Caption transcript for “Looking Ahead into 2014”

00:15 BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED,
00:22 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK
00:26 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
00:42 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
00:43 I'M MYLES WEISS
00:45 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS.
00:46 AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO BE HERE IN JERUSALEM
00:48 BRINGING YOU SOME UPCOMING SHOWS FOR THE COMING YEAR.
00:51 YOU KNOW WE ARE GRATEFUL TO BRING YOU THESE MESSAGES FROM THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
00:55 YEAH, WE TOOK OUR TOUR AND WE TOOK YOU WITH US ON THIS LAST YEAR
00:59 AND WE WENT FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH
01:02 FROM DAN TO BEERSHEVA
01:04 AND YOU WILL JUST REJOICE TO HEAR WHAT OUR PILGRIMS HAD TO SAY.
01:08 YEAH, WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T COME WITH US...
01:10 MANY OF YOU CANNOT COME
01:12 AND SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO BRING THE TOUR TO YOU
01:15 SO YOU COULD SEE WHAT'S UPCOMING FOR THE MILLENNIUM
01:17 BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT YESHUA IS RETURNING TO A JEWISH JERUSALEM
01:21 WHERE HE IS GOING TO RULE AND REIGN FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
01:24 WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS.
01:26 WITHOUT YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS WE CANNOT DO THIS WORK.
01:28 YOU KNOW SO MANY TIMES IN THE LIBERAL MEDIA ISRAEL'S MALIGNED
01:33 AND I KNOW THAT IT'S YOU OUR VIEWERS
01:35 THAT KNOW GOD'S VIEW AND GOD'S PLAN FOR ISRAEL
01:39 AND IT'S OUR JOB TO BE WATCHMEN ON THE WALL AND TO STAND
01:42 SO THANK YOU FOR ANY GIFTS SMALL OR LARGE.
01:44 IT REALLY GOES A LONG WAY FOR US
01:46 TO CONTINUE TO BRING YOU THESE ISRAEL NOW MESSAGES.
01:49 SO COME WITH US NOW AS WE SHOW YOU SOME CLIPS
01:52 FROM AN UPCOMING SERIES "THE JOURNEY OF RESTORATION"
01:55 AND WE TAKE YOU THROUGH THE LAND OF ISRAEL WITH US.
02:03 I LOVE ISRAEL, I LOVE THE PEOPLE...
02:06 TOTALLY SO...IT'S INDESCRIBABLE.
02:09 IT FEELS LIKE HOME... IT JUST FEELS LIKE HOME.
02:12 WELCOME TO JERUSALEM... IT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
02:15 IT JUST SHOWS THE FINGER PRINT OF GOD EVERYWHERE.
02:18 TO REALIZE HOW SPECIAL THIS CITY AND THE PEOPLE WERE TO THE LORD.
02:22 IT'S GOD'S CHOSEN LAND AND JESUS WALKED ON IT.
02:26 I THINK THERE'S A RESTORATION AS PASTOR MYLES TALKED ABOUT.
02:30 HOW GOD IS REALLY GATHERING THE JEWS.
02:35 THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WE'VE BEEN GRAFTED-IN AND NOW THIS OUR CITY ALSO.
02:54 SO ALL THE ARMIES WHO CAME AGAINST THE NATION OF ISRAEL
03:00 BACK IN... ALL THROUGHOUT HISTORY.
03:03 THEY ALWAYS CAME RIGHT THROUGH HERE, THROUGH THE VALLEY
03:06 BECAUSE IT'S A MOUNTAIN PASS,
03:08 SO AS WE SPEAK ABOUT THE FINAL WAR, THE FINAL BATTLE,
03:11 THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BRING IN TO THE LAND MIGHTY ARMIES
03:14 WOULD BE THROUGH THE VALLEY,
03:15 TO FOLLOW FROM THE NORTHEAST THE JORDAN VALLEY FIRST
03:19 AND THEN THE JEZREEL VALLEY ON YOUR WAY TO THE COASTAL PLAINS.
03:22 AND INDEED FOR CENTURIES THE VALLEY YOU ARE FACING WAS A BATTLE ZONE
03:27 AND GREAT, GREAT WARS, BATTLES TOOK PLACE RIGHT HERE
03:31 AND AGAIN ONE MORE YET TO COME THE FINAL WAR, THE FINAL BATTLE.
03:35 AS YOU LOOK ACROSS THE VALLEY
03:37 YOU WILL SEE A BIG CITY UP THERE ON THE MOUNTAINS
03:40 AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT NAZARETH, THE TOWN OF NAZARETH,
03:45 THE BIG CITY ON TOP OF THE HILLS.
