2025 Iron and Myth Tour of Israel

PLEASE NOTE NEW DATES: Due to the war, we have decided to reschedule our 2025 Israel tour from spring to fall. New dates will be announced shortly.

If you have put down a deposit and cannot accommodate the new dates, you can request a full refund of your deposit. Click here to go to the Lipkin Tours website.

Join Derek and Sharon Gilbert, with special guests Dr. Judd Burton, Doug Van Dorn, and Timothy Alberino, in the Holy Land in the fall of 2025! (Specific dates to be announced soon.)

We guarantee that this is different from any other tour of Israel!

For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.”

Psalm 132:13–14 (ESV)
Gilberts on the Temple Mount

We’ll visit God’s “mount of assembly,” Zion, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem — site of the prophesied Battle of Armageddon. The tour will include key sites in the long war between God and the rebellious “sons of God,” such as:

  • Mount Hermon, site of the Watchers’ rebellion and assembly of the pagan gods of Canaan
  • Banias, the Grotto of Pan
  • Shiloh, where the Tabernacle stood for centuries before Solomon built the Temple
  • Golan Heights, the long-ago kingdom of Bashan ruled by Og, last of the Rephaim
  • Joshua’s Altar on Mount Ebal
  • Qumran, where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered
  • Gilgal Refaim, the mysterious “Wheel of the Giants”
  • Beit El, where Jacob had a vision of angels traveling between Heaven and Earth
  • The Red Sea, where God humbled Pharaoh–and his personal gods
  • Argaman, where Israel placed a symbolic “footprint” on the way to Zion
  • The mysterious dolmens, megalithic tombs of the Travelers — the Rephaim!

And more—especially if you take advantage of the optional three-day extension to Jordan. See Mount Nebo, where Moses got his only look at the promised land, the red desert of Wadi Rum, and the breathtaking beauty of Petra.

As a bonus, come with us for an optional tour extension to Jordan!

Join the Gilberts on a unique tour of the ancient lands of Moab and Edom! We’ll visit Mount Nebo, the “mountain of the Travelers,” where Moses got his only look at the Promised Land. You’ll see the site of ancient Sodom and the place where Ezekiel foresaw the destruction of the end times army of Gog.

Then we’ll visit Petra—carved into the mountains of Seir by the Nabateans, lost to civilization until re-discovered by the Swiss explorer John Burkhardt, and made famous by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. And you’ll hear evidence that will convince you that Petra is far more important in the long supernatural war than you ever imagined!

Take advantage of this opportunity to see breathtaking natural beauty and Jordan’s fascinating connections to the Holy Land!

The groundbreaking new documentary Search for the Rephaim takes you on an eye-opening tour of the Holy Land — ground zero in the long war with the fallen realm.

Derek and Sharon Gilbert take you to mysterious Gilgal Refaim, created for the veneration of the dead, and show you a jaw-dropping, previously unknown serpent-shaped mound covered with megalithic tombs that’s far older and larger than the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio!

The Gilberts lead you to the altar of Joshua, through the tunnels beneath Jerusalem’s Old City, show you the real locations of the Crucifixion and burial tomb of Jesus, and then up to the Temple Mount, where the final battle of the ages will be fought — Armageddon.

They also take you to Mount Nebo overlooking the ancient plains of Moab and show you the site of biblical Sodom. They explain Sodom’s connection to the veneration of the Rephaim that brought disaster on Israel, and how it connects to Ezekiel’s end times prophecy of the war of Gog and Magog.

Finally, they take you on a one-of-a-kind tour of Petra to show you the forgotten, original location of Islam’s most sacred relic.

This two-hour tour of the Israel, with special guests Pastor Carl Gallups and messianic Rabbi Zev Porat, will open your eyes to the physical, historical reality of the supernatural war that’s been ongoing since Eden.

2025 Tour of Turkey

NOTE: Due to heightened tensions between Turkey and Israel since the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, we have cancelled our planned tour of Turkey April 7–23, 2025.

We plan to reschedule, as visiting Göbekli Tepe is a bucket list item for us, but the difficulty of traveling to Turkey from Israel right now complicates things.
