Caption transcript for Sons of Promise: “Blessing, Covenant, Contention” (3/8)

• 00:27 AND THE LORD APPEARED UNTO ISAAC AND SAID,
• 00:30 "DWELL IN THIS LAND AND I WILL BE WITH YOU AND BLESS YOU."
• 00:36 "FOR TO YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS I GIVE ALL THESE LANDS"
• 00:41 "AND I WILL PERFORM THE OATH WHICH I SWORE TO YOUR FATHER ABRAHAM"
• 00:45 "AND I WILL MAKE YOUR DESCENDANTS MULTIPLY AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN"
• 00:51 "AND IN YOUR SEED ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED."
• 01:05 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
• 01:06 I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 01:08 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS.
• 01:09 AND WE ARE CONTINUING OUR SERIES
• 01:10 "SONS OF PROMISE; ISAAC AND JACOB".
• 01:13 THIS IS REALLY THE CONTINUATION OF THE STORY OF ABRAHAM
• 01:16 AND HIS CONTINUING STORY THAT COMES THROUGH THE GENERATIONS, DOR'V'DOR, IT SAYS IN HEBREW,
• 01:22 AND REALLY HOW GOD IS ALWAYS INTENDED TO BRING A BLESSING TO THE EARTH THROUGH THE LINE OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
• 01:29 YES, NOT ISHMAEL, BECAUSE GOD BLESSED ISHMAEL BUT THE COVENANT CAME THROUGH ISAAC
• 01:34 AND ITS ALWAYS MY HEARTBEAT TO PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE, THE ARAB PEOPLE,
• 01:39 BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME TO DRAW THIS DISTINCTION
• 01:43 THAT ISLAM AND ALLAH ARE NOT THE SAME AND DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM ABRAHAM.
• 01:51 AND ALLAH IS NOT THE SAME AS YAHWEH, SAVIOR, JEHOVAH OUR GOD.
• 01:57 THAT'S REALLY TRUE AND IT'S HARD TO SAY THESE DAYS.
• 01:59 IT IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT TO SAY THAT THE GOD OF THE KORAN AND THE GOD OF THE BIBLE ARE NOT THE SAME, BUT THAT'S THE TRUTH.
• 02:04 WELL THAT'S THE LINES THAT ARE BEING BLURRED.
• 02:06 THEY WANT TO SAY THAT ABRAHAM'S THE FATHER OF ALL THREE OF THESE RELIGIONS
• 02:10 WHEN ABRAHAM IS NOT THE FATHER OF ISLAM.
• 02:13 ISHMAEL IS FROM THE LINEAGE OF ABRAHAM BUT GOD DID NOT BIRTH ISLAM.
• 02:20 IT WAS A VEERING AWAY...
• 02:22 VEERING AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL INTENTION OF THE BOOK
• 02:26 AND THE INTENTION OF THE HEART OF GOD
• 02:28 WHICH IS ALWAYS REDEMPTIVE, ALWAYS SALVATION ORIENTED
• 02:31 AND SO WE SEE THAT THROUGHOUT THIS.
• 02:33 AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU TALK TO ANY MUSLIM PERSON
• 02:36 THEY KNOW THAT ALLAH IS NOT THE SAME AS YAHWEH.
• 02:39 THAT'S WHY THEY'RE FIGHTING AGAINST THE JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS.
• 02:44 EXACTLY, SO LET'S GO IMMEDIATELY TO OUR STORY.
• 02:46 WE'RE PICKING UP THE BIBLE STORY
• 02:48 WHERE WE FIND OUT ONCE AGAIN THAT THIS STORY IS THE STORY OF SALVATION.
• 02:52 IT IS TO THE JEWS AND THROUGH THE JEWS TO WHOSOEVER.
• 02:55 SO LET'S GO TO THE STORY OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB AND THE SONS OF PROMISE.
• 03:03 ISAAC'S FATHER ABRAHAM LIVED A LONG FULL LIFE AND DIED AT THE AGE OF 175.
• 03:09 AND ABRAHAM'S SONS ISAAC AND ISHMAEL BURIED THEIR FATHER IN THE CAVE OF MACHPELAH
• 03:16 IN THE FIELD THAT ABRAHAM HAD PURCHASED FROM THE HITTITES.
• 03:20 IT WAS HERE THAT SARAH HAD ALSO BEEN BURIED.
• 03:34 YEARS AGO GOD HAD SPOKEN TO ABRAHAM ABOUT HIS TWO SONS.
• 03:39 AS FOR ISHMAEL, I HAVE BLESSED HIM AND WILL MAKE HIM FRUITFUL
• 03:44 AND WILL MULTIPLY HIM EXCEEDINGLY.
