• 00:47 Myles: SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:48 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:49 I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 00:50 Katharine: AND I'M
• 00:51 KATHARINE WEISS.
• 00:52 Myles: AND WE ARE CONTINUING OUR
• 00:53 SERIES, "THE STONES CRY OUT."
• 00:55 THIS IS AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL LOOK
• 00:57 AT THE BIBLE, REALLY VERIFYING
• 00:59 THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE
• 01:01 AS WELL AS THE REALITY
• 01:02 OF THE JEWISH PRESENCE IN
• 01:04 THE LAND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS,
• 01:06 THINGS THAT ARE BEING DISPUTED
• 01:07 TODAY.
• 01:08 ANOTHER THING THAT'S BEEN
• 01:09 QUESTIONED IS WHETHER
• 01:10 THE CRUCIFIXION WAS REALLY TRUE
• 01:11 BECAUSE IT'S SUCH
• 01:12 A HORRIBLE DEATH.
• 01:13 AND IN THIS PROGRAM,
• 01:14 IT'S VERY SOBERING; WE'RE GOING
• 01:16 TO SEE EVIDENCE OF CRUCIFIXION
• 01:18 WHICH IS BEING UNEARTHED
• 01:19 IN OUR ERA.
• 01:20 REALLY, IT'S QUITE SOBERING
• 01:23 AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE
• 01:24 MEDICAL EFFECTS OF CRUCIFIXION
• 01:26 AND THE HORRIBLE MEANS
• 01:28 THAT IT WAS OF EXECUTING PEOPLE.
• 01:30 Katharine: AND WHAT JESUS
• 01:31 WENT THROUGH FOR OUR SALVATION.
• 01:32 Myles: EXACTLY...WHAT
• 01:34 HE SACRIFICED ON OUR BEHALF.
• 01:36 THIS IS A VERY TOUCHING PROGRAM,
• 01:38 SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU
• 01:39 SEEING THIS AND HEARING BACK
• 01:40 FROM YOU ABOUT IT.
• 01:41 Katharine: RIGHT, IT'S ALMOST...
• 01:43 YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN AWAY,
• 01:45 BUT PREPARE YOURSELVES
• 01:47 FOR THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE
• 01:48 YOU'LL SEE THE PRICE THAT
• 01:50 JESUS PAID FOR BOTH YOU AND I,
• 01:52 AND ALL HUMANITY,
• 01:54 TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
• 01:55 WE WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF
• 01:57 AN OFFER THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU.
• 02:00 IT'S "DISCOVERING
• 02:01 YOUR JEWISH ROOTS."
• 02:02 IT'S A NINE-CD BIBLE STUDY AND
• 02:04 IT'S A WONDERFUL IN-DEPTH STUDY
• 02:06 AND WE JUST WOULD LOVE YOU
• 02:07 TO GET IT
• 02:08 AND LEARN ABOUT YOUR ROOTS
• 02:10 IN YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH.
• 02:12 Myles: EXACTLY, THE CHRISTIAN
• 02:13 FAITH HAS ROOTS IN JUDAISM
• 02:15 AND IN JEWISH LIFE.
• 02:16 THIS IS A GREAT STUDY
• 02:17 THAT WILL HELP YOU WITH THAT.
• 02:18 SO LET'S GO TO ISRAEL
• 02:20 WHERE TOM McCALL INTERVIEWED
• 02:22 ANTHROPOLOGIST JOE ZIAS.
• 02:28 ♪ ♪
• 02:31 Tom: JOE, I UNDERSTAND
• 02:32 YOU'VE BEEN STUDYING
• 02:33 THE FIELD OF CRUCIFIXION
• 02:34 FOR A LONG TIME.
• 02:36 CAN YOU TELL ME HOW RARE
• 02:38 WAS CRUCIFIXION AS A MEANS
• 02:40 OF EXECUTION IN ANCIENT TIMES?
• 02:43 Joe: WELL, ACTUALLY,
• 02:44 IT WAS VERY COMMON.
• 02:46 WE KNOW THAT THEY DID IT
• 02:47 FOR PERHAPS 800 YEARS.
• 02:48 THEY DID IT THROUGHOUT EUROPE,
• 02:50 NORTH AFRICA, WESTERN ASIA,
• 02:52 GREAT BRITAIN.
• 02:54 I THINK THE QUESTION IS NOT
• 02:55 WHO DID IT; THE QUESTION IS,
• 02:56 IS THERE ANYBODY
• 02:57 WHO DIDN'T DO IT?
• 02:58 AND WE KNOW THAT THE FIGURES
• 02:59 PROBABLY RUN, I WOULD SAY,
• 03:02 PERHAPS EVEN MAYBE OVER 100,000.
• 03:04 Tom: 100,000 PEOPLE PERHAPS--
• 03:06 Joe: DURING A PERIOD
• 03:07 OF 800 YEARS.
• 03:08 WE KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, ON ONE DAY
• 03:09 IN ROME THEY CRUCIFIED
• 03:10 6,000 PEOPLE IN ONE DAY.
• 03:11 IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF
• 03:12 HOW FAST THEY COULD DO IT,
• 03:14 HOW EFFICIENT THEY COULD DO IT.
• 03:16 Tom: WELL, WE KNOW THE ROMANS
• 03:17 USED IT EXTENSIVELY.
• 03:19 DID OTHER CULTURES USE IT
• 03:21 AS WELL?
• 03:22 Joe: EVERYBODY USED IT, THOUGH,
• 03:23 THERE WERE EXCEPTIONS, LIKE,
• 03:24 FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE JEWS.
