Caption transcript for Zion Forever: “Valley of Elah” (5/9)

• 00:04 You, Bethlehem, even though you are the least among the cities of Israel,
• 00:07 out of you will come He who's goings forth
• 00:10 have been from everlasting to everlasting.
• 00:13 Speaking of Messiah.
• 00:14 He had to be of the House of David.
• 00:16 He had to be of the Tribe of Judah.
• 00:18 And He had to be Yeshua Ha Mashiach.
• 00:46 For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace.
• 00:50 And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,
• 00:54 Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness
• 00:58 and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
• 01:11 We're here in the beautiful "Emek HaEla" ,
• 01:14 the Valley of Elah.
• 01:15 This is the place where David defeated Goliath.
• 01:18 Arguably, the most important defeat
• 01:20 of the early years of David.
• 01:22 But before he came here,
• 01:24 David arose in the context of Israel asking for a king.
• 01:28 You know, people think that they inadvertently,
• 01:31 or wrongly asked for Saul to be king.
• 01:33 And maybe Saul was not the king that God had chosen at first.
• 01:37 But the reality is that God always intended a king to rule over Israel.
• 01:42 However, it had to be "Melech ha-M'lachim"
• 01:45 The King of Kings.
• 01:47 Now, Saul, Samuel, Jonathan, Nathan; these men were all
• 01:52 part of the environment in which both Saul and David came up in.
• 01:57 And David was influenced by that environment.
• 02:01 When Saul was chosen as king
• 02:03 he did several things that disqualified him.
• 02:06 In I Samuel 13:13 he's admonished by Samuel
• 02:11 to wait for Samuel for seven days.
• 02:14 But Saul did not wait.
• 02:16 He took on the role of the Priest and made a sacrifice
• 02:19 that was not his right do.
• 02:21 And Samuel admonished him.
• 02:23 And then, again in I Samuel 15
• 02:27 Samuel told Saul to completely wipe out the Amalekites.
• 02:33 Now this is very important
• 02:34 because people look at a warning like that from God
• 02:37 as if God is some blood-thirsty ruler.
• 02:39 But in fact, God knows the end from the beginning.
• 02:42 And way back, in the book of Exodus
• 02:44 God told Moses that if he did not deal with Amalek
• 02:48 there would be trouble forever.
• 02:50 In fact, Agag was an Amalekite
• 02:52 and Saul was then admonished by Samuel
• 02:55 to take care of the Amalekites.
• 02:57 And he did not do it.
• 02:59 And what happened from that is that centuries later
• 03:02 Mordecai would have to deal with Haman
• 03:05 who was also an Amalekite.
• 03:07 And so God, knowing the end from the beginning
• 03:09 understood that this intentional coming against the Israelites
• 03:14 would continue unless they dealt with these things.
• 03:17 In fact, in an act of mercy
• 03:19 God told Saul to spare the Kenites,
• 03:23 remembering back to the time of the Exodus
• 03:25 when they were kind to the Israelites on their way out of Egypt.
• 03:29 And that's important.
• 03:30 Remember that Caleb, the hero, one of the heroes of Exodus,
• 03:33 was in fact, of Jephunneh a Kenite.
• 03:36 And so, God knows what He's doing.
• 03:38 Samuel goes off to find a king that is
• 03:43 (speaking Hebrew)
• 03:46 "A man after God's own heart"
• 03:48 And that's what He's looking for.
• 03:49 And so he goes to Bethlehem not far from here.
• 03:53 And he goes and privately calls David,
• 03:57 after not choosing the other 7 sons,
• 04:00 he chooses the 8th.
• 04:01 "8" always the number of new beginnings.
• 04:04 The young David, a shepherd,
• 04:06 young David, a boy,
• 04:08 young David, God's chosen
• 04:11 (speaking Hebrew)
• 04:14 God is looking for a man after his own heart.
• 04:17 And then he will come here
• 04:19 and fight that incredible battle with Goliath.
• 04:27 What a classic picture of the battle in the heavenlies.
• 04:30 The warfare between David and Goliath is really a picture
• 04:34 of the warfare between the Messiah and the prince of the power of the air...Satan.