03:48 WHEN CHRIST WAS BORN; WHEN YESHUA WAS BORN IN THIS COUNTRY HE WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM
03:54 BUT HE WAS BROUGHT UP IN NAZARETH THE TOWN UP THERE WHICH WAS MUCH SMALLER.
03:59 TODAY IT'S A VERY LARGE CITY
04:01 BUT BACK THEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SMALL VILLAGE WITH MAYBE 20 FAMILIES.
04:05 BUT YESHUA HAD BEEN BROUGHT-UP, UP THERE ON THE OTHER SIDE ON THE MOUNTAINS.
04:11 AND YOU CAN FIND THIS VERY SYMBOLIC, VERY POWERFUL THOUGHT.
04:15 YOU KNOW THIS SIDE OF THE VALLEY IN A WAY REPRESENTS EVIL.
04:18 WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE WORSHIP OF BAAL ON THE HIGH PLACES, MOUNT CARMEL OR HERE AT MEGIDDO
04:27 BUT AS YOU LOOK JUST THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
04:31 YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE PLACE WHERE OUR SAVIOR HAD BEEN BROUGHT-UP.
04:35 AND ONE DAY THEY ARE GOING TO MEET...GOOD AND EVIL RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VALLEY.
04:44 GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU TO ISRAEL TO JUST NOT GO ON A TOUR AND SEE THE SITES, GET SOME EXPOSURE,
04:51 BUT TO REALLY GET THE HEART OF GOD FOR WHAT HE'S DOING IN THIS LAND RIGHT NOW.
04:56 AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN JUST TEACH.
05:00 YOU CAN TEACH IT
05:02 BUT TO SEE IT, TO FEEL IT,
05:03 TO SMELL IT, TO HOLD IT,
05:05 TO CONNECT WITH US AS THE BODY.
05:09 I BELIEVE THE LORD HAS CHOSEN MYLES AND KATHARINE
05:13 TO REALLY MAKE THAT BRIDGE HAPPEN IN A VERY DEEP WAY
05:17 BECAUSE YOUR LIVES ARE SO IMPACTED BY THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD'S GIVEN
05:23 AND SO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE GONE OUT IN THE SENSE TO BE AMBASSADORS.
05:27 IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ISRAEL.
05:29 IT IS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING WHO ISRAEL IS IN GOD'S HEART AND IN GOD'S PLAN.
05:35 BUT IT'S UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A BODY RIGHT NOW.
05:39 WE HAD 500 VOLUNTEERS FROM 40 NATIONS COME AND BUILD THIS
05:44 AND THIS WAS THE FIRST FREE-STANDING MESSIANIC CONGREGATION BUILT PROBABLY IN 2000 YEARS.
05:51 AND SO FOR THAT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT
05:54 IS THAT GOD CHOSE THE VERY, VERY TOP OF MOUNT CARMEL.
05:58 I GOT OFF AT THE AIRPORT AND THEY SAID "WELCOME HOME".
06:02 I'M GOING, OH MY GOSH, I NEVER LOOKED AT IT LIKE THAT...
06:05 BUT I'M HOME.
06:12 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
06:19 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
06:26 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
06:57 AMEN >>AMEN
07:01 (Voice of Katharine Weiss) AND SO WE'RE OFF TO PLANT A FOREST.
07:09 IT STARTS WITH A SAPLING,
07:10 A SPADE AND SOME ELBOW GREASE.
07:12 AND IT'S SO REWARDING TO KNOW WE'RE INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF THE PROMISED LAND.
07:26 THEN BACK ON THE BUS AS OUR JOURNEY CONTINUES.
07:30 WE ARE HEADING TO TEL DAN
07:34 THE MOST NORTHERN CITY OF THE KINGDOM,
07:36 THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL.
07:38 (Voice of Katharine Weiss) WE'RRE APPROACHING THE FOOTHILLS OF MOUNT HERMON.
07:42 IT'S LUSH, GREEN WITH FLOWING STREAMS AND LITTLE WATER FALLS.
07:46 WE WALKED ALONG THE WINDING SCENIC PATH LEADING TO TEL DAN
07:51 WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE HEAVY WALLS
07:53 THAT DATE BACK TO THE TIME OF JEROBOAM
07:55 WHO WAS THE KING OF THE NORTHERN ISRAEL KINGDOM IN THE 10TH CENTURY B.C.
