• 00:55 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:57 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 00:58 I'M PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU AGAIN
• 01:00 TO ANOTHER EDITION OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 01:02 AND PERHAPS YOU'RE NOT HERE BY CHANCE.
• 01:06 THE LORD RAISED UP MORDECAI AND IT WASN'T BY CHANCE.
• 01:09 THE LORD RAISED UP ESTHER AND IT WASN'T BY CHANCE.
• 01:12 SPEAKING OF "CHANCE",
• 01:13 DID YOU EVER HEAR THE EXPRESSION "ROLLING THE DICE"?
• 01:16 WELL THE DICE WERE ROLLED,
• 01:17 THE "PUR" IN THE BOOK OF ESTHER.
• 01:20 AND THOSE DICE WERE ROLLED AND A STORY UNFOLDED.
• 01:23 WELL SPEAKING OF "STORY UNFOLDS"...
• 01:26 MORDECAI, A HERO IN THE STORY, HEARS OF A PLOT TO KILL THE KING
• 01:30 AND HE INFORMS ESTHER AND THE STORY UNFOLDS.
• 01:37 WHILE KING XERXES GARNERED FAVOR WITH MOST OF HIS SUBJECTS
• 01:41 THERE WERE THOSE WHO WOULD USURP THE THRONE.
• 01:44 WHILE SITTING AT THE KING'S GATE
• 01:47 MORDECAI OVERHEARS A DISTURBING CONVERSATION.
• 01:50 HE MEETS WITH ESTHER AND INFORMS HER OF A WICKED PLOT.
• 02:42 CONTRARY TO THE POPULAR MYTHOLOGY,
• 02:45 JEWS ARE A GOOD, JUST, EQUITABLE PEOPLE.
• 02:51 OH TO BE SURE WE HAVE OUR SCOUNDRELS
• 02:55 BUT THESE PROVED TO BE THE EXCEPTION AND NOT THE RULE.
• 03:00 I THINK TORAH FORMATION BEING BUILT ATOP BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES
• 03:04 HAS A WAY OF DEVELOPING CHARACTER IN INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE THERE.
• 03:09 WELL THAT'S THE REALITY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 03:13 THE MYTH, HOWEVER, IS THAT JEWS ARE A HORRIBLE LOT, A MISERABLE LOT.
• 03:19 WE SEE IN THE BOOK OF ESTHER CHAPTER 2 WHERE MORDECAI IS SAVING THE KING.
• 03:25 XERXES, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT IS ABOUT TO BE UNDONE BY A SCHEME.
• 03:30 MORDECAI DISCOVERS IT AND HE INFORMS THE QUEEN AND IT TURNS OUT TO HIS SALVATION.
• 03:36 THIS TO ME, FOR MY MONEY, IS PROTOTYPICAL OF HOW JEWS IN SO MANY WAYS BRING SO MUCH RELIEF AND SALVATION TO SO MANY PEOPLE
• 03:44 BUT THAT'S NOT THE STORY THAT'S TOLD.
• 03:48 PREFERRED OVER THE FACTS ARE MYTHS OF JEWS BEING A GREEDY SORT, JEWS BEING A VILE SORT,
• 03:58 JEWS BEING WORTHLESS,
• 04:00 JEWS BEING GREEDY,
• 04:02 THE WORLD BEING IN THE "CLUTCHES" OF THE JEWS,
• 04:05 THE JEWS SUCKING LIFE OUT OF PEOPLE.
• 04:07 AND THAT'S THE MYTH THAT PREVAILS JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS BORDER
• 04:12 WHERE IRANIAN PROXIES ARE IN PLACE
• 04:15 AND FROM WHICH HERE IN LEBANON THEY LOB MISSILES OVER HERE INTO KIRYAT SHMONA;
• 04:23 22,000 PEOPLE LIVE OVER HERE.
• 04:26 THERE'S A NICE DENSE POPULATION.