• 03:26 THE JEWS CRUCIFIED UNDER VERY,
• 03:28 VERY WELL-DEFINED CIRCUMSTANCES
• 03:31 AND THAT WAS FOR GOING OVER
• 03:32 TO THE ENEMY, FOR PEOPLE
• 03:33 WHO WERE TRAITORS.
• 03:35 YOU WERE KILLED FIRST BY STONING
• 03:37 AND THEN AFTER YOU WERE DEAD,
• 03:38 YOU THEN WERE HUNG FROM A TREE.
• 03:39 Tom: WHY WOULD YOU HANG SOMEONE
• 03:41 AFTER THEY HAD BEEN KILLED?
• 03:43 Joe: YOU HAVE TO REALIZE
• 03:44 THAT BACK IN THOSE DAYS,
• 03:45 PEOPLE LIVED IN COMMUNITIES
• 03:46 WHERE EVERYBODY KNEW EACH OTHER
• 03:48 AND THIS WAS TO GOING
• 03:49 TO HUMILIATE THE FAMILY
• 03:50 OF THE INDIVIDUAL, THE PEOPLE
• 03:51 WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THIS.
• 03:53 Tom: IT WASN'T TO EXECUTE THEM,
• 03:54 THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN EXECUTED,
• 03:55 BUT TO--
• 03:56 Joe: THEY WERE DEAD, THEY WERE
• 03:57 DEAD AND THEN HUNG FROM A TREE.
• 03:58 Tom: HOW, ACTUALLY,
• 03:59 DID DEATH OCCUR
• 04:02 WHEN A PERSON WAS CRUCIFIED?
• 04:04 Joe: THIS IS SOMETHING WHICH IS,
• 04:05 UNTIL LATELY, VERY, VERY,
• 04:07 I THINK, MISUNDERSTOOD.
• 04:10 WE KNOW THAT, FOR EXAMPLE,
• 04:11 IF I WERE TO TAKE A YOUNG MAN,
• 04:12 IF I WERE TO HANDCUFF HIM
• 04:14 AND HANG HIM FROM A BEAM
• 04:15 BY HIS HANDS, HE'S DEAD
• 04:17 WITHIN AN HOUR OF ASPHYXIATION.
• 04:19 IF YOU HOLD HIS FEET DOWN,
• 04:21 SO HE CAN'T PULL HIMSELF
• 04:22 UP AND DOWN,
• 04:24 HE'S DEAD WITHIN 6-10 MINUTES.
• 04:25 Tom: SO IT MAKES A LOT
• 04:26 OF DIFFERENCE IF THE HANDS
• 04:28 ARE UP ABOVE THE HEAD.
• 04:29 Joe: EXACTLY.
• 04:30 ON THE OTHER HAND, IF THE HANDS
• 04:32 ARE EXTENDED IN THIS FASHION
• 04:33 HERE, YOU HAVE NO PROBLEMS
• 04:35 BREATHING WHATSOEVER.
• 04:37 THERE WERE EXPERIMENTS DONE
• 04:38 IN NEW YORK.
• 04:39 COLLEGE STUDENTS VOLUNTEERED TO
• 04:40 GO ON A CROSS WITH SEAT BELTS.
• 04:42 THEIR WHOLE PHYSIOLOGICAL
• 04:44 RESPONSE WAS MONITORED.
• 04:45 Tom: PEOPLE ACTUALLY VOLUNTEERED
• 04:46 TO BE CRUCIFIED TEMPORARILY
• 04:48 THEN.
• 04:50 Joe: THERE WERE STUDENTS
• 04:51 UP THERE FOR 45 MINUTES,
• 04:52 WHICH HAD NO PROBLEMS
• 04:53 WHATSOEVER WITH BREATHING;
• 04:54 SO ALL THE THEORIES
• 04:55 ABOUT BREATHING DIFFICULTIES
• 04:57 ARE CORRECT ONLY IF YOUR HANDS
• 04:59 ARE ABOVE YOUR HEAD.
• 05:00 IF YOUR HANDS ARE OUTSPREAD,
• 05:01 THE BODY GOES INTO WHAT'S CALLED
• 05:03 "HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK."
• 05:04 IT'S ONE OF THE TYPES OF SHOCK.
• 05:06 AND YOU EVENTUALLY,
• 05:08 WHAT HAPPENS IS THE SYSTEM
• 05:09 METABOLICALLY, PHYSIOLOGICALLY
• 05:10 SHUTS DOWN, AND THEN,
• 05:12 YOU EVENTUALLY DIE.
• 05:13 NOW, I CAN KEEP YOU UP THERE
• 05:14 FOR HOURS, DAYS.
• 05:19 WE KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE,
• 05:20 OF A CASE IN BETHLEHEM
• 05:21 WHERE THERE WERE THREE FRIENDS
• 05:22 OF JOSEPHUS WHO WERE BEING
• 05:24 CRUCIFIED IN BETHLEHEM...
• 05:25 BEEN ON A CROSS, I THINK,
• 05:26 FOR TWO DAYS.
• 05:27 AND HE WENT TO THE AUTHORITIES
• 05:29 AND THEY SAID, "TAKE THEM DOWN."
• 05:31 HE WENT THERE
• 05:32 AND TOOK THEM DOWN.
• 05:33 ONE OR TWO OF THEM
• 05:34 LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
• 05:35 SO IT DEPENDS UPON, REALLY,
• 05:37 THE SADISTIC INGENUITY
• 05:38 OF THE EXECUTIONER.
• 05:39 HE CAN MAKE IT FAST.
• 05:40 HE CAN MAKE IT SLOW.
• 05:41 Tom: SO IN THIS KIND OF SHOCK,
• 05:43 WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SYSTEMS
• 05:45 OF THE BODY?
