Caption transcript for Journey of Restoration: “Yeshua’s Galilee Ministry” (2/10)

• 00:06 I LOVE ISRAEL,
• 00:07 I LOVE THE PEOPLE.
• 00:09 IT'S TOTALLY SO...
• 00:10 IT'S INDESCRIBABLE.
• 00:11 IT FEELS LIKE HOME...
• 00:13 IT JUST FEELS LIKE HOME.
• 00:15 WELCOME TO JERUSALEM...IT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
• 00:18 IT JUST SHOWS THE FINGER PRINT OF GOD EVERYWHERE.
• 00:20 TO REALIZE HOW SPECIAL THIS CITY AND THE PEOPLE WERE TO THE LORD...
• 00:25 IT'S GOD'S CHOSEN LAND AND JESUS WALKED ON IT.
• 00:29 I THINK THERE'S A RESTORATION AS PASTOR MYLES TALKED ABOUT.
• 00:32 HOW GOD IS REALLY GATHERING THE JEWS.
• 00:38 THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WE'VE BEEN GRAFTED-IN AND NOW THIS IS OUR CITY ALSO.
• 00:54 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
• 00:55 I'M MYLES WEISS
• 00:57 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS.
• 00:58 AND WE ARE CONTINUING OUR JOURNEY OF RESTORATION,
• 01:00 A DREAM COME TRUE, WE BRING ISRAEL TO YOU.
• 01:03 I LOVE THAT MYLES.
• 01:04 IT'S REALLY BEEN OUR HEART TO BRING ISRAEL TO YOU.
• 01:07 YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO SEE TODAY IN THIS PROGRAM THE GALILEE.
• 01:11 ISRAELIES CALL IT THE KINNERET, "THE LAKE OF THE HARP"
• 01:16 BECAUSE IT'S SHAPED...
• 01:18 THE WORD ITSELF MEANS HARP BECAUSE IT'S SHAPED LIKE A HARP.
• 01:21 SO WE'RE GOING TO JOURNEY AND TAKE YOU TO THE GALILEE TODAY IN THIS PROGRAM.
• 01:24 YES AND THE GALILEE IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF FRESH WATER FOR THE ENTIRE NATION.
• 01:29 SO WHEN WE READ IN ISAIAH 35 THAT THE DESERT SHALL BLOOM LIKE A ROSE THIS IS THE HOW OF THAT.
• 01:34 OF COURSE THE RAINFALL COMES BUT THE HOLDING TANK OF THE FRESH WATER IS THE GALILEE
• 01:39 AND SO MANY OF JESUS' MIRACLES, SO MUCH OF THE GOSPEL TOOK PLACE THERE.
• 01:43 AND SO THIS JOURNEY OF RESTORATION
• 01:45 IS GOING TO TAKE YOU THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE LAND IN THIS ENTIRE SERIES
• 01:48 BUT TODAY LET'S GO TO THE GALILEE.
• 01:52 (Myles speaking) WE START OUR DAY WITH A VISIT TO KIBBUTZ GINOSAR
• 01:56 JUST NORTH OF THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 01:59 IT'S HERE THAT AN ANCIENT WOODEN BOAT IS ON DISPLAY REFERRED TO AS "THE JESUS BOAT".
• 02:03 IT WAS PULLED FROM THE SEA IN 1986 AND IT'S BEEN POSITIVELY DATED TO THE 1ST CENTURY.
• 02:09 THE BOAT IS THE TYPE THAT JESUS WOULD HAVE USED IN HIS MINISTRY WHILE IN THE GALILEE AREA.
• 02:14 A SHORT WALK ALONG THE SHORE TAKES US TO ANOTHER BOAT.
• 02:18 THIS ONE IS SIMILAR IN FEELING TO THE JESUS BOAT
• 02:20 BUT MUCH LARGER AND COMFORTABLY EQUIPPED TO ACCOMMODATE OUR TOUR GROUP FOR PRAISE AND WORSHIP.
• 02:26 OUR TOUR GUIDE, YUVAL SHEMSH, STARTS BY PROVIDING US WITH THE BACKGROUND
• 02:30 TO THE INCREDIBLE BIBLICAL PANORAMA THAT SURROUNDS US ON THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 02:38 NORTHERN SHORE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE MOUNT OF THE BEATITUDES RIGHT THERE.