• 04:28 THOSE OVER HERE THINK IT'S A GREAT TARGET
• 04:31 AND THEY JUST INDISCRIMINATELY LOB THEIR MISSILES
• 04:35 ON THE BASIS OF BIZARRE CONSTRUAL OF HISTORY THAT JEWISH ZIONISTS ARE BENT ON THE CONQUEST OF PEOPLES,
• 04:45 PEOPLES THAT THEY SUBDUE AND THEN SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF THEM.
• 04:51 OH THE MYTH IS INCREDIBLE,
• 04:53 THE MYTH IS VERY REAL.
• 04:55 BUT THE TESTIMONY IN BIBLICAL LITERATURE IS VERY TRUE.
• 05:00 AND FROM THIS PLACE WITH THIS BOOK
• 05:03 I OBSERVE... TAKING MY LEAD FROM MORDECAI, A GORGEOUS STORY HERE,
• 05:08 A STORY ABOUT A GOOD MAN,
• 05:11 A STORY ABOUT A JEWISH MAN
• 05:13 WHO'S A GOOD CITIZEN IN THE WORLD WHERE HE INHABITS
• 05:16 AND HE'S GIVEN TO BEING A BLESSING AND A HELP TO THE WORLD WHERE HE ABIDES.
• 05:21 AND THAT MY FRIEND ISN'T JUST THE STORY OF MORDECAI,
• 05:24 THAT IS SO MUCH THE STORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND IT AMAZES ME.
• 05:29 I'M PERPLEXED, NOT JUST AMAZED WITH WONDERMENT,
• 05:32 BUT IT'S PERPLEXING;
• 05:33 JEWS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS
• 05:37 AND THERE ARE TO DATE ABOUT 15 MILLION JEWS ON PLANET EARTH.
• 05:42 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 05:44 IT'S BECAUSE DEMONIC FORCES ARE FOREVER BENT
• 05:47 ON HIVING OFF SECTIONS OF THE JEWISH POPULATION.
• 05:51 NOT LONG AGO IN MY PARENT'S GENERATION 6 MILLION JEWS WERE SLAUGHTERED.
• 05:57 AND IF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GENERATING THE FERMENTING DISCONTENT IN COMING OVER HERE FROM LEBANON...
• 06:04 IF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR WAY ANOTHER 6 MILLION JEWS WILL BE DESTROYED
• 06:08 AND THAT IS THESE THAT ARE DWELLING IN ISRAEL PROPER.
• 06:22 AND THE KING EXALTED HAMAN TILL HE WAS ABOVE ALL THE PRINCES IN THE KINGDOM.
• 06:28 ALL OF THE KING'S SERVANTS WOULD BOW BEFORE HIM...
• 06:31 EXCEPT FOR ONE NAMED MORDECAI.
• 07:20 IT'S LIKE FAIRY TALE FROM YESTERDAY,
• 07:24 A STORY LONG AGO REPLETE WITH THE RAGS TO RICHES QUEEN,
• 07:29 A HEINOUS VILLAIN,
• 07:31 ALL THE INGREDIENTS OF FAIRY TALE.
• 07:35 THE PROBLEM IS IT'S A STORY THAT BELONGS TO TODAY AS MUCH AS YESTERDAY.
• 07:43 AND IT'S NO FAIRY TALE
• 07:45 BUT A TALE IT IS.
• 07:48 WE READ IN THE BOOK OF ESTHER IN CHAPTER 3, VERSE 2,
• 08:03 THERE WAS A VILLAIN HAMAN WHO DEMANDED THAT INDIVIDUALS BOW THEMSELVES TO HIM.
• 08:09 MORDECAI WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT.
• 08:12 IT RAISES THE QUESTION IF THERE'S A TIME WHEN INDIVIDUALS WITH BIBLICAL VIRTUE
• 08:17 NEED TO STAND UP AND RESIST EVIL PEOPLE
• 08:21 EVEN IF IT MEANS GOING AGAINST THE PREVAILING CURRENTS OR EVEN FROM WHAT'S SANCTIONED.
• 08:27 THE INDIVIDUALS NEED TO STAND UP "AT SUCH A TIME AS THIS".