• 03:46 TWELVE PRINCES SHALL HE BEGET
• 03:49 AND I WILL MAKE HIM A GREAT NATION.
• 03:52 BUT MY COVENANT WILL I ESTABLISH WITH ISAAC;
• 03:55 AN EVERLASTING COVENANT AND WITH HIS SEED AFTER HIM.
• 04:12 WE'RE COMING TO A PIVOTAL PART OF THE STORY
• 04:14 BECAUSE THE SONS OF PROMISE REALLY NEED TO MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE LINE OF ISHMAEL AND THE LINE OF ISAAC.
• 04:20 THIS IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE ISHMAEL IS BLESSED
• 04:23 BUT THE COVENANT GOD MAKES WITH ISAAC.
• 04:26 IN FACT, EVEN BACK IN GENESIS 17 HE SAYS
• 04:29 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:32 MY COVENANT I WILL MAKE WITH ISAAC.
• 04:36 RIGHT, YOU KNOW ALL THESE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM
• 04:39 ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE LINE FOR WHICH GOD ORDAINED THE SON TO BE BORN THROUGH.
• 04:45 ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB ARE AN ORDAINED LINE
• 04:49 BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH AND THEIR OBEDIENCE.
• 04:52 YES, AND YOU KNOW GOD BLESSED ISHMAEL.
• 04:55 HE GAVE HIM INCREDIBLE WEALTH.
• 04:57 HE GAVE HIM 12 SONS
• 04:59 AND WE KNOW THAT TODAY IT'S THE SONS OF ISHMAEL THAT ARE SITTING ON TOP OF THE OIL WEALTH OF THE WORLD.
• 05:04 IT'S NOT LIKE HE SAID I'M CURSING YOU...
• 05:06 NO, NO, NO, NO...
• 05:08 THERE'S A BLESSING TO ISHMAEL BUT THERE'S A REQUIREMENT JUST AS THERE IS FOR ANY OTHER SON.
• 05:12 THERE'S A REQUIREMENT TO COME IN THROUGH THE DOOR OF THE GREATER SON YESHUA.
• 05:17 AND FOR ISHMAEL THAT'S WHAT FACES HIM
• 05:20 IS MAKING THAT DECISION.
• 05:21 HERE IS THE COVENANT PROMISED TO ISAAC;
• 05:23 I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU GENERATIONS LIKE THE SANDS OF THE EARTH,
• 05:27 THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 05:29 AND THE STARS OF THE SKY, THE CHRISTIANS, THE BELIEVERS WHO ARE GRAFTED-IN
• 05:33 AND THE LAND ITSELF...
• 05:35 THIS LAND, HA' ERETZ, THE LAND, HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE SONS OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB
• 05:41 AND THAT'S A VERY STRONG DISTINCTION THAT WE'LL BE DRAWING OUT DURING THIS PROGRAM.
• 05:45 IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
• 05:47 YES, WE'LL SEE LATER ON HOW OUT OF ISHMAEL CAME A WHOLE NEW RELIGION AND ITS ISLAM
• 05:54 AND IT'S NOT THE SAME EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT BE THE SAME TRIBE OF SHEM OR COME FROM THE SAME PEOPLE GROUP.
• 06:01 BUT ISLAM, CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM ARE NOT THE SAME.
• 06:06 SO WE AS CHRISTIANS AND AS JEWS NEED TO MAKE THAT DISTINCTION EVEN MORE TODAY.
• 06:11 WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT GOD'S PLAN IS
• 06:14 AND WE NEED TO STAND WITH IT SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE ETERNAL SECURITY...
• 06:18 NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT'S ALOOF AND SOMETHING FAR OFF
• 06:21 AND MAYBE A "HOPE SO IF I DO SOME DRASTIC THING"
• 06:26 BUT GOD HAS A PLAN FOR ALL PEOPLE GROUPS.
• 06:28 HE ORDAINED IT THROUGH ABRAHAM BECAUSE HE HEARD THE CALL,
• 06:32 HE RESPONDED, HE OBEYED
• 06:34 AND HE WENT AND HE ESTABLISHED GOD'S SON, GOD'S PLAN THROUGH YESHUA HA MESHIACH.
• 06:40 THAT'S RIGHT. IT IS AVAILABLE...
• 06:42 THE COVENANT BLESSING IS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE GRAFTING-IN
• 06:45 IF THE SONS OF ISHMAEL WILL SAY YES TO YESHUA THEY WILL BE GRAFTED-IN
• 06:50 AND THEY'LL JOIN US JEW AND CHRISTIAN TOGETHER WITH THE LOVE OF GOD
• 06:55 BECAUSE YESHUA IS THE HEIR OF ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO HEBREWS CHAPTER 1, VERSE 2.
