The # 1 Best Thing to Understand About Gibraltar – It's Christ's Rock of Defence.

The Ceremony of the Keys is performed once a year by the Royal Gibraltar Regiment and re-enacted every Saturday morning at midday by the Gibraltar Re-enactment Association. Since the capture of the Rock in 1704, the Keys of Gibraltar have symbolised the possession of the Fortress by Great Britain.
Founded in 2002, the Association celebrates and promotes Gibraltar's military history. The President of the Gibraltar Re-enactment Association Joseph Rodriguez, accompanied by Secretary Mr M Infante, presented the medallion to Minister Cortes in recognition of the support of the Ministry of Culture for the Association throughout its history.
The ONLY Key to Gibraltar's future is on The Flag - As a "Sign", of Gibraltar's renewed commitment to keeping The Covenant, when it makes that very serious commitment, the castle, on the flag, will have to be re-coloured back to its original blue (to demonstrate that the People agree that God and not Satan should rule Heaven).
Re-enactment Association in Changing of the Guard - How about they perform a ceremony, handing over the keys to the Real Governor of Gibraltar?
With or without their support or recognition - Christ HOLDS THE KEY to Gibraltar's Bright Future.
Minute 4:55 - "For the British, control of the Mediterranean rest literally on a rock: Gibraltar, guardian of the narrow strait that leads from the Atlantic to the sea in which serves as a moot around Hitler's southern flank..."
1952 Documentary Television Series about naval warfare during World War II and the warfare industry. There are 26 1/2 hour segments. The Series won an Emmy award in 1954 as "Best Public Affairs Program". This series played an important role in establishing historic "compilation" documentaries as a distinct genre. Malta, the central access point to various locations in the Mediterranean Sea is a key island possessed by the U.K. but also desired by the Germans and Italians. Malta was therefore subjected to 'round the clock bombing so as to garner it;s capitulation.Malta survives 1774 bombardments. With
Gibraltar also being the property of the U.K., every means must be taken to control entry into the Mediterranean Sea.

You may already know that the light-show in St. Michael's Cave is called "The Awakening" - Great title.
What you'll find interesting from the above report is this quote from Christian Wright, Wright Tech Media, who was referring to the new feature - an appearance of an angel, using the formation of the cave and the newly installed lights, "(the formation) was discovered by accident, and just almost felt like a bit of a sign, excuse the religious pun, but it was almost like St. Michael finally was found in the cave..."
‘The Awakening' at St Michael’s Cave
If they only realized the half of it -
Especially given the true awakening to come in Gibraltar.
A few errors, but lots of photos, including ones I haven't seen before:
At the Southern tip of the Spanish peninsula is a piece of land measuring under 7 km2, whose GDP per capita is one of the highest in the world: it's Gibraltar.
Gibraltar is one of Britain's overseas territories, and according to its citizens, it's happy to be one. Commuting to Spain for groceries and restaurants, welcoming thousands of Spaniards coming in for work daily, the lives of those living under the Rock are an extraordinary mix of English and Spanish culture.
We went to the country that Spain defined "the last colony in Europe" to ask a young Spanish person and a young Gibraltarian what it means to grow up under the Rock.
A bit of history and culture is told within the video.
Michelle Keegan uncovers some exceptional women on her family tree. On her mother's side Michelle discovers that her Gibraltarian great-grandmother Leonor had to up sticks when all women and children and the elderly were evacuated from harm's way in Gibraltar to the apparent safety of London during the Second World War, a month before the start of the Blitz.
Maybe she has social media to tell her about he real significance of Gibraltar.
We here preach to the choir mate

Found this tourism-type article today about Gibraltar. It does feature a video from Rick Steeves from 13 years ago, but the article is new.
by Kevin Erickson - excerpts:
Have you ever been struck by the urge to explore a place that's a melting pot of cultures, yet unmistakably unique? Nestled where the roaring Atlantic meets the tranquil Mediterranean lies the Rock of Gibraltar.
Kevin Erickson recalls the awe he felt standing atop the Rock of Gibraltar, gazing at two continents and two vast water bodies. But the intrigue doesn't end with panoramic views.
Erickson's escapades led him to some lesser-known treasures. "Don't miss the Mediterranean Steps," Kevin advises, "It's a slightly challenging hike but offers the best views!"
Setting foot on Gibraltar is like stepping into a time machine. Each layer of its dense history peels back to reveal tales of ancient sailors, fierce battles, and the eternal dance between empires. From the Phoenicians to the Moors, and from the Spanish to the British, this rock has seen civilizations rise and wane.
I found this interesting given he wrote Gibraltar is growing in popularity; and it's real Biblical history, where the tribe of Gad, and others, settled. Jeremiah The Prophet and Teia Tephi made it to Gibraltar where they hid The Ark of the Covenant in St. Michael's Cave. Find out more about Gibraltar's history and bright future - His Rock of Defence

A concise summary of Gibraltar and Spain's Border Dispute.
Is Gibraltar British or Spanish? - It's British.
I love the fact that a castle is featured on top of The Rock in this old drawing - see article.
Prior to the history the article mentions, Israelites made their way to Gibraltar - His Rock of Defence.
The Great Siege Tunnels were extended in two directions during the war, with a long straight extension called the Holyland Tunnel continuing through to the east side of the Rock, so named because it points in the direction of Jerusalem; and a staircase dug to link the tunnels with other Second World War tunnels lower down, known as the Middle Galleries.
Holyland Tunnel
Holyland Tunnel was excavated during the second World War as were most of the 33 miles of tunnels inside the Rock. Its name is taken from the fact that the tunnel points directly to the Holy Land. The spoil from digging these tunnels was used to build the runway which was completed in time for the invasion of North Africa during the Second World War. It is today used by both military and civil aircraft.
It is part of the Great Siege Tunnels, Upper Galleries.
First paragraph: The ledge known as Holyland was inaccessible until the preceding tunnel was built in 1785, just a few years after the Great Siege. It is unknown, however, if any guns were ever positioned here. Subsequent records show that a Fire Commanders Post was constructed in 1908-09, the remains of which are still extant.
A Garrison in the Dark - Part: 2 – Upper & Middle Galleries (1994):
Timecode 12:20 from video below – "Holyland Tunnel leads us to the end of the Upper Galleries and so to one of the most spectacular views of the Eastern side of The Rock. Holyland got its name because it leads to a ledge overlooking Catalan Bay until no one was able to reach until this tunnel was excavated. The legde itself was known as the Holyland."
Ledge is shown in the old video
There are six parts to A Garrison in The Dark on Gibraltar History YT Channel.
