• 00:51 KATHARINE WEISS.
• 00:52 Myles: AND WE ARE CONTINUING
• 00:53 WITH OUR SERIES
• 00:54 "THE STONES CRY OUT."
• 00:56 BOY, ARCHAEOLOGY REALLY
• 00:57 VERIFIES THE BIBLE.
• 00:58 WE'VE SEEN HOW THE HISTORICAL
• 00:59 REALITIES COME TRUE AND HOW
• 01:02 THE BIBLE IS JUST MADE ALIVE
• 01:04 BY THE SCIENTISTS
• 01:05 THAT ARE FINDING THE STONES
• 01:07 SPEAKING TODAY FROM HISTORY.
• 01:10 WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT
• 01:12 PETRA THIS WEEK AND PETRA
• 01:13 IS AN ANCIENT BIBLICAL CITY.
• 01:15 IT GOES BACK TO THE ERA
• 01:16 AND THE TIME OF EDOM.
• 01:18 IN GENESIS 36:8,
• 01:19 THE SCRIPTURES SAYS,
• 01:25 NOW IT'S CALLED
• 01:26 THE "ROSE RED CITY," WHY?
• 01:27 ESAU MEANS "RED,"
• 01:28 EDOM MEANS "RED,"
• 01:29 ADAM MEANS "RED;" IT'S ALL ABOUT
• 01:31 THE COLORING AND WE'RE GOING
• 01:33 TO SEE HOW IT'S--
• 01:34 YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
• 01:35 THIS INCREDIBLE CITY THAT WE
• 01:36 STILL GO TO ON OUR TOURS TODAY.
• 01:38 Katharine: YEAH, IT'S
• 01:39 THE "ROSE CITY," RIGHT, YEAH.
• 01:41 WELL, MYLES,
• 01:42 WE HAVE AN OFFER TODAY.
• 01:43 IT'S THE INSTITUTE
• 01:44 OF JEWISH CHRISTIAN STUDIES
• 01:45 AND IT'LL HELP YOU
• 01:47 TO GET MORE IN-DEPTH STUDY
• 01:49 THAN WE CAN BRING YOU IN
• 01:50 THESE LITTLE SEGMENTS ABOUT
• 01:52 YOUR ROOTS IN THE JEWISH FAITH.
• 01:55 YOU KNOW, CHRISTIANITY
• 01:56 HAD A BEGINNING,
• 01:58 AND IT STARTED WITH
• 02:00 THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 02:01 ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
• 02:03 Myles: YEAH, AND THIS IS
• 02:04 A BIBLE COLLEGE LEVEL COURSE.
• 02:06 SO IT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU.
• 02:07 YOU'LL HEAR MORE ABOUT IT
• 02:08 LATER IN THE PROGRAM.
• 02:09 SO LET'S GO TO DR. TOM McCALL
• 02:11 ON LOCATION IN JORDAN.
• 02:16 Zola: HERE IN
• 02:17 THE RUGGED MOUNTAINS OF SEIR
• 02:18 LIES THE CITY OF PETRA.
• 02:19 LOCATED ADJACENT
• 02:20 TO A MAJOR ANCIENT TRADE ROUTE,
• 02:23 PETRA HOSTED CARAVANS FROM
• 02:25 MESOPOTAMIA, PERSIA, INDIA
• 02:26 AND CHINA.
• 02:29 THE NABATAEANS, EXTRACTING
• 02:31 TAXES FROM THE MERCHANTS
• 02:32 DELIVERING SPICES,
• 02:33 PRECIOUS STONES
• 02:34 AND RICH FABRICS,
• 02:35 DEVELOPED PETRA
• 02:37 INTO A WEALTHY METROPOLIS.
• 02:40 A WINDING GORGE IS THE ONLY
• 02:41 ENTRANCE INTO THE CITY
• 02:42 BECAUSE OF
• 02:43 THE MOUNTAINOUS SURROUNDINGS.
• 02:46 THIS ROAD BETWEEN THE RISING
• 02:48 BROWN SANDSTONE HILLS
• 02:49 LEADS TO THE ENTRANCE
• 02:50 OF THE RAVINE.
• 02:52 A MAGNIFICENT BURIAL CHAMBER
• 02:55 CALLED THE "OBELISK TOMB"
• 02:56 IS LOCATED ALONG THE WAY.
• 02:59 BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN CREATED
• 03:00 IN THE FIRST CENTURY B.C.,
• 03:02 THE LOWER PART
• 03:03 IS A BURIAL TOMB.
• 03:04 THE FOUR LARGE OBELISKS ABOVE
• 03:07 ARE THOUGHT TO REPRESENT
• 03:08 NABATAEAN GODS.
• 03:10 Tom: YOU CAN REALLY SEE
• 03:11 THE COLORS HERE NOW.
• 03:13 Zola: OUR GUIDE, ABED,
• 03:14 JOINED DR. McCALL INSIDE
• 03:15 THE NARROW CANYON THAT LEADS
• 03:17 TO THE CITY OF PETRA.
• 03:20 Tom: WE'VE BEEN IN THIS
• 03:21 MAGNIFICENT GORGE HERE WALKING
• 03:22 DOWN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.
• 03:25 ABED, HOW MUCH FURTHER IS IT
• 03:26 THAT WE HAVE TO GO?
• 03:27 Abed: OH WELL, WE STILL HAVE
• 03:29 ACTUALLY ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO GO
• 03:31 BECAUSE WE HAVE JUST STARTED,
• 03:32 LIKE YOU SEE,
• 03:33 AND WE HAVE LIKE 3,600 FEET,
• 03:36 THE LENGTH OF THIS GORGE HERE.
• 03:40 SO WE STILL HAVE
• 03:41 AT LEAST 20 MINUTES.
• 03:43 Tom: HOW HIGH IS THIS GORGE?
• 03:45 Abed: WELL, ACTUALLY THIS IS--
• 03:48 IT'S DIFFERENT FROM ONE POINT
• 03:49 TO ANOTHER BUT IT'S IN BETWEEN
• 03:51 100-200 FEET TO 300 FEET,
• 03:53 ACTUALLY.
• 03:55 Tom: WHAT DO THEY CALL
• 03:56 THIS MAGNIFICENT GORGE
• 03:57 THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT?