• 07:01 HE'S THE HEIR OF ALL THINGS.
• 07:02 BUT THEN ROMANS 8:17 GOES ON TO SAY THAT WE ARE JOINT HEIRS WITH HIM.
• 07:07 IN OTHER WORDS, WE GET THE BLESSING OF THE FIRSTBORN
• 07:10 BECAUSE OF OUR FAITH IN YESHUA HA MESHIACH.
• 07:13 AND THAT'S AVAILABLE TO THE SONS OF ISHMAEL.
• 07:16 IT'S ALMOST A PLEA.
• 07:17 YOU KNOW YOU CAN HEAR IT IN MY VOICE,
• 07:19 I'M PLEADING WITH THE SONS OF ISHMAEL
• 07:21 TO RECONSIDER THIS OTHER RELIGION AND THIS OTHER PATHWAY
• 07:24 AND THIS OTHER GOD THAT THEY'RE SERVING
• 07:26 AND TO ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BELIEVE INTO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
• 07:32 IT IS NOT ALLAH.
• 07:34 HE IS THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB AND THE WAY TO HIM IS THROUGH YESHUA HA MESHIACH
• 07:39 AND THAT'S OUR PRAYER TODAY THAT THE SONS OF ISHMAEL WOULD JOIN THOSE OF THE SONS OF ISAAC
• 07:44 AND THOSE GRAFTED-IN THAT ARE JOINT HEIRS WITH MESHIACH.
• 07:49 WE'LL BE BACK AFTER THIS.
• 07:59 SHALOM...MYLES HERE
• 08:01 YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SEE THE QUALITY OF THESE PROGRAMS AND THEY THINK OH THEY'VE GOT PLENTY OF MONEY.
• 08:04 MAYBE SOME CHURCH OR LARGE ORGANIZATION IS BEHIND THEM.
• 08:07 THIS IS NOT THE CASE.
• 08:08 WE ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON GIFTS FROM VIEWERS LIKE YOU,
• 08:12 ESPECIALLY FOR AIR TIME WHICH IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT EXPENSE.
• 08:15 THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US
• 08:16 ESPECIALLY AS WE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.
• 08:19 MESSIAH IS COMING SOON
• 08:20 AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO BRING YOU THESE MESSAGES AS WE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.
• 08:24 THANK YOU...AND SHALOM
• 09:35 WE REALLY SEE THE WRESTLING IN THE WOMB COME TO PASS IN ALL OF LIFE
• 09:40 AS THE STORY OF ISAAC AND ISHMAEL UNFOLDS BEFORE US.
• 09:44 BEHIND ME YOU SEE THE DOME OF THE ROCK AND THE AL AQSA MOSQUE.
• 09:48 WE'RE HERE WHERE THE MUSLIMS HAVE TAKEN OVER WHAT IS THE TEMPLE MOUNT,
• 09:53 THE PLACE WHERE ABRAHAM OFFERED UP ISAAC,
• 09:57 A HOLY PLACE IN JUDAISM.
• 09:59 AND WE REALLY HAVE A 4,000 YEAR PRESENCE HERE...THE JEWS DO.
• 10:03 BUT THE WRESTLING THAT THE MOM IS RELATING TO,
• 10:06 IT'S EVEN IN THE HEBREW LANGUAGE.
• 10:08 THE WORD FOR "HEAL", "THE HEAL GRABBER",
• 10:10 THE WORD FOR HEAL IS "AKEIB"
• 10:12 AND THEN THE WORD FOR TWISTING IS "AKAB"
• 10:14 AND OUT OF THAT WE GET "YAKOV" OR "JACOB".
• 10:17 THERE'S A RELATIONSHIP EVEN IN THE LANGUAGE ITSELF
• 10:20 BETWEEN WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WOMB AND WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH THEIR LIVES, THE LIVES OF THESE TWINS.
• 10:27 REMEMBER THAT GOD IS GOING TO PROPHECY THAT THE ELDER SHOULD SERVE THE YOUNGER.
• 10:31 AGAIN, THAT'S A STATEMENT THAT IN ORDER FOR ESAU TO COME INTO THE DESTINY,
• 10:36 THE ULTIMATE DESTINY THAT HE HAS,
• 10:38 IT WILL REQUIRE AN ACT OF HIS WILL.
• 10:41 HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO COME IN THROUGH THE SAME DOOR THAT JACOB OR ANYONE ELSE COMES IN THROUGH
• 10:46 WHICH IS THE DOOR OF THE GREATER SON, YESHUA HA MESHIACH.
