Caption transcript for Times of the Signs: “Bethlehem Rewritten” (4/8)

• 00:04 On today's program, the little town of Bethlehem
• 00:06 has become the birthplace for a new form of replacement theology
• 00:10 Stay tuned for "Times of the Signs"
• 01:12 Shalom, and welcome to our program, I'm Myles Weiss
• 01:14 and I'm Katharine Weiss.
• 01:15 Welcome to our series "Times of the Signs".
• 01:18 We are highlighting prophesies that are being fulfilled today
• 01:21 that are pointing to the soon coming of our King.
• 01:25 Today we are really looking at replacement theology,
• 01:27 especially its manifestation in Bethlehem.
• 01:30 Believe it or not the story of the birthplace of Yeshua is being completely rewritten.
• 01:35 What is "replacement theology"?
• 01:36 It's the idea that because the Jews rejected Jesus nationally,
• 01:41 although some of us still believe in Him,
• 01:43 because nationally we rejected him that the blessings have been
• 01:47 taken from the Jewish people and given to the Church alone.
• 01:50 This is ridiculous because God is a covenant keeping God
• 01:54 and if he was to rescind his covenant with the Jewish people
• 01:57 what's to say he won't rescind his covenant with the Church as well?
• 02:01 Well he is the ideal prodigal father.
• 02:04 The Jews might have strayed
• 02:06 but they are coming home in masses today
• 02:09 and he is standing to greet them.
• 02:12 So let's remember the heart of the Father
• 02:14 and let's hear some more from Myles in Bethlehem.
• 02:20 So many Christians in the west
• 02:22 have a romantic picture of Bethlehem
• 02:25 probably from Christmas stories, Hallmark cards
• 02:28 and just a sense of the romance and the beauty of the area.
• 02:33 I'm standing in Manger Square in modern Bethlehem.
• 02:37 Bethlehem is the site of incredible tension between
• 02:41 Muslims and Christians and
• 02:43 between the Arab population and Israel proper.
• 02:46 Micah 5:2 prophesies
• 02:50 that out of this place, Bethlehem Ephrathath,
• 03:00 So the story of Yeshua coming from this place, coming from Bethlehem
• 03:04 is not just a Hebraic story, it's an eternal story.
• 03:08 It's about God's covenant keeping ability,
• 03:11 his covenant keeping ways.
• 03:14 This is the place that was prophesied that he would be born
• 03:18 as the son of David in the line of David and he would be in fact David's greater son.
• 03:24 And yet today we see incredible tension as the story of the Hebraic Messiah,
• 03:31 the Jewish story, the history of Bethlehem is being rewritten
• 03:35 and reinterpreted in order to fit into a new version of replacement theology.
• 03:40 That's why I love hearing from some of our Arab friends
• 03:44 who understand the tension and understand difficulty here.
• 03:47 I'm thinking of Tarek Fatah from the Muslim Canadian Congress
• 03:52 and the way that he spoke that it's time to stop the Jew hatred
• 03:56 and start building Palestine.
• 03:58 In other words, the funding that comes from the west
• 04:01 that is supposed to help the people here instead of going
• 04:04 into infrastructure and hospitals and health and well being and schools, etc.
• 04:09 whether it's here in Gaza or the territories
• 04:11 it often goes into weaponry and fermenting that educational system
• 04:16 that is anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, anti-Israel
• 04:20 and that can only bring more difficulties.
• 04:22 I also think about a wonderful pastor, Shmuel Aweida
• 04:26 who is an Arab pastor working
• 04:29 with the Messianics in Israel.
• 04:31 Now he has also a very clear view
• 04:33 of the need for the Jewish Messianics
• 04:36 to love the Arab Christians that love the Arab people
• 04:39 at the same time that the Arab people
• 04:41 need to stand with the restoration of Israel
• 04:44 and the importance of what God is doing
• 04:47 because it is part of the future of what God is wanting to do here in this land.
• 04:53 I have to say that the Arab believers, the Arab Christians
• 04:56 are caught between two fires
• 04:58 and currently are being unduly influenced by Islamic theology
• 05:03 and the liberation theology, the Marxist liberation theology
• 05:07 that can only lead to more divisiveness and more hatred.
• 05:11 So we're here to bring you another part of the story.