• 03:58 Abed: WE CALL IT IN ARABIC TODAY
• 03:59 WE CALL IT "SIQ" BUT ORIGINALLY
• 04:01 "SIQ" IS NOT AN ARABIC WORD,
• 04:03 IT'S AN OLD LANGUAGE.
• 04:05 WE STILL USE IT TODAY TO CALL
• 04:07 THE SIQ OF PETRA OR THE ENTRANCE
• 04:08 OF PETRA WHICH IS THE ONLY
• 04:10 MAIN WAY, THE ONLY PASSAGEWAY
• 04:13 TO GO IN AND OUT OF PETRA.
• 04:14 WE CALL IT THE "SIQ."
• 04:16 AND IF YOU NOTICE HERE, WE HAVE
• 04:17 THIS CHANNEL OF WATER, OKAY,
• 04:20 AND THIS WAS CARVED, TOO,
• 04:21 BY THE NABATAEANS.
• 04:22 Tom: THAT'S THE CUT
• 04:23 INTO THE ROCK.
• 04:24 Abed: CUT INTO THE ROCK...RIGHT.
• 04:25 THIS IS TO COLLECT THE RAINWATER
• 04:27 FROM THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS
• 04:28 AND SEND IT ALL THE WAY DOWN
• 04:29 TO THE CITY OF PETRA.
• 04:31 Zola: RUNNING ALONG
• 04:32 THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE "SIQ"
• 04:34 WE SEE THE BROKEN REMAINS
• 04:35 OF ANOTHER ANCIENT
• 04:36 WATER SYSTEM.
• 04:37 THIS REDDISH CLAY WATER PIPE
• 04:39 WAS USED BY THE NABATAEANS TO
• 04:41 TRANSPORT DRINKING WATER FROM
• 04:42 A NEARBY SPRING TO THE CITY.
• 04:45 THE NABATAEANS COLLECTED
• 04:46 THE WATER IN A LARGE CISTERN
• 04:48 INSIDE THE CITY
• 04:49 AND DISTRIBUTED IT
• 04:50 THROUGHOUT PETRA.
• 04:52 IN ADDITION TO
• 04:53 THE WATER COURSES
• 04:54 RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS WERE CARVED
• 04:56 INTO THE CAVERN WALLS AS WELL.
• 04:58 Tom: I SEE THE NICHE OVER HERE
• 05:00 AND THESE STONES BUILT UP
• 05:02 IN KIND OF A LEVEL THING.
• 05:04 WHAT DO THESE MEAN, ABED?
• 05:06 Abed: WELL, ACTUALLY, IF YOU
• 05:08 NOTICE NOW GOING DOWN,
• 05:11 EACH TIME YOU SEE SOMETHING
• 05:12 LIKE THIS, YOU SEE A NICHE
• 05:13 IN THE FRONT OF IT.
• 05:15 AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE NICHE
• 05:16 OVER THERE, YOU SEE
• 05:18 A PIECE OF STONE,
• 05:19 AND LIKE I TOLD YOU,
• 05:21 THE NABATAEANS DID NOT, AT
• 05:23 THE BEGINNING, DID NOT REPRESENT
• 05:24 THE SHAPE OF THEIR GOD.
• 05:26 THEY USE TO REPRESENT IT
• 05:27 WITH A FIGURE--
• 05:28 WITH A STONE OR WITH AN OBELISK
• 05:30 ACTUALLY.
• 05:31 AND THIS IS AN IDOL INSIDE
• 05:33 ONE OF THE NICHES
• 05:35 BECAUSE THIS SIQ
• 05:37 WAS NOT JUST THE ENTRANCE
• 05:39 AND EXIT TO THE CITY,
• 05:40 IT WAS EVEN FOR WORSHIPPING.
• 05:43 AND THIS ACTUALLY WAS AN ALTAR
• 05:47 INSIDE THE SIQ.
• 05:48 WORSHIPPING, THEY USED TO STOP,
• 05:50 THEY USED TO MAKE MANY STOPS,
• 05:52 OKAY, INSIDE.
• 05:53 AND LIKE THIS,
• 05:54 YOU'LL SEE TWO OR THREE
• 05:55 OF THEM INSIDE THE SIQ.
• 05:57 Tom: SO THE SIQ ITSELF WAS
• 05:58 SOMETHING OF A TEMPLE WHERE
• 06:00 THEY WOULD MAKE OFFERINGS
• 06:03 OR WORSHIP FROM TIME TO TIME
• 06:05 AT THESE DIFFERENT NICHES.
• 06:06 Abed: THAT'S RIGHT...
• 06:07 THAT'S RIGHT.
• 06:09 Zola: NUMEROUS NICHES LINE
• 06:10 THE WALLS OF THE SIQ.
• 06:13 ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT IS
• 06:14 THIS ONE CARVED INTO
• 06:15 A NATURAL OUTCROP.
• 06:17 TWO GODS ARE REPRESENTED IN
• 06:19 THE FORM OF RECTANGULAR BLOCKS.
• 06:21 THE LARGE ONE ON THE LEFT IS
• 06:23 THE GOD OF THE CITY OF PETRA.
• 06:24 THE SMALLER BLOCK
• 06:26 IS THE CITY'S GODDESS.
• 06:27 CHISELED INTO THE ROCK
• 06:29 ABOVE THE AREA
• 06:30 WAS THE HIGH PRIEST'S QUARTERS.
• 06:32 THIS WAS A TEMPORARY RESIDENCE
• 06:34 USED BY THE PRIEST WHILE
• 06:35 OVERSEEING SACRIFICIAL RITUALS.
• 06:38 THE ACTUAL OFFERINGS WERE MADE
• 06:40 ON THIS FLAT STONE ALTAR
• 06:41 AT THE BASE OF THE STATUES.
• 06:44 MUCH LIKE THESE GODS,
• 06:45 THE CITY OF PETRA HAS OFTEN
• 06:47 LAIN SILENT IN HISTORY.
• 06:49 IN FACT, FOLLOWING
• 06:50 THE EXPULSION OF THE CRUSADERS
• 06:51 FROM THE REGION
• 06:53 IN THE 12th CENTURY
• 06:55 PETRA'S LOCATION WAS A MYSTERY
• 06:56 TO THE WESTERN WORLD.