• 02:44 IF YOU GO FROM THE BOAT UP TO THE HILL
• 02:47 AND YOU SEE A GROUP OF TREES AND THERE IS A STRUCTURE IN BETWEEN THE TREES.
• 02:51 IT'S A CHAPEL.
• 02:52 IT'S A CHURCH.
• 02:54 THIS IS THE MOUNT OF THE BEATITUDES.
• 02:56 WE'RE QUITE CONFIDENT ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAR AWAY FROM CAPERNAUM
• 03:00 AND IT IS THE MAIN MOUNTAIN THERE IN BETWEEN CAPERNAUM AND TABGHA.
• 03:05 SO WE BELIEVE THAT WHENEVER IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE THAT JESUS WENT UP TO THE MOUNTAIN
• 03:10 IT REFERS TO THE MOUNTAIN RIGHT THERE.
• 03:14 (Myles speaking) IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
• 03:16 YOU THINK ABOUT THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH COMES TO EARTH AS A MAN
• 03:20 AND DOES MOST OF HIS WORK IN THIS TINY LITTLE AREA OF THE WORLD.
• 03:23 AND YOUR BEING HERE MEANS THAT YOU ARE KNITTING YOURSELVES INTO THE STORY
• 03:28 BECAUSE THE STORY DIDN'T END 2,000 YEARS AGO;
• 03:31 IT ACTUALLY DIDN'T BEGIN 2,000 YEARS AGO
• 03:33 BECAUSE YOU'RE GRAFTED INTO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL
• 03:36 BY COMING HERE AND BEING PART OF ISRAEL'S STORY
• 03:39 YOU ARE HAVING A 4,000 YEAR OLD HISTORY GOING BACK TO THE TIME OF ABRAHAM
• 03:44 WHICH MEANS THAT YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A DOUBLE PORTION ANOINTING
• 03:48 AND A DOUBLE PORTION OF BLESSING AS YOU ARE GRAFTED-IN TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL.
• 03:54 IN A FEW MINUTES YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ONE OF THE GREATEST TESTIMONIES
• 03:56 OF DANIEL'S COMING TO THE LORD HERE ON THIS WORSHIP BOAT
• 03:59 AND HOW GOD IS USING HIM HERE ON THE GALILEE
• 04:02 BUT THERE'S SO MANY STORIES HERE ABOUT WHAT JESUS DID;
• 04:06 WHAT YESHUA DID HERE.
• 04:07 THERE ARE TOO MANY TO TELL.
• 04:09 IT SAYS IN THE SCRIPTURE THAT IF WE TRIED TO TELL OF...
• 04:12 ALL THE BOOKS IN THE WORLD COULDN'T CONTAIN
• 04:15 THAT WHICH YESHUA DID AND WHAT HE TAUGHT HERE.
• 04:18 THE REALITY IS THAT IN JOHN CHAPTER 6
• 04:21 WHEN HE CAME WALKING ON THE WINDS AND THE WAVES...
• 04:25 THERE'S A LOT OF SUPERSTITION AMONG THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 04:27 I CAN TELL YOU I WAS RAISED WITH A JEWISH MOTHER AND A JEWISH GRANDMOTHER
• 04:31 AND WE ARE GIVEN TO SUPERSTITION.
• 04:33 WELL BACK IN THE DAY THAT WAS ALSO THE CASE
• 04:35 AND SUPERSTITION AROUND THE LAKE HAD TO DO WITH THE god's OF THE AREA...LITTLE "g" gods
• 04:40 THAT THEY BELIEVED LIVED BELOW THE WATER
• 04:42 AND THE IDEA THAT IF YOU SAW A GHOST IN THE NIGHTTIME THAT IT WAS YOUR TIME TO DIE.
• 04:47 SO HERE COMES YESHUA WALKING IN THE WIND AND THE WAVES ACROSS THE WATER
• 04:52 AND THEY FEAR THEY'RE GOING TO DIE.
• 04:55 BUT WHAT WAS HE DOING?
• 04:56 THIS IS A LESSON FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 04:59 HE WAS ESTABLISHING THAT HE HAS COMPLETE AUTHORITY
• 05:02 OVER EVERY DEMONIC FORCE AND EVERY HUMAN FORCE
• 05:05 AND ANY OTHER THING THAT EXULTS ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.
