Dear friends,
As I wrote in my previous post I told you that I intended to start Part 2 of my ‘Jerusalem Pilgrimage’. Lord willing, I’m starting this month with my new adventure. Unlike Part 1, this time I will be using other Long Distance Trails that will also take me to Jerusalem.
Starting point for this journey is the Central Station in Amsterdam. The first part of the Long Distance Trail I’ll use will be the ‘Floris V-path’ which in The Netherlands runs from Amsterdam to Bergen op Zoom. For an overview of this path you can click on the following link to the dutch hiking site ‘Wandelnet’.
If you want to go through the full route of Part 1 of my ‘Jerusalem Pilgrimage’ again, you can of course do so on this website, but also on our official Hiker Online website I wrote in more detail about the routes themselves. For an overview there of all the LDT’s I used in Part 1 click here.
For pics on the fly on this journey Iβll be using my ‘Pilgrims’s Corner’Β Instagram accountΒ just as I did with my previous trip.
Blessings!
Walter

Isaiah 2:2-3 KJV
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
THE GLORY OF ZION
Psalm 87 KJV
1 (A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.) His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
Psalm 48 KJV
1 (A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.) Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