• 05:47 Joe: YEAH, WHAT HAPPENS IS IT
• 05:48 METABOLICALLY--THESE THINGS
• 05:50 AND PHYSIOLOGICALLY,
• 05:51 THESE THINGS START TO SHUT DOWN,
• 05:52 OKAY, IN THE WHOLE--
• 05:55 WHOLE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS,
• 05:56 THE BREATHING,
• 05:57 THE BLOOD CIRCULATION
• 05:58 AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
• 06:00 NOW WHAT'S INTERESTING
• 06:01 ABOUT THIS IS IF YOU REMOVE
• 06:03 THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES
• 06:04 WHICH ARE CAUSING YOU
• 06:05 TO GO INTO HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK,
• 06:08 YOU CAN REVIVE THE PERSON TODAY,
• 06:09 WE KNOW CLINICALLY
• 06:10 IN ABOUT 75% OF THE CASES,
• 06:12 WHICH IS THE REASON WHY
• 06:15 JOSEPHUS COULD GO TO BETHLEHEM,
• 06:16 REMOVE THESE INDIVIDUALS,
• 06:17 AND ONE OR MAYBE TWO OF THEM
• 06:20 SURVIVED.
• 06:21 THE OTHER THING IS,
• 06:22 I THINK THIS POINTS OUT THE FACT
• 06:24 THAT IN JUDAISM, ONE WAS
• 06:26 REQUIRED TO GO TO THE GRAVE
• 06:27 OF THE DECEASED THREE DAYS
• 06:28 AFTER THE PERSON DIED.
• 06:30 THE REASON IS THAT TRYING
• 06:32 TO CLINICALLY DEFINE DEATH,
• 06:34 EVEN TODAY,
• 06:35 FOR THE INEXPERIENCED PERSON,
• 06:37 IS VERY DIFFICULT.
• 06:39 AND SO BACK IN ANTIQUITY,
• 06:41 ACCORDING TO JUDAIC LAW,
• 06:43 THREE DAYS AFTER YOU WERE DEAD,
• 06:44 SOMEBODY WENT TO THE TOMB.
• 06:46 Tom: SO THEY HAD TO VERIFY THE--
• 06:48 Joe: THEY HAD TO VERIFY IT
• 06:49 AND WE EVEN KNOW OF A CASE,
• 06:50 FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE THE JEWS
• 06:51 WENT TO THE TOMB
• 06:52 AND THE GUY WAS NOT DEAD.
• 06:53 HE HAD GONE INTO SOME TYPE
• 06:54 OF A COMA AND EVIDENTLY
• 06:56 IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT
• 06:57 THE JEWS REALIZED THAT,
• 06:59 HALACHICALLY,
• 07:01 YOU HAD TO VISIT THE TOMB
• 07:02 THREE DAYS AFTER THE DEATH.
• 07:04 Zola: THE IMPORTANCE
• 07:05 OF THE THIRD DAY
• 07:06 IS EMPHASIZED IN MATTHEW 27,
• 07:08 WHICH STATES THAT:
• 07:24 JESUS HAD ADDRESSED THE
• 07:25 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE THIRD DAY
• 07:26 WHEN HE TOLD HIS DISCIPLES
• 07:28 THAT THE SON OF MAN WOULD BE
• 07:29 DELIVERED TO THE GENTILES
• 07:31 TO MOCK AND TO SCOURGE
• 07:32 AND TO CRUCIFY HIM
• 07:34 AND THE THIRD DAY
• 07:36 HE SHALL RISE AGAIN.
• 07:38 Tom: WELL, WE UNDERSTAND
• 07:39 THAT OFTEN DURING CRUCIFIXION,
• 07:42 THE LEGS OF THE VICTIM
• 07:44 WOULD BE BROKEN.
• 07:46 WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE IN THAT?
• 07:47 Joe: ONE OF THE THINGS WHICH
• 07:48 THEY WOULD DO TO PROLONG IT
• 07:51 IS THAT THEY WOULD TAKE A PIECE
• 07:52 OF WOOD ABOUT THIS WIDE...
• 07:56 ABOUT THIS LONG....
• 07:57 THEY WOULD PUT UNDERNEATH
• 07:58 THE BUTTOCKS.
• 07:59 AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS
• 08:00 THE INDIVIDUALS WOULD USE
• 08:01 THEIR ARMS AND THE LEGS
• 08:02 TO PUSH THEMSELVES UP
• 08:03 ON THE CROSS.
• 08:04 AND YOU CAN SIT THERE
• 08:05 FOR MAYBE A MINUTE OR TWO,
• 08:07 YOU CAN INHALE-EXHALE,
• 08:08 BUT WHAT HAPPENS,
• 08:09 EVENTUALLY YOU'RE GOING TO SLIP.
• 08:10 AND WHAT HAPPENS IS
• 08:11 THAT ONCE YOU STEP DOWN,
• 08:12 THE PROCESS THEN STARTS
• 08:13 ALL OVER AGAIN.
• 08:15 SO, TO MAKE DEATH MUCH QUICKER,
• 08:16 WHAT YOU DO IS
• 08:17 YOU BREAK THE LEGS AND THEY THEN
• 08:18 CANNOT USE THE LEGS TO PULL
• 08:19 THEMSELVES UP ON THIS LITTLE--
• 08:22 IT'S CALLED A SEDULUM.
• 08:24 SO WHAT IT DOES IS, AGAIN,
• 08:25 IN TERMS OF THE BODY
• 08:26 GOING INTO SHOCK,
• 08:27 IT'S GOING TO HASTEN DEATH.
• 08:29 Tom: SO THAT WAS A MEANS
• 08:30 OF HASTENING DEATH.
• 08:31 Joe: OF HASTENING A DEATH,
• 08:32 AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO REALIZE
• 08:33 THERE MAY BE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
• 08:36 WAITING IN LINE, FOR EXAMPLE,
• 08:38 THE CASE IN ROME,
• 08:39 WHERE YOU'VE 6,000 PEOPLE.