• 05:09 HE WAS WALKING ABOVE ANY AUTHORITY THAT HELD ITSELF UP
• 05:14 AND HE WAS DEMONSTRATING WHO HE IS IN HIS MIRACULOUS WAY OF BEING HERE IN THIS AREA.
• 05:20 AND THEN IF WE FAST FORWARD TO JOHN 21
• 05:22 WHEN PETER IS BEING RESTORED AND WHEN THAT WHOLE PASSAGE IS COMING TO PASS
• 05:27 WHERE THIS WONDERFUL BEACH WALK HAPPENS AT TABGHA
• 05:30 AND ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT JESUS DID AFTER RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION
• 05:36 THERE WAS THAT MOMENT WHERE HE SAID TO THEM...
• 05:39 THAT HAD BEEN FISHING ALL NIGHT LONG...
• 05:42 CAST YOUR NETS TO THE OTHER SIDE.
• 05:44 AND WHEN THEY DID THEY BROUGHT UP 153 FISH.WHY?
• 05:51 WHY 153 FISH?
• 05:54 BECAUSE EVERY HEBREW LETTER HAS A NUMERICAL VALUE;
• 05:57 EVERY HEBREW NUMBER HAS A LETTER VALUE
• 05:59 AND 153 SAYS "ANI ELOHIM"...
• 06:03 "I AM GOD".
• 06:05 AND SO YESHUA IN THIS AREA CONSISTENTLY CONFIRMED FOR WHOEVER HAD EARS TO HEAR
• 06:11 THAT HE IS THE ONE THAT CAN TRANSLATE PEOPLE
• 06:14 FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS TO THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT.
• 06:16 WHEN THEY SAID...IMMEDIATELY THEY WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
• 06:19 IT'S A PICTURE FOR US OF THE TRANSLATION FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT
• 06:23 THAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE'RE BORN OF HIS SPIRIT.
• 06:26 YOU HEARD A TESTIMONY ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY AT CARMEL.
• 06:28 THAT'S MY STORY AS WELL.
• 06:30 THAT'S DANIEL'S AS WELL.
• 06:31 SOME OF YOU HERE...
• 06:32 THERE WAS A MOMENT IN TIME,
• 06:34 THERE WAS A SEASON IN TIME
• 06:36 WHEN GOD CHANGED YOU FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR SON.
• 06:39 AND THAT'S THE PICTURE THAT TAKES PLACE HERE AT THE GALILEE
• 06:42 AND IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT HIS AUTHORITY,
• 06:45 HIS ABILITY TO BE THE AUTHORITY OVER WHATEVER STORM IS FACING YOU TODAY.
• 06:52 SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FACING IN YOUR LIFE...
• 06:54 IF IT'S A HEALTH CHALLENGE
• 06:55 OR A LOVED ONE THAT YOU'RE PRAYING FOR
• 06:57 OR FINANCIAL ISSUES;
• 06:58 WHATEVER IT IS HE HAS ALL AUTHORITY
• 07:01 AND TODAY HERE IN GALILEE WHEN CAN REALLY SENSE THAT HE IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS.
• 07:07 AMEN?
• 07:08 (EVERYONE) AMEN
• 07:10 HALLELUJAH
• 07:13 (Katharine speaking) DANIEL CARMEL IS A JEWISH BELIEVER
• 07:15 AND IS THE SKIPPER OF THE BOAT CALLED "FAITH".
• 07:18 HE HAS BEEN ON OUR PROGRAM BEFORE AND OUR VIEWERS HAVE LOVED HIS TESTIMONY.
• 07:23 HIS MUSIC IS ALWAYS A BLESSING.
• 07:31 (Daniel singing in Hebrew)
• 07:56 IT'S AMAZING TO THINK ABOUT BEING ON THE VERY SEA THAT JESUS WALKED ON.
• 08:04 AND I THINK OF A SONG THAT MY COUSIN SINGS...
• 08:07 "HE CAME WALKING ON THE WATER".
• 08:10 AND ONE OF THE LINES IS "HE THREW ME A LIFELINE WHEN I WAS SINKING"
• 08:14 AND I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT EARLIER WHEN WE WERE CROSSING THIS.
• 08:18 IT'S JUST AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE.
• 08:20 IT'S VERY EMOTIONAL... VERY EMOTIONAL.