• 10:49 ISAAC IS A PICTURE OF THE SON OF GOD.
• 10:53 HE WAS A PROMISED SON.
• 10:55 HE WAS A MIRACULOUS SON
• 10:56 AND HE REALLY REMINDS US OF THE FAITH AND OBEDIENCE THAT WE SAW WITH ABRAHAM.
• 11:02 IN FACT, ISAAC NEVER LEAVES THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 11:05 HE'S THERE.
• 11:06 IT'S A PICTURE OF THE HEAVENLIES.
• 11:07 CANAAN WAS A PICTURE OF THE HEAVENLY LAND AND YESHUA DWELLS IN HEAVEN.
• 11:12 ISAAC DWELT IN ISRAEL.
• 11:14 THERE'S A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS PROMISED SON IN THE NATURAL AND THE SON OF GOD.
• 11:20 THERE'S A PICTURE ALSO HERE OF THE DANGER OF NURTURING A GRUDGE.
• 11:25 THERE WAS SUCH INSECURITY ON THE PART OF ISHMAEL.
• 11:28 IT FOCUSED ON WHO HE WAS NOT.
• 11:30 HE WAS NOT ISAAC AND THEREFORE HE FELT UNLOVED.
• 11:33 HE WAS LOVED.
• 11:34 ABRAHAM BLESSED HIM.
• 11:36 GOD BLESSED HIM.
• 11:37 BUT HE FELT UNLOVED AND BECAUSE OF THAT HE HAD NURTURED A GRUDGE AGAINST HIS BROTHER
• 11:42 AND THEN IT PASSED ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION AND THE GENERATION AFTER THAT
• 11:46 AND BECAME HOSTILITY THAT WE SEE BEING PLAYED OUT IN THE WORLD TODAY.
• 11:50 NOW, ISHMAEL LIVED TO 137 YEARS.
• 11:53 HE LIVED A LONG LIFE.
• 11:55 BUT WE NEED TO REMIND YOU THAT THE RELIGION THAT CAME FROM THE SONS OF ISHMAEL,
• 12:01 THAT CAME THROUGH ESAU AND THE SONS OF ESAU
• 12:04 IS NOT THE SAME AS THE FAITH THAT YOU AND I ARE WALKING IN,
• 12:09 THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD THROUGH ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB AND THE BOOK...THE BIBLE.
• 12:15 IT'S A DIFFERENT WORK.
• 12:17 IN FACT I HAVE A PASTOR FRIEND HERE, AN ARAB CHRISTIAN PASTOR.
• 12:20 HE SAID WAY BACK IN THE DESERT WE LOST OUR BROTHER,
• 12:24 WE LOST OUR FATHER,
• 12:26 AND WE LOST THE GOD OF OUR FATHER
• 12:28 AND SO MANY OF US TODAY ARE SERVING A DIFFERENT GOD.
• 12:31 THIS IS A CHRISTIAN ARAB PASTOR OPENLY SAYING
• 12:35 THAT THIS OTHER RELIGION THAT HAS COME IN TO USURP AND TO TAKE THE PLACE
• 12:40 HAS DRAWN THE ARAB PEOPLES AWAY FROM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND IT'S TRAGIC.
• 12:45 BUT THERE IS A WAY BACK.
• 12:46 AND THE WAY BACK IS THROUGH YESHUA.
• 12:49 ISHMAEL IS GOING TO LIVE IN MECCA.
• 12:51 MECCA IS GOING TO BECOME A HOLY PLACE TO THE SONS OF ISHMAEL AND TO THE RELIGION OF ISLAM
• 12:56 AND IN FACT, JERUSALEM IS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE KORAN.
• 12:59 IT'S MENTIONED OVER 700 TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
• 13:02 THIS IS THE DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS
• 13:04 AND IT IS THE PLACE THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THE CHRISTIANS LOOK TO FOR THE RETURN OF THE LORD.
• 13:09 IN FACT IT'S GOING TO BE ON THIS MOUNTAIN THAT YESHUA IS GOING TO RETURN TO
• 13:13 AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
• 13:15 SO LET'S GO BACK TO OUR SHOW
• 13:18 AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE FROM HERE.
• 13:20 WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
• 14:02 ISRAEL...THE LAND OF GOD'S COVENANT PROMISES.
• 14:07 IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LAND.
• 14:08 IT IS BLOOMING IN THIS DAY.
• 14:11 WE WOULD LOVE TO HOST YOU ON A TOUR.
• 14:13 COME AND SEE THE GALILEE.
• 14:15 COME AND SEE JERUSALEM.
• 14:17 COME AND WALK WHERE JESUS WALKED.