• 04:38 Well, even little Israel is fighting against these Goliaths
• 04:41 that are surrounding them, literally.
• 04:44 There are these wars, and rumors of wars,
• 04:47 and literal wars like the war that was just happening in Gaza.
• 04:52 God miraculously delivered several troops of the Israeli army
• 04:57 through a fog that came in over them as they were going out to defend their land,
• 05:04 to defend their right to live there as people,
• 05:07 and to protect their innocent.
• 05:09 They go to great lengths to protect all human life.
• 05:12 That's really true,
• 05:13 In fact, Colonel Camp, the British leader,
• 05:16 said that there's never been in the history of warfare
• 05:19 a more humane army or humane way of fighting war
• 05:23 than what happens with the IDF in Israel.
• 05:26 But what we're really looking at now
• 05:27 is that there's a supernatural layer
• 05:29 that's unseen like the fog that rolled in to protect the IDF.
• 05:33 And that happens many, many times.
• 05:35 We not only see that in the Bible with David and Goliath,
• 05:40 David said that, I come to you in the Name
• 05:42 (Speaking in Hebrew)
• 05:50 And really, that's speaking of an Angelic Army, isn't it"
• 05:53 I think there was something of God's supernatural hand to take that little teeny stone
• 05:58 and to put it right between the forehead of Goliath and see that giant topple.
• 06:04 And that's how we're going to continue to see this stage of life play out.
• 06:09 We have evidence from the Bible, from history, from archeology.
• 06:14 And so let's go to one of our archeologists, Eli Shukron.
• 06:17 He's one of the key leaders in the archeological movement,
• 06:20 especially, uncovering the City of David.
• 06:23 Let's go to him now.
• 06:25 We are on the outside of the city
• 06:27 in the front of the city wall
• 06:31 of the City of David of Jerusalem in the 1st Temple Period.
• 06:34 We are talking about 8th century BC.
• 06:37 That wall was built here to support the city,
• 06:40 to protect the city, from the east side of Jerusalem.
• 06:45 We are close to the Kidron Valley.
• 06:47 We are in the Kidron Valley
• 06:48 and we know that all the attacks
• 06:52 when they want to attack Jerusalem
• 06:54 they came from that position. Why?
• 06:56 You can see it, it is so strong, it is so huge.
• 07:00 And that city wall here
• 07:03 protected the city from that point of view.
• 07:06 And if we go to the Bible, if we go to the excavations
• 07:09 we can see that all the armies,
• 07:11 that the Babylonian army and the Roman army
• 07:15 when they wanted to attack Jerusalem
• 07:17 they attacked Jerusalem from the north, not from that side.
• 07:21 And we see how huge that city wall of Jerusalem built here.
• 07:25 And I found out before like 15 years here in this area
• 07:30 a new city wall, down below the slope
• 07:35 close to the Kidron Valley,
• 07:37 huge one[wall]to protect the city from the time of the 1st Temple period.
• 07:42 Now we are in the Kidron Valley
• 07:44 in the bottom of this east slope of the City of David.
• 07:48 And we are outside of the city wall.
• 07:51 And I think this is the position of King David when he came with his soldiers
• 07:56 and he wanted to take the city from the Jebusite people.
• 08:01 And he was standing here in the bottom of the Kidron Valley.
• 08:07 And you look up...
• 08:10 That position, you look and saw all that tower, all that city wall,
• 08:15 a huge one that was built here in the time of Melchizedek;
• 08:18 built here in the Canaanite time before 3,800 years.
• 08:21 An they still, in that time,
• 08:24 use it as a city wall and a tower of the city.
• 08:27 And when he stood here in that position
• 08:30 and he looked above, he saw the Jebusite king.
• 08:33 And the Jebusite king was standing on the top of the tower
• 08:37 on the top of the city wall.
• 08:39 And he looked down to King David and his soldiers.
• 08:42 And he said to King David, you can't go into my city.
• 08:45 Why?
• 08:46 I can put the blind man and the lamb on my city wall and you can't go inside.
• 08:51 You can't take the city from me.
• 08:53 And King David was very, very angry from that.
• 08:56 How the Jebusite king will laugh at him.