• 06:59 IN THE 1800s SWISS EXPLORER
• 07:01 JOHANN BURCKHARDT REDISCOVERED
• 07:03 THE CITY.
• 07:06 KNOWING THE ARABS WERE
• 07:07 SUSPICIOUS OF STRANGERS
• 07:09 AND INFIDELS,
• 07:10 BURCKHARDT DISGUISED HIMSELF
• 07:11 AS A MUSLIM SCHOLAR.
• 07:14 WORD OF HIS FIND SPREAD
• 07:15 AND PETRA WAS ONCE AGAIN
• 07:16 ON THE MAP.
• 07:18 TODAY VISITORS COME
• 07:19 BY THE THOUSANDS TO VIEW
• 07:20 THE IMPRESSIVE CARVED FACADES
• 07:22 OF THE CITY AND THE MAGNIFICENT
• 07:23 GORGE THAT ACCESS ITS ENTRANCE.
• 07:26 MINERALS IN THE SANDSTONE GIVE
• 07:28 THE PASSAGE ITS RICH COLORS.
• 07:30 IRON, ESPECIALLY ABUNDANT
• 07:31 IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RICH,
• 07:32 RED HUES.
• 07:36 LIKE THEIR PREDECESSORS
• 07:37 ARAB ENTREPRENEURS USE HORSES
• 07:39 AND HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGES
• 07:40 TO ESCORT PEOPLE
• 07:41 TO AND FROM THE CITY.
• 07:53 TAKING A BREAK FROM HIS DUTIES,
• 07:54 THIS YOUNG BOY ENJOYS
• 07:55 A BACKWARD JOYRIDE
• 07:57 THROUGH THE CANYON.
• 08:01 REGARDLESS OF THE VIEWPOINT
• 08:02 THE SITES ARE EXTRAORDINARY.
• 08:07 AFTER WALKING
• 08:08 FOR ALMOST A MILE,
• 08:09 TOM AND ABED SPY THEIR
• 08:12 DESTINATION THROUGH A SLIT
• 08:13 IN THE NARROW CANYON.
• 08:14 Tom: I BELIEVE WE ARE COMING
• 08:15 TO THE PART IN THE SITE
• 08:17 THAT HAS THRILLED THE WORLD.
• 08:20 WE'VE SEEN PICTURES OF THIS.
• 08:21 Abed: OH YEAH, AND LOOK...
• 08:23 HAVE A LOOK FROM THE SIDE.
• 08:24 Tom: YES.
• 08:25 Abed: OKAY, WE ARE ACTUALLY
• 08:26 ARRIVING.
• 08:28 THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF
• 08:29 THE CITY OF PETRA AND WE HAVE
• 08:30 JUST FINISHED THE ENTRANCE.
• 08:36 Zola: IT IS THE MOST STRIKING
• 08:37 OF ALL THE MONUMENTS OF PETRA.
• 08:40 ITS MASSIVE CORINTHIAN STYLE
• 08:42 COLUMNS CUT FROM
• 08:43 THE SEDIMENTARY ROCK
• 08:44 REVEAL A GREEK
• 08:46 OR HELLENISTIC INFLUENCE.
• 08:49 ALTHOUGH REFERRED TO
• 08:50 AS "THE TREASURY,"
• 08:51 IT MOST CERTAINLY WAS NOT.
• 08:53 THE CONFUSION COMES FROM
• 08:54 AN ANCIENT MYTH THAT TREASURES
• 08:56 FROM THE PHARAOH OF EGYPT
• 08:57 HAD BEEN DEPOSITED HERE
• 08:59 DURING THE TIME OF THE EXODUS.
• 09:02 SOME SCHOLARS THEORIZE
• 09:03 IT WAS A ROYAL TOMB.
• 09:05 A SMALL CUBICLE INSIDE
• 09:06 IS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN
• 09:07 THE KING'S BURIAL CHAMBER.
• 09:09 OTHERS SCHOLARS CONCLUDE
• 09:11 ITS FA�ADE IS MORE IN KEEPING
• 09:12 WITH A TEMPLE,
• 09:13 PRESUMING THE REAR CHAMBER
• 09:14 WAS A SANCTUARY.
• 09:16 BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF WRITTEN
• 09:17 RECORDS, DATING THE STRUCTURE
• 09:19 IS EQUALLY DIFFICULT.
• 09:20 MOST LIKELY IT WAS CREATED
• 09:22 IN THE FIRST CENTURY A.D.
• 09:24 WHETHER TEMPLE OR TOMB, IT IS
• 09:26 CERTAINLY AN AWE-INSPIRING
• 09:27 SIGHT FOR ALL OF THOSE
• 09:29 ENTERING PETRA.
• 09:32 WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL REVEAL
• 09:33 MORE OF THE WONDERS
• 09:34 OF THE "ROSE RED CITY"
• 09:36 AND WHAT PART IT MAY PLAY
• 09:37 IN END TIMES EVENTS.

• 11:00 YOU KNOW THIS RESOURCE THIS WEEK
• 11:01 IS OUR INSTITUTE

• 11:14 LATER, BUT ALSO, RIGHT NOW,
• 11:15 LISTEN TO THIS TESTIMONY
• 11:16 OF A STUDENT
• 11:17 THAT'S TAKEN THE COURSE.
• 11:20 >> I WAS IN AMERICAN CHURCH
• 11:22 AND WE WERE LOOKING
• 11:24 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
• 11:25 B'RIT HADASHAH, AND I WAS NOT
• 11:28 GETTING THE FULL PICTURE,
• 11:29 YOU KNOW.
• 11:30 AND THEN, OF COURSE, THEY WOULD
• 11:31 GO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 11:32 AND THEY WOULD READ,
• 11:33 AND AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED,
• 11:34 SLAUGHTER IT, BECAUSE IT WAS
• 11:36 WRITTEN TO JEWS; PRIMARILY,
• 11:38 TO JEWS, FOR JEWS, ABOUT JEWS,
• 11:39 FOR JEWS.
• 11:41 AND YOU WOULD--THEY WERE TRYING
• 11:42 TO APPLY THIS TO GENTILES
• 11:43 AND IT DOESN'T REALLY WORK.