• 14:19 THE BIBLE WILL COME ALIVE.
• 14:21 IT'S TRUE.
• 14:22 YOU KNOW CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH US AT LEVITT.COM
• 14:24 OR 1-800-WONDERS
• 14:25 AND COME WITH US.
• 14:27 WE'VE HEARD PASTORS TELL US THAT "OH MY GOSH, WHY WASN'T THIS 35 YEARS AGO IN SEMINARY?"
• 14:32 THEY COME AND THEY REALIZE HOW MUCH THE BIBLE COMES ALIVE.
• 14:35 WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU STAY UP-TO-DATE WITH US HERE AT THE MINISTRY
• 14:39 BY RECEIVING OUR FREE NEWSLETTER.
• 14:41 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE ON OUR MAILING LIST
• 14:43 BUT PLEASE GET ON IT AND RECEIVE THE LEVITT LETTER.
• 14:45 IT'S A WONDERFUL NEWS MAGAZINE
• 14:47 AND BRINGS YOU UP-TO-DATE REGARDING WHAT'S HAPPENING IN ISRAEL
• 14:49 AND ALSO WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE AT THE MINISTRY.
• 14:51 ALSO, OUR RESOURCE THIS WEEK IS "ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO THE LAND".
• 14:55 I LOVE THIS LITTLE BOOKLET.
• 14:57 IT REALLY GOES METHODICALLY THROUGH THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS
• 15:00 WHY THE LINE OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB...
• 15:03 JACOB WHO IS ISRAEL...
• 15:05 HAVE A RIGHT TO BE IN THAT PLACE.
• 15:07 YES, GOD PROMISED THE LAND TO ABRAHAM
• 15:10 AND HIS COVENANT WAS ESTABLISHED THROUGH ISAAC AND THEN JACOB.
• 15:13 YOU KNOW WHEN REBEKAH WAS PREGNANT SHE WAS SO CURIOUS...
• 15:16 WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE MY WOMB?
• 15:18 THERE WAS THIS WRESTLING.
• 15:20 THERE WERE THESE TWO TWINS.
• 15:21 AND SO SHE INQUIRED BEFORE THE LORD IT SAYS IN GENESIS 25.
• 15:25 AND THE LORD TOLD HER, YOU HAVE TWO NATIONS INSIDE OF YOUR WOMB
• 15:29 AND THE OLDER SHALL SERVE THE YOUNGER.
• 15:33 SO THIS SETS UP...
• 15:34 GOD ALREADY KNEW BEFORE MAN DID ANYTHING,
• 15:38 HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN
• 15:40 AND HE KNEW THAT ESAU WAS NOT GOING TO VALUE HIS BIRTHRIGHT BUT ACTUALLY SELL IT.
• 15:46 YES, HE DESPISED HIS BIRTHRIGHT.
• 15:48 AND SO LET'S PICK UP OUR DRAMA RIGHT HERE, THE BIBLICAL STORY
• 15:52 WHERE WE SEE THE DESPISING OF THE BIRTHRIGHT
• 15:55 AND HOW MAN'S WILL IS INTERTWINED WITH GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY
• 15:59 AND GOD FULFILLS HIS SOVEREIGN WILL IN ISRAEL.
• 16:06 AND THE SONS OF ISAAC GREW.
• 16:08 ESAU BECAME A CUNNING HUNTER, A MAN OF THE FIELD...
• 16:14 WHILE JACOB WAS A QUIET MAN DWELLING IN TENTS.
• 16:19 ONE DAY ESAU CAME FROM THE FIELD AND WAS WEAK FROM HUNGER.
• 17:08 I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL BUT IT NEEDS TO BE STATED,
• 17:12 THE GOD OF ISLAM IS NOT THE SAME AS THE GOD OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY.
• 17:17 IN FACT, MOHAMMED CHOSE ONE OF THE 360 PAGAN GODS IN THE DESERT, ALLAH,
• 17:23 AND MADE HIM THE CENTER OF HIS RELIGION.
• 17:25 AND HIS OWN PROCLIVITIES, HIS OWN ISSUES, HIS OWN PROBLEMS
• 17:29 HAVE BEEN REPRODUCED GENERATION AFTER GENERATION
• 17:31 SO MUCH SO THAT WE'RE SEEING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD TODAY BASED ON THE TENETS OF ISLAM.
• 17:39 I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT BUT THERE IS DELIVERANCE,
• 17:41 THERE IS HOPE BECAUSE OF YESHUA.
• 17:43 HOW DO I KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT THE SAME GOD?