• 09:00 This once, I just need to think how to come in the city and take the city.
• 09:07 And because if you look here around us we can see
• 09:10 a huge tower with a huge boulder,
• 09:13 tons of each boulder.
• 09:15 The wide of the wall in this area is 7 meters, 21 feet, it is huge!
• 09:22 And that's what King David needed,
• 09:24 to come into the city secretly
• 09:27 to know how to attack the city,
• 09:30 how to find the way to come into the city,
• 09:33 and the Bible tells us about the pipe.
• 09:35 You are going to see it.
• 09:36 Okay, we are in the Gihon Spring,
• 09:38 The only spring that we have in Jerusalem.
• 09:41 From that Gihon Spring we have the tunnels
• 09:44 that take the water from the spring outside,
• 09:47 inside to the city, inside to the pool they built here around.
• 09:51 And what we are doing now,
• 09:53 we are standing close to the tunnel called the Canaanite Tunnel
• 09:57 that was built here before 3,800 years ago.
• 10:01 In 1997 I was working here in the area, it's called Gihon Spring area.
• 10:08 And I came here with my worker and I started to understand
• 10:14 that we have the tunnel here.
• 10:17 And what I did, I broke that wall
• 10:20 and I came into the tunnel by that entry.
• 10:24 And what I found in the beginning of that tunnel,
• 10:27 I found 2 huge boulders sticking in the tunnel
• 10:32 that no one can come from the tunnel into the spring area.
• 10:36 It means that it was someone who put those boulders
• 10:40 because they don't want to let any people come to the spring
• 10:43 because the spring is the life of the city at that time.
• 10:46 This is what the people of the city have to drinking water
• 10:52 just from that living water that came from rain in this position in this area.
• 10:59 It is called the Gihon Spring area.
• 11:01 And this is the meaning
• 11:04 of the pipe of the tunnel
• 11:06 that was built here
• 11:07 before 3,800 years ago.
• 11:10 And also, used in the time of the Jebusites in the time of King David.

• 12:39 Thank you, again.
• 12:40 You know, we have no major institutions backing us.
• 12:43 It's important that you understand
• 12:45 that we are really dependent on your gifts of funds.
• 12:48 Archaeology is such an important part
• 12:52 of this unearthing of the truth of the Bible
• 12:54 because it verifies, substantiates,
• 12:57 it corroborates that which is in the Word.
• 12:59 We know that the Word is true.
• 13:01 But the archaeologists really help us to understand it.
• 13:04 And we're going to go to our next segment
• 13:06 and you're going to hear from Shahar Shilo,
• 13:08 a historian, and Director at the City of David.
• 13:11 But first, let's hear again from
• 13:14 archeologist, Shimon Gibson.
• 13:18 We're at the southern end of the City of David.
• 13:22 It's a kind of sort of a rocky kind of sort of precipice here.
• 13:24 And you have visitors.
• 13:26 There's some kids who are sort of nearby
• 13:28 who have come to this place.
• 13:29 It is understood by the original excavators,
• 13:33 Weill who dug here in the early 20th century,
• 13:36 to be the place where the tomb of King David was located
• 13:40 and that of the other royal kings.
• 13:42 And in those excavations, these very interesting tunnel-like cavities
• 13:49 were found cut into the side of the hill.
• 13:52 And it's suggested by
• 13:55 Weill who dug here
• 13:56 in the early 20th century
• 13:58 that this is the place of the tomb of King David.
• 14:01 However, the traditional site
• 14:03 is positioned on top of Mount Zion
• 14:06 on the other side of the city.
• 14:09 Now, it's very clear from analysis of the remains there
• 14:12 that site only goes back to the time of the Crusaders
• 14:17 to the 12th century.
• 14:18 So, it's a medieval tradition.
• 14:21 What we have here is the ancient Biblical city.
• 14:26 And these features might very well be
• 14:28 connected one way or another with that of King David.
• 14:32 But there's uncertainty
• 14:34 because there are no archaeological remains
• 14:36 which can be directly linked to King David.
• 14:39 Further to the north,
• 14:41 parts of the building were uncovered by an
• 14:43 Israeli archaeologist fairly recently, Eliat Mazar.