• 08:22 TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP HIM ALL OF THE TIME IS MY DAILY GOAL
• 08:26 BUT TO DO THAT OUT HERE TODAY
• 08:28 JUST WAS A BLESSING BEYOND MY THOUGHT OR MY IMAGINATION BEFORE COMING.
• 08:33 IT WAS AWESOME.
• 08:34 WELL IT'S AWESOME.
• 08:35 I MEAN YOU JUST HAVE TO PINCH YOURSELF.
• 08:37 YOU'VE JUST READ ABOUT THE SEA OF GALILEE
• 08:39 EVER SINCE YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL GOING TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
• 08:41 AND HERE YOU ARE.
• 08:42 IT'S JUST AMAZING.
• 08:45 IT'S BREATHTAKING.
• 08:47 IT'S AWESOME.
• 08:49 I HATE TO USE THAT WORD BUT IT TRULY IS AWESOME.

• 09:31 (Myles speaking) NOT FAR FROM THE NORTHERN SHORE OF THE SEA OF GALILEE
• 09:35 RESTS A SMALL PICTURESQUE MOUNTAIN CALLED "THE MOUNT OF BEATITUDES".
• 09:39 OUR GROUP GATHERED ATOP THE MOUNT
• 09:41 AS YUVAL SHARED HIS INSIGHTS REGARDING THIS STRATEGIC SITE.
• 09:45 YOU'RE FACING A CHURCH WHICH WAS BUILT IN 1936 BY THE ITALIANS.
• 09:50 IT IS AN OCTAGON CHURCH BECAUSE OF THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OKAY.
• 09:55 BUT BEHIND IT, BEHIND THE WALL THERE IS A ROUND VALLEY
• 10:02 THAT LOOKS LIKE A NATURAL AMPHITHEATER
• 10:06 AND WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN JESUS CAME UP TO THE MOUNTAIN AND SAT DOWN IT WAS RIGHT HERE,
• 10:11 RIGHT BEHIND WHERE THIS NATURAL AMPHITHEATER
• 10:14 WHERE THE ACOUSTICS IT IS REAL PERFECT
• 10:17 AND IT MAKES SENSE THAT IT WAS RIGHT HERE
• 10:22 WHERE JESUS TAUGHT THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
• 10:26 WE THINK THE THAT THE TIME THAT HE SPOKE WAS SPRINGTIME
• 10:32 BECAUSE REMEMBER HE SPOKE ABOUT THE LILIES OF THE FIELD, THE BIRDS OF THE AIR,
• 10:37 SO THIS IS THE TIME, THE TIME THAT THE FLOWERS WERE BLOOMING AROUND SPRINGTIME
• 10:44 SO IT IS SPECIAL TO BE HERE AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR
• 10:47 AND TO LOOK AT THE FLOWERS,
• 10:49 TO LISTEN TO THE BIRDS
• 10:50 AND TO LISTEN OF COURSE TO HIS TEACHING.
• 10:55 (Myles speaking) YUVAL AND I OPENED OUR BIBLES TO MATTHEW 5
• 10:59 AND READ THE MESSAGE YESHUA GAVE ON THIS VERY MOUNT 2,000 YEARS AGO.
• 11:06 "AND WHEN HE SAW THE CROWDS HE WENT UP ON THE MOUNTAIN"
• 11:08 "AND AFTER HE SAT DOWN HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM."

• 13:56 WITH THIS WONDERFUL MINISTRY THAT GOD'S ALLOWED US TO BE PART OF.
• 14:00 SO WE'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
• 14:03 WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING NOW TO CAPERNAUM
• 14:05 AND WE'RE GOING TO BE HEARING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE SYNAGOGUE
• 14:08 AND THIS AREA IN WHICH JESUS DID MOST OF HIS MINISTRY IN THE GALILEE AREA.
• 14:13 SO NOW WE'LL GO TO HEAR FROM YUVAL IN CAPERNAUM.
• 14:23 THEN HIS FAME WENT THROUGHOUT ALL SYRIA...
• 14:27 SEE FOLLOWING THE WAY OF THE SEA "VIA MARIS" IS FROM HERE.
• 14:30 NORTHEAST YOU WILL GET TO SYRIA TO MESOPOTAMIA AREA.
• 14:34 AND THE GREAT MULTITUDES FOLLOWED HIM FROM GALILEE
• 14:37 AND FROM DECAPOLIS, JERUSALEM, THE JORDAN AND BEHIND THE JORDAN.