• 17:46 LET ME BUMP IT UP TO A DIFFERENT AUTHORITY,
• 17:49 ERGUN CANER, WHO'S BEEN ON OUR PROGRAM,
• 17:51 AN ARAB SCHOLAR, A BELIEVER IN YESHUA, FORMER MUSLIM;
• 17:54 HE SAYS THAT IN 51 DEBATES WITH MUSLIMS
• 17:58 NOT ONE OF THEM HAS EVER CLAIMED THAT THESE ARE THE SAME GOD
• 18:03 OR THAT THE KORAN AND THE BIBLE ARE THE SAME KIND OF A BOOK.
• 18:06 THEY DON'T CLAIM IT THEMSELVES PRIVATELY.
• 18:07 NOW FOR POLITICAL REASONS WE HEAR ABOUT A RELIGION OF PEACE
• 18:12 AND WE HEAR ABOUT THE MODERATE MIDDLE.
• 18:14 I'M WAITING FOR THE MODERATE MIDDLE TO STAND UP
• 18:17 AND STAND AGAINST THE TERROR,
• 18:19 STAND AGAINST THE IRRATIONAL AND TERRORISTIC PARTS OF ISLAM.
• 18:23 I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
• 18:26 I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL DAY WHEN THE MODERATE MIDDLE OF ISLAM STANDS UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT.
• 18:30 BUT THIS ALL COMES BACK TO THE DESPISING OF THE BIRTHRIGHT.
• 18:34 DID JACOB STEAL THE BIRTHRIGHT?
• 18:37 YES AND NO.
• 18:38 GOD PROPHESIED THAT HE WOULD BE THE ONE THAT THROUGH WHOM THE LINE OF FAITH WOULD COME
• 18:44 AND JACOB IN HIS PERSONALITY
• 18:46 EVEN THOUGH HE HAD ALL THESE PROBLEMS
• 18:48 HE WAS ONE WHO REALLY WENT AFTER THE THINGS OF GOD.
• 18:51 HE NEVER GAVE UP AND WE'LL SEE THAT LATER IN THE STORY.
• 18:54 HE WOULD WRESTLE WITH GOD FOR THAT WHICH WAS HIS,
• 18:57 OR WHAT HE BELIEVED WAS HIS.
• 18:59 SO IN A SENSE IT'S THE INTERPLAY AGAIN OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
• 19:02 AND THE WILL OF MAN BECAUSE ESAU DESPISED HIS BIRTHRIGHT.
• 19:07 IN FACT IT SAYS
• 19:09 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 19:11 AND ESAU DESPISED HIS BIRTHRIGHT.
• 19:14 THAT'S RE-STATED IN HEBREWS 12:18
• 19:17 WHERE HE'S SPOKEN OF AS A PROFANE MAN;
• 19:20 PROFANE IN THE SENSE MEANING "WORLDLY",
• 19:22 ONE WHO TURNED AWAY FROM THE THINGS OF GOD
• 19:25 AND THE PROMISE OF GOD
• 19:26 AND TURNED TO THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD, AN INSTANT GRATIFICATION.
• 19:30 THAT'S THE WHOLE THING ABOUT THE MESS OF POTTAGE.
• 19:32 GOD HELP US THAT WE WOULD NEVER GIVE UP THE CALL THAT'S UPON US
• 19:36 AND THE DESTINY THAT GOD HAS FOR US,
• 19:38 FOR SOME TRIVIAL THING IN THIS WORLD.
• 19:41 WE HAVE A MUCH GREATER CALLING...
• 19:42 YOU DO AND I DO
• 19:44 AND WE NEED TO FOLLOW THAT OUT
• 19:45 AND THAT'S WHAT JACOB WAS DOING.
• 19:47 HE WAS REACHING FOR THAT.
• 19:48 THERE'S SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN THESE TWO PATHWAYS.
• 19:52 THE KORAN IS DIVIDED INTO "SURAHS",
• 19:55 WHAT WE WOULD CALL VERSES OR CHAPTERS
• 19:57 AND THE SURAH 1:12 SPEAKS ABOUT ALLAH AS BEING THE BEING WHO DOES NOT BEGET.
• 20:03 HE DOES NOT HAVE A SON.
• 20:05 IN FACT, ON THE DOME OF THE ROCK BEHIND ME IT SAYS ON THE OUTSIDE
• 20:10 "THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND HE HAS NO SON".
• 20:13 WELL WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A FATHER, A SON AND A HOLY SPIRIT.
• 20:18 THAT'S THE TRUTH OF THE GODHEAD.
• 20:21 AND SO THAT SURAH IS A COMPLETE CONTRADICTION TO WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES US ABOUT WHO YESHUA IS.