• 08:40 YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT FAST
• 08:42 AND YOU CAN'T BE WAITING THERE
• 08:45 THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
• 08:46 SO THESE WERE WAYS, I THINK,
• 08:48 FOR THE ROMANS SOLDIERS--
• 08:49 IT WAS ALWAYS A THREE-MAN,
• 08:50 AN EXECUTION TEAM--THIS WAS
• 08:52 WAYS OF SPEEDING UP THE PROCESS.
• 08:54 Zola: ON THE DAY OF JESUS'
• 08:55 CRUCIFIXION, THE ROMAN SOLDIERS
• 08:57 BROKE THE LEGS
• 08:58 OF THE TWO THIEVES,
• 08:59 IN ORDER TO ASSURE THEIR DEATH
• 09:00 BEFORE THE ONCOMING SABBATH.
• 09:02 "BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS,
• 09:04 AND SAW THAT HE WAS DEAD
• 09:05 ALREADY,
• 09:06 THEY BRAKE NOT HIS LEGS:
• 09:08 BUT ONE OF THE SOLDIERS
• 09:09 WITH A SPEAR PIERCED HIS SIDE,
• 09:11 AND FORTHWITH CAME THERE OUT
• 09:13 BLOOD AND WATER.
• 09:15 FOR THESE THINGS WERE DONE,
• 09:17 THAT THE SCRIPTURE SHOULD BE
• 09:18 FULFILLED, A BONE OF HIM
• 09:20 SHALL NOT BE BROKEN."
• 09:22 AND AGAIN ANOTHER SCRIPTURE
• 09:23 SAITH, "THEY SHALL LOOK UPON HIM
• 09:25 WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED.
• 09:27 Tom: JOE, I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE
• 09:29 MADE A VERY RARE FIND OF AN
• 09:33 EXAMPLE OF A CRUCIFIED PERSON.
• 09:40 WHEN WAS THIS FOUND
• 09:41 AND WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES
• 09:43 AROUND ITS FINDING?
• 09:45 Joe: OKAY, IN 1968
• 09:48 A COLLEAGUE OF MINE WAS DIGGING
• 09:49 HERE IN JERUSALEM.
• 09:51 IT WAS ONE OF THESE ACCIDENTAL
• 09:52 FINDS AND HERE WERE A SERIES
• 09:55 OF OSSUARIES IN A JEWISH TOMB
• 09:57 GOING BACK TO THE TIME
• 09:58 OF CHRIST.
• 10:00 AND IN ONE OF THE OSSUARIES,
• 10:01 THEY FOUND A HEEL BONE.
• 10:02 IT'S WHAT'S CALLED
• 10:03 A "CALCANEUM" OF AN INDIVIDUAL.
• 10:05 AND WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS,
• 10:07 IF YOU LOOK VERY CLEARLY,
• 10:08 YOU CAN SEE THIS IS
• 10:09 AN INDIVIDUAL WHICH HAD A NAIL
• 10:11 WHICH IS DRIVEN LATERALLY
• 10:13 THROUGH A PIECE OF WOOD.
• 10:14 WE CAN STILL SEE TRACES
• 10:15 OF OLIVE WOOD HERE
• 10:16 AFTER 2,000 YEARS.
• 10:17 IT THEN WENT LATERALLY
• 10:19 INTO THE HEEL,
• 10:21 AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED...
• 10:22 Tom: NOW, THAT'S A--
• 10:24 Joe: THIS IS THE RIGHT HEEL.
• 10:25 Tom: --THE RIGHT HEEL
• 10:26 OF A HUMAN FOOT WITH A NAIL
• 10:30 THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF IT
• 10:32 AND THERE'S EVIDENCE OF
• 10:34 A PIECE OF WOOD--
• 10:35 Joe: A PIECE OF WOOD HERE.
• 10:36 Tom: --ON THE OUTSIDE.
• 10:37 Joe: OKAY, LET ME GO AHEAD
• 10:38 AND EXPLAIN IT TO YOU, PERHAPS,
• 10:39 IN A DIFFERENT WAY AND MAYBE
• 10:40 IT'LL MAKE IT MUCH CLEARER.
• 10:41 WE HAVE A NAIL HERE.
• 10:42 THIS IS ABOUT 11.5 CENTIMETERS
• 10:44 LONG; THIS WAS MORE OR LESS
• 10:45 THE LENGTH OF THAT NAIL.
• 10:46 Tom: THAT'S TYPICAL
• 10:47 OF THE ROMAN-SQUARED SHAPE
• 10:51 OF THE NAIL BODY ITSELF.
• 10:53 Joe: CORRECT.
• 10:55 WHAT THEY DID WAS THAT THEY
• 10:56 DROVE THIS THROUGH
• 10:57 A PIECE OF OLIVE WOOD.
• 10:58 IT THEN FUNCTIONS AS A WASHER.
• 11:00 NOW THAT YOU HAVE IT
• 11:01 THROUGH THE PIECE OF WOOD,
• 11:03 THEY THEN WOULD TAKE THE HEEL
• 11:04 OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
• 11:06 IT THEN PENETRATED THE HEEL
• 11:08 GOING IN FROM THE OUTSIDE.
• 11:10 AND IN THIS CASE HERE,
• 11:11 WHAT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING,
• 11:12 THEY THEN NAILED HIM
• 11:14 TO THE TREE; AND WHAT HAPPENED,
• 11:16 AGAIN LEFT FOOT OVER HERE,
• 11:18 RIGHT FOOT OVER HERE,
• 11:20 WHAT HAPPENED, IT SEEMS THAT
• 11:22 WHEN THIS WENT INTO THE TREE,
• 11:24 THE NAIL BENT
• 11:25 AND IT FISH-HOOKED.