• 14:41 DECAPOLIS...GALILEE...FROM ALL THE SURROUNDING AREA.
• 14:46 SO IT WAS A VERY CENTRAL PLACE.
• 14:49 CAPERNAUM WAS LOCATED IN A VERY CENTRAL PLACE.
• 14:53 AND THE WAY I SEE IT, IT WAS ALL PART OF GOD'S PLAN.
• 14:56 YOU KNOW EARLIER BEFORE THE ROMANS THE GREEKS WERE HERE
• 14:59 AND THEY BROUGHT TO THIS PART OF THE WORLD
• 15:02 THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE AT THAT TIME...THE GREEK LANGUAGE.
• 15:05 THE ROMANS WHO CAME AFTER THEM AND TOOK THE LAND,
• 15:08 THEY BEGAN TO CONNECT ALL THE KNOWN WORLD WITH THEIR ROADS.
• 15:11 THEY BUILT MILES OF ROADS ALL OVER THE EMPIRE.
• 15:14 AND THE GOSPEL WAS CARRIED OUT,
• 15:16 THE GOOD NEWS, IN THE GREEK LANGUAGE FROM HERE ALL OVER.
• 15:31 WE'RE IN CAPERNAUM THE PLACE OF MIRACLES.
• 15:34 DID YOU HEAR WHEN YUVAL WAS SPEAKING
• 15:36 THAT THERE WAS NEVER A METHOD,
• 15:37 IT WAS ALWAYS RELATIONSHIP.
• 15:39 THERE WASN'T ONE WAY THAT JESUS DID EVERYTHING EVERY TIME.
• 15:43 IT'S ALWAYS RELATED TO RELATIONSHIP
• 15:45 AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE SEE IN OUR OWN LIVES
• 15:47 AND ESPECIALLY IN THE LIVES OF THE JEWISH BELIEVERS TODAY
• 15:50 IS THAT THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL IS THE MIRACLE OF SALVATION.
• 15:54 YOU KNOW GOD HEALS THE BODY AND IT'S WONDERFUL.
• 15:56 WE'VE SEEN EXPERIENCES;
• 15:57 WE HAD THOSE EXPERIENCES;
• 15:59 WE KNOW THAT HE STILL HEALS TODAY
• 16:01 BUT THE GREATEST MIRACLE IS THE HEALING OF THE SOUL.
• 16:03 AND A SIGN AND A WONDER RIGHT NOW IS THIS RENAISSANCE,
• 16:07 THIS RESTORATION OF THE PHYSICAL STATE OF ISRAEL
• 16:11 AND THIS INCREDIBLE STORY OF RE-BIRTH OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS BELIEVERS IN OUR OWN MESSIAH.
• 16:18 AND YOU CAN SEE THAT AS YOU'VE BEEN KNIT INTO THIS JOURNEY,
• 16:22 THIS 4,000 YEAR JOURNEY
• 16:25 THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY IS THAT MANY OF US,
• 16:28 ESPECIALLY MANY OF US THAT GREW UP AS THE WOODSTOCK GENERATION.
• 16:32 WE WERE WANDERING AND LOOKING AROUND FOR DIFFERENT THINGS
• 16:35 AND GETTING INTO ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE.
• 16:38 FOR MYSELF I GREW UP IN A KOSHER HOME,
• 16:40 WENT TO HEBREW SCHOOL 3 DAYS A WEEK
• 16:42 AND WAS BAR MITZVAHED AT AGE 13;
• 16:45 SHORTLY THEREAFTER SMOKED MY FIRST JOINT
• 16:47 AND WOKE UP 20 YEARS LATER
• 16:49 WHEN I MET A YOUNG WOMAN WHO TOLD ME THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH OF THE JEWS.
• 16:53 I THOUGHT SHE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL I EVER MET
• 16:56 BUT IT WAS THE MOST RIDICULOUS STORY I'D EVER HEARD.
• 16:59 VERY CUTE CATHOLIC...
• 17:01 I WAS A HINDU BY THEN.
• 17:03 I WAS A MEDITATING BUDDHIST-HINDU.
• 17:05 WE CALLED OURSELVES "BUJEWS"..."BUDDHIST JEWS"
• 17:07 AND THERE ARE MANY OF US THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
• 17:10 BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME
• 17:11 IS ALSO WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE MANY OF THE JEWISH BELIEVERS
• 17:13 YOU'RE MEETING IN THE LAND NOW
• 17:15 WHERE THEY HAVE THIS PIONEERING SPIRIT THAT BROUGHT THEM HERE.