• 05:15 And this part of the story is that God is in the business of
• 05:20 restoration or it's the human soul, or the nation of Israel,
• 05:24 or bringing together the one-new man, Jew and Arab together, worshipping together,
• 05:28 worshipping the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 05:31 So we want to bring you that part of the story in the Name of Yeshua .
• 05:43 Regarding Israel which is our heart of hearts here,
• 05:48 what do you think about the current Palestinian,
• 05:52 Evangelical, Revisionism that's taking place where Jesus is a Palestinian freedom fighter
• 06:01 and this new kind of replacement theology that's taking place,
• 06:05 how do you see that?
• 06:06 I see it through the lens of Revelation 12.
• 06:10 Revelation 12 as you know is one of those chapters
• 06:13 that pulls back the veil and let's us see the spiritual realm
• 06:18 In that passage very clearly when you interpret all the symbolic imagery correctly
• 06:23 You see Satan seeking to devour the woman
• 06:26 clothed with the sun and the moon and the 12 stars
• 06:29 which is imagery that goes back to Joseph's dream.
• 06:31 And Genesis 37:9-10.
• 06:34 And Satan is doing everything he can to devour
• 06:38 or eradicate the nation of Israel.
• 06:41 God said, I will bless you, and through you the world will be blessed.
• 06:46 All of our blessings whether it be Yeshua Jesus, Jewish or the Scripture written by Jews,
• 06:55 or...now, or the coming kingdom.
• 06:58 See that's what people don't understand.
• 07:00 Israel is the gift that keeps on giving.
• 07:03 And so since that is true Satan is working overtime
• 07:08 to marginalize, eradicate, get people's mind off this nation.
• 07:12 So I look at it largely through that Revelation 12 prism.
• 07:15 Unfortunately the revisionists have been very successful in their propaganda because
• 07:21 when you go around the globe, especially Europe today...
• 07:24 I saw a recent thing where they were talking about ISIS
• 07:29 and actually their campus in Berkeley, they were "thumbs up", you know, were encouraging it.
• 07:34 You bring up something about Zionism or the Jewish State
• 07:38 and it was like, "you're an occupationist, you are the problem with the whole world.
• 07:42 And it's totally out of balance.
• 07:45 The Arabs have never accepted Israel.
• 07:47 Mahmoud Abbas said the other day
• 07:50 that they will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
• 07:53 These people mean what they say.
• 07:56 From a secular standpoint, for example,
• 08:00 if an American Secretary of State is trying to cobble together a two-state solution,
• 08:04 there are elements that make sense,
• 08:06 these people just simply want to live side by side.
• 08:08 But when you factor in the ideology and the commitment of the jihadist forces
• 08:14 it's an absolute non-starter.
• 08:16 Israel has been a desert for 1,850 years.
• 08:24 But the Zionist movement and so on...
• 08:27 And how come it was a desert?
• 08:28 God was preserving it because of their rejection of the Messiah
• 08:33 70 AD to around 1850 when Samuel Clemens, the great fiction writer said,
• 08:40 This is a land I wouldn't want to live in.
• 08:43 It's a desert, weeds and so on...
• 08:46 But from then the Jews started going back because...
• 08:50 and it's interesting because the rainfall that had been held from God.
• 08:55 And in my new book "Target Israel"
• 08:58 I highlight the fact that there are illustrations in the Old Testament,
• 09:02 particularly the minor prophets
• 09:04 that predicted that God has control of the weather
• 09:07 and so He didn't give rain for almost 1,850 years.
• 09:13 In fact, one Rabbi said of 660,000 days.
• 09:17 Well that's 1,850 years.
• 09:20 But in our time it's coming.
• 09:32 Our resource on this program...
• 09:34 the book, "Broken Branches"
• 09:37 We will send you Zola's book on replacement theology.
• 09:41 Some denominations have tried to
• 09:42 cast away their roots of Christianity,
• 09:45 the Jewish people
• 09:47 and the Promised Land.
• 09:49 Zola clearly explains the Church has not replaced Israel.

• 10:18 Katharine - Israel is a Land full of promises.
• 10:22 You will never be the same.
• 10:23 So we invite you to come.
• 10:25 It's a trip of a lifetime.
• 10:26 We'd love you to join us.