08:06 THIS IS KNOWN AS "Q4".
08:09 "Q" STANDS FOR QUMRAN;
08:10 "4"...CAVE NUMBER 4
08:12 AND REMEMBER THAT SO FAR THE SCROLLS WERE DISCOVERED IN 11 CAVES.
08:17 MOST OF THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS WERE DISCOVERED HERE IN THIS CAVE ALONE IN Q4.
08:22 SO OUT OF THE 900 SCROLLS 530 OF THEM WERE FOUND HERE
08:31 BUT NOT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION IN Q4.
08:36 THEY DISCOVERED TINY FRAGMENTS, 14,000 FRAGMENTS.
08:40 THEY KEPT LOOKING
08:43 LATER ON THEY DISCOVERED 1,000 MORE.
08:46 SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 15,000 FRAGMENTS OF SCROLLS
08:50 THAT WHEN THEY PUT THEM TOGETHER WE WILL GET 530 OUT OF THE 900.
08:56 YOU KNOW THE FIRST MAN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS WAS PROFESSOR SUKENIK
09:02 BECAUSE HE KNEW THE HISTORY WELL
09:05 AND IMMEDIATELY AS HE WAS LOOKING AT THE SCROLLS AND SAW THE HEBREW ALPHABET
09:10 SO HE IMMEDIATELY MADE THE RIGHT CONNECTION.
09:12 HE BEGAN TO SHIVER...
09:14 HE BEGAN TO SHIVER.
09:16 HE WAS THE FIRST MAN TO REALIZE WHAT IT WAS, WHAT HE WAS HOLDING.
09:19 AND THAT'S AN AMAZING STORY
09:23 BECAUSE AT THE EXACT DATE THAT THIS MAN, PROFESSOR SUKENIK WAS LOOKING AT IT,
09:29 IT WAS AN HISTORICAL DAY FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
09:32 YOU SHOULD LISTEN CAREFULLY.
09:36 THIS WAS THE NOVEMBER 29TH 1947.
09:42 I'LL REPEAT IT AGAIN...
09:43 NOVEMBER 29TH 1947.
09:46 ON THE SAME DAY, THE VERY DAY,
09:48 THE UNITED NATIONS TOOK THE DECISION TO ESTABLISH THE STATE OF ISRAEL...
09:53 KNOWN AS THE PARTITION PLAN.
09:57 REMEMBER I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT?
09:59 1947 THE UN TOOK THE DECISION 2 YEARS AFTER THE WAR, AFTER THE JEWISH HOLOCAUST,
10:07 THE UN TOOK THE DECISION TO ESTABLISH THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
10:10 SO IT WAS NOT A COINCIDENCE.
10:14 NO DOUBT IT WAS GOD'S TIMING...GOD'S TIMING.
10:19 ISRAEL IS DEFINITELY A CONTRAST YOU KNOW.
10:21 WE HAD TIBERIUS AND GREEN, PLUSH LANDS
10:23 AND QUMRAN IT JUST TURNS INSTANT DESERT
10:26 AND YET RIGHT OUTSIDE OF QUMRAN THEY HAVE HUGE DATE TREE PALMS THAT THEY'RE GROWING.
10:32 AND SO YOU KNOW IT SPEAKS OF JUST THE POWER OF GOD TO HIDE HIS WORD AND THE WORD THERE
10:39 AND THEN THE STORY THEY GAVE
10:41 WHERE ON THE SAME DAY THAT ISRAEL IS DECLARED BY THE UN AND THOSE ARE DISCOVERED
10:46 IT JUST SHOWS THE FINGERPRINT OF GOD EVERYWHERE.
10:50 HELLO, I'M WAYNE FORNIER
10:53 AND I'VE BEEN A SUPPORTER OF ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES FOR MANY YEARS.
10:57 YOU KNOW THIS MINISTRY BRINGS YOU
10:59 THE WEEKLY TELEVISION PROGRAM "ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS",
11:03 THE WEBSITE "LEVITT.COM"
11:05 AND THE "LEVITT LETTER"...
11:07 A FREE MONTHLY NEWS MAGAZINE.
11:10 HOW HAS THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF A CHURCH...
11:13 A DENOMINATION...
11:15 OR SOME ENDOWMENT PAYING THE BILLS?
11:18 THE LORD HAS SEEN FIT TO USE REGULAR PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME.
11:23 WE'RE THE ONES WHO KEEP THIS MINISTRY GOING.
