Taped on location in Jerusalem, with the people who have lived in the Holy City, on the ground every day. This series begins with the long story of Jerusalem, where Zola covers the 5,000-years-plus-eternity that is biblically specified, and ends with the beautiful music video containing all of Zola’s songs about the City of David.
Johann Luckoff, Director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, and several others reveal how and why they came to celebrate Jerusalem 3000.

Representatives from two Christian groups that support the Jewish people — Clarence Wagner from Bridges for Peace, Ray and Sharon Sanders from Christian Friends of Israel — explain the work of their organizations.
Messianic pastor Reuven Berger and local historian Kelvin Crombie show how Christ Church, located in the Old City, is bringing together Jew and Gentile in preparation for Jesus’ return.

Jan Willem van der Hoeven, spokesman for ICEJ, talks about Christian involvement in the celebration of Jerusalem 3000, European biases, and Hamas. Raphael Israeli, Professor of Islamic Studies at Hebrew University, examines Moslem fundamentalism, anti-Semitic education, and the sincerity of the peace talks.
Kaare Kristiansen explains why he resigned from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee rather than select Arafat for the prize. Zola finds Gary Cooperberg, spokesman for Kiryat Arba/Hebron, appreciative of Christian support but critical of the current surrendering of Jewish land.