• 11:45 THERE'S TWO BOOKS
• 11:46 IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 11:47 THAT TALK TO THE GENTILES--
• 11:48 YOU KNOW, JONAH...
• 11:49 AND YOU DIDN'T GET
• 11:52 YOUR FULL UNDERSTANDING
• 11:53 AND THAT WAS WHERE I SAID,
• 11:54 "I NEED TO GO TO THE SOURCE."
• 11:56 AND I BELIEVE--I PRAYED, YOU
• 11:57 KNOW, AND I ASKED THE LORD
• 11:59 AND HE SAID, "GO TO THE JEWS."
• 12:01 AND FORTUNATELY FOR ME
• 12:02 I'VE BEEN WATCHING ZOLA ON TV
• 12:03 FOR YEARS AND YEARS
• 12:05 AND HE'S KIND OF KEPT ME
• 12:06 ALONG AND PULLED ME ALONG
• 12:08 THROUGH ALL THIS PROCESS.
• 12:11 Myles: SO OUR RESOURCE THIS WEEK

• 12:52 Katharine: IT'S REALLY GOOD.
• 12:53 I AM ENJOYING IT.
• 12:55 WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK NOW
• 12:57 TO PETRA.
• 13:03 Tom: THIS IS SUCH A SPECTACULAR
• 13:05 CIVILIZATION WE SEE ALL
• 13:06 AROUND US, ABED.
• 13:08 Abed: ACTUALLY WE'RE DEALING
• 13:11 WITH THE NABATAEANS HERE
• 13:12 THAT HAD COME ORIGINALLY
• 13:13 FROM YEMEN AROUND
• 13:15 THE SIXTH CENTURY B.C.
• 13:16 Tom: THAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE
• 13:17 OF SAUDI ARABIA.
• 13:18 Abed: THAT'S RIGHT, THEY HAVE
• 13:19 TO ALSO CROSS SAUDI ARABIA
• 13:21 AND COME AND SETTLE HERE.
• 13:23 I DON'T MEAN PETRA, I MEAN
• 13:24 THE SOUTHERN AREA OF JORDAN.
• 13:26 AND THAT WAS IN
• 13:27 THE SIXTH CENTURY B.C.
• 13:28 AND THEY WERE STILL BEDOUINS
• 13:30 AT THE TIME.
• 13:31 Tom: WHEN DID THEY BEGIN TO
• 13:34 ACTUALLY LIVE HERE IN PETRA?
• 13:36 Abed: SETTLING HERE BY CHANCE,
• 13:38 THEY REALIZED THAT THIS AREA WAS
• 13:40 VERY IMPORTANT IN THE FIELD
• 13:43 OF COMMERCE.
• 13:44 ALL THE CARAVANS USED
• 13:46 TO PASS THROUGH HERE,
• 13:47 SO THEY STARTED TO, YOU KNOW,
• 13:48 LET PEOPLE PAY TAXES.
• 13:50 Tom: THIS WAS
• 13:51 A COMMERCIAL CENTER THEN.
• 13:52 Abed: THAT'S IT.
• 13:53 Tom: WAS THERE A CARAVAN ROUTE
• 13:54 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
• 13:55 Abed: IT IS ON THE CARAVAN ROUTE
• 13:57 WHICH CONNECTS ASIA WITH AFRICA
• 13:59 DOWN SOUTH, AND FROM NORTH,
• 14:01 YOU COULD COME EITHER FROM
• 14:03 EUROPE PASSING THROUGH HERE
• 14:04 FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST.
• 14:06 BUT WHEN THE NABATAEANS SETTLED
• 14:07 HERE THEY THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING
• 14:09 THE CITY BIG AND WEALTHY, MAKING
• 14:11 MONEY, THEY THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING
• 14:13 A STATION HERE, MAKING A CITY,
• 14:15 A VERY WELL-PROTECTED CITY.
• 14:17 Tom: AN INTERNATIONAL TRADE
• 14:18 CENTER FOR THE CARAVAN ROUTE.
• 14:20 Abed: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 14:21 AND THEY STARTED TO EXPAND ALL
• 14:22 OVER AROUND THIS AREA AND THIS
• 14:24 BECAME THE MOST IMPORTANT CITY
• 14:26 IN THE KINGDOM.
• 14:28 Tom: IT SEEMS SO WELL-PROTECTED
• 14:30 HERE COMING IN THROUGH
• 14:31 THE GORGE, THE SIQ, AND THEN
• 14:34 SURROUNDED BY THE MOUNTAINS.
• 14:36 WERE THE PEOPLE EVER ATTACKED
• 14:38 HERE AND CONQUERED BY
• 14:40 OUTSIDE PEOPLE?
• 14:41 Abed: MANY PEOPLE HAD TRIED
• 14:43 TO ATTACK THEM, LIKE THE GREEKS
• 14:45 AROUND 300 B.C.,
• 14:47 BUT THEY FAILED
• 14:48 IN ATTACKING THEM.
• 14:49 THEY DID NOT SUCCEED BECAUSE
• 14:50 THE ENTRANCE, IT'S VERY EASY
• 14:52 TO BE PROTECTED.
• 14:53 THE ROMANS, THEY HAD TRIED MANY
• 14:55 TIMES UNTIL THEY GOT TIRED AND
• 14:56 THEN THEY HAD DECIDED TO MAKE
• 14:58 SANCTIONS AGAINST THE NABATAEANS
• 15:00 AND THAT'S HOW THEY TOOK OVER
• 15:02 THE CITY PEACEFULLY
• 15:03 WITH NO FIGHTING.
• 15:04 Tom: THEY USED SANCTIONS
• 15:05 EVEN BACK THEN.
• 15:06 Abed: WE HAD SANCTIONS
• 15:07 EVEN BACK THEN.
• 15:09 Tom: AND SO THERE WAS SOME KIND
• 15:10 OF AN AGREEMENT MADE BETWEEN
• 15:12 THE NABATAEANS AND THE ROMANS
• 15:13 FOR TRADE.
• 15:15 Abed: YES, YES, SURE.
• 15:17 THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON WHY
• 15:19 THE ROMANS WANTED TO TAKE OVER
• 15:20 HERE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT
• 15:22 TO PAY THAT MUCH TAXES
• 15:23 PASSING THROUGH HERE.
