Where is Joppa?

Yaffa Seawall with Tel Aviv in the Far Distance

...they traveled by a circuitous route toward Joppa, and endeavored to gain a passage into Ethiopia...

So, where is Joppa?

An Answer

As Freemasons, we hear of this city, as a destination by three villains, but we are never told where Joppa is, only that it is a "seaport" town, which from context, must be relatively near Jerusalem. As far as historical records, we read that "The gate of Joppa" are noted in the Tell el-Amarna Letters as guarded by an Egyptian officer in the service of the Pharoah Amenhotep IV(1). Relative to the temple of Solomon, Jonathas, the Chronicler reports that the cedars of Lebanon were brought in on floats, where they were transported to Jerusalem by the workmen of the king of Tyre.(2)

In The image above, Yaffa is on the bottom far right and Tel Aviv
at the far left top. The Traffic circle is the downtown.


Joppa, today called Yaffa (Jafa), is a suburb of Tel Aviv, 32.8 miles as the crow flies from Jerusalem. It is written that the pillars of the Temple could be seen from Tel Aviv, due to the Temple Mount raising the structure above the line of sight of the hills between there and the coast. Modern Yafa is built on a rocky mound, 116 ft. high, at the edge of the sea.

A reef of rocks runs parallel to the shore a short distance out and affords a certain amount of protection from weather and the sea. There is a gap in the reef through which the boats pass, though during a storm the passage is dangerous even today. On one of these rocks Perseus is said to have rescued the chained Andromeda from the dragon.

Yafa is a prosperous town, profiting much by the annual streams of pilgrims who pass through it on their way to visit the holy places. Trade passes through the port to this day, with ships arriving from Egypt, Syria and Constantinople.












Yaffa is the seaport on the left and Jerusalem on the far Right



So now you know where Joppa is.

  2. Freemasonry has a philosophy of "Making Good Men Better" and is very proud of this.  Only individuals therefore who are believed to be of good character would be considered for membership, It is best if you join a Lodge in your local community or where you already have some friends who are members. If you know anyone who is a Mason then just ask him about it as any Mason will be happy to talk to you about becoming a member of the Fraternity he is proud of.  If you do not know of anyone who can help you join then feel free to send an e-mail to our  Lodge Secretary  who will be happy to give you information about the locality of Lodges in your area, or how to become a member of The Celtic Lodge.  Contact Brother Roland Mark PM Lodge Email: Markroland08011@gmail.com

Just a note about comments on this blog.

Comment posting is set to "moderated" and also, I am no longer accepting anonymous posting.

The comments are moderated because I have no interest in seeing vulgar material on my blog. I have gone to blocking anonymous posting because it appears to be much easier to be insulting and inappropriate if you don't have to put your name on it.

So, if you want to say something, be polite, post in good taste, and be willing to stand up for what you say by IDing yourself, or don't bother.