• 11:27 Tom: YOU MEAN IT HIT
• 11:28 AN OBSTRUCTION OF SOME KIND
• 11:29 OR A KNOT OR SOMETHING?
• 11:30 Joe: EXACTLY...PERHAPS A KNOT
• 11:31 IN THE WOOD OR SOMETHING HARD
• 11:32 IN THE WOOD.
• 11:33 WHEN IT FISH-HOOKED, IT THEN
• 11:34 BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE IT,
• 11:35 SO THAT'S THE REASON.
• 11:36 IF YOU LOOK AT THIS HERE,
• 11:38 WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE,
• 11:39 YOU SEE HOW THE THING IS BENT
• 11:40 OVER HERE AND THIS SIMPLY
• 11:42 MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE
• 11:45 SO THEY BURIED THIS INDIVIDUAL
• 11:47 WITH THE NAIL IN HIS FOOT.
• 11:48 Tom: NORMALLY, I SUPPOSE
• 11:49 THE NAIL WAS REMOVED,
• 11:51 IF IT COULD BE, IN MANY CASES.
• 11:54 Joe: YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT
• 11:55 WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE,
• 11:56 YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE ONLY CASE
• 11:57 IN THE WORLD.
• 11:58 THERE IS NO OTHER CASE,
• 11:59 WHATSOEVER, WHERE WE HAVE
• 12:01 DIRECT PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
• 12:02 OF CRUCIFIXION.
• 12:04 THE REASONS I THINK ARE TWO;
• 12:05 ONE THING IS THAT MOST PEOPLE
• 12:06 WERE PROBABLY TIED TO CROSSES.
• 12:08 IF YOU LOOK AT THE GOOD THIEF
• 12:09 AND THE BAD THIEF,
• 12:10 THEY'RE ALWAYS TIED; JESUS IS
• 12:11 THE ONLY ONE THAT'S NAILED.
• 12:12 Tom: SO NAILING
• 12:13 WAS NOT ALWAYS COMMON.
• 12:14 Joe: I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN
• 12:15 THE EXCEPTION.
• 12:16 I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN
• 12:17 THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE,
• 12:18 FIRST OF ALL, JUST IN TERMS OF
• 12:19 ECOLOGY, IN TERMS OF HAVING TO
• 12:20 CONTINUALLY RECYCLE THE CROSS IF
• 12:22 YOU ARE CONTINUALLY NAILING IT.
• 12:25 AFTER A FEW CRUCIFIXIONS,
• 12:26 YOU HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER CROSS.
• 12:28 IF YOU TIED THEM UP THERE--
• 12:29 AGAIN, THERE'S NO RELATIONSHIP
• 12:30 WHATSOEVER BETWEEN
• 12:31 BEING NAILED OR TIED; THE BODY'S
• 12:33 GOING TO GO INTO SHOCK.
• 12:34 Tom: SAME THING HAPPENS.
• 12:35 Joe: SAME THING HAPPENS.
• 12:36 THE OTHER THING IS WE KNOW
• 12:37 FROM JEWISH SOURCES THAT THERE
• 12:38 WAS PROBABLY A BRISK TRADE
• 12:41 GOING ON IN NAILS OF PEOPLE
• 12:44 WHO HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED.
• 12:45 Tom: WHY WOULD SOMEBODY WANT
• 12:46 A NAIL FROM SOMEBODY WHO HAD
• 12:48 BEEN CRUCIFIED?
• 12:49 Joe: ACCORDING TO
• 12:50 THE JEWISH SOURCES,
• 12:51 ACCORDING TO THE MISHNAH,
• 12:53 THERE WERE THREE THINGS
• 12:54 THAT A JEW COULD CARRY
• 12:55 IN HIS POCKET ON SHABBAT.
• 12:56 YOU KNOW THAT ON SHABBAT
• 12:57 JEWS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY
• 12:58 ANYTHING IN THEIR POCKETS,
• 12:59 NO MONEY,
• 13:01 BUT THERE WERE THREE EXCEPTIONS:
• 13:03 ONE WAS THE TOOTH OF A JACKAL;
• 13:05 THE OTHER WAS AN EGG
• 13:06 FROM A LIZARD; AND THE THIRD
• 13:07 THING WAS A NAIL OF A MAN
• 13:09 WHO HAD BEEN CRUCIFIED.
• 13:10 EVIDENTLY THESE THINGS
• 13:11 WERE SUCH POWERFUL AMULETS
• 13:14 THAT THESE WERE IN THAT CATEGORY
• 13:15 OF EXCEPTIONS WHICH YOU COULD
• 13:17 CARRY ON SHABBAT.
• 13:18 THEY WERE THAT POWERFUL.
• 13:20 SO THE EVIDENCE SEEMS TO SUGGEST
• 13:21 THERE WAS PROBABLY
• 13:22 A BRISK TRADING GOING ON
• 13:23 OF MEN WHO HAD BEEN CRUCIFIED
• 13:26 WITH THE NAILS.
• 13:27 Tom: SO THERE WAS A RELIGIOUS
• 13:28 REASON FOR WANTING A NAIL.
• 13:31 Joe: I WOULDN'T SAY RELIGIOUS,
• 13:33 I WOULD SAY A SUPERSTITIOUS
• 13:34 REASON IS WHAT IT WAS,
• 13:35 IT WAS SUPERSTITIOUS.
• 13:36 Tom: AND THAT'S WHY
• 13:37 YOU WOULDN'T FIND MANY BONES
• 13:40 WITH NAILS IN THEM
• 13:41 FROM CRUCIFIED PEOPLE.
