It is bordered to the north by the highlands of the Lower Galilee region, to the south by the Samarian highlands, to the west and northwest by the Mount Carmel range, and to the east by the Jordan Valley, with Mount Gilboa marking its southern extent.

Jezreel Valley (Armageddon): Battlefield, Breadbasket & Ancient Trade Route
At the end of the Tribulation, the Jezreel Valley is where the armies of the Beast will gather to fight against Jesus Christ our Lord; Armageddon. There have been more battles fought in The Valley than any other place on Earth. Much has happened there.
The Jezreel Valley was a part of an ancient trade route system, and it has been prime agricultural land since it was originally settled.
I have included several passages of scripture that tie in with the Jezreel Valley.
I may have mispronounced of some of the names in the narration, my apologies.

6. In 722 BC, the Jezreel and the northern Kingdom of Israel were conquered by the Assyrians, and many of the people were led away to Assyria as captives.

The new Jezreel Valley railway (Israel) - A description of the journey from Haifa to Beit She'an

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, "glide" over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and "see" the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

At the end of the Tribulation, the Jezreel Valley is where the armies of the Beast will gather to fight against Jesus Christ our Lord; Armageddon. There have been more battles fought in The Valley than any other place on Earth. Much has happened there.
The Jezreel Valley was a part of an ancient trade route system, and it has been prime agricultural land since it was originally settled.
I have included several passages of scripture that tie in with the Jezreel Valley.
I may have mispronounced of some of the names in the narration, my apologies.
