Nathaniel Buzolic Visits Biblical Landmark, Asks Followers To Join Him In Old Testament Challenge
By Movieguide® Contributor
HACKSAW RIDGE star Nathaniel Buzolic recently shared a photo of a trip to Israel and reflected on the past year.
“I’m standing at the ancient ruins of Tel Shilo,” the actor wrote. The city of Shilo is an important location in Jewish history, and is the place where the Tabernacle resided for many years.
His caption continued, “This was one of the most spectacular sunsets I have seen in Israel to date. My group was watching an interactive video inside the visitors center and I had a moment to take in this place and what God was doing with the people who lived here. Hannah’s prayer would be answered here in first Samuel and Samuel the prophet would bring about a new age In the Israelite story. He would pave the way for a king to be anointed.”
Buzolic then took some time to encourage his fans to join him in a 35-day reading challenge.
“It’s been a long year for me, I’m exhausted,” he wrote. “I’m writing this caption at yet another airport lounge waiting for yet another delayed flight.”
“But tomorrow when I return to Sydney I’m going to set myself another challenge,” Buzolic continued. “A 35 day Old Testament task. And I want you to join me. From genesis to Malachi read for an hour and a half each day to get through God’s story before the messiah would enter into our stories.”
Buzolic frequently posts pictures of his trips to Biblical landmarks. Movieguide® previously reported:
Hollywood Actor Nathaniel Buzolic, known for his role in HACKSAW RIDGE, has taken a break from acting to share the truths of God’s Word to his 2.8 million followers on Instagram.
Buzolic recently embarked on a 40-day long journey to read through the entire Bible and invited his followers to complete the challenge alongside him.
“I am going to take on another Bible challenge. Entire Bible, Cover to cover in 40 days,” Buzolic wroteon his Instagram in May. “Reading requirements will be a minimum of 2 hours everyday for 40 days. If you would like to join me I’m starting on this Wednesday the 5th of May till the 14th of June.”
Buzolic previously shared in an Instagram post why he believes the Bible is an essential tool in all Christian’s lives.
“God’s word and reading God’s word, simply allows you access to enjoy further understand and enjoy His character and nature. There isn’t one verse or one book in the Bible that does that better then another, it’s every word God combined as a whole that will truly make you fall in love with who He reveals He is,” he wrote. “No one will fall in love with God without knowing him. Just as you can’t truly fall in love with another person without truly knowing them inside and out.
“If your relationship today with God is somehow lacking, more then likely it’s because your understanding of who He is, is lacking,” he added. “So open up His word & live in it so you can live for it every single day. Love is a beautiful thing, and the Christian’s journey should be a NEVER ENDING discovery of Our lord and our God – the HOLY FATHER & HIS PERFECTLY Sent son – Jesus.”
More recently, Buzolic shared highlights from his recent trip across Croatia and Greece, stopping at significant historical sights from the Bible.
While at the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian located on the island of Patmos, Buzolic shared the story of John.
“The Last surviving disciple of Jesus was Here on the island of Patmos on account of the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus,” Buzolic wrote. “John is responsible for recording the gospel of John, first, second & third John as well as the book of revelation which outlines the conclusion of God’s story of redemption & judgment on an evil world.”
Buzolic quoted John 1 and reflected on the victory over death that is in Christ Jesus.
“The Evil one has ruled & seduced the will of men long enough. BUT God is taking back His Good world once He has established a people worthy of His kingdom,” Buzolic reflected. “Those who confess that the Goodness of the Son is the ONLY reason they are saved, those who humbly accept the impossibility of any salvation without the Blood offering of the Son are those who are worthy of God’s forgiveness. Seek Jesus.”