• 13:42 Joe: I'M SURE...I'M SURE.
• 13:44 Tom: IT WAS A RARE THING,
• 13:45 BUT THEY COULDN'T REMOVE

• 15:16 IT NEVER GETS OLD.
• 15:17 IT'S A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE.
• 15:19 YOU REALLY SHOULD COME WITH US.
• 15:20 IN FACT, I'VE GOT OUR
• 15:21 TOUR MANAGER, TRACIE, WITH US.
• 15:23 TRACIE, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
• 15:25 TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON NOW
• 15:26 WITH OUR TOURS.
• 15:27 Tracie: IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU,
• 15:28 MYLES; IT'S JUST SUCH A JOY
• 15:29 TO HAVE YOU AND KATHARINE
• 15:30 ON THE TOUR.
• 15:31 I THINK ACTUALLY HAVING
• 15:32 A MARRIED COUPLE ON TOUR
• 15:33 HAS JUST EVEN DEEPENED
• 15:36 THAT INTIMACY; THE ONE THING
• 15:37 I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TODAY
• 15:38 IS JUST HOW YOUR INTIMACY IS
• 15:40 GOING TO DEEPEN WITH THE LORD
• 15:42 WHEN YOU COME ON TOUR AND TO SEE
• 15:43 A MARRIED COUPLE LIKE MYLES
• 15:45 AND KATHARINE WHO HAVE SERVED
• 15:46 THE LORD SO FAITHFULLY
• 15:47 AND WHO ARE TRULY ONE.
• 15:49 WE SEE MESSIANIC JEW
• 15:50 AND CHRISTIAN COMING TOGETHER
• 15:52 AND WHAT I TELL PEOPLE, MYLES,
• 15:54 IS THAT I WENT TO
• 15:55 DALLAS SEMINARY FOR FIVE YEARS.
• 15:56 WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT ISRAEL.
• 15:57 I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS IMPORTANT,
• 15:59 AND WHEN I TOOK MY FIRST TRIP
• 16:00 OVER THERE, I FELT LIKE
• 16:03 WHEN I WAS AT THE WESTERN WALL,
• 16:05 JUST AN ANALOGY I SAY IS I FELT
• 16:06 THAT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
• 16:08 THE LORD WENT FROM A DATING
• 16:10 TO A MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP.
• 16:11 YOU KNOW, IN SCRIPTURE,
• 16:13 IT TALKS ABOUT "A KNOWING"
• 16:14 AND THERE IS A KNOWING
• 16:15 AND WE ARE SO THRILLED
• 16:17 AND WE'RE PRIVILEGED THAT YOU,
• 16:19 OUR VIEWERS, WOULD WATCH
• 16:20 OUR SHOW SO FAITHFULLY,
• 16:21 BUT THERE IS JUST SOMETHING THAT
• 16:23 CANNOT BE TRANSLATED THROUGH
• 16:24 THAT SCREEN THAT THE PEOPLE
• 16:26 ARE GOING TO FEEL OVER IN ISRAEL
• 16:27 TO THEM, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
• 16:29 Myles: IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
• 16:30 WE HAD ONE PASTOR COME WITH US
• 16:32 AND HE SAID I WISH I HAD
• 16:34 EXPERIENCED THIS 35 YEARS AGO
• 16:36 IN SEMINARY; WHY DID I WAIT
• 16:37 MY WHOLE MINISTRY LIFE TO FIND
• 16:39 THIS DEPTH IN THE WORD
• 16:41 AND THIS RICHNESS IN THE BIBLE
• 16:43 BY COMING TO ISRAEL.
• 16:44 SO IT REALLY DOES
• 16:45 DEEPEN EVERYTHING.
• 16:46 Tracie: IT DOES AND ONE THING
• 16:47 ABOUT OUR TOURS, PEOPLE NEED
• 16:48 TO KNOW, MYLES, THAT NOT
• 16:49 EVERY TOUR--MOST DON'T
• 16:50 ACTUALLY--HAVE
• 16:52 MESSIANIC JEWISH GUIDES
• 16:53 AND SO IT'S THAT KNOWLEDGE.
• 16:55 FIRST OF ALL, NOT ONLY DO THEY
• 16:56 NOT HAVE MESSIANIC JEWISH GUIDES
• 16:58 MOST DON'T HAVE TOUR PASTORS
• 16:59 SO WE HAVE A MESSIANIC JEW
• 17:00 TOUR PASTOR, YOU AND KATHARINE
• 17:02 THERE, OPENING THE WORD
• 17:04 DEVOTIONALLY AND THEN THERE IS
• 17:05 SOMETHING--THERE IS SOMETHING
• 17:07 IN ISRAEL...
• 17:08 THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
• 17:10 IT'S UNSPEAKABLE.
• 17:11 HIS PRESENCE IS THERE.
• 17:12 THE FIRST DAY ON OUR TOUR,
• 17:14 WE TAKE A BOAT RIDE
• 17:15 IN THE SEA OF GALILEE
• 17:16 AND I TELL YOU SOMETHING,
• 17:17 PEOPLE ARE SO LOOKING FORWARD
• 17:19 TO THE BAPTISM THAT AFTERNOON
• 17:20 THEY DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE
• 17:21 SO OVERWHELMING, TEARS JUST
• 17:24 FLOWING DOWN WHEN YOU ARE
• 17:27 ON THAT BOAT AND YOU HEAR
• 17:30 IN THE BACKGROUND, A SONG
• 17:31 PLAYING "IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU,
• 17:32 JESUS" AND YOU EXPERIENCE
• 17:34 AND YOU CAN ALMOST SEE
• 17:36 THE SCRIPTURE UNFOLDING
• 17:37 RIGHT BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES
• 17:38 AND WE WOULD LOVE YOU TO COME
• 17:39 WITH US ON TOUR.
