Caption transcript for Times of the Signs (2017): “The Heavens Declare” (6/8)

• 00:04 Hi, I'm David Hart.
• 00:05 We welcome you to Zola Levitt Presents.
• 00:07 And I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 00:09 Today on our series "Times of the Signs"
• 00:12 We'll be discussing the fact that we
• 00:13 need to be looking up to the sky
• 00:16 for the coming signs of Yeshua.
• 00:17 That's right.
• 00:18 God sent Noah a rainbow.
• 00:20 An he also made the sun stand still for Joshua.
• 00:24 That's right.
• 00:25 More about all of that coming up.
• 01:26 Shalom and welcome to our program, I'm Myles Weiss
• 01:28 and I'm Katharine Weiss.
• 01:29 Welcome to our series "Times of the Signs".
• 01:32 The heavens are telling us the time that we're in.
• 01:35 Yeah, really.
• 01:36 We are seeing so much controversy and excitement
• 01:37 about the Blood Moons,
• 01:39 about signs in the heavens.
• 01:40 It makes me feel very small.
• 01:42 It reminds me of Job 38.
• 01:44 Job has a controversy with God
• 01:46 and God asks him...
• 01:52 And I feel like that,
• 01:53 that we are all reaching for something.
• 01:55 I'm glad that people are looking in the Word to find out what God is saying.
• 01:59 And I love that these moons are lining up with the feasts Myles.
• 02:02 I mean, God is speaking to us from the heavens.
• 02:05 The heavens declare the Glory of God.
• 02:08 And people are beginning to say,
• 02:10 what do these things mean?
• 02:11 And we are going to take a deeper look in our interview.
• 02:14 But before that, you know we prophesy in part
• 02:17 and we know in part.
• 02:19 The only thing that we know for sure is Jesus.
• 02:21 He's coming, and he will settle all the prophecies,
• 02:24 he will settle all of the controversies.
• 02:26 And that's part of the wonder of following him.
• 02:29 Our desire is that you would look in the Word
• 02:31 and see for yourself.
• 02:33 Out guest today, Mark Hitchcock, is a Bible prophecy expert
• 02:37 and he's going to talk to us about the meaning of the Blood Moons.
• 02:40 So let's go to Mark.
• 02:43 There's something that's known as a Blood Moon.
• 02:45 And really a Blood Moon is just basically a lunar eclipse.
• 02:49 It's when the earth comes between the sun
• 02:53 and the moon is eclipsed during that period of time.
• 02:56 It kind of turns a reddish hue or kind of an orange hue
• 03:00 and so it's called "The Blood Moon".
• 03:01 So it's a fairly common phenomenon
• 03:04 when you have a lunar eclipse.
• 03:06 But what happened in 2014/2015 is you had what is called a "Lunar Tetrad"
• 03:11 where you had 4 of these Blood Moons in succession
• 03:14 that fell on Jewish Feast days.
• 03:38 So many saw this as a great sign in the heavens
• 03:42 because there has been some times in the past
• 03:45 when significant events happened for Israel.
• 03:48 Whenever people look at the Blood Moons
• 03:50 one of the things that they point out is
• 03:52 this a great cosmic sign, a great cosmic portent;
• 03:54 something is happening.
• 03:56 And it really deals with the nation of Israel
• 03:59 because these Blood Moons are happening on these Feast days.
• 04:01 But the difficulty with that
• 04:03 is these Blood Moons that occurred in 2014/2015
• 04:06 only the last one on September 28th of 2015
• 04:09 is even visible in Israel.
• 04:11 Now some will respond to that and say,
• 04:13 well with 24/7 news today
• 04:15 and satellites and all the things we have
• 04:17 people can see it on television.
• 04:19 But it seems odd to me that the people there in the place
• 04:24 that this is supposed to be a portent for,
• 04:26 that they don't even see it with their own eyes.
• 04:28 See, that seems strange to me.
• 04:30 Because they'll go back and point to things
• 04:32 like the Star appearing to the Wise Men or things.
• 04:34 But they actually saw it.