• 17:19 AND JUST AS HERZL AND THE EARLY PIONEERS CAME HERE TO PIONEER THE LAND
• 17:24 WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT GOD IS RAISING UP A JEWISH REMNANT TO PIONEER THE SPIRIT.
• 17:29 AND IT'S PREPARATION FOR THE RETURN OF THE LORD.
• 17:33 WE KNOW THE HOUR IS NEAR
• 17:35 BECAUSE OF THIS REBORN REMNANT OF THE JEWISH BELIEVERS.
• 17:38 CARDINAL RATZINGER BEFORE HE BECAME THE POPE
• 17:41 MET WITH JEWISH BELIEVERS AND GENTILE BELIEVERS TOGETHER
• 17:45 AND WHEN THE JEWISH BELIEVERS GAVE HIM THEIR TESTIMONY HE WEPT
• 17:49 AND HE SAID, "IF YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE"
• 17:51 "THEN JESUS IS COMING SOON"...
• 17:54 BECAUSE WE'RE A SIGN.
• 17:56 NOW FOR MYSELF AND MY WIFE
• 17:57 WE GATHER PEOPLE IN ISRAEL TO POINT YOU TO THE RE-BIRTH OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL
• 18:02 TO STAND WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 18:04 AND ABOVE ALL WE BELIEVE IT'S OUR MANDATE TO DO GOOD TO ALL MEN
• 18:08 ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH.
• 18:11 THAT'S WHY WE BRING YOU TO BE IN CONTACT WITH THE BELIEVERS
• 18:14 BECAUSE THAT REMNANT, THAT FAITHFUL REMNANT THAT'S IN THE LAND
• 18:18 IS THE FIRST FRUITS OF REDEMPTION
• 18:20 THAT'S PREPARING THIS WHOLE NATION FOR THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE MESSIAH.
• 18:27 AND SO THIS FIRST FRUITS REMNANT OF THE JEWISH BELIEVERS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE KINGDOM.
• 18:33 AND WE'RE IN A TIME OF TRANSITION
• 18:35 WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TOWARDS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
• 18:38 AND WHEN GOD CHASTISES AND SENDS US AWAY, HE TAKES AWAY THINGS...
• 18:43 THERE'S DIMINISHING LAND, DIMINISHING POWER, DIMINISHING STRENGTH.
• 18:47 WHEN HE RESTORES HE DOES THE SAME THING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.
• 18:51 GOD HAS RESTORED THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO THE LAND.
• 18:53 HE'S RESTORED THE LAND, THE TERRITORY.
• 18:56 HE'S CONTINUING TO DO THAT
• 18:58 AND IT'S A DOWN PAYMENT ON THAT WHICH IS COMING
• 19:00 WHICH IS WHEN YESHUA HA MASHIACH SETS HIS FOOT DOWN ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
• 19:05 SPLITS THE MOUNT OF OLIVES...
• 19:07 FRESH WATER FLOWS FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES TO THE DEAD SEA MAKING IT ALIVE
• 19:12 AND HE BEGINS TO SET UP A MILLENNIAL REIGN OF 1,000 YEARS IN JERUSALEM.
• 19:19 HE'S GOING TO HAVE HIS WAY ON THIS EARTH.
• 19:23 AND SO WE'RE IN A TIME OF A SIGN AND A WONDER.
• 19:26 THIS IS GOOD NEWS.
• 19:28 THERE IS A STREAM NOW COMING IN ORTHODOXY IN THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 19:33 WHERE THEY'RE BELIEVING FOR REDEMPTION THAT IS PARALLEL TO WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE.
• 19:38 WE HAVE OUR DISPUTES ABOUT THE PERSON OF THE MESSIAH.
• 19:42 WE HAVE OUR DISPUTES ABOUT SOME PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL POINTS.
• 19:46 BUT BOTH THIS STREAM OF JEWISH ORTHODOX AND CHRISTIANS
• 19:51 ARE BELIEVING FOR A REDEMPTION THAT IS SO POWERFUL
• 19:54 THAT IT CAUSES A RENOVATION OR A BEGINNING OR A NEW TIME FOR ALL OF US.