• 17:41 Myles: THANK YOU, TRACIE.
• 17:42 THIS IS REALLY PART OF WHAT
• 17:43 WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE
• 17:44 AT ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES.
• 17:46 WE WANT TO DEEPEN
• 17:47 YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
• 17:48 WE WANT TO HELP YOU TO KNOW
• 17:50 MORE ABOUT THE BIBLE
• 17:51 AND TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES

• 17:56 NOW ONE WAY THAT YOU CAN DO THAT
• 17:57 IS THROUGH OUR OFFER THIS WEEK,
• 18:00 OUR RESOURCE THIS WEEK IS
• 18:01 "DISCOVERING OUR JEWISH ROOTS."
• 18:03 THIS IS A NINE-CD SET THAT WILL
• 18:05 HELP YOU TO REALLY CONNECT
• 18:07 THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW,
• 18:09 TO UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE
• 18:10 OF HEBREW AND THE WAY
• 18:12 THAT JEWISH MIND-SET INFUSES
• 18:14 THE BIBLE; NOT JUST
• 18:15 THE OLD TESTAMENT BUT ALSO
• 18:16 INTO THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 18:18 AND HOW THE JEWISHNESS
• 18:19 OF THE GOSPEL COMES THROUGH
• 18:21 ONCE YOU SEE THINGS
• 18:22 FROM THE HEBREW MIND-SET.
• 18:23 THIS IS A GREAT RESOURCE.

• 18:29 THESE PROGRAMS.
• 18:30 KATHARINE AND I HAVE BEEN

• 18:33 WE WANT TO SEE IT NOT ONLY GROW
• 18:35 AND CONTINUE BUT WE'RE LOOKING
• 18:37 FOR REACHING THE NEXT
• 18:38 GENERATION, WE'RE LOOKING
• 18:39 FOR COLLEGE AGE AND YOUNGER
• 18:41 PEOPLE TO COME TO KNOW YESHUA
• 18:43 AS THE JEWISH MESSIAH.
• 18:45 WE'RE HOPING THAT

• 18:47 ONLY MAINTAIN WHAT WE'VE DONE
• 18:49 THAT'S BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION
• 18:50 THAT ZOLA LAID, BUT ALSO
• 18:53 BECAUSE IT'S BUILT ON

• 18:56 WILL INCREASE UNTIL WE SEE
• 18:58 THE DAY APPROACHING AS WE SEE
• 19:00 THE DAY OF THE LORD COMING.
• 19:01 AND HE'S COMING.
• 19:02 SO NOW LET'S GO TO TOM McCALL
• 19:04 WITH ANTHROPOLOGIST JOE ZIAS.
• 19:08 (♪ Somber Music ♪)
• 19:15 Tom: HOW DOES ALL OF THIS, JOE,
• 19:17 RELATE TO THE MOST IMPORTANT
• 19:18 CRUCIFIXION THAT WE KNOW OF,
• 19:20 THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS?
• 19:22 Joe: THIS IS A QUESTION
• 19:23 WHICH IS FREQUENTLY ASKED
• 19:26 AND I WOULD SAY THAT IT
• 19:27 PROBABLY IMPACTS VERY LITTLE.
• 19:31 THE REASON IS IF YOU LOOK
• 19:32 AT THE NEW TESTAMENT,
• 19:33 IT SAYS JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED...
• 19:35 END OF SENTENCE.
• 19:36 IT DOESN'T SAY HOW.
• 19:37 IT DOESN'T SAY THREE NAILS,
• 19:38 FOUR NAILS.
• 19:40 THE WHOLE QUESTION OF NAILING
• 19:41 OF THE FEET IS SOMETHING WHICH
• 19:42 IS VERY, VERY QUESTIONABLE.
• 19:44 IT SIMPLY SAYS HE WAS CRUCIFIED.
• 19:47 I THINK WHAT IT DOES,
• 19:48 IT FORCES US TO GO AND REALIZE
• 19:50 THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE CRUCIFIED.
• 19:52 IT WAS A VERY CRUEL
• 19:54 FORM OF PUNISHMENT.
• 19:57 IT WASN'T JUST SOMETHING WHICH
• 19:58 WAS FOR JESUS AND CHRISTIANS;
• 20:02 EVERYBODY DID IT FOR
• 20:03 A VERY, VERY, VERY LONG TIME.
• 20:05 SO THESE ARE TYPES OF QUESTIONS,
• 20:07 I THINK, WHICH ONE ASKS.
• 20:09 THE OTHER THING IS,
• 20:10 WHICH IS VERY CLEAR,
• 20:11 IT FORCES US TO GO AND ASK
• 20:13 QUESTIONS ABOUT ALL THOSE
• 20:14 PICTURES WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT
• 20:15 FOR OVER A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 20:18 ONE THING WHICH IS CLEAR
• 20:20 WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT
• 20:21 CRUCIFIXION SCENES, WITH
• 20:22 THE EXCEPTION OF VERY, VERY FEW--
• 20:24 AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS
• 20:25 FOR YEARS--WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING
• 20:27 AT CRUCIFIXION SCENES,
• 20:28 YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEOLOGY.
• 20:30 YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT HISTORY.
• 20:31 CASE IN POINT, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
• 20:35 TO CRUCIFY A PERSON
• 20:36 THROUGH THE HANDS.
• 20:37 Tom: THROUGH THE PALMS
• 20:38 OF THE HANDS?
• 20:39 Joe: THE PALM OF THE HANDS.
• 20:40 Tom: THAT'S WHERE WE
• 20:41 NORMALLY SEE IT IN PICTURES.