11:26 YOU KNOW...ASKING FOR CONTRIBUTIONS CAN BE AWKWARD
11:30 BUT NOT ASKING CAN BE DETRIMENTAL.
11:33 ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OUR FOUNDER ZOLA LEVITT WOULD SURPRISE VIEWERS WHEN HE WOULD SAY,
11:38 "WE DON'T NEED YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS RIGHT NOW."
11:41 "GIVE TO YOUR HOME CHURCH OR TO ANOTHER MINISTRY."
11:44 "WHEN WE NEED SUPPORT WE'LL TELL YOU BUT WE'RE FINE RIGHT NOW."
11:49 SUCH A STATEMENT SOUNDED LUDICROUS
11:51 BUT IT ESTABLISHED THE FACT
11:53 THAT ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES IS NOT TRYING TO MAKE A FORTUNE OUT OF THE MINISTRY.
11:58 THE RESOURCES OF BIBLICAL MATERIALS WE OFFER
12:01 ARE THOSE THAT ARE HELPFUL TO OUR VIEWER'S SPIRITUAL WALK.
12:05 ZOLA LEVITT WENT HOME TO THE LORD SEVEN YEARS AGO
12:08 BUT MYLES AND KATHERINE WEISS CONTINUE TO SOUND THE CALL
12:12 FOR THE CHURCH TO RECOGNIZE THAT GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE
12:17 AND ISRAEL REMAINS HIS TIMEPIECE.
12:20 WHEN I HEARD THE GOSPEL FROM A MESSIANIC PERSPECTIVE IT STRENGTHENED MY FAITH IN GOD.
12:25 BUT IT WAS SOMETHING I RECOGNIZED AS BEING WORTHY OF MY FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
12:30 IF YOU SEE THIS OUTREACH AS WORTHY OF YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT
12:33 PLEASE CALL US AT 1-800-WONDERS...
12:37 VISIT US ONLINE AT LEVITT.COM...
12:40 OR WRITE TO US AT ZOLA, BOX 12268, DALLAS, TX 75225.
12:47 WE DEPEND ON YOUR FINANCIAL SUSTENANCE.
12:51 THANK YOU.
12:55 (MUSIC)
13:12 YOU KNOW IN 1948 THE TIME CLOCK OF THE AGES STARTED TICKING AGAIN
13:16 WHEN THE JEWISH PEOPLE CAME BACK TO THIS LAND AND IT WAS OFFICIALLY RENAMED ISRAEL.
13:20 IT'S AN ANCIENT STORY.
13:22 IT'S AN ANCIENT STORY BUT ISRAEL IS A MODERN CITY TODAY
13:25 AND IT'S NOT ONLY SPEAKING OF YESTERDAY'S PROPHECY
13:28 BUT IT'S SPEAKING OF TODAY'S PROPHECY.
13:30 AND IT'S OUR JOY TO BRING YOU THE STORIES OF THE BIBLE
13:33 AND OF THE WITNESSES THAT ARE WITNESSING OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS TODAY
13:37 BUT WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS
13:39 SO PLEASE REMEMBER US AT THIS TIME.
13:41 YOU KNOW WE LOVE TO BRING YOU THE STORIES FROM THE BIBLE.
13:44 WE USE ISRAELI ACTORS.
13:45 THEY'RE SPEAKING IN HEBREW WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
13:48 BUT YOU NOW WE ALSO LIKE TO TIE IT IN TO THE PRESENT DAY
13:52 TO SEE HOW THE BLESSING PROMISED TO ABRAHAM IS STILL IN EFFECT.
13:56 SO NOW LET'S GO AND LOOK AGAIN AT SOME CLIPS FROM THE UPCOMING SHOWS.
14:05 YOU'RE SITTING IN THE SYNAGOGUE.
14:08 WHEN THE ZEALOTS CAME HERE THEY REFUSED TO LIVE IN THE COMFORT SPOTS OF THE ROMANS.
14:14 THEY LIVED IN THE WALLS.
14:17 NOW I DON'T ADVOCATE ASCETICISM
14:19 AND I DON'T ADVOCATE EPICUREANISM.
14:21 WE'RE NOT GOING TO INDULGE OVERLY OR TORTURE OURSELVES
14:25 BUT IT IS NOTABLE THAT THEY WERE...IT WAS IMPORTANT TO THEM
14:28 TO NOT PARTAKE OF THE ROMAN SYSTEM IN ANY WAY.
14:32 YOU'RE ALSO SITTING IN A SYNAGOGUE WHERE WHEN THE QUMRAN SCROLLS WERE FOUND
14:37 EZEKIEL 37 WAS FOUND IN THIS BUILDING.