• 10:38 Myles - We're here in Bethlehem
• 10:40 Beit Lechem "The House of Bread"
• 10:42 It's such a part of the story of the restoration of God,
• 10:46 the way he is restoring
• 10:48 the people to the Land
• 10:49 and the way he is restoring,
• 10:50 hoping for, looking for
• 10:52 reconciliation and love
• 10:54 between the cousins and the family...
• 10:55 the family feud between the Jews and the Arabs.
• 10:58 2,600 years ago the Prophet Jeremiah said,
• 11:04 We see that playing out through history
• 11:07 where Christians, believers around the world,
• 11:08 they love the history of Israel and the future of Israel
• 11:11 but they're not sure what to do with the present day restoration of Israel.
• 11:15 We see that playing out in World War II in 1948.
• 11:18 1967 and 1973 the west is always late to the party to help with the Jewish people
• 11:26 but they have eventually come through
• 11:28 and there's been a strong support of restoration.
• 11:32 But you know there's a large growing part of the body
• 11:35 that is believing along with St. Augustine of years ago
• 11:39 who told us that we were chosen, the Jews, but chosen for
• 11:43 judgment, exile, humiliation defeat and destruction.
• 11:48 And there is a growing part of the body that is aligning with that mentality.
• 11:53 And tragically a lot of that is being fermented
• 11:57 right here in Bethlehem.
• 12:00 The fact is that God is a covenant keeping God.
• 12:02 If he keeps his covenant with me as a Jewish person
• 12:05 he will keep his covenant with you as a Christian,
• 12:07 as a believer in Yeshua HaMashiach
• 12:09 Sadly, right here in Bethlehem
• 12:12 where there is a security wall
• 12:13 that has effectively stopped terror from coming into downtown Jerusalem.
• 12:19 Teams are coming from around the world to stand and mock the IDF soldiers that stand guard there
• 12:24 to harass, to take photo-ops
• 12:27 siding with and alleging that all the issues that the Arab people are suffering
• 12:32 are because of the Jews.
• 12:33 And the fact is that what is most tragic
• 12:36 is that the Arab leadership, the political leadership
• 12:40 has failed their people.
• 12:43 The change now is that this replacement theology is now
• 12:48 beginning to have a Palestinian overlay
• 12:52 allegedly seeking peace and justice, social justice.
• 12:55 But it cannot be accomplished apart from the Word of God.
• 12:59 And the Scriptures are the only lens with which to understand the conflict here.
• 13:04 I thank God for groups like F.I.R.M., The Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries,
• 13:10 that is gathering those who support Israel,
• 13:12 support the Arab Christians, support the Messianic Jews,
• 13:15 and are trying to put on display what can happen
• 13:19 when the Prince of Peace comes to the Land.
• 13:23 And that is the only hope we have here.
• 13:32 What's happening in Bethlehem is of real concern to me.
• 13:36 I pastored here in Jerusalem,
• 13:38 started a church in 1991
• 13:41 and still am the old gray head
• 13:42 that shows up at the church once in a while,
• 13:45 before Meno Kalisher took over.
• 13:47 And we would do ministry into Bethlehem.
• 13:49 There are some good people over in Bethlehem.
• 13:52 We would go in there, we would go in the streets,
• 13:54 we would go door to door,
• 13:56 we'd do special projects,
• 13:58 I preached several times in Bethlehem at different churches.
• 14:01 But there's a segment of the Christian community over there
• 14:05 that would be what I would consider replacement theologians
• 14:10 What's you're basically talking about
• 14:12 is that the Church has replaced God's plan for the Jewish people.
• 14:16 That's an impossibility.
• 14:18 If he can lie to the Jews, he could lie to you and me about our eternal life and salvation.
• 14:23 Well said.
• 14:25 But these replacement theologians are pulling together Christians from around the world
• 14:30 to stand with the Palestinians.
• 14:32 Now there's nothing wrong with that if
• 14:34 you have the right theology and eschatology which they do not have
• 14:39 and that's of much concern to me.
• 14:41 It's just a matter of time
• 14:42 before the entire European Union votes for a Palestinian State.
• 14:47 On the surface it sounds great.
• 14:51 And all the Palestinians would have to do is acknowledge these
• 14:55 two previous enormously generous offers
• 14:58 that Barak gave to Arafat in 2000
• 15:01 Ehud Barak
• 15:02 Ehud Barak, the former Prime Minister.