• 15:25 SO THAT'S WHY THEY MADE
• 15:26 THE SANCTIONS AND THAT'S
• 15:27 WHY THEY HAVE BUILT
• 15:28 THE 10 CITIES OF THE DECAPOLIS
• 15:30 AND THE CARAVANS USED TO PASS
• 15:31 THROUGH THOSE CITIES AND DO NOT
• 15:34 PASS THROUGH THE CITY OF PETRA.
• 15:37 THE CITY OF PETRA STARTED
• 15:38 TO DECLINE ECONOMICALLY
• 15:40 AND THAT'S HOW THEY MADE
• 15:41 SUCH AN AGREEMENT AND THEY TOLD
• 15:43 THE ROMANS TO COME IN PEACEFULLY
• 15:44 WITH NO FIGHTING AND THE CITY
• 15:46 STARTED TO BECOME ROMAN
• 15:49 NABATAEAN CITY AND THIS WAS
• 15:51 NOT THE END OF THE NABATAEANS.
• 15:53 ACTUALLY, IT WAS A NEW START
• 15:55 OF THE NABATAEANS AND 324 A.D.
• 15:58 IT WAS IN THE FIELD OF RELIGION,
• 16:01 IT WAS STARTING TO BECOME
• 16:02 A VERY IMPORTANT CHRISTIAN CITY.
• 16:03 Tom: THE BEGINNING
• 16:04 OF THE BYZANTINE PERIOD.
• 16:05 Abed: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 16:07 Tom: EVENTUALLY THOUGH IT SORT
• 16:08 OF DISAPPEARED FROM HISTORY.
• 16:12 PEOPLE FORGOT ABOUT PETRA.
• 16:14 HOW DID IT GET LOST TO HISTORY
• 16:16 AND THEN REDISCOVERED?
• 16:17 Abed: LOSING ITS IMPORTANCE,
• 16:18 ITS ECONOMICAL IMPORTANCE,
• 16:20 PEOPLE STARTED TO LEAVE
• 16:21 THIS CITY TO GO LOOK FOR JOBS
• 16:23 SOMEWHERE ELSE.
• 16:24 AND THEN WITH THE TIME
• 16:25 WITH THE ARRIVAL
• 16:27 OF MUSLIMS IN 634 A.D.,
• 16:29 IN THIS AREA, IT HAD LOST
• 16:31 COMPLETELY ITS IMPORTANCE
• 16:32 AND PEOPLE STARTED TO LEAVE.
• 16:34 AND IT KEPT LOSING
• 16:36 ITS IMPORTANCE WITH THE TIME
• 16:37 TILL THEN END
• 16:39 OF THE 18th CENTURY.
• 16:40 IN 1812, WHEN THE SWISS GUIDE
• 16:43 BURCKHARDT HAD DECIDED TO COME
• 16:46 AND SEE, BECAUSE HE HAD READ
• 16:48 ABOUT IT IN THE OLD WRITINGS OF
• 16:51 STRABO, THE SICILIAN GUIDE,
• 16:53 AND JOSEPHUS FLAVIUS,
• 16:54 WHO HAD WRITTEN
• 16:55 ABOUT THE JEWISH MONUMENT.
• 16:56 THOSE HAD WRITTEN ABOUT PETRA
• 16:58 THEY HAD MENTIONED PETRA
• 16:59 IN THEIR WRITINGS
• 17:00 AND THAT'S WHY HE WAS INSISTING
• 17:01 TO COME AND SEE INSIDE PETRA.
• 17:03 AND IN 1812,
• 17:04 HE WAS THE FIRST ONE
• 17:06 TO REDISCOVER THE CITY OF PETRA,
• 17:08 FOR THE WEST, ACTUALLY,
• 17:10 NOT FOR US HERE,
• 17:11 BECAUSE, HERE, WE KNEW ABOUT
• 17:12 THE EXISTENCE OF PETRA
• 17:14 AND WE HAD THOSE LOCAL PEOPLE
• 17:16 WHO LIVE HERE NOW,
• 17:17 WHO LIVE AROUND HERE NOW.
• 17:18 THOSE USED TO LIVE
• 17:20 INSIDE PETRA TILL 1983.
• 17:24 Tom: SO THE WEST LEARNED
• 17:26 ABOUT IT AND STARTED
• 17:28 COMING TO VISIT PETRA
• 17:30 AND NOW YOU HAVE
• 17:31 AN AVERAGE OF 2,000 TOURISTS
• 17:33 A DAY COMING THROUGH.
• 17:35 Abed: THIS IS RIGHT,
• 17:36 THIS IS RIGHT.
• 17:37 WE STARTED HAVING TOURISTS
• 17:38 SINCE ALREADY THE '50s
• 17:40 AND THE '40s AND EVEN
• 17:42 IN THE 19th CENTURY
• 17:43 WE HAD SOME INDIVIDUALS
• 17:44 WHO USED TO COME.
• 17:45 AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS CENTURY
• 17:47 ALREADY GROUPS USED TO COME
• 17:49 TO PETRA.
• 17:50 AND NOW WE HAVE AN AVERAGE
• 17:51 OF 2,000 PEOPLE A DAY
• 17:52 COME TO PETRA.
• 17:53 Tom: WELL WE'RE IN SORT OF
• 17:55 A BOWL-LIKE AREA HERE
• 17:57 WHERE IT OPENS UP
• 17:59 AND I SEE OVER HERE
• 18:02 THE WALL, THE CLIFF THERE,
• 18:04 AND THERE'S HOLES IN IT.
• 18:05 IT LOOKS LIKE CAVES THERE.
• 18:07 WHAT DO THOSE SIGNIFY?
• 18:09 Abed: THOSE CLIFFS
• 18:10 ARE POPULAR CLIFFS.
• 18:11 Tom: FOR THE PEOPLE...
• 18:12 NOT ROYAL TOMBS.
• 18:14 Abed: NO, NO JUST
• 18:15 POPULAR TOMBS FOR THE PEOPLE,
• 18:16 FOR THE NORMAL PEOPLE.
• 18:18 Zola: TOMBS OF NUMEROUS SHAPES
• 18:20 AND SIZES OVERWHELM THE CLIFFS
• 18:21 OF PETRA.