• 14:46 And she believes that is the palace of King David.
• 14:51 While this is a mixture of the excavations
• 14:53 done by the delegation of Dr. Eliat Mazar,
• 14:55 there are Roman period buildings around us right now,
• 14:58 Byzantine period, Herodian period.
• 15:00 And right there we have the framework of a huge basis
• 15:03 of a Biblical building that she believes very much
• 15:05 is the palace of King David.
• 15:08 Others would say this might have been the palace
• 15:09 of a later Jewish king from the Jewish period.
• 15:12 But again, this is a Biblical site
• 15:14 which was penetrated by Roman things afterwards.
• 15:17 The great story that I want to share with you right now has to do with the same time frame of
• 15:22 the Roman times dealing with the Temple Mount itself
• 15:25 because the Temple Mount we need to remember
• 15:27 was at its time the number one largest and most magnificent building ever in the world.
• 15:33 Not only do we hear about that
• 15:35 from Josephus himself, the historian of the time,
• 15:37 we have another historian coming from Rome
• 15:39 to the colony - should I say province of Judea.
• 15:41 He's visiting here.
• 15:43 And he goes back to the Roman senate and he gives a report.
• 15:45 In his report, one of the items being declared, he says,
• 15:50 I've seen the most magnificent building ever in my life.
• 15:53 Can you imagine in the colony of Judea
• 15:55 the most magnificent building?
• 15:56 And he refers, he says,
• 15:57 to the great Temple built by King Herod on top of the Temple Mount
• 16:01 which for his time was the number one largest building of religious type in the world;
• 16:07 and the largest premises.
• 16:08 And he gives that report to the Roman senate.
• 16:11 And this is not in Rome, it's in Israel,today,
• 16:13 or should I say, ancient Judea of the time.
• 16:15 It's shocking.
• 16:16 So the Temple Mount was the largest building of its kind,
• 16:20 larger than Egypt,
• 16:22 larger than Rome,
• 16:23 larger than Mesopotamia 2,000 years ago.
• 16:26 Still today, when talking about the Temple Mount
• 16:28 we need to understand
• 16:29 not only the western wall stands,
• 16:31 all four walls of King Herod still stands;
• 16:34 the southern wall, the eastern wall,
• 16:36 and the northern wall which is right along the Via Dolorosa.
• 16:38 This is all a part of the huge premises
• 16:41 of the Temple Mount at that time.
• 16:44 So he came back with this report about the Temple
• 16:45 but he also said that he had been to the Dead Sea,
• 16:48 and he had seen other things.
• 16:49 Tell us about that.
• 16:50 Well, the report is very long.
• 16:51 I wouldn't say the whole thing,
• 16:53 But he said 3 things has amazed me in the colony of Judea,
• 16:55 which is, a sea that nothing sinks in, he of course talks about the Dead Sea.
• 17:00 He says, I cannot understand Jewish economy.
• 17:02 How can they maintain an economy when every 7th day they don't work?
• 17:07 He says, the shofar is being blown in the Temple Mount on every Friday
• 17:11 and then everything stops.
• 17:13 He says, in Rome the slaves continue on working.
• 17:17 He says, even wives do not work on Shabbat,
• 17:20 which is awesome for him, I mean just imagine for us
• 17:22 not having your wife working at that time 2,000 years ago.
• 17:25 This is actually what happens.
• 17:26 And then he talks about the item of the Temple Mount
• 17:29 which is something that I find very interesting
• 17:31 that there's during his time,
• 17:32 this was the largest building ever existed.
• 17:35 WOW! That's fantastic.
• 17:35 Thank you!
• 18:06 (Katharine speaking) Israel is a Land full of promises.
• 18:09 You'll never be same
• 18:11 so we invite you to come.
• 18:12 It's trip of a lifetime.
• 18:14 We'd love you to join us.
• 18:18 Isn't this awesome,
• 18:19 being here in Emek Elah,
• 18:21 the Elah Valley.
• 18:22 This is the place where David met Goliath.
• 18:25 Absolutely,
• 18:26 you know, David is one of my favorite heroes
• 18:28 because he pursues the LORD
• 18:30 and therefore fights the battles of the LORD and not his own battles.
