In quality of construction and theming, the Holy Land
Experience compares favorably with some of the finest
museums found anywhere in America. And in terms of
Christ-honoring Christian venues, we believe it sets a new
standard.
In purpose, the Holy Land Experience is a world apart. While both fun and
exciting for the whole family, its singular purpose is to provide answers to
life's most important questions: Where did I come from? Why am I
here? Where am I going? What is life really all about?
In fulfillment of purpose, the
Holy Land experience has
been totally dependent on God for his provision and
direction. We have been humbled to be a part of it. We
would be truly honored to have you visit us at the
Holy
Land Experience here in beautiful Orlando, Florida. Come
join us for the journey of a lifetime!
Shows and Attractions
The Wilderness Tabernacle
This 25-minute show takes place indoors around a re-creation of the portable
tabernacle carried by Moses and his people as they wandered in the wilderness
following their deliverance from Egypt, as described in the Old Testament.
A live actor, accompanied by a few lighting, projection, and sound effects,
acts out a portion of the ceremony of animal sacrifice as a narrator describes
the rites. Near the end of the show a whirlpool of carbon dioxide and fog
juice stands in for God making an appearance over the Ark of the Covenant.
As a finale a projected image of the nativity appears to tie the ancient
Jewish rites to Jesus as their fulfillment as Messiah.
Orlando of Life
The 25-minute film The Seed of Promise, accompanied by a few in
Orlando lighting effects, carries on the theme of Christ as the ultimate
sacrifice. It opens with the priests continuing to sacrifice as the Romans
invade the temple in A.D. 70, intercut with a rather graphic depiction
of Jesus being nailed to the cross. A flashback to the Garden of Eden is
next, followed by the story of Abraham and the near sacrifice of Isaac
and then back to the crucifixion and resurrection, presented as the ultimate
sacrifice.
The Jerusalem Model
Said to be the largest indoor model of Jerusalem in the world, this detailed
scale display depicts the city in A.D. 66. Half-hour lectures discuss the
development of the city and use the model to trace the movements of Jesus
in his final days.
The Plaza of Nations
Roman columns surround this plaza in front of the imposing Herodian Temple.
A biblical musical drama, Today's the Day is presented on the steps
of the temple several times a day.
Calvary's Garden
Tomb
This display re-creates Jesus' open and empty tomb in a setting
that includes plants and trees indigenous to the Holy Land. A musical presentation
about the resurrection is held here several times a day.
The Qumran Dead
Sea Caves
A display on the Dead Sea Scrolls is set to open Fall 2001
in this scale copy of the caves where they were found in 1947. A biblical
artifact museum, The Scriptorium, is also in the works for 2002. |