14:41 EZEKIEL 37 IF YOU'LL REMEMBER IS THE PASSAGE WHERE GOD PROPHESIES
14:46 THAT THE GRAVES ARE GOING TO OPEN,
14:49 THE BONES ARE GOING TO COME TOGETHER
14:51 AND THAT THERE WILL BE A RENAISSANCE OR A REBUILDING OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL.
14:56 IN FACT IT WAS A CLEAR PROPHETIC PICTURE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN NAZI GERMANY
15:01 AND THE RE-BIRTH THAT FOLLOWED SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
15:04 WELL THAT WAS FOUND RIGHT HERE.
15:06 GOD CONFIRMS HIS WORD WITH SIGNS.
15:10 HE CONFIRMS HIS WORD AND DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE'S GOING TO DO.
15:13 AND THAT'S REALLY OUR STORY ISN'T IT?
15:15 GOD SAYS IT AND THEN HE DOES IT.
15:18 OUR JOB IS TO BELIEVE IT, RIGHT.
15:20 AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
15:22 AND IN THIS SETTING IT'S REALLY A PLACE FOR US TO CONSIDER WHAT WE ARE BEING CALLED TO
15:28 AS THE CHURCH OF GOD IN THIS ERA IN THIS TIME.
15:33 YOU KNOW, ARE WE BEING CALLED TO LIVE FOR ENTERTAINMENT?
15:36 ARE WE BEING CALLED TO LIVE AS ROMANS WITHIN A CHURCH SETTING?
15:41 OR CAN WE LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE ZEALOTS
15:44 AND LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE PROPHETS THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES
15:47 AND REALLY ADD IN TO OUR HEARTS THE PICTURE THAT WE GET FROM RUTH...RUTH THE GENTLE,
15:54 RUTH THE MOABITESS,
15:56 RUTH THE ONE THAT WAS GRAFTED-IN TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL
15:59 AND BECOMES THE ANCESTOR OF KING DAVID
16:02 AND THEREBY THE ANCESTOR OF YESHUA HAMASHIACH, JESUS CHRIST, DAVID'S GREATER SON.
16:08 AND SO YOU REPRESENT RUTH.
16:11 REMEMBER HER CRY?
16:13 SHE CAME FROM THE DESERT.
16:15 THE DESERT, M'DBAR" MEANS "TO SPEAK".
16:17 WHENEVER WE'RE IN THIS QUIET PLACE
16:19 WHEN THESE ZEALOTS WERE HERE,
16:21 WHEN WE ARE TRAVELING THROUGH HERE
16:23 IT'S A TIME FOR US TO HEAR WHAT GOD IS SAYING.
16:26 "LET HIM WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR, HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH".
16:30 AND THAT'S WHAT SEASON THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
16:33 WELL WHAT DID RUTH SAY TO NAOMI HER JEWISH MOTHER-IN-LAW?
16:35 SHE SAID "DON'T LET ME GO FROM YOU...WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO,"
16:40 "WHERE YOU LIVE, YOU'RE PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE AND YOU'RE GOD MY GOD."
16:45 AND I SUBMIT TO YOU
16:47 THAT THE AWAKENING THAT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE CHURCH OF GOD TODAY AROUND THE WORLD
16:51 IS THAT SAME MESSAGE.
16:53 THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT IS GOING TO THE ISRAELITES AROUND THE WORLD...
16:57 THE HEBREWS IN THE DIASPORA AND THOSE THAT ARE LIVING HERE,
17:00 IS THAT THE HEART CRY THAT'S COMING FROM YOU AS RUTHS THE GENTILE TO NAOMIS
17:06 IS LET'S GO INTO THE HARVEST FIELD AND MEET BOAZ TOGETHER.
17:16 THE HEBREW NAME FOR GETHSEMANE IT IS "GET SHMANIM"
17:19 AND IT MEANS OLIVE PRESS, SIMPLY AS THAT.
17:22 I NOTICED THAT THERE IS IN MATTHEW 26
17:25 THERE'S THE STORY OF YESHUA IN THE GARDEN WITH HIS DISCIPLES
17:29 BUT JUST WITH THE OLIVE THERE'S THREE PRESSINGS.
17:32 YESHUA DEMONSTRATES THREE PRESSINGS ALSO.
17:35 TELL US.
17:36 EXACTLY RIGHT.