• 18:23 THESE FOUR MASSIVE TOMBS DEFINE
• 18:24 MUCH OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED
• 18:26 NABATAEAN DESIGN.
• 18:31 PAIRS OF PILASTERS CARVED
• 18:33 ALONG THE SIDES OF THE TOMBS
• 18:34 ARE CROWNED WITH
• 18:36 THE SIMPLE HORNED CAPITAL
• 18:37 WHICH WAS DISTINCTLY NABATAEAN.
• 18:42 CARVED INTO THE SITE
• 18:43 OF YET ANOTHER MOUNTAIN
• 18:44 ARE THE ROYAL TOMBS.
• 18:47 THE FIRST AND MOST IMPOSING
• 18:49 IS THIS ONE.
• 18:50 KNOWN AS THE "URN TOMB,"
• 18:51 IT GETS ITS NAME
• 18:52 FROM A SMALL URN
• 18:53 ON THE PEAK OF THE MEMORIAL.
• 18:57 THE VAULTS BELOW WERE
• 18:58 CONSTRUCTED TO SUPPORT
• 18:59 THE TERRACE IN FRONT
• 19:00 OF THE GRAVE.
• 19:03 GREEK WRITING FOUND
• 19:04 INSIDE THE MONUMENT
• 19:05 REVEALS THAT CHRISTIANS
• 19:06 USED THIS SITE AS A CHURCH
• 19:08 IN THE MID-FIFTH CENTURY.
• 19:10 THE INSCRIPTION READS,
• 19:18 AFTER HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF
• 19:19 WORSHIPPING STONE IDOLS,
• 19:21 MANY HERE TURNED
• 19:22 TO THE ONE TRUE GOD.
• 19:25 WITH SO MUCH SPACE DEVOTED
• 19:26 TO TOMBS AND TEMPLES,
• 19:28 WE WONDERED WHERE
• 19:29 THE PEOPLE LIVED.
• 19:30 Abed: SO ACTUALLY THE PEOPLE DID
• 19:31 NOT LIVE IN CAVES LIKE THIS.
• 19:34 SOME OF THEM THEY DID LIVE
• 19:36 IN THE CAVE HOUSES--
• 19:37 VERY FEW OF THEM.
• 19:38 BUT MOST OF THEM
• 19:40 THEY LIVED IN BUILT HOUSES.
• 19:41 Tom: AND THEY BUILT IT OF
• 19:42 WHAT KIND OF MATERIAL?
• 19:43 Abed: STONE.
• 19:44 Tom: MOSTLY STONE,
• 19:45 AND THEY BUILT ALL AROUND
• 19:46 IN THIS VALLEY AREA.
• 19:47 Abed: YEAH, THEY HAD STONE
• 19:48 EVERYWHERE IN THIS AREA AND THEY
• 19:49 USED THE STONE IN BUILDING UP.
• 19:51 AND MOST OF THOSE HOUSES HAVE
• 19:52 NOW BEEN DESTROYED.
• 19:54 Tom: BACK BEHIND YOU THERE
• 19:55 IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING LIKE
• 19:56 A THEATRE.
• 19:58 Abed: YEAH, ACTUALLY IN
• 19:59 THE NABATAEAN CULTURE,
• 20:00 WE DO NOT HAVE A THEATRE;
• 20:01 WE HAVE IT IN THE ROMAN
• 20:02 AND THE GREEK CULTURE.
• 20:04 AND THIS WAS SOME KIND
• 20:06 OF A SACRIFICE PLACE.
• 20:09 Tom: A PAGAN ALTAR
• 20:11 THAT THEY WOULD USE
• 20:12 TO SACRIFICE TO THEIR DEITIES.
• 20:14 Abed: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 20:16 AFTER THE ROMANS HAD ARRIVED
• 20:17 AND THEY HAD COME TO THE CITY
• 20:19 IT HAD THE SHAPE--
• 20:21 THIS SACRIFICE PLACE
• 20:22 HAD THE SHAPE OF THEATRE.
• 20:24 THEY HAD CONTINUED
• 20:25 AND THEN THEY BUILT A THEATRE
• 20:27 AND THE NABATAEANS HAD MADE
• 20:28 THE SACRIFICE PLACE ON THE TOP
• 20:30 OF THIS MOUNTAIN.
• 20:32 YOU CLIMB UP USING THESE STEPS.
• 20:34 THOSE ARE 600 STEPS
• 20:36 TO GO ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP
• 20:37 OF THAT MOUNTAIN WHERE
• 20:38 THE SACRIFICE ALTAR WE HAVE.
• 20:40 Tom: YOU CAN ACTUALLY CLIMB UP
• 20:41 TO THE TOP.
• 20:42 Abed: OH YES, OH YES...
• 20:43 TO THE TOP OF THIS MOUNTAIN,
• 20:44 TO THE TOP OF THIS MOUNTAIN
• 20:46 AND TO THE TOP OF ALL
• 20:47 THESE MOUNTAINS AROUND HERE.
• 20:48 AND BY THE WAY, PETRA,
• 20:50 IT'S NOT JUST THE LOW PART
• 20:52 WHICH WE ARE VISITING RIGHT NOW.
• 20:53 PETRA EXPANDS ABOUT
• 20:55 40 SQUARE KILOMETERS.
• 20:57 TO VISIT PETRA, ALL OF IT,
• 21:00 YOU NEED MORE THAN TWO WEEKS
• 21:01 TO CLIMB ALL THESE MOUNTAINS
• 21:02 AND BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS.
• 21:04 Tom: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ABED,
• 21:05 FOR EXPLAINING PETRA TO US.
• 21:07 Abed: YOU'RE WELCOME, SIR,
• 21:08 THANK YOU.
• 21:10 (♪ Soft Flute & Harp ♪)
• 21:44 Katharine: PETRA IS
• 21:45 AN AMAZING PLACE.
• 21:46 IT'S A PROPHETIC PLACE.
• 21:47 YOU KNOW ARCHAEOLOGISTS ALLOW US
• 21:49 TO SEE PHYSICALLY AND TOUCH
• 21:51 THE PAST, BUT WE'RE ALSO SEEING
• 21:54 INTO THE FUTURE.