• 08:32 WELL MORDECAI BELIEVED HE NEEDED TO STAND UP.
• 08:37 HAMAN IN RESPONSE SAID THAT THIS JEW AND ALL THE JEWS NEED TO BE PUT DOWN.
• 08:46 IN ESTHER CHAPTER 3, VERSE 6 IN MY VERSION AND THEN YOURS WE'RE TOLD,
• 09:09 A BETTER MAN MAY HAVE BEEN OFFENDED BY ONE MAN AND THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT
• 09:14 BUT NO, SO VITIATED, SO DEFILED WAS HAMAN, KNOWING HE WAS A JEW,
• 09:21 THE ANGST HE FELT ABOUT MORDECAI STIMULATED JUICES WITHIN HIM TO DESTROY A RACE OF PEOPLE.
• 09:30 THAT FRIENDS, IS TRAGIC.
• 09:34 AND YOU KNOW FRIENDS, THAT STORY AS WELL IS TODAY.
• 09:38 YESTERDAY THERE WAS A HAMAN, OH YES THERE WAS,
• 09:41 AND THAT HAMAN WAS IN PERSIA.
• 09:43 ANCIENT PERSIA IS WHERE MODERN IRAN IS AND SIMILARLY THERE'S A HAMAN THERE TOO.
• 09:51 HIS NAME IS AHMADINEJAD.
• 09:54 SIMILARLY AT THIS VERY SHELTER WHERE I AM STANDING RIGHT NOW...
• 09:58 AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE BOWELS OF IT WITH ME IN A MOMENT...
• 10:01 IN THIS VERY SHELTER PEOPLE FLEE BECAUSE ROCKETS RAIN DOWN ON THIS PLACE.
• 10:10 THE JEWISH POPULATION IS DENSE HERE AND WHAT HAPPENS HERE IS
• 10:15 TERRORISTS KNOW THEY CAN HIT A CIVILIAN TARGET SO THEY JUST UNLEASH ROCKETS WITH FURY.
• 10:23 AND THIS ANGER, THIS FURY,
• 10:26 THESE ARMS THAT BEAR DOWN ON JEWISH PEOPLE ARE SPONSORED BY IRAN OF TODAY.
• 10:34 HEZBOLLAH IN EFFECT IS THEIR PROXY.
• 10:37 AND SO MUCH AS YESTERDAY WE SEE PERSIAN INTRIGUE.
• 10:42 WE SEE AN INDIVIDUAL BENT ON DESTROYING ALL THE JEWS.
• 10:46 SO TODAY IN THIS PLACE MANY JEWS RUN FOR REFUGE
• 10:51 AS FORCES FROM IRAN BRING PRESSURE TO BEAR TO DESTROY THE JEWS EVEN STILL.
• 10:59 COME WITH ME...LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE DOWN HERE.

• 14:02 WE HAVE A MAGAZINE CALLED "THE LEVITT LETTER"...
• 14:04 LOVE TO GET IN YOUR HANDS
• 14:05 AND IT REALLY IS YOURS FOR THE ASKING.
• 14:08 YOU CALL THAT NUMBER 1-800-WONDERS
• 14:10 OR GO TO OUR WEBSITE WWW.LEVITT.COM
• 14:14 WE GOT GOOD STUFF FOR YOU.
• 14:17 AN OFFER COMING UP LATER IN THIS PROGRAM...
• 14:19 "SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN".
• 14:22 IT'S A SERIES I DID WITH SANDRA LEVITT SOME YEARS AGO.
• 14:25 WE EXPLORE WONDERFUL BIBLICAL WOMEN.
• 14:28 AND NOW OFF TO A NOT SO WONDERFUL BIBLICAL MAN...
• 14:33 HAMAN...AND EVIL WAS THAT MAN.
• 16:11 MOMS GRAB THEIR KIDS BY THE ARM
• 16:13 AND THEY BRING THEM DOWN HERE.
• 16:17 WHAT'S THE "HERE"?
