelievers
New Testament writers present Tyre and Sidon as examples of great sin and unbelief. Jesus criticizes the cities for failing to repent despite witnessing his miracles. Jesus healed a woman's daughter in the region of Tyre. The apostle Paul also visited the area, where he was welcomed by the local Christian community.
Towns today
Today, the two cities remain important cultural and economic centers in modern-day Lebanon. They are popular tourist destinations, known for their rich history and architectural beauty. Tyre and Sidon remain a hub connecting the eastern Mediterranean to the wider world through trade and commerce.

"Jesus and his followers walked down to a level field where a large crowd of his followers had gathered. The crowd also included a lot of people from all over the region, from as far south as the territory of Judea and the city of Jerusalem, and as far north as the Mediterranean coastal cities of Tyre and Sidon."
Luke 6:17, Casual English Bible

Jordan River, John the Baptist's river of choice
MAP JORDAN RIVER
The Jordan River and the river valley are important locations in both the Old and New Testaments. It's especially important to the Jewish and Christian people.Geography of the Jordan
Map Jordan River. The Jordan is a river in the Middle East that starts north, in the mountains of Lebanon. It flows into the Dead Sea. Bible writers talk about it many times. They report it in the story of Joshua, who led the Israelites across the Jordan into Canaan. John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan. The Jordan River valley is a lush green area that is surrounded by desert. It's famous for its fertile land and beautiful scenery. Bible writers called it the land of milk and honey. This is because God told Moses that he would lead the Israelites to a land "where milk and honey flow like rivers" (Exodus 3:8, Casual English Bible).Jordan River scenes in the Bible
The Jordan River valley is home to other important biblical sites, including Jericho. That's the city famous for its walls that came tumbling down in Joshua's time. The northern river valley is also home to the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount. And in that same valley, on the Sea of Galilee, is where the Bible writers report that Jesus walked on water and calmed the storm. The Casual English Bible describes the river as "the most famous river in the Bible." It says that when Joshua led the Israelites across the river and into the Promised Land "walking in the water of the Jordan River symbolized the people stepping out in faith and trusting God to keep his promise." The Bible says God stopped the Jordan River during flood sea, which allowed the Israelites to cross. Israelites are the ancient ancestors of today's Jewish people.3Don’t you realize that we have been immersed [2] in Christ Jesus? That includes his death. It’s a part of us now. 4In a sense, this immersion that included death means that we were buried with him, too. But just as the Messiah was raised from the dead by the Father’s awesome power, we get to experience a new life, too. 5If he’s a part of us now and we died with him, he’s going to be a part of us in his resurrection as well.
