Herod the (not so) Great's pool on the
Mediterranean Sea in Caesarea (Caesarea Maritima)
The rectangular pool in this picture (before the time of Herod the (not so) Great) was the singular Harbor for Palestine. Herod the (not so) Great turned it into a pool for his palace and created one of the largest man-made harbors in all of the world circa 25 B.C.
While this is a most amazing feat...you can see how useful this harbor is today by how many ships are docked here. Yet the King that he sought to kill (holocaust of the Innocents-Matthew 2:16-18) remains enthroned not only in the Kingdom of heaven, but in the hearts and lives of His people to this very day.
