Millions of people around the world have been forced into isolation as part of the global effort to stop the deadly coronavirus pandemic. Since no tourists are allowed in Israel during this time, CBN News is bringing Israel to you.

We are inviting you to join our virtual tour series and see Israel's most fascinating sites from the comfort of your own home. Ride with us on the Sea of Galilee, walk the ancient pilgrimage road to that Jesus once walked, and visit ancient Shiloh. 

This virtual tour page features the key moments and sites from the Six-Day War. 

The coronavirus can't stop this incredible journey. Watch the Bible come alive with us.

1. When Jewish people move to Israel from around the world it’s a joyful end to a long trip. We introduce you to one Jewish immigrant that paved the way for the exodus of two million Soviet Jews.

2. Today we take you to the place where David set up his capital city thousands of years ago – the original City of David in Jerusalem.

3. The Six-Day War 1967 was one of the most pivotal times in Israel’s history when the fate of the country was in the balance.  As John Waage told us several years ago, during this crucible, there was a voice calming the people of Israel.

4. We’ve spoken about CBN’s docudrama on the Six Day War In Our Hands. Today, we introduce you to the producer, Erin Zimmerman, at the place where a pivotal battle for Jerusalem took place:  Ammunition Hill.

5. The Six Day War played a pivotal role in the development of the Israel Defense Forces.  One of the first urban battles took place in Jerusalem and set the stage for future battles. We show you how the war’s impact is being felt more than 50 years later.

6. Archeologists have uncovered some of history's most significant finds during the past 53 years.  Those discoveries became possible when Israeli troops unified their ancient capital in June of 1967 for the first time in more than 2,000 years. 

7. The Six Day War was a frightening experience not only for the Israelis but also for Jews around the world who thought this might be another Holocaust.  But take a look at how God turned things around for Israel’s good.

8. Israeli-Palestinian peace plans of the past and present include Israel turning over land gained from the 1967 Six Day War in exchange for peace. We take you to Israel’s biblical heartland to find out what that means and why it’s so controversial.

9. A picture of three Israeli paratroopers at the Western Wall is probably the most enduring image from the 1967 Six Day War. CBN News spoke to the man who took the image – David Rubinger – to get the story behind the historic photo.

10. Earlier in our tour series, we visited the Golan Heights. Israel took control of the Golan Heights toward the end of the Six Day War and over the last 50 years that battle has proven to be one of the most strategic of the war. 

11. One of the biggest figures in Israel during the Six-Day War was Arik Achmon – a main player in the battle for Jerusalem. We take a look at the life of that man who had a huge impact on Israel’s past and future.

12. After 2,000 years of occupation by various world conquerors, Jerusalem was reunited under Jewish sovereignty in the 1967 Six Day War.  But since then, that victory pitted much of the world against Israel and even divided Israelis.  We take you to the streets of Israel to find out what people are saying about the war and Jerusalem. 

13. Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War not only saved the Jewish state but tells us it was considered a huge victory for the western world and paved the way for strategic ties between Israel and the US.

14. CBN has long dedicated itself to supporting Israel.  On the day that CBN was taking a major step forward, something big was happening inside the walls of Jerusalem.

15. The 1967 Six-Day War pitted a relatively young Israel against five established Arab armies.  One of the world’s superpowers also came dangerously close to entering the war, and that led to fears of a potential Armageddon.  Here’s a look at how close the world came to World War III.

16. Over the last two weeks we’ve been talking about some of the amazing outcomes of the 1967 Six Day War.  Today we want to show you a prophetic shift that occurred when the Temple Mount came back into Jewish hands - opening the door to the building of the third Jewish temple.  Some called it “a kiss from heaven.”