17:37 OLIVES WHEN THEY WERE COLLECTED
17:40 THEY WERE BROUGHT TO THE MILLSTONE
17:42 AND THEY WERE CRUSHED.
17:44 AND THEN CRUSHED OLIVES WERE COLLECTED IN BAGS
17:47 AND THE BAGS WERE BROUGHT TO THE OLIVE PRESS
17:50 AND THEY USED TO PRESS THE OLIVES THREE TIMES.
17:54 AND THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY PRESSED THE OLIVES
17:59 THE FINEST OIL, THE FINEST OIL CAME OUT DURING THE FIRST TIME THAT THE OLIVES WERE PRESSED
18:04 AND THAT WAS KNOWN AS THE PUREST OIL, THE VIRGIN OIL.
18:07 IT WAS USED FOR ANOINTING.
18:09 FOR ANOINTING OF KINGS
18:11 AND FOR USE IN THE TEMPLE...SACRED OIL.
18:13 SACRED OIL
18:14 OKAY, THAT'S ONE...
18:15 AND THEN AFTER A WHILE THE BAGS WERE PRESSED AGAIN
18:19 AND SO IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON THE BAGS THEY USED TO ADD ANOTHER WEIGHT.
18:25 AND THE SECOND OIL WAS USED FOR A HEALING AND FOR LIGHT.
18:31 SECOND PRESSING FOR HEALING AND FOR LIGHT...
18:34 AND THEN ANOTHER WEIGHT WAS ADDED FOR THE FINAL PRESS
18:39 AND OF COURSE AGAIN THE PRESSURE AND ALL THAT WAS LEFT WAS USED FOR MAKING SALT FOR CLEANSING.
18:45 YOU TIE THIS IN TO THE JEWISHNESS OF THE GOSPEL.
18:49 A BLESSING THAT GOES BACK TO THE TIME OF AARON
18:53 WAS WHEN GOD TOLD MOSES TO HAVE AARON STAND BEFORE THE PEOPLE AND BLESS THEM IN THIS WAY.
18:58 AND EVERY TIME THIS IS DONE FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION I WILL PUT MY NAME UPON THE PEOPLE.
19:05 SO YOU RECEIVE THIS AS FROM THE LORD AND LET'S TAKE IT FROM THIS PLACE OKAY?
19:11 (MYLES SINGING IN HEBREW)
19:39 THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU.
19:42 THE LORD CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU,
19:44 BE GRACIOUS UNTO TO YOU.
19:46 THE LORD LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON YOU
19:48 AND GRANT YOU HIS SHALOM.
19:50 B'HASHEM YESHUA HAMASHIACH.
19:53 AMEN
19:56 ♪OH THE BLOOD OF JESUS♪
20:02 ♪IT WASHES WHITE AS SNOW♪
20:10 AMEN
20:13 THE BODY AND THE BLOOD...
20:16 THERE WAS ONLY ONE BODY, SINLESS,
20:20 IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
20:23 IT WAS THE ONLY BODY THAT COULD BE BROKEN SO THAT WE COULD BE HEALED....
20:28 THE ONLY BODY THAT COULD BE BROKEN SO THAT WE COULD COME TOGETHER...
20:33 ONLY ONE BODY THAT IS ABLE TO MAKE US WHOLE AGAIN...
20:39 AND THAT'S THE BODY OF YESHUA.
20:41 AND THE PRAYERS THAT WE PRAY GO BACK TO THE TIME OF THE FIRST CENTURY.
20:46 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
20:53 "BLESSED ARE YOU LORD GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE WHO BRINGS FORTH BREAD FROM THE EARTH."
20:58 GOD WE THANK YOU FOR SENDING YOUR SON.
21:01 YESHUA WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR BODY BROKEN FOR US.
21:06 WE THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE THE BREAD OF HEAVEN THAT CAME,
21:09 WENT INTO THE EARTH, CAME UP OUT OF THE EARTH
21:12 AND PRESENTED TO THE FATHER AS A RANSOM WORTHY.
21:16 AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT SACRIFICE.
21:19 IN YESHUA'S NAME...AMEN.
21:22 LET'S TAKE THAT...
21:25 ACTUALLY WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I WENT IN THE TOMB
21:27 WAS A REVERBERATION OF WHAT JOHN WROTE IN REVELATION ABOUT WHAT JESUS SAID TO HIM...
21:33 I AM HE THAT WAS DEAD BUT I'M ALIVE FOREVERMORE.
21:37 AND IT JUST BOUNCED OFF THE WALLS IN THERE TO ME LITERALLY.