• 16:18 IT'S A BIG ROOM;
• 16:20 IT'S A SHELTER DEEP UNDERGROUND HERE IN NORTHERN ISRAEL.
• 16:24 IT'S NICE TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES BUT ITS SAD
• 16:27 BECAUSE THEY ARE PUT ON THE WALLS TO DISTRACT THE CHILDREN
• 16:32 BECAUSE MOMS BRING THEM HERE IN HASTE BECAUSE THERE'S ROCKETS GOING ON UPTOWN RIGHT ABOVE
• 16:42 AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
• 16:44 AND THEY HAVE 60 SECONDS TO GRAB THEM AND GET THEM IN HERE BECAUSE PEOPLE GET KILLED.
• 16:49 AND YOU WANT TO TAKE THEIR MIND OFF THEIR TROUBLES
• 16:52 SO THERE'S SOME CARTOONS TO LIGHTEN THE ATMOSPHERE,
• 16:55 THERE'S BOOKS ALL OVER THE PLACE,
• 16:57 IT'S A LITTLE LIBRARY TO GET THE KIDS OFF THE CURRENT TO GET THEM INTO A BOOK.
• 17:04 I WANT TO GET YOU INTO A BOOK TOO.
• 17:09 IT'S A BOOK THAT TALKS ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE
• 17:12 IN THE SENSE THAT IT REMINDS THAT IT'S AN OLD, OLD STORY.
• 17:17 THE ROCKETS THAT ARE COMING INTO ISRAEL FORCING PEOPLE UNDERGROUND...
• 17:21 A LOT OF THIS IS FUNDED BY IRANIAN INTRIGUE
• 17:26 AND SIMILARLY HERE IN THE BOOK OF ESTHER PLAYED OUT IN ANCIENT PERSIA,
• 17:33 WHICH WOULD BE THE LAND WHERE IRAN IS TODAY,
• 17:36 HERE THERE WAS A SCHEME ENACTED TO DESTROY ALL JEWS
• 17:40 AND IT'S EXPLICIT THAT THE DEATH SENTENCE EXTENDS TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN ALIKE.
• 17:48 IT'S NOT A VERY GOOD STORY.
• 17:50 IN ESTHER CHAPTER 3, VERSE 13,
• 17:53 I'LL READ IT IN MY VERSION
• 17:55 AND THEN GIVE IT TO YOU IN A WAY THAT'S MORE UNDERSTANDABLE TO YOU.
• 18:09 AND BY THE WAY...
• 18:10 THE PERSIAN MAIL SYSTEM WAS SO EFFICIENT
• 18:15 THAT IT WAS EVEN A MODEL FOR OUR OWN "PONY EXPRESS" IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT.
• 18:19 WELL HERE HAMAN DISPATCHES THESE INDIVIDUALS CARRYING LETTERS
• 18:31 AND HERE IT IS...ITS UGLY...
• 18:53 AND IT SAYS EXPLICITLY
• 19:09 ♪OUT OF ZION...ZION...HMMM♪
• 19:13 ♪COMES YOUR SALVATION...YEAH ...HMMM♪

• 22:06 I LOVE THAT SONG "OUT OF ZION" BY SHARON WILBUR.
• 22:10 GOOD THINGS COME OUT OF ZION
• 22:12 AND THE DEVIL GOES AFTER THE GOOD THINGS
• 22:13 DOESN'T HE DR. MALLIN?
• 22:15 AMEN...
• 22:16 WITH ALL VENGEANCE
• 22:17 YES AND THE STORY IS TRAGIC AT ONE LEVEL
• 22:20 THE WAY THE DEVIL'S BEEN HOUNDING JEWS.
• 22:22 HAVE YOU EVER HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THAT?
• 22:24 YES WHEN I WAS A YOUNGER PERSON
• 22:27 STANDING AT A BUS STOP WITH FRIENDS.
• 22:30 THE NEXT DAY, THAT MORNING,
• 22:32 I WENT WAITING FOR THE BUS
• 22:34 AND WAS CALLED A "CHRIST KILLER".
