The Finish of Summer in September - Nazareth overlooking Jezreel Valley.
And in Winter when the clouds are low and the earth rests.
Jezreel
Nazareth drew Mary's family out of Bethlehem.
Higher than other cities, 325 feet above sea level on Mount Precipice, Nazareth dwells having: a view, a breeze, cooler temperatures and the safety to see advancing weather and advancing armies. A splendid place. Nazareth, like all of Israel, was part of Tribal Jews settling. "Nazareth" is one of the Hebrew words for 'branch', from the prophetic, messianic words in the Book of Isaiah 11:1, 'from (Jesse's) roots a Branch will bear fruit'. And toponym might be an example of a tribal name used by resettling groups on their return from exile. Including the name may derive from na·ṣar, נָצַר, "watch, guard, keep," in the sense of "watchtower" or "guard place."
The Gospel of John reveals ancient Jews did not connect the town's name to prophecy.
Maybe... Mary and Joseph had something in common with Nazareth.
Regular life - the bells and whistles of God are in the Bible.
One of the Holy Family knew God's arrival and the approach of the Kingdom of Heaven.
From a Lithograph of 1800s Mount Tabor - easy to climb.
Mount Tabor has become a reflection of God's Promise Israel is a land flowing with milk and honey.
Mt Tabor is not difficult to climb, nor farm.
There is another set of people who wander in and out of faith in God's Plan. One day, Jesus invited them on a local walk.
An interesting choice from the 12.

Luke 2
47 And all who heard Him were amazed at his understanding and His answers.
48 And when His Parents saw Him, they were astonished. And His mother said to Him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for You in great distress.”
49 And Jesus said to them, “Why were you looking for Me? Did you not know that I must be in My Father's House?”
50 And they did not understand the saying that He spoke to them.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature
and in favor with God
and man.

Matthew 17
Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
An interesting choice from the 12.
Peter - the Rock, the first Pope - sure. John - His Beloved friend. James - the brother of John - sons of Zebedee - - - why? Maybe to prepare John for an extremely long life and to know James, his brother, is indeed with Jesus in Heaven. Jesus is the Word made Manifest. God's Word Alive. Words matter. We would have to consider the Words of these men of God.
John keeps his oath of secrecy and the great change within John is represented as Jesus as the Light of all mankind and the world of John's Gospel - Chapter 1 for importance.
And we have arrived! THE TRANSFIGURATION.
Except Jesus has understood this for a long, long time. Genesis 1 - Let There Be Light. Jesus was not about to see Himself as newly made. Instead, with those He had lived with in His Father's Kingdom.
God is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow. If anyone could now understand in hindsight - Jesus had known all along about Capernaum, His Ministry, His Sacrifice, His Gift to all of mankind and a new Heaven for His Father. A new earth. Jesus was thinking of you.

2 Peter 1:16-21
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the Voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, Whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.” 18 We ourselves heard this Voice that came from Heaven when we were with Him on the sacred mountain.
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable,
and you will do well to pay attention to it,
as to a Light shining in a dark place,
until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Jude, Brother of Christ, records this:
Jude 1:25
To the only God, our Savior,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority,
before all time and now and forever.
Amen.
When Jesus told us He wanted to hold us as a Hen holds her chicks, we see in the Video - this mother hen is not a hug - she is the living, moving, having their being example of a Temple to dwell in - in love, in care and in tenderness.
These chicks are planned and prepared for long before they arrive. No matter the season, the time, all is Love. Care. Dwelling.