• 04:36 And so to me, making this great sign for the nation of Israel
• 04:40 when they could see only one of the four seems odd to me.
• 04:44 So when things like this happen I think it's easy
• 04:46 for prophesies like this to gain traction
• 04:48 because people kind of have this sense already,
• 04:51 a collective sense that something big's about to happen.
• 04:54 But when we look at the Bible and what it says
• 04:58 in the few places in the end times where it mentions
• 05:00 that the moon turning into blood;
• 05:02 first of all it's not even clear in those passages
• 05:05 that it's talking about a lunar eclipse.
• 05:07 It may be that this is a supernatural event
• 05:10 that God is making the moon turn to blood.
• 05:14 So it may not be some natural occurrence
• 05:15 but a supernatural event.
• 05:17 The other problem is the places it's referred to
• 05:19 like in Joel chapter 2
• 05:21 and Acts chapter 2 it quotes Joel.
• 05:24 In Matthew 24 it mentions
• 05:26 that the sun won't give its light
• 05:28 and the moon won't shine.
• 05:29 It doesn't mention the moon turning to blood there.
• 05:31 And over in Revelation Chapter 6
• 05:35 it mentions the moon turning to blood.
• 05:37 All of those passages at least in my understanding in the context
• 05:40 are referring to events during the future time of the 7 year tribulation
• 05:44 either at the middle of it
• 05:46 in the case of Revelation Chapter 6
• 05:48 or at the end of it
• 05:50 in the case of I think of Joel Chapter 2
• 05:53 or in Matthew Chapter 24.
• 05:55 Because in Matthew 24 it says,
• 06:01 And so if we put those passages in their context
• 06:05 it can't be referring to events in 2014/2015
• 06:08 because we're not even in the tribulation yet.
• 06:25 You know Ecclesiastes 1:9
• 06:27 tells us [Speaking Hebrew]
• 06:33 And just today we see the same battle
• 06:37 that we saw in the times of Elijah and throughout the Bible
• 06:40 between those who will follow the One True God
• 06:42 and every other thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God.
• 06:46 For example, right now there's a lot of attention being paid
• 06:49 to the Blood Moons and the signs in the heavens.
• 06:52 And that's a good thing
• 06:53 because the dialogue is now off the Mayan Calendar and off of date setting
• 06:57 and looking at the Bible to see
• 07:00 what does Scripture say about what the heavens declare?
• 07:03 And the fact is God does speak through heavenly signs and wonders.
• 07:07 Think about this.
• 07:09 In the Tanakh , in the Hebrew Scriptures
• 07:11 what we call the Older Testament
• 07:13 we have the sign of the rainbow given to Noah in Genesis 9,
• 07:16 we have the sun standing still for Joshua so he
• 07:19 can complete the battle before him.
• 07:24 God uses signs in the heavens
• 07:26 to speak to us about what he's doing,
• 07:29 where he is, where he's going,
• 07:31 and what he's asking of us.
• 07:33 Even in Isaiah in Chapter 38,
• 07:37 The sundial went backwards
• 07:39 and gave Hezekiah extra time to live
• 07:42 in order to complete his tasks here on the earth.
• 07:46 And we know that God aligns the calendar
• 07:49 in such a way as to present " moadim ", "special times" for us to meet with him.
• 07:55 So there's something about the sun, the moon and the stars, signs in the heavens.
• 08:00 and here on the top of the Carmel range we know that
• 08:04 Elijah fought the prophets of Baal
• 08:06 because it was here in this area that
• 08:09 the attack came against the purposes of God.
• 08:13 And God won that battle
• 08:16 just as he wants to win that battle in your life today.
• 08:43 Our resource this week...
• 08:44 the series "Times of the Signs" on DVD
• 08:47 Myles and Katharine Weiss encourage believers
• 08:50 to look beyond the troubling prophetic signs of our day
• 08:53 and live in growing expectation of our Messiah's return.
• 08:56 In this 8 program series topics include...
• 09:04 ...and more.

• 09:12 Kirsten - For many a trip to the Holy Land
• 09:15 is the dream of a lifetime.
• 09:17 The Bible truly comes alive as you see the sites
• 09:20 where so many biblical events happened.
