Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
Psalm 98:7
the world, and all who live in it.
I’ve spent some time around the Sea of Galilee the last few days. It has allowed me to see the lake from several angles. The lake is about 700 feet below sea level, nestled in the Rift Valley with hills going up it on most sides.
The Sea of Galilee is also a major source of Israel’s water supply today. Because of drought conditions, the lake has been dropping, but the last couple winters it has risen a couple meters! You can follow its depth at Kinneret Bot (Lake Kinneret is another name for the Sea of Galilee). I enjoyed comparing the water level from when I was last there.