• 20:00 NOW FOR ME IT'S A THRILL TO HAVE YOU HERE.
• 20:03 EVERY JEWISH PERSON HAS A GIVEN NAME, A HEBREW NAME,
• 20:06 AND THEN AN ENGLISH OR A CULTURAL NAME.
• 20:10 RABBI SHAUL...RAV SHAUL BECAME PAUL
• 20:13 BUT HIS NAME WAS ALWAYS SAUL.
• 20:14 HE WAS SAUL IN HIS FAMILY AND PAUL IN THE GREEK CULTURE...IN THE ROMAN CULTURE.
• 20:19 MY NAME IS MYLES IN NEW YORK CITY AND CALIFORNIA
• 20:22 BUT MY GIVEN NAME IS MORDECAI.
• 20:24 AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE MORDECAI'S JOB IS TO RAISE ESTHER
• 20:29 AND TO TELL ESTHER YOU'VE BEEN BROUGHT INTO THE KINGDOM FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.
• 20:35 AND GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU TO THE KINGDOM TO STAND WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 20:38 TO RECOGNIZE WHERE YOU COME FROM,
• 20:40 THAT YOU'RE ROOTS ARE IN ISRAEL,
• 20:42 THEY'RE IN THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 20:44 THEY'RE IN THE HEBREW LANGUAGE.
• 20:45 THOSE ARE YOUR ROOTS.
• 20:47 DON'T FORSAKE THAT.
• 20:48 AND THEN TO STAND AS THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE THAT YOU ARE
• 20:51 AND LOOK AHEAD TO THE COMING OF YOUR BRIDEGROOM.
• 20:54 AMEN?
• 20:56 (PEOPLE) AMEN
• 20:59 (Katharine speaking) LEAVING CAPERNAUM ON THE NORTHERN SHORE OF THE SEA GALILEE
• 21:02 WE JOURNEY SOUTHWARD TO THE JORDAN RIVER.
• 21:05 PILGRIMS FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD FLOCK TO THIS SITE
• 21:08 TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE SAME WATERS IN WHICH JESUS, YESHUA WAS BAPTIZED.
• 21:12 BEFORE BAPTISM WE LIKE TO TAKE TIME TO WORSHIP THE LORD IN SONG
• 21:16 AND THEN TO REFLECT ON THE SPECIAL STEP OF OBEDIENCE.
• 21:23 THIS PROBABLY DOESN'T COME AS A SURPRISE FOR YOU
• 21:26 TO KNOW THAT BAPTISM IS AN ANCIENT JEWISH RITUAL...
• 21:31 CEREMONY...MEETING PLACE WITH THE LORD.
• 21:34 IN FACT, IT GOES BACK 1,000 YEARS BEFORE THE TIME OF CHRIST
• 21:38 AND IT'S TYPICALLY DONE IN THE SELF-IMMERSION.
• 21:41 THAT'S WHY THE PICTURES WE HAVE OF JOCHANAN...OF JOHN...
• 21:43 HE'S ON THE SHORE AND THE PEOPLE GO IN AND THEY DUNK THEMSELVES AND COME BACK OUT.
• 21:48 BUT WE'VE DEVELOPED A VERY BEAUTIFUL TRADITION OF HAVING ANOTHER BELIEVER BAPTIZE US
• 21:54 IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 21:58 AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE WHEN JOHN IMPLEMENTED THIS NEW FORM OF BAPTISM...
• 22:04 IN HEBREW IT'S "MIKVAH".
• 22:06 THE "MIKVA'OT" ARE THE RITUAL BAPTISMALS.
• 22:09 WE'LL SEE THEM WHEN WE GET TO JERUSALEM.
• 22:11 THEY'RE ALL OVER AROUND THE TEMPLE AREA.
• 22:14 THAT'S HOW 3,000 CAN GET BAPTIZED WHEN PETER PREACHED.
• 22:17 IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IN THE UPPER ROOM.
• 22:19 IT HAD TO BE ON THE SOUTHERN STEPS OR THEREABOUTS
• 22:21 BECAUSE THERE ARE MIKVA'OT EVERYWHERE.
• 22:24 AND THERE NEEDS TO BE RUNNING WATER,
• 22:25 SOME KIND OF MOVING WATER, "LIVING WATER" IT'S CALLED.