• 15:04 It was 95 per cent of Judea and Samaria,
• 15:07 east Jerusalem and it had
• 15:09 broke up over who was going to have sovereignty over the holy sites in the Old City.
• 15:13 Right.
• 15:14 And then Ehud Olmert was willing in 2008 to give all of that plus sovereignty
• 15:20 and Abbas didn't take the deal.
• 15:22 So it's absurd.
• 15:23 So they just keep pushing and pushing.
• 15:26 It's very clear from prophecy that the Jewish State
• 15:30 will be squeezed by an international community
• 15:35 that frankly has run out of patience with the Jews.
• 15:38 and I see that happening on an unprecedented scale.
• 15:41 It's much more intense than it was 20 years ago.
• 15:43 Even when I was little it was coming into form.
• 15:47 Now we're seeing things that are really breathtaking in scope
• 15:51 the pressure put on Israel
• 15:52 politically, militarily, culturally.
• 15:54 Sir Martin Gilbert in Great Britain
• 15:56 said a few years ago when he was asked about
• 15:58 Why is there incitement?
• 16:00 Why is there anti-Semitism raging again in Europe?
• 16:03 And he said, a lot of people don't like Jews.
• 16:07 And it's a very elementary answer
• 16:09 but I think it's very, very on target.
• 16:11 And at the end of the day
• 16:13 it's really one of the few things that makes sense.
• 16:15 I think that anti-Semitism is a spiritual problem.
• 16:19 And we see it manifesting itself in a big way now.
• 16:22 One and a half per cent of Europe is born-again Christians.
• 16:28 That's shocking.
• 16:30 And I shared that recently with a friend from the U.K.
• 16:32 He says, one and a half per cent might be generous.
• 16:34 I was going to say,
• 16:36 it's not an exaggeration, right?
• 16:37 WOW.
• 16:39 So, that's just incredible.
• 16:40 It's so hard for us to comprehend that.
• 16:42 So you have an anti-Semitic group
• 16:44 and you have a Continent
• 16:46 that's void of a personal intimate relationship with the Messiah, Jesus of Israel.
• 16:54 There's no lens in which to see the truth of the headlines.
• 16:57 Exactly
• 16:59 Everything's arbitrary.
• 17:00 Man becomes the standard.
• 17:01 Everything is arbitrary in that case.
• 17:03 And that's exactly right.
• 17:04 And that's Europe's history.
• 17:06 You also have the World Council of Churches that's out of Geneva, Switzerland
• 17:09 that told the European Union that they should go forward
• 17:13 with their boycott of goods that are made in the settlement communities.
• 17:16 Yeah.
• 17:18 Then you have the U.N. refugee group, the Human Rights Council that's operating out of Geneva.
• 17:23 Then you have the boycott divestment sanctions movement out of London
• 17:28 and all the other things that come along with it.
• 17:31 So I told my friend that heads up the European Coalition,
• 17:34 I said, you have it much, much more difficult than us in the United States
• 17:38 where we have APAC that does enormously significant
• 17:42 and many times efficient work on Capitol Hill.
• 17:46 And you have many Christian organizations that are very supportive of Israel.
• 17:50 And for the most part, even the Protestants and Catholics support the State of Israel.
• 17:55 But in Europe it's completely different.
• 17:57 It's just so remotely different than what we're used to.
• 17:59 I don't think that Israel can any longer count on
• 18:04 strong American support at the political level.
• 18:07 And I think that's an obvious thing.
• 18:09 There have been some difficult moments in the last couple of years.
• 18:13 Militarily of course one of the problems
• 18:17 is an odd acceptance in the west of the jihadist mentality.
• 18:22 Hezbollah and Hamas should have been put down a long time ago.
• 18:26 And yet we seem to tolerate that so long as they don't target us.
• 18:31 And so Israel is faced with issues on their borders that there haven't been before.
• 18:38 The rocket stockpiles in Lebanon by Hezbollah.
• 18:41 The rocket stockpiles in Gaza and that sort of thing.
• 18:44 And so when they try to defend themselves
• 18:47 they're looked at as the pariah in the international community.
• 18:51 So those kinds of things are going on.
• 18:53 But more importantly, they are intensifying.
• 18:56 This is a very important issue for Katharine and myself.
• 18:59 It's a personal one as our sons have recently graduated from college.
• 19:03 While they were there they dealt with anti-Semitism, anti-Israelism.