21:42 IT'S AN AMAZING PLACE.
21:46 ♪HALLELUJAH,♪
21:52 ♪(ECHO)♪
21:55 ♪HALLELUJAH,♪
22:01 ♪(ECHO)♪
22:04 ♪HALLELUJAH....♪
22:21 THIS AREA IT'S CALLED HA KODESH WHICH MEANS "THE HOLY".
22:23 ONLY THE PRIESTS WERE ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE.
22:25 WE SEE THERE'S DIFFERENT RINGS OF HOLINESS RIGHT THROUGHOUT THE COURTYARD
22:29 WHICH ONLY THE PERSON LEVI WERE ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE.
22:31 IN HERE AFTER THE SECOND CURTAIN ONLY THE PRIESTS
22:33 AND THEN AFTER THE THIRD CURTAIN IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES
22:36 IS ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST ONLY ONCE A YEAR.
22:39 THE MENORAH ON THE SOUTH SIDE WAS FROM PURE GOLD.
22:42 IT WAS ONE PIECE OF GOLD AND IT HAD 7 LAMPS.
22:46 HERE EVERY DAY THEY HAD TO PUT OLIVE OIL IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING
22:49 BECAUSE THIS WAS ALWAYS BURNING ALL THE TIME.
22:53 THE MENORAH WAS ACTUALLY THE ONLY LIGHT THEY HAD IN THIS AREA
22:56 THE CURTAIN HERE WAS CLOSED.
22:58 THIS WAS THE ONLY LIGHT THEY HAD.
23:00 JUST IN FRONT OF IT ON THE NORTH SIDE WE HAVE THE SHOWBREAD TABLE WITH THE 12 SHOWBREADS
23:06 WHICH ONE WOULD PRESENT EACH TRIBE FOR ITS HOLY BREAD.
23:09 ONLY THE PRIESTS WERE ALLOWED TO EAT FROM THIS BREAD.
23:12 BUT SOMEONE ELSE DID IT FROM THIS.WHO WAS THAT?
23:14 DAVID...EXACTLY...
23:16 KING DAVID ATE FROM THIS BUT HE WASN'T ALONE WAS HE?
23:19 NO...OH HE HAD 400 MEN WITH HIM.
23:24 NO THOSE MEN THAT WERE WITH HIM THEY WERE NOT SO GOOD PEOPLE.
23:26 THEY WERE THIEVES, ROBBERS, RIGHT?
23:28 MURDERERS...REBELS... BAD PEOPLE.
23:31 NOW WE ALL KNOW THAT GOD IS A HOLY GOD
23:33 AND GOD IS A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE
23:35 BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.
23:37 AND SO WE HAD AARON THE HIGH PRIEST...AARON HAD FOUR SONS.
23:40 TWO OF HIS SONS NADAB AND ABHIHU...OFFERED STRANGE FIRE.
23:43 WHAT HAPPENED?
23:44 GOD KILLED THEM STRAIGHT AWAY.
23:46 WHY? BECAUSE THEY TOOK SOMETHING HOLY AND DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH IT, RIGHT?
23:50 THEY DID WHATEVER THEY WANT.
23:58 HERE WE ARE IN PETRA.
24:00 IT IS THE PLACE OF SOME GREAT SPECULATION...PROPHETIC WORDS AND SPECULATION.
24:06 YOU'VE HEARD SOME HISTORY REGARDING THE FORMATION OF THIS PLACE
24:09 AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THE FUTURE HERE AS WELL.
24:13 ISAIAH 62:10-12 AND ISAIAH 63 FORM A PICTURE OF THE COMING OF MESSIAH.
24:22 THERE'S SOMETHING SPOKEN OF THERE ABOUT THE HIDING...
24:25 ABOUT THE HIDING AWAY THAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE TIME OF TRANSITION.
24:29 REMEMBER WE SPOKE ABOUT THE TIME OF JOHN THE BAPTIST, YOCHANAN, "HaMatbil", JOHN THE IMMERSOR.
24:35 THAT WAS A TIME OF TRANSITION.
24:37 WHILE THERE WAS A CORRUPT PRIESTHOOD IN THE TEMPLE,
24:40 AT THE SAME TIME JOHN WAS OUT AT THE JORDAN RIVER
24:43 BAPTIZING PEOPLE UNTO REPENTANCE AND INCLUDING BAPTIZING YESHUA.