• 22:28 AND THE FIRST TIME THAT THE NAME CHANGE CAME
• 22:33 AND THE BAPTISM IN THE NAME OF YESHUA, IN THE NAME OF JESUS BECAME IMPLEMENTED
• 22:38 BECAUSE HE CHANGED EVERYTHING
• 22:41 AND HE CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR US.
• 22:44 AND HERE'S THE WONDERFUL PICTURE OF THE REASON WHY IT'S SO GREAT THAT WE BAPTIZE N THE WATERS
• 22:48 AND WE ARE GOING TO BAPTIZE YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 22:51 BECAUSE WHEN YESHUA WAS BAPTIZED BY JOHN AND HE TRIED TO RESIST THAT...
• 22:55 YOU KNOW JOHN TRIED TO RESIST IT...
• 22:57 AND HE SAID I NEED TO BE BAPTIZED BY YOU.
• 22:59 HE KNEW THAT SOMEONE MUCH GREATER WAS COMING
• 23:02 AND THAT WAS WELL KNOWN
• 23:04 BUT YESHUA INSISTED IN ORDER TO SET THE PATTERN FOR US
• 23:08 BUT ALSO SO THAT GOD THE FATHER COULD REVEAL THE REALITY OF THE TRINITY FOR US.
• 23:13 AND FOREVER IT'S IN THE WORD.
• 23:14 WE SEE IT HERE IN LUKE CHAPTER 3.
• 23:17 WHILE ALL THE PEOPLE WERE BEING IMMERSED YESHUA ALSO WAS IMMERSED.
• 23:21 AND WHILE HE WAS PRAYING HEAVEN OPENED
• 23:23 AND THE HOLY SPIRIT DESCENDED UPON HIM IN BODILY FORM LIKE A DOVE
• 23:27 AND A VOICE CAME OUT OF HEAVEN...
• 23:29 "YOU ARE MY BELOVED SON AND IN YOU I AM WELL PLEASED."
• 23:33 AND SO WE HAVE THE FATHER SPEAKING FROM HEAVEN.
• 23:37 WE HAVE THE SON STANDING IN THE WATER.
• 23:40 AND THE HOLY SPIRIT LIKE A DOVE DESCENDING UPON HIM...
• 23:43 ALL THREE PERSONS OF THE GODHEAD IN ONE SCENE
• 23:47 FOREVER SETTLING FOR US THAT GOD IS IN THREE PERSONS
• 23:51 AND THAT'S THE HEBREW MEANING OF THE WORD "ECHAD".
• 23:53 THE "YACHID" IS ONE; SINGULAR...
• 23:55 "ECHAD" IS A COMPOUND UNITY ONE.
• 23:58 AND THE CENTRAL PRAYER OF HEBREW LIFE SPEAKS OF GOD IN A COMPOUND UNITY...ECHAD...
• 24:05 AND WE KNOW IT AS "THREE IN ONE"...
• 24:07 WE KNOW THAT GOD IS THREE IN ONE.
• 24:09 SO TODAY WHEN YOU GO INTO THE WATER
• 24:11 I WANT YOU TO HOLD IN YOUR HEARTS WHATEVER PRAYER YOU HAVE BEFORE GOD
• 24:16 ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR LIFE...
• 24:18 WHATEVER YOUR HOPES ARE FOR THE FUTURE...
• 24:20 FOR YOUR FAMILY, FOR YOUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN...
• 24:22 FOR WHOEVER IS IN YOUR LIFE...
• 24:24 FOR YOU PERSONALLY...GOD WANTS TO MEET WITH YOU HERE TODAY.
• 24:28 HE INTENDS TO MEET WITH YOU.
• 24:30 IN FACT, I SAY THIS OFTEN...
• 24:32 I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU COME OUT OF THE WATER TODAY
• 24:34 IN YOUR HEART I WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE FATHER SAY,
• 24:38 THIS IS MY BELOVED SON...
• 24:40 THIS IS MY BELOVED DAUGHTER
• 24:43 WITH WHOM I'M WELL PLEASED.
• 24:45 AMEN?
• 25:17 THE WHOLE AREA WHERE JESUS MINISTERED
• 25:19 STILL HAS A DEPOSIT OF HIS LIFE AND HIS POWER.
• 25:23 YOU CAN FEEL IT.
• 25:24 WHEN WE SEE THESE BAPTISMS PEOPLE ARE SO BLESSED TO BE IN THIS AREA,