• 20:28 IT ALSO SAYS THAT JESUS WASN'T CRUCIFIED
• 20:30 AND THAT ISHMAEL WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE MOUNTAIN NOT ISAAC BY ABRAHAM.
• 20:34 THERE IS SOME REAL CONTRADICTIONS BETWEEN THE KORAN AND THE BIBLE
• 20:39 AND TRUTHFULLY THE ONLY BOOK ON THE PLANET THAT HAS A PROPHETIC EDGE
• 20:44 WHERE GOD SAYS SOMETHING AND THEN HE FULFILLS IT
• 20:47 AND IT'S OUR JOB TO BELIEVE IT...IS THE BIBLE.
• 20:51 IT'S THE ONLY BOOK LIKE IT.
• 20:52 IT'S THE ONLY SUPERNATURAL BOOK ON PLANET EARTH.
• 20:57 THE TRUTH ON TOP OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT...
• 21:00 I LOVED YOUR TEACHING MYLES.
• 21:02 THANK YOU
• 21:03 YES, IT WAS REALLY CLEAR.
• 21:05 YOU KNOW GOD'S WORD IS THE PROPHETIC BOOK THAT TELLS US THE END FROM THE BEGINNING.
• 21:08 I'VE HEARD YOU SAY MANY TIMES "GOD SAYS IT, THEN HE DOES IT AND IT'S OUR JOB TO BELIEVE IT".
• 21:13 THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS.
• 21:15 AND REALLY THIS WHOLE CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE STEALING OF THE BIRTHRIGHT...
• 21:18 YOU KNOW AS A JEWISH PERSON IT GETS UNDER MY SKIN
• 21:21 BUT...YOU TOO.
• 21:22 WELL EXACTLY.
• 21:25 ESAU JUST DIDN'T VALUE THE BIRTHRIGHT AND HE WAS JUST VALUING THAT HE WANTED TO EAT RIGHT AWAY.
• 21:30 YOU KNOW MAYBE THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME SCHEMING THERE ON JACOB'S PART
• 21:34 BUT AT THE SAME TIME THERE'S A WARNING IN HEBREWS THAT WE CANNOT BE LIKE ESAU.
• 21:39 PLEASE DON'T BE LIKE ESAU AND NOT VALUING, NOT ESTEEMING YOUR BIRTHRIGHT
• 21:44 BUT PUTTING THE VALUE IN WHAT GOD HAS FOR US AS HIS CHILDREN.
• 21:49 EXACTLY SO AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TODAY THE WAY THE NEWS IS COLORING THINGS
• 21:54 AND THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE SEEING WITH THE NEWS MEDIA TODAY,
• 21:57 THE DESPISING OF THE BIRTHRIGHT, WE SEE IT BEING PLAYED OUT AND THE DE-LEGITIMIZING OF ISRAEL
• 22:03 AND THE DEMONIZATION OF THE JEWISH
• 22:07 AND THE DIS-INFORMATION THAT'S COMING THROUGH THE NEWS MEDIA
• 22:10 TO TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENT STORY OUT OF WHAT IS BIBLICAL HISTORY,
• 22:15 ARCHAEOLOGICAL HISTORY, SCIENTIFIC FACT
• 22:18 AND IT'S COMING VERY STRONG AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE STAY CLOSE TO THE BOOK.
• 22:23 AND ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS WE GET TO DO AS A MINISTRY
• 22:26 IS TO SUPPORT THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL WORK THAT'S GOING ON IN ISRAEL.
• 22:30 THROUGH OUR BENEVOLENCE FUNDS WE'RE ABLE TO STAND WITH ARCHAEOLOGISTS
• 22:33 AS THEY UNEARTH THESE INCREDIBLE ARTIFACTS
• 22:36 THAT REALLY PROVE SCIENTIFICALLY WHAT'S ALREADY HERE IN THE PROPHETIC WORD.
• 22:41 LET'S GO TO THE INTERVIEW WITH MARK LEVITT AND SAR-EL OFEK AT THE CITY OF DAVID
• 22:46 WHERE GOD IS UNEARTHING TREASURES TO VERIFY HIS OWN WORD.
• 22:53 SPEAKING OF URBAN LEGENDS AND GROUND ZERO
• 22:56 WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO DOUBTING THOMASES
• 22:59 WHO DESPITE THIS ARCHAEOLOGY, THIS EVIDENCE, SUPPOSE THAT THE BIBLE ISN'T AUTHENTIC?
• 23:10 I STUDY THE BIBLE.
• 23:14 IF WE ASK OURSELVES ABOUT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE BIBLE WE HAVE TO KNOW SEVERAL THINGS.