• 22:36 OF COURSE IT BROUGHT MUCH UPSET.
• 22:38 I'M NOT A KILLER...
• 22:40 I DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY
• 22:41 AND I REALLY HAD NEVER ASSOCIATED....
• 22:43 HOW OLD WERE YOU?
• 22:44 TEN
• 22:45 AND HOW OLD WERE THOSE WHO WERE ACCUSING YOUR...
• 22:46 TEN, ELEVEN,TWELVE YEAR OLD CHILDREN
• 22:48 WHERE DO KIDS GET THAT STUFF?
• 22:49 I DON'T KNOW.
• 22:50 BUT WE KNOW IT'S FROM THE ENEMY
• 22:52 AND GOD CHOSE THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 22:53 TO BRING FORTH HIS MESSIAH
• 22:55 AND THE DEVIL HAS TRIED TO DESTROY THEM EVER SINCE.
• 22:57 YEAH CAUSE LIKE SHARON SANG
• 22:59 "OUT OF ZION COMES YOUR SALVATION".
• 23:01 WHILE THE DEVIL'S IN HOT PURSUIT.
• 23:03 YES, YES
• 23:04 HE NEVER WINS.
• 23:05 IT'S TRAGIC, THERE'S KIND OF A SPIRITUAL ZION
• 23:07 THAT TEACHES THAT THE JEWS ARE "CHRIST KILLERS".
• 23:10 IT'S SAD TO THINK THAT PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY HEAR THAT STORY IN THE CHURCH
• 23:12 BUT THEY DO.
• 23:13 WE EVEN FIND UNTRUTHS IN THE PEWS.
• 23:17 YES THAT'S WELL SAID
• 23:18 AND IT'S A TRAGIC POINT...
• 23:20 IT SOURS ME AT ONE LEVEL.
• 23:21 WE NEED TO CONSIDER THE STORY OF ANTI-SEMITISM
• 23:25 AND THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT HELPS US TO DO THAT.
• 23:28 AS DR. MALLIN SAID IT'S A STORY THAT SHE EXPERIENCED,
• 23:32 THAT I EXPERIENCED,
• 23:33 THE JEWS EXPERIENCE.
• 23:35 I'M GLAD THAT'S NOT YOU...
• 23:36 YOU LOVE THE JEW...
• 23:37 THAT'S WHY YOU'RE WATCHING THE PROGRAM.
• 23:38 BUT NOT EVERYBODY LOVES US.
• 23:40 ZOLA'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND MORE.
• 23:44 I'M AFRAID HAMAN OF PURIM
• 23:47 IS NOT THE FIRST PRIME MINISTER
• 23:49 OR KING OR CAESAR
• 23:50 WHO WANTED TO GET RID OF THE JEWS.
• 23:52 THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO PHARAOH WHO ENSLAVED THE HEBREWS
• 23:56 AND THEN AFTER SETTING THEM FREE
• 23:58 TRIED TO CHASE AFTER THEM TO GET THEM BACK.
• 24:00 IT GOES THROUGH NEBUCHADNEZZAR WHO DESTROYED THE TEMPLE...
• 24:03 ANTIOCHUS WHO DESECRATED IT AND CAUSING THE RE-DEDICATION THAT IS THE CHANUKAH.
• 24:11 TITUS WHO CRASHED DOWN THE SECOND TEMPLE IN 70 A.D.,
• 24:14 HADRIAN, THE ANTI-SEMITIC ROMAN EMPEROR WHO RE-NAMED THE LAND PALESTINA OR PALESTINE
• 24:22 IN MEMORY OF THE PHILISTINES ANCIENT GREEKS,
• 24:27 NOT ARABS WHO LIVED THERE A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE
• 24:30 AND WERE THE WORST ENEMIES OF THE JEWS...HE CHOSE THEIR NAME.
• 24:33 OF COURSE THE JEWISH PROBLEM IS THEY...GOD CHOSE THEM.
