The Sea of Galilee showing Israel today is The Land of Milk and Honey God said He saw in Israel. This aerial view of the Sea of Galilee is probably one we will never see with our eyes.
This view of the Sea of Galilee wasn't seen by the Disciples.
And until the 1950s most people did not ride on airplanes. Taking 50 years to make airplanes an every day occurance. Tourism rose in Israel 25% in 2018. And is higher than ever.
Mark 2:13-22
13 He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.
14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting.
And people came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.”wineskins will be ruined". No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
Mark, really loved Jesus, and became a disciple of Peter until Peter's death in Rome. Peter lived in a prosperous home beside the Sea of Galilee and the Synogogue. We know Peter probably told Mark what needed to be included and The Gospel of Mark is what fascinated Romans in the first century about Jesus.
When we see the wineskins of the Disciples, we find the wine in the Gospels bears the fruit of the Disciple's life. John is John. Mark is Mark. God is working in our lives and in their's.
Luke is the only of the Gospels to record the Sea of Galilee as Lake of Gennesaret 5 times. Mark treats the Sea of Galilee as a focal point for Jesus. Just as Peter, running a fishing business, would have seen the Sea of Galilee. When the Disciples go without Jesus across the Sea, dramatic occurrences happen.
The Gospels are the truth of the writer. This is the author's place at the table. Chapter One provides scope and importance. Chapter Two is the Adventure Begins.
Joy. Mark is making the point if Jesus is inviting, people attend. All sorts of people at the Table of Jesus. And Jesus is nourishing the people. Joy is found to be near Jesus.
Mark begins the Adventure of Jesus - very, very well.
Consider how well Jesus has done and how quickly. Jesus has sent His Beloved Disciples to Rome. And by 325 A.D. Jesus and His Love has made Jesus worshipped as the Son of God in one of the Largest and Longest Lasting Empires on earth.
We might consider the Sea of Galilee. Jesus has considered the world. And our Father God wants to save the entire world in Jesus Christ.

Abba,
We pray for more Heaven on earth. The Joy of the Lord sought and found.
We ask to fill ourselves, the ones we love, the people You have given us with this Joy in Christ Jesus. Lord and Savior.
We lift up the Nation, realizing the news is sensational and usually there is business as usual. We pray for peace.
We pray for the Joy of God to fill us as the sons of mankind are revealed. To rejoice in the Steadfastness of God Himself.
Lifting up our own prayer concerns and those given to us. For our friend to be totally healed of cancer.
To rejoice knowing how many prayers are said all over the world and the increase of Heaven on earth with Love and Mercy in Jesus.
Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
