Time Of Jesus: No Fireplaces?! How Jerusalem Homes Stayed Warm Through Deadly Winters

Winter in first-century Jerusalem wasn’t the warm, sun-soaked scene many imagine. With near-freezing nights, scarce firewood, and no modern fireplaces or chimneys in most homes, families relied on survival strategies like portable braziers with charcoal, layered wool garments, raised sleeping platforms, and even the body heat of animals brought indoors. In this video, we explore the harsh reality of Judean winters through archaeology, ancient sources, and key Gospel details—like the “charcoal fire” in John 18:18 and Jesus teaching during winter at the Feast of Dedication (John 10:22–23). Understanding how people fought the cold transforms how we read passages about cloaks, generosity, hospitality, and the radical ethics of early Christian community. Watch to the end to see how the struggle for warmth sheds new light on Jesus’ teachings—and why biblical hospitality was often a matter of life and death.