• 24:37 I MEAN EVERYBODY WANTS TO REPLACE THEM SO TO SPEAK.
• 24:40 THIS IS THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY...
• 24:42 GET RID OF THE PEOPLE GOD CHOSE.
• 24:46 WELL YOU HEARD WHAT THE MAN SAID AND IT WASN'T PLEASANT.
• 24:50 ISN'T IT LIKE THE DEVIL TO GO AFTER THE JEWS?
• 24:52 AND HE DOES
• 24:53 AND HE DOES IT IN THEOLOGICAL DRESSING SOMETIMES.
• 24:56 REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY ARGUES THAT WE'RE JUST DONE...GOD HATES US.
• 24:59 YES, YES
• 25:01 THERE IS CONFUSION
• 25:04 AND PEOPLE REALLY
• 25:05 HAVEN'T TAKEN THE TIME
• 25:07 TO REALLY EXAMINE THE WORD TO SEE THE PROMISES
• 25:09 THAT GOD HAS SPECIFICALLY FOR HIS PEOPLE THE JEW.
• 25:12 HE HAS PROMISES FOR JEWS
• 25:14 AND HE HAS PROMISES FOR PEOPLE TO GET BEHIND US DOESN'T HE?
• 25:16 YES, YES
• 25:18 HE LOVES ISRAEL,
• 25:20 HE LOVES THE JEW,
• 25:21 AND AS GOD HAS PRESERVED THE JEW
• 25:24 THAT'S AN ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ALL US BELIEVERS...
• 25:27 THAT HIS PROMISES FOR THEM ARE PROMISES FOR US.
• 25:29 HE'S NOT DONE WITH THE JEW;
• 25:31 HE HASN'T REPLACED THEM AT ALL.
• 25:32 IT SURPRISES ME THAT THERE ARE SO FEW OF US AFTER 4,000 YEARS...
• 25:35 IT TESTIFIES TO GOD'S KEEPING POWER, DIFFICULTIES NOTWITHSTANDING.
• 25:39 YES, YES
• 25:41 I ALWAYS THINK OF THAT VERSE THAT HIS WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OURS
• 25:44 AND HIS THOUGHTS LOFTIER THAN OURS
• 25:46 AND WE MUST TRUST HIM
• 25:47 EVEN THE FACE OF TIMES OF ANTI-SEMITISM AND PERSECUTION.
• 25:51 AND ESTHER EXPERIENCED THAT TIME.
• 25:52 SHE TRUSTED HIM AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.
• 25:54 HMMM, HMMM
• 25:56 BUT SHE ROSE.
• 25:57 SHE ROSE AND I THINK GOD CAN MAKE HIS PEOPLE RISE,
• 25:59 DIFFICULTIES NOTWITHSTANDING...
• 26:01 AND YOU?
• 26:01 YES KEEP THE FAITH,
• 26:02 PRESS ON AND BELIEVE.
• 26:05 YES AND THAT'S A GOOD CLOSING NOTE BY THE WAY
• 26:07 BECAUSE ESTHER DID JUST THAT.
• 26:09 WE'RE GOING TO BE NEXT WEEK LOOKING AT A STORY OF HOW ESTHER WAS FACED.
• 26:14 SHE WAS IN THE THROWS AND NEEDED TO MAKE A DECISION WHO SHE WAS AND SHE FACED A BIG TRIAL.
• 26:20 AND I KNOW THAT YOU DO AS WELL.
• 26:22 I HOPE YOU'LL OPT TO STAND WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE, BY THE WAY,
• 26:25 DIFFICULTIES IN THIS WORLD ASIDE.
• 26:26 WE NEED ALL THE FRIENDS THAT WE CAN GET.
• 26:28 AND IF YOU WANT TO BE OUR FRIEND CONTINUALLY
• 26:31 YOU CAN FIND ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES
• 26:32 ON FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE...
• 26:35 WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN
• 26:36 TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE
• 26:38 INTO HERE AND DOWN HERE.
• 26:40 THANKS FOR GOING WITH US ON THE JOURNEY.