• 19:08 In fact our older son went out of his way to start a non-profit foundation to push back against
• 19:14 the replacement theology that's being pitched on campuses today.
• 19:18 This is a very important issue and we need to be aware of it.
• 19:21 We want our viewers to be aware of this
• 19:23 especially regarding the next generation.
• 19:27 It's interesting though that the next generation on our campuses in the U.S.
• 19:31 we're seeing that same mentality arising.
• 19:34 And that battle is raging on in these campuses.
• 19:36 That's right, that's a great concern.
• 19:38 I know that Christians United for Israel and some other organizations
• 19:41 have been very concerned about that
• 19:43 and they're trying to do work on the campuses.
• 19:45 I mentioned to one of the leaders of CUFI,
• 19:48 you got to stay in the Word,
• 19:50 you got to stay on what the Word of God says.
• 19:52 And that's one of the Jewish members of CUFI.
• 19:55 And he said, well we just got to go toe to toe.
• 19:58 I said, look the practical won't work.
• 19:59 It just won't work.
• 20:01 The Biblical is the way to go.
• 20:03 You got to give it your all with the Biblical.
• 20:06 And if that doesn't work
• 20:08 then hey, it's not going to work anyhow.
• 20:10 I think the attack on the teaching of predictive prophecy
• 20:13 is also a huge issue
• 20:15 and one that is a logical conclusion of sort of
• 20:20 sanitizing the Jewishness of the Bible out of Scripture.
• 20:24 But I think what is going on in a big way now and where it ends up is anyone's guess.
• 20:31 But I think it's a very disturbing trend.
• 20:34 The number of Christians that are turning against Israel is foolishness,
• 20:38 and they're heeding the Devil's message,
• 20:41 because God has still kept his promise,
• 20:45 the nation that blesses Israel is going to be blessed.
• 20:50 And I'd like to talk to all American Christians
• 20:53 Please.
• 20:54 and American patriots
• 20:56 and emphasis the fact, what is the secret to America's greatness?
• 21:01 The founding of the fathers?
• 21:03 Well yes, they had more Judeo-Christian principles
• 21:06 than any nation in the history of the world.
• 21:09 But American, and I say this as a patriot and a Christian,
• 21:13 America had been better to the Jew than any nation in the history of the world.
• 21:18 And God has blessed America better than any nation since the World War II.
• 21:24 That' right.
• 21:25 And if we take our hands off Israel it's going to be,
• 21:29 because the flip side of that
• 21:31 God, as you know said, I'll bless them that bless you
• 21:34 but I'll curse those that curse you.
• 21:36 And the reason that Great Britain is just a Third World Nation today;
• 21:42 they don't like to admit it but that's about what they are.
• 21:45 because they turned their backs on Israel.
• 21:47 And I pray to God America will never do that.
• 22:00 Hi, you know a good question to ask yourself might be
• 22:03 where else can you find solid Bible teaching
• 22:05 regarding prophecy for these last days?
• 22:08 Well, Zola Levitt Ministries
• 22:10 has been doing exactly that
• 22:11 for more than 35 years
• 22:12 and will continue with your support.
• 22:16 Your gifts of financial support
• 22:18 is what enables us to do this.
• 22:20 We want to remind you there's 3 ways...
• 22:22 Online...through the mail,
• 22:24 or just give us a phone call.
• 22:25 And thank you.
• 22:30 We're here on the edge
• 22:31 of the Shepherd's field
• 22:33 famous from the story
• 22:34 of Ruth and Boaz,
• 22:36 how the power of God brought together Jew and Gentile
• 22:39 in the lineage of Yeshua .
• 22:41 This Jewish story was wound together with a Gentile forebear, Ruth, of Yeshua .
• 22:48 And that's what God is trying to do today
• 22:50 is to bring genuine peace to this area.
• 22:52 Right, we're here in Bethlehem.
• 22:55 It used to be predominantly Christian
• 22:57 but now it's really...
• 22:59 Muslims are pressing.
• 23:01 And they're pressing to take over what God has intended from the beginning
• 23:05 that this would be a birthing place of his sovereignty.
• 23:08 What happens in the Middle East is that
• 23:10 people try to fix it in their natural mind.
• 23:12 They try to eat from the knowledge of good and evil.
• 23:14 They try to have a peace plan without the Prince of Peace.