24:48 SO IT WAS A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
24:50 WHERE THE PRIESTHOOD WAS FAILING,
24:51 A CLEAN PRIESTHOOD WAS ARISING EMBODIED BY JOHN THE BAPTIST
24:56 AND AT THE SAME A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD LEADING TO THE CRUCIFIXION OF THE LORD.
25:02 WELL SO IT IS WITH REGARDING PETRA.
25:04 THERE IS A LOT OF SPECULATION ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE MAY HOLD HERE
25:08 WHETHER THIS WILL BE IN FACT A PLACE FOR JEWISH FOLKS
25:11 TO COME AND HIDE WHEN THE ANTI-CHRIST IS ARISING.
25:15 AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE 144,000 WILL BE PREACHING
25:19 AND WILL BE BRINGING IN THE GREATEST HARVEST AT THE END OF THE AGE
25:22 ANOTHER TRANSITIONAL PERIOD INCLUDING WHAT'S SPOKEN OF
25:26 AS THE TIME OF THE ONE WHOSE GARMENT IS DIPPED IN BLOOD COMING FROM BOSRA...MESSIAH.
25:37 I MEAN WE HAD FIFTEEN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
25:39 COMING HERE TO BE IN THE LAND
25:41 JUST TO COME AND HARVEST THE GRAPES IN THE LAST YEAR.
25:45 AND SO OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF THERE'S BEEN OVER 500 PEOPLE.
25:50 THERE'S BEEN OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE COME SINCE WE STARTED COMING HERE
25:55 JUST TO WORK IN THE LAND TO TASTE THE GRAPES AND THE WINE THAT...YOU KNOW
26:02 EVEN YESHUA SAID THAT I'LL NOT DRINK THIS CUP AGAIN...
26:09 FROM MY FATHER'S VINEYARD AGAIN
26:12 UNTIL WE DRINK IT AGAIN IN THE KINGDOM...
26:15 IN MY FATHER'S KINGDOM.
26:17 SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE CALIFORNIA WINE.
26:22 YOU KNOW WHAT, IN ISAIAH 25 IT SPEAKS ABOUT THIS FEAST
26:26 THAT THIS END TIMES FEAST...
26:28 AND WHAT'S HAPPENING WE'RE PREPARING FOR A HUGE FEAST.
26:33 THE BEAUTIFUL THING IS IS THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR IT TOO.
26:41 WHEN WE SEE WHAT TOMMY WALLER IS DOING UP IN SAMARIA
26:44 STANDING WITH THE ORTHODOX JEWS
26:47 AND TOGETHER JEWS AND CHRISTIANS PLANTING THE VINEYARDS,
26:50 HARVESTING THE GRAPES,
26:51 MAKING THE WINE JUST AS THE PROPHETS HAVE FORETOLD.
26:54 WE KNOW THAT MESSIAH IS COMING SOON.
26:56 ABSOLUTELY, WE ARE IN THE TIME
26:57 OF THE FULFILLMENT OF SCRIPTURES.
26:59 EZEKIEL 36 AND ISAIAH 49...
27:02 THEY'RE ALL COMING ALIVE BEFORE OUR EYES
27:05 AND IT'S OUR JOY TO BRING YOU THESE PROGRAMS.
27:07 AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS
27:09 THAT ALLOW US TO BRING YOU THESE PROGRAMS.
27:11 YOU KNOW IT TAKES QUITE A BIT OF MONEY TO FLY US OVER HERE
27:14 AND FOR US TO GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH PEOPLE
27:17 THAT ARE WORKING HERE IN THE LAND
27:19 BUT IT'S OUR PRIVILEGE TO DO IT.
27:21 LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE SET OUR FACE LIKE A FLINT
27:24 TO FULFILL THE CALL OF GOD THAT'S ON OUR LIFE AND ON YOUR LIFE
27:28 AND THAT IS TO STAND WITH THE PEOPLE OF THIS LAND.
27:31 YEAH IT'S SO GREAT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER WITH YOU.
27:34 WITH YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS AND WITH OUR LABOR,
27:36 TOGETHER WE ARE ABLE TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE LIES IN THE MEDIA,
27:39 PUSH BACK AGAINST THE LIES AGAINST THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AGAINST ISRAEL
27:43 AND TO MAKE A STATEMENT TOGETHER THAT THIS IS A GOD THING,
27:46 THAT GOD RE-ESTABLISHED THE STATE IN 1948
27:49 AND HE'S CONTINUING TO DO WONDERFUL THINGS HERE.
27:52 SO WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US.
27:54 WE ALWAYS WANT TO REMIND YOU,
27:56 SHAL'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
27:58 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