• 20:42 Joe: THAT'S WHERE YOU'D ALWAYS,
• 20:43 WITH ONE OR TWO EXCEPTIONS.
• 20:46 WE'VE KNOWN SINCE THE 1940s
• 20:48 A FRENCH DOCTOR TOOK--
• 20:50 HE WAS A SURGEON.
• 20:51 HE TOOK ARMS OF PEOPLE
• 20:52 WHO'D BEEN AMPUTATED,
• 20:54 FIXED THEM TO A CROSS,
• 20:55 PUT WEIGHTS, HE FOUND OUT
• 20:56 THAT MORE THAN 80 POUNDS,
• 20:58 IF THE NAIL'S HERE,
• 20:59 THE BODY CAN'T BE SUPPORTED.
• 21:01 Tom: WHAT HAPPENS?
• 21:02 Joe: IT JUST RIPS OUT
• 21:03 BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING HERE.
• 21:04 YOU HAVE TO REALIZE,
• 21:05 THAT FROM THIS POINT ON,
• 21:06 WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS NOTHING
• 21:07 BUT FLESH AND MUSCLE.
• 21:09 Tom: SO IT'D JUST PULL OUT
• 21:10 FROM THE FINGER AREAS.
• 21:11 Joe: IT JUST PULLS OUT.
• 21:12 IF THEY DID NAIL
• 21:15 AND WE'VE KNOWN THIS NOW
• 21:16 FOR ABOUT 400 OR 500 YEARS.
• 21:19 WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
• 21:20 THIS FRENCH DOCTOR TOLD US
• 21:21 IN THE 1940s; WE'VE KNOWN,
• 21:22 SINCE, I THINK, THE 16th CENTURY
• 21:25 THAT THE NAIL HAS TO GO
• 21:26 THROUGH THE WRIST.
• 21:28 FRENCH ARTISTS--ITALIAN ARTISTS
• 21:31 WERE PUTTING CADAVERS ON CROSSES
• 21:33 FOR ARTISTIC REALISM AND THEY
• 21:34 REALIZED IN THE 16th CENTURY
• 21:36 IF THE NAIL DOESN'T GO
• 21:37 THROUGH HERE...
• 21:38 THE BODY CAN'T BE SUPPORTED.
• 21:39 SO RULE NUMBER ONE,
• 21:41 IF THEY ARE USING NAILS,
• 21:42 IT HAS TO GO RIGHT IN HERE.
• 21:43 Tom: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
• 21:44 IT'S IN THE WRIST THERE?
• 21:45 WHAT KEEPS IT FROM COMING OUT?
• 21:47 Joe: OKAY WHAT YOU HAVE HERE,
• 21:48 YOU HAVE TWO BONES HERE.
• 21:49 YOU HAVE WHAT'S CALLED
• 21:50 THE ULNA AND THE RADIUS.
• 21:51 AND THE NAIL GOES BETWEEN
• 21:52 THE ULNA AND THE RADIUS.
• 21:54 THEN YOU HAVE THE SMALL BONES
• 21:56 HERE IN THE HAND WHICH ARE
• 21:58 FULLY ARTICULATED AND THIS WAS
• 21:59 WHAT YOU WERE SUSPENDED FROM.
• 22:01 Tom: AND THAT WOULD HOLD
• 22:02 THE WEIGHT OF THE PULL.
• 22:03 Joe: THAT WOULD HOLD.
• 22:04 IT WOULD HOLD SOMEONE
• 22:05 LIKE YOU OR SOMEONE LIKE ME.
• 22:06 THE OTHER THING WHICH YOU
• 22:07 HAVE TO REALIZE IS THAT
• 22:08 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
• 22:10 IT DOESN'T MENTION THREE NAILS,
• 22:11 FOUR NAILS, FIVE NAILS;
• 22:13 IT SIMPLY SAYS HE WAS CRUCIFIED.
• 22:14 Tom: YES.
• 22:15 Joe: NOW WHY DID THEY USE
• 22:16 THREE NAILS?
• 22:18 THEY USED THREE NAILS,
• 22:19 IT REPRESENTS THEOLOGY:
• 22:21 THE FATHER, THE SON
• 22:22 AND THE HOLY GHOST.
• 22:23 THE OTHER THING IS BY USING
• 22:24 THREE NAILS ON THE FEET,
• 22:26 WHAT YOU DO IS THAT YOU
• 22:27 CROSS THE FEET SO THAT YOU GET
• 22:28 ANOTHER CROSS IN.
• 22:31 THE OTHER THING IS THAT YOU HAVE
• 22:32 TO REALIZE, PEOPLE WHEN THEY
• 22:33 WERE CRUCIFIED, THEY WERE NAKED.
• 22:34 IF YOU LOOK AT THE GARMENT
• 22:35 WHICH JESUS IS WEARING
• 22:36 IT'S GENERALLY WHAT,
• 22:37 CROSS-SHAPED.
• 22:40 IT GOES THROUGH THE CROTCH,
• 22:41 UP AROUND THE WAIST.
• 22:43 SO WE SEE IN THE EARLY,
• 22:44 EARLY DAYS OF CHRISTIANITY,
• 22:46 IT TOOK THEM A WHILE BEFORE
• 22:47 THE ARTIST DECIDED, "OKAY, THIS
• 22:48 IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE DONE,"
• 22:50 BUT AGAIN IT'S THEOLOGY,
• 22:52 IT'S NOT HISTORY.

• 24:11 DEATH THAT WAS PERPETRATED

• 24:23 AND HE'S ALWAYS SORT OF
• 24:24 A BLOND, BLUE-EYED
• 24:25 SCANDINAVIAN-LOOKING JESUS
• 24:27 AND YET WE SEE THIS WAS