• 23:24 FIRST OF ALL, YES THE BIBLE WAS PROBABLY WRITTEN BY ALL KIND OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE ALONG THE HUMAN HISTORY
• 23:33 YET IT STILL BRINGS US SOME AMAZING TRUTH ABOUT WHO WE ARE THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER.
• 23:41 SO WHEN WE SPEAK ABOUT JEREMIAH,
• 23:43 WHEN WE TRY TO UNDERSTAND JERUSALEM,
• 23:45 WHEN WE SEE WITH OUR OWN EYES,
• 23:48 IF WE DOUBT THESE FACTS WE MUST DOUBT WHO WE ARE IN GENERAL.
• 23:55 WE MUST ASK OURSELVES, IF WE DOUBT THAT THEN WHAT DO WE HAVE FOR CERTAIN?
• 24:01 FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO SEE FACTS AND DISMISS THEM AS LIES
• 24:08 I CAN SAY WHAT GALILEO SAID, THERE'S NOT A BIGGER HATRED
• 24:15 THEN THE HATRED OF THE IGNORANCE THROUGH THE WISDOM.
• 24:20 WHAT COULD WE DO TO MAKE THINGS EVEN BETTER HERE?
• 24:22 FIRST OF ALL WE NEED TO EXCAVATE MORE IN ORDER TO FIND MORE
• 24:27 BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER EVENTUALLY
• 24:29 AND BY SEEING, BY KNOWING, BY UNDERSTANDING
• 24:32 WE CAN TELL BETTER THE STORY OF THIS PLACE
• 24:36 AND TO UNDERSTAND BETTER THE IDENTITY OF WHO WE ARE EVEN IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
• 24:42 SO WE NEED TO EXCAVATE MORE.
• 24:45 WE NEED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS PLACE
• 24:52 AND NOT TO BE AFRAID TO COME AND SEE.
• 24:57 SO FAR WE HAVE EXCAVATED ONLY SMALL PARTS OF THIS HUGE SITE
• 25:04 AND IT WILL TAKE YEARS AND YEARS
• 25:07 AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE
• 25:11 AND YOU CANNOT JUST DIG UNDERNEATH THEIR HOUSES
• 25:16 SO EVERYTHING HAS TO BE ACCORDING TO THE LAW
• 25:19 AND THE RIGHT TIME,
• 25:22 THE RIGHT PLACE...
• 25:24 IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME.
• 25:28 EVERY TIME WE GO BACK TO ISRAEL THERE IS MORE UNEARTHING THAT'S TAKING PLACE.
• 25:32 IN FACT, I THINK SINCE WE WERE THERE IN THE FALL
• 25:34 THERE'S BEEN A DISCOVERY OF A FIRST CENTURY MESSIANIC SYNAGOGUE
• 25:37 AND YOU CAN WORK WHAT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE GALILEE DURING YESHUA'S TIME.
• 25:42 THEY'RE STARTING TO SEE THE UNEARTHING OF THAT PARTICULAR SYNAGOGUE.
• 25:45 IT'S PHENOMENAL.
• 25:46 YOU KNOW WE'RE REALLY SEEING IN THIS SECTION OF THE STORY
• 25:49 THE OUTPLAYING OF THAT VERSE THAT SAYS IN THE HEBREW
• 25:52 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 25:58 "THERE ARE TWO NATIONS WRESTLING IN YOUR WOMB".
• 26:02 AND THE WRESTLING IS GOING TO CONTINUE AS WE SEE THE DAY OF THE LORD APPROACHING.
• 26:07 IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
• 26:09 IN FACT, PROPHETICALLY IN THE BOOK OF OBADIAH IN VERSE 21
• 26:13 GOD TELLS US THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN EDOM, WHO IS ESAU, AND ISRAEL, JACOB,
• 26:20 UNTIL THE VICTORY COMES TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OVER THE CHILDREN OF EDOM.
• 26:26 THAT VICTORY WILL HAPPEN.
• 26:27 IT'S IN THE SCRIPTURE AND IT IS SHAPING UP NOW IN THE DAY IN WHICH WE LIVE
• 26:31 AND IT'S OUR JOB TO STAND WITH ISRAEL, WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 26:35 AND WITH THE LORD HIMSELF AS HE STANDS FOR ISRAEL.
• 26:38 HE IS THE ONE WHO NEVER SLEEPS NOR SLUMBERS.
• 26:41 HE'S WATCHING OVER ISRAEL.
• 26:43 WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF STANDING WITH HIM AS HE DOES.
• 26:46 SO...TILL WE SEE YOU AGAIN
• 26:48 AS ALWAYS WE WANT TO REMIND YOU PLEASE,
• 26:51 SHAL'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:53 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