• 21:55 WE'RE ALSO SEEING PROPHETICALLY
• 21:56 WHAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING
• 21:57 IN PETRA.
• 21:58 Myles: IT'S REALLY TRUE,
• 21:59 ESPECIALLY WITH A PLACE
• 22:00 LIKE PETRA.
• 22:01 THERE'S SUCH BIBLICAL HISTORY
• 22:03 WITH THIS PART OF THE WORLD,
• 22:04 EDOM, AND THE HISTORY WITH ESAU
• 22:06 AND THE REDNESS OF THE LAND.
• 22:08 WE SEE IT
• 22:09 AS THE "ROSE RED CITY."
• 22:10 LISTEN TO ISAIAH 63:1.
• 22:21 THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE MESSIAH
• 22:22 TO ME, AND IT'S REALLY
• 22:24 A PROPHETIC LOOK AT THE PLACE
• 22:26 THAT PETRA HAS
• 22:28 BOTH AS A REFUGE--
• 22:29 POTENTIALLY AS A REFUGE
• 22:31 FOR BELIEVERS AND ALSO AS
• 22:33 A HISTORICAL PLACE FOR THE WORDS
• 22:35 THAT WE'RE SEEING HERE.
• 22:37 MARK 13:14, JESUS SAID TO BE
• 22:39 AWARE THAT THERE WOULD BE COMING
• 22:41 A TIME WHEN THERE WOULD BE
• 22:42 A FLIGHT NECESSARY
• 22:43 BECAUSE OF THE ABOMINATION
• 22:44 OF DESOLATION.
• 22:46 REVELATION 12:6 TELLS US
• 22:48 THAT THE WOMAN WILL BE HIDDEN
• 22:50 IN THE WILDERNESS BY GOD
• 22:51 IN THE MIDST OF THE TRIBULATION.
• 22:53 THERE'S ALL THIS REFERENCE
• 22:54 AROUND THIS AREA, PETRA.
• 22:56 IT'S NOT PERFECTLY CLEAR, BUT
• 22:57 THERE SEEMS TO BE A FOCUS ON
• 23:00 THE EVENTS THAT WE SEE BEGINNING
• 23:01 TO UNFOLD IN OUR WORLD
• 23:03 AND THE WAY THAT'S GOING
• 23:05 TO CONTINUE INTO THE FUTURE.
• 23:06 I BELIEVE RIGHT NOW WE'RE REALLY
• 23:08 LOOKING AT THE ARRANGING OF
• 23:09 THE NATIONS SURROUNDING ISRAEL
• 23:12 FOR A PSALM 83-TYPE WAR.
• 23:14 IN FACT, IN 2006,
• 23:16 WHEN THE JEWISH PEOPLE HAD
• 23:19 TO GO INTO LEBANON TO TRY
• 23:20 TO STOP HEZBOLLAH;
• 23:21 AT THE SAME TIME THAT HAPPENED,
• 23:23 THERE WAS AN OPEN BIBLE
• 23:25 FOUND FROM CENTURIES AGO,
• 23:26 FOUND IN THE BOGS OF SCOTLAND.
• 23:28 IT WAS OPEN TO PSALM 83
• 23:31 ALMOST AS A GIFT SAYING
• 23:32 THIS IS WHERE WE ARE IN TIME.
• 23:33 Katharine: RIGHT
• 23:34 Myles: AND NOW WE'RE SEEING
• 23:35 THE STONES BEGINNING TO SPEAK IN
• 23:37 ISRAEL ABOUT THE TIME WE'RE IN,
• 23:40 WHERE WE'VE COME FROM
• 23:41 AND WHERE WE'RE GOING.
• 23:42 Katharine: WELL, PSALM 83
• 23:44 IS ABOUT ALL THE NATIONS
• 23:45 PRESSING ON ISRAEL AND THAT
• 23:46 IS THE TIME THAT WE'RE IN.
• 23:48 AND SO EVEN MORE, AS BELIEVERS
• 23:50 AND AS PEOPLE OF FAITH, WE CAN
• 23:53 STAND AND LEND OUR FAITH WITH
• 23:55 THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE LAND.
• 23:56 Myles: YEAH, WE NEED
• 23:57 TO SUPPORT THEM
• 23:58 SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY.
• 23:59 WE NEED TO GIVE TO THEM,
• 24:00 WE NEED TO STAND WITH THEM.
• 24:02 AND WE NEED TO BE IN
• 24:04 THE LINEAGE OF THOSE WHO,
• 24:05 LIKE W.E. BLACKSTONE,
• 24:07 AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY,
• 24:08 BACK IN THE TURN
• 24:09 OF THE 20th CENTURY,
• 24:10 HE HID BIBLES IN PETRA,
• 24:11 HOPING THAT AT SOME POINT
• 24:13 THERE WOULD BE A RESOURCE THERE
• 24:16 FOR THOSE THAT WERE FLEEING
• 24:17 DURING THE TIMES OF TROUBLE
• 24:19 THAT ARE UPCOMING.
• 24:20 WE HAVE RESOURCES HERE AS WELL.
• 24:22 WE HAVE THE INSTITUTE
• 24:23 OF JEWISH-CHRISTIAN STUDIES.
• 24:24 THIS IS A WAY TO REALLY DEEPEN
• 24:26 YOUR FAITH, TO REALLY COME
• 24:27 TO UNDERSTAND THE JEWISHNESS
• 24:29 OF THE GOSPEL, TO UNDERSTAND
• 24:30 THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 24:31 AND NEW TESTAMENT
• 24:32 AND HOW THERE'S A SEAMLESS
• 24:34 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO.
• 24:35 IN FACT, LET'S GO TO
• 24:36 OUR THEOLOGIAN TODD BAKER
• 24:38 TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY
• 24:39 ABOUT THE INSTITUTE.
• 24:42 Todd: THE MINISTRY HEARTILY
• 24:44 RECOMMENDS TAKING THE INSTITUTE
• 24:48 BECAUSE, AFTER ALL,
• 24:49 THE GOD OF ISRAEL GAVE US
• 24:51 OUR FAITH IN JESUS THE MESSIAH
• 24:52 THROUGH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 24:55 SO, THEREFORE, YOU NEED
• 24:56 TO TAKE IT TO LEARN ABOUT THAT
• 24:59 AND I WOULD ALSO ADD
• 25:01 JEWISH EVANGELISM.