• 18:34 Yeah, he really was such a parallel
• 18:36 between David and Yeshua.
• 18:38 There's so many things that are the same.
• 18:40 David functioned as a prophet, a priest and a king.
• 18:42 And we know that Yeshua is the ultimate Prophet, Priest and King.
• 18:46 And he also was a man that was under authority.
• 18:49 His father said, go take this bread to your brothers.
• 18:52 We know that there's a skirmish going on,
• 18:54 we know that the Philistines are oppressing the Israelites
• 18:57 and your brothers might need bread.
• 18:59 Well David comes down on the scene and he sees this 8 foot tall giant
• 19:03 just slamming the Israelites
• 19:06 with accusations that they are just dead dogs.
• 19:09 And the LORD encouraged David's heart
• 19:13 and David encouraged himself with the victories
• 19:15 that he had already won with the lion and the bear.
• 19:18 And he said to himself and then he said to Saul,
• 19:21 God will deliver this Philistine into my hands.
• 19:25 Exactly so.
• 19:26 And that's exactly what happened.
• 19:28 And David won the battle here
• 19:30 and it's really a picture for us
• 19:31 of the battle between Mashiach and Ha 'Satan, the adversary,
• 19:35 the accuser of the brethren.
• 19:37 It's an epic battle the looks forward
• 19:39 to the defeat of the Devil himself.
• 19:42 Isn't it amazing that David, a shepherd, was born in Bethlehem
• 19:47 Yeshua, a Shepherd of people was born in Bethlehem.
• 19:50 And it had to be so, because the prophet Micah
• 19:53 said in Micah 5:2,
• 19:57 speaking of Messiah
• 20:05 He had to be of the House of David.
• 20:07 He had to be of the Tribe of Judah.
• 20:09 And he had to be Yeshua HaMashiach.
• 20:11 There is no other.
• 20:12 You know, David was anointed 3 times.
• 20:15 Privately, by Samuel in Bethlehem,
• 20:18 and then by the men of Judah a little later in the story,
• 20:21 and they finally by the Elders of Israel.
• 20:23 And here's a parallel that you may not hear elsewhere.
• 20:26 Jesus also, was anointed 3 times.
• 20:29 In the womb, by the Angel Gabriel
• 20:31 he was called into being.
• 20:33 And then, by the river in front of John the Baptist,
• 20:36 John the Immerser, he was anointed before men.
• 20:41 And then finally, at the time of the ascension
• 20:44 He was anointed with the oil of joy above His fellows.
• 20:48 He is the King of Kings.
• 20:50 David, Melech Israel pictures the coming Mashiach.
• 20:56 (Katharine speaking) From the Valley of Elah
• 20:57 we take you to northern Israel
• 20:59 to "Our Man in Haifa"
• 21:00 Eitan Shishkoff.
• 21:04 Shalom
• 21:06 Well known in the scriptures
• 21:07 is the story of a man
• 21:08 who ran from the call of God.
• 21:11 He actually set sail in the opposite direction
• 21:14 from the direction God was calling him to,
• 21:16 not too far south of here
• 21:18 at a place that's called in the Bible, Joppa.
• 21:20 But today we call it Jaffa.
• 21:22 Today there's a modern city of Tel Aviv,
• 21:25 a metropolis of hundreds of thousands of people.
• 21:28 But in those days Tel Aviv didn't even exist.
• 21:31 It was just a lot of sand.
• 21:33 But what did exist was a primary port for Israel called Joppa.
• 21:38 And of course it was Jonah who set sail from Joppa.
• 21:41 And he probably sailed right up passed where you're viewing me right now.
• 21:46 It's the Haifa Bay behind me.
• 21:48 And Jonah was trying to avoid going to Nineveh,
• 21:53 the main city of the Assyrians
• 21:55 who, not too many decades after that would then conquer Israel
• 21:59 and cause the first captivity in about 720 B.C. E.
• 22:04 Now, the thing that I think God wants us to focus on in the story
• 22:08 is the fact that for every one of us there is a Nineveh.
• 22:12 And for every one of us there's a Tarshish.