• 23:17 And there will be no peace in the Middle East without the Prince of Peace.
• 23:22 And there will be no solution without Jesus our Messiah.
• 23:26 You see, there's a way that seems right to a man
• 23:29 but the end thereof is death.
• 23:31 And when man starts calling good evil
• 23:34 and evil good,
• 23:35 it says in Isaiah 5
• 23:37 Well then we fall off the path
• 23:39 that God has for us.
• 23:40 And what God wants for us is to understand
• 23:44 that he has a sovereign plan
• 23:46 and that he had intended from all the beginning of man
• 23:49 to have a place to call his own,
• 23:51 a people to demonstrate his love eternal
• 23:55 no matter if they fall short of his covenants or not.
• 23:58 He has an eternal love and an eternal plan.
• 24:01 And we can't mess it up.
• 24:02 We can't get in the mix of it can we Myles?
• 24:04 Yeah, you know we have to recognize that this is a divine, inspired story.
• 24:09 The story of the promise of the Messiah.
• 24:12 And God chose, sovereignly chose the Jewish people,
• 24:16 the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
• 24:17 to bring that story through.
• 24:19 But in his mercy and his goodness he continually shows
• 24:22 pictures of grafting-in of those who are without
• 24:24 for the ultimate grafting that would come
• 24:27 when Yeshua born here in Bethlehem at this field
• 24:30 where the shepherds were watching,
• 24:32 looking for a Messiah,
• 24:33 looking over the sheep...waiting.
• 24:35 Looking for deliverance from Rome,
• 24:36 deliverance from oppression.
• 24:38 And I would say today that the oppression that people are suffering from
• 24:41 is not an occupation of one nation of another
• 24:45 but rather it's the occupation of the mind.
• 24:48 And that is what God is trying to liberate.
• 24:49 And when he comes in when we say yes,
• 24:51 whether we're Jewish or Arabic,
• 24:53 when we say yes then we change, transformation comes, and love blossoms.
• 24:58 And that's why this is such a significant place.
• 25:01 And what God is trying to do today here is to keep back
• 25:04 the force of replacement theology that is trying to displace his story.
• 25:09 Because his story includes the planting of the Jewish people in this Land
• 25:15 and in the raising up of Jew and Gentile together
• 25:18 to worship him and to look for his soon coming.
• 25:30 Bethlehem was an ancient Canaanite city
• 25:32 first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 35
• 25:36 when Jacob buried his wife there.
• 25:38 Not only that.
• 25:39 But we have the history of Ruth finding her Boaz
• 25:42 and the promise of the greater Boaz to come,
• 25:45 our Kinsman Redeemer.
• 25:46 Micah talks about it as the birthplace.
• 25:48 Correct, here we see in the Tanakh,
• 25:50 in the Hebrew Scriptures...
• 26:03 The promise of Messiah to be born in Bethlehem,
• 26:06 David's greater son, Yeshua , Jesus.
• 26:09 Yeah, you know...Jesus,
• 26:11 he was that bridge
• 26:13 to bring the Jews and the Gentiles together.
• 26:16 And we are always reaching, Myles
• 26:19 for the Arabs and the Christians, and the Jews
• 26:21 to see that one-new man expression.
• 26:24 We love our Arab Christian brothers and sisters.
• 26:27 We need to be praying for the Arab-Christians of Bethlehem.
• 26:30 They are under so much pressure to believe a lie
• 26:33 that it's the oppression of Israel that is their enemy
• 26:36 when the enemy is always the flesh and the works of the Devil
• 26:39 really trying to divide and to rob them from the blessing
• 26:43 of coming into the covenant of Abraham through Isaac.
• 26:46 Right, when we were filming in Bethlehem we even saw
• 26:48 some of the propaganda that's stated
• 26:51 so that when tourists come there
• 26:53 they think it's realities in their museum
• 26:56 and they are rewriting the history literally in Bethlehem.
• 26:59 But God's story remains forever, right?
• 27:02 It's right here and we know it and it's true
• 27:05 and I know our listeners do to.
• 27:07 And so that's why we always end our program by reminding you,
• 27:11 especially today as you're praying about the people
• 27:14 of Bethlehem, about the Christians there,
• 27:16 our Arab cousins who we love,
• 27:18 Remember...
• 27:19 Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim .
• 27:20 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