• 25:02 THE INSTITUTE IS
• 25:03 AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR THAT.
• 25:04 WE NEED TO SHARE THE FAITH OF
• 25:07 MESSIAH TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 25:10 WHO FIRST PROCLAIMED THIS FAITH
• 25:12 TO THE WORLD.
• 25:13 >> IT'S TAUGHT FROM TWO
• 25:14 OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT JEWS
• 25:16 THAT I THINK I HAVE EVER MET.
• 25:19 ZOLA LEVITT WITH ALL HIS WISDOM
• 25:20 BEING JEWISH HIMSELF, AND EVEN
• 25:22 DR. SEIF, HE'S SO INTELLIGENT
• 25:25 AND HE JUST--THEY'RE BOTH JEWS
• 25:27 SO YOU'RE LEARNING FROM JEWS
• 25:28 ABOUT THE JEWISH MESSIAH.
• 25:30 IT REALLY TAUGHT ME A LOT
• 25:31 ABOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT.
• 25:33 SO I CAN GO BACK TO
• 25:34 THE OLD TESTAMENT AND KIND OF--
• 25:36 I CAN SEE YESHUA
• 25:37 THROUGH EVERYTHING.
• 25:38 >> I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD
• 25:41 STUDY WHAT THE WEBSITE HAS TO
• 25:42 SAY ABOUT TAKING THIS COURSE
• 25:46 BECAUSE IT SORT OF
• 25:47 BREAKS THINGS DOWN
• 25:48 IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME,
• 25:51 AND I BELIEVE IT WILL
• 25:52 TO OTHER PEOPLE TOO.
• 25:55 Katharine: THE INSTITUTE
• 25:56 OF JEWISH-CHRISTIAN STUDIES WILL
• 25:58 INFUSE YOUR LIFE WITH FAITH.
• 26:00 THOSE ARE THE TESTIMONIES
• 26:01 THAT YOU'VE BEEN HEARING
• 26:02 AND WE KNOW IT'S TRUE.
• 26:04 I LOVE HOW IT'S EVEN IMPACTING
• 26:06 THE NEXT GENERATION.
• 26:07 Myles: YEAH AND IT'S
• 26:08 SO IMPORTANT YOU KNOW.
• 26:09 I THINK ABOUT OUR KIDS BEING
• 26:10 IN COLLEGE AND HOW THEY CALL US
• 26:12 AND SAY, "DAD NO ONE'S TEACHING
• 26:13 WHAT YOU TEACH."
• 26:14 IT'S SO HARD TO HEAR ABOUT
• 26:16 THE IMPORTANCE OF ISRAEL,
• 26:17 A POSITIVE VIEW OF ISRAEL,
• 26:19 ABOUT THE WAY THAT JEWS
• 26:20 AND CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED
• 26:21 TO WORK TOGETHER AND EVERYTHING
• 26:23 THEY'VE BEEN RAISED WITH.
• 26:24 THEY'RE ENCOUNTERING
• 26:25 WHAT'S REALLY BEING TAUGHT
• 26:26 ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
• 26:27 A COURSE LIKE THIS IS REALLY
• 26:29 THE ANTIDOTE FOR THAT KIND
• 26:30 OF TEACHING.
• 26:31 THIS WILL HELP YOU TO REALLY
• 26:32 UNDERSTAND THE ROOTS
• 26:35 OF YOUR FAITH AND HAVE A VIEW
• 26:36 OF THE OLD TESTAMENT,
• 26:37 NEW TESTAMENT,
• 26:38 THE WAY THEY WORK TOGETHER.
• 26:39 THIS WHOLE STORY ABOUT PETRA
• 26:41 IS REALLY ABOUT THE STORY
• 26:43 OF THE MESSIAH.
• 26:44 IT'S REALLY ABOUT THIS CALL
• 26:45 OF ABRAHAM COMING ALL THE WAY
• 26:47 FORWARD THROUGH JESUS
• 26:49 AND LOOKING TOWARDS HIS RETURN
• 26:51 AND REALLY LOOKING FOR THE WAY
• 26:52 THAT GOD IS GOING TO HAVE
• 26:54 A REMNANT IN EVERY GENERATION.
• 26:56 HE'S GOING TO PRESERVE ISRAEL
• 26:57 IN SPITE OF WHAT THEY'RE FACING.
• 26:59 AND THERE'S GOING TO BE
• 27:01 A WORSHIPPING REMNANT READY
• 27:02 FOR HIS RETURN.
• 27:03 Katharine: YEAH,
• 27:04 AND TO BE READY,
• 27:05 WE HAVE TO BE IN THE WORD,
• 27:06 READING THE WORD,
• 27:07 BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD IS
• 27:08 WHAT GIVES US FAITH.
• 27:10 NOT OUR CIRCUMSTANCES,
• 27:11 NOT WHAT WE'RE FACING
• 27:12 BUT AS WE PUT OUR FAITH
• 27:13 IN THE WORD, THAT'S WHAT CAUSES
• 27:15 US TO SEE HIM AND SEE HIS PLAN
• 27:18 AND ALIGN WITH IT.
• 27:19 SO THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO
• 27:21 HELP US TO BUY AIRTIME TO BRING
• 27:24 THESE PROGRAMS TO REMIND YOU
• 27:25 OF THINGS THAT ARE COMING
• 27:27 AND ALSO TO TELL YOU OF THINGS
• 27:28 THAT HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED
• 27:29 LIKE THESE DISCOVERIES,
• 27:31 LIKE THESE UNEARTHINGS
• 27:32 OF THESE TREASURES IN THE LAND
• 27:34 THAT'S ESTABLISHING
• 27:35 THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE.
• 27:37 I LOVE IT, MYLES.
• 27:39 Myles: WE'RE GLAD
• 27:40 TO BE DOING IT.
• 27:41 SO UNTIL WE SEE YOU AGAIN,
• 27:42 AS ALWAYS, WE WANT
• 27:43 TO REMIND YOU,
• 27:44 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM.
• 27:46 Katharine: PRAY FOR THE PEACE
• 27:47 OF JERUSALEM.