• 22:15 The possible location for Tarshish was in the exact opposite direction
• 22:18 on the coast of Spain near the Rock of Gibraltar.
• 22:22 So, what is God's call to us?
• 22:26 Let's think about another thing that happened in Joppa
• 22:29 in order to focus in on this.
• 22:31 The Apostle Peter was in that very town
• 22:35 when he received a vision from God also to go to the Gentiles.
• 22:39 Now that's interesting isn't it?
• 22:41 Because Jonah was running from a calling and an assignment
• 22:46 that would have taken him to Israel's enemy.
• 22:49 But with a message of love, a message of reconciliation.
• 22:53 And not that the Gentiles were Peter's enemy,
• 22:56 but it had never been done before
• 22:58 that a Jewish man was sent into a nation like this
• 23:03 accept for Jonah.
• 23:05 It's interesting that they both connect with Joppa.
• 23:08 And so for us, where is our Nineveh?
• 23:11 Where's God calling us to?
• 23:13 Maybe a group of people that we haven't respected
• 23:15 or haven't considered to be equal with us
• 23:17 or worthy to receive the love of God.
• 23:20 And where's our Tarshish?
• 23:22 Where are we trying to run to?
• 23:24 Of course Jonah, in a very radical move,
• 23:28 jumped out of the boat
• 23:31 to try to save the lives of the people on the ship
• 23:33 was swallowed by a giant fish in a way that we can only imagine.
• 23:37 But he prayed to God out of that fish.
• 23:40 I want to encourage you today
• 23:42 and I'm encouraging myself at the same time.
• 23:44 When we find ourselves in the belly of the fish
• 23:47 somehow out of sorts with the assignment of God,
• 23:50 it's a good idea to pray.
• 23:52 He prayed, he confessed,
• 23:53 he said, God I don't really belong here.
• 23:56 Forgive me, I'm ready to do what you told me to.
• 24:00 Thanks, and Shalom.

• 25:06 You know, we were made for the glory of God.
• 25:08 We were made to be the House of God.
• 25:11 And Solomon fulfilled the wishes of David
• 25:13 and he built the Lord Himself a house.
• 25:16 And God saw the sacrifice of Solomon it says in I Kings.
• 25:21 And He heard the prayers and the supplications of Solomon.
• 25:24 And He said...
• 25:42 WOW!, that's beautiful.
• 25:44 You know, the glory that was in Solomon's house,
• 25:48 the scriptures says that the Glory of the later house
• 25:50 would be even greater.
• 25:51 So what's coming as we look to the return of the LORD,
• 25:54 what's coming in the millennium and beyond is so much greater.
• 25:58 I don't think we can even really imagine how awesome it is.
• 26:01 I think about how Jesus prayed in John 17
• 26:04 that as He was glorified that the people would see
• 26:08 the relationship between Himself and the Father.
• 26:10 And that we would be one with one another,
• 26:13 that these Jewish disciples were going to take the word out
• 26:15 to the entire Gentile world.
• 26:17 And someday this would become a unifying time
• 26:23 when the Glory of God could again come to us as the Temple.
• 26:28 And I think about the battles in the valley of Elah
• 26:31 and the story of David and Goliath
• 26:34 and the spiritual battle that it represents.
• 26:37 And it really looks to the need on planet earth
• 26:42 for " Melech Hamelachim "
• 26:44 "The King of Kings"
• 26:45 Because if Saul was a human choice
• 26:47 and David was God's choice
• 26:49 but was a picture, not the complete fulfillment,
• 26:52 a picture of something that God Himself wants to do as
• 26:56 " Ha-de-rekh v'ha'e-met v'ha-chai-yim "
• 26:59 "The Way, the Truth, and the Life"
• 27:01 as John 14:6 says.
• 27:03 That we are getting near to that time
• 27:05 when we are going to experience the Glory of God.
• 27:08 Him as the King.
• 27:09 Yes, we are going to experience the King Himself
• 27:12 in us and through us God willing... Ahhh
• 27:14 So until that time and until we see you again
• 27:17 remember...
• 27:18 Sha'lu Shalom Yerushalayim.
• 27:21 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
