View Northeast from Mt. Tabor to Mount of Beatitudes and Upper Galilee

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "We are now near the foot of the Mount of the Beatitudes as it is called. You observe its peculiar form, somewhat like a saddle, with its two summits, and a depression between them. This form has given the mountain its modern name, "The Horns of Hattin". One of those two eminences Jesus climbed alone and remained there all night in prayer; for he had a most important decision to make, the choice of his twelve apostles, the men who were to witness his works and listen to his words and then to go forth and preach his gospel to the world. When the morning came, he descended near to the plain between the hills, called his twelve chosen ones, and to them and to the multitude which had assembled from every quarter of the land, he gave the Sermon on the Mount, the longest discourse found in the New Testament, setting forth the standards of an ideal humanity."