• 09:23 Where the teaching is always from a Messianic perspective.
• 09:26 Come on a Zola tour in the spring to see Israel and Petra
• 09:30 or in the fall to add a cruise to Greece and Ephesus.
• 09:34 See the land of the Bible for yourself
• 09:37 Contact us to reserve your dream of a lifetime.
• 09:42 As we're looking at these signs in the heavens
• 09:45 we know that God is speaking.
• 09:46 But it's interesting to note that Satan also uses signs
• 09:50 in order to distract people, to keep them away from God.
• 09:53 So let's go back to Mark Hitchcock
• 09:55 as he explains this further.
• 09:59 People have always looked up into the heavens
• 10:01 and looked for signs there.
• 10:02 And God created the heavens with such order
• 10:04 and the constellations and these
• 10:06 various things with such order
• 10:09 that people can navigate by this.
• 10:11 Now I can't do that
• 10:12 but people that know how to do it
• 10:14 can navigate very well by that.
• 10:16 And so all of this order that God created and the beauty of it
• 10:19 Satan has come in through false religion
• 10:22 and has perverted what God has created.
• 10:24 And so the order of all of that
• 10:26 then has led people to take all of that
• 10:29 and to worship it,
• 10:30 to worship the creature rather than the Creator,
• 10:34 the creation rather than the Creator
• 10:36 and come up with all kinds of ideas.
• 10:38 In fact, all the way back at the Tower of Babel.
• 10:41 The statement there, let us build a tower that will reach into the heavens.
• 10:46 And I don't think they really thought they were going to
• 10:48 reach a tower that would go all the way to heaven.
• 10:50 But the idea there is that they
• 10:51 would reach this tower into the heavens.
• 10:53 And the word "Babel" there in the Akkadian language
• 10:56 you had the idea of the Gate of God.
• 10:58 I think this would invite the gods to come down
• 11:01 and to be with them and they could commune with the gods.
• 11:04 And so then when God came down and confounded the language;
• 11:07 which it's beautiful there in the passage it says,
• 11:09 And God said, let us go down
• 11:13 and see what's happening here.
• 11:15 It's like man is thinking he's building this massive tower
• 11:18 and it's so puny God has to come down from heaven just to see it.
• 11:21 And it confounds the language
• 11:22 and people are scattered all over the earth.
• 11:24 And they took this false religion with them.
• 11:27 And that's why in Revelation Chapter 17
• 11:29 it talks about Babylon the Harlot,
• 11:31 the Mother it says of all the abominations of the earth.
• 11:37 And so all this false religion, all this harlotry.
• 11:39 So it was all scattered.
• 11:41 And really what we see in all the different places of the earth
• 11:43 is just kind of a different form really of the same thing.
• 11:46 And it all involves the Zodiac and constellations
• 11:50 and worshipping the heavens.
• 11:52 And there's a lot of barbaric things
• 11:54 that go along with all that type of religion.
• 11:56 So what God creates Satan comes along
• 11:59 and he counterfeits and he uses it to deceive people.
• 12:02 Well Babylon is the second most mentioned city in the Bible.
• 12:06 The City of Jerusalem is mentioned about 800 times.
• 12:09 Babylon is mentioned almost 300 times.
• 12:11 And many have pointed out; I think it's beautiful that
• 12:14 it's like Jerusalem is God's City
• 12:17 and Babylon is man's city.
• 12:19 Because it's there you have this first rebellion
• 12:21 against God under the leadership
• 12:23 of one man of Nimrod.
• 12:25 And then God comes and scatters people all over the face of the earth.
• 12:28 And it's as if Satan is the master globalist really in some ways.
• 12:32 And he's been working inexorably since that time
• 12:36 to bring the world back to one man, the whole world together.
• 12:40 And it's fascinating with the globalism that we see today.
• 12:44 That's exactly what's happening.
• 12:45 The world is shrinking back down to where
• 12:47 it's going to be one world
• 12:49 and there'll be one man in the end ruling the world,
• 12:51 the anti-Christ.
• 12:52 And I hold the view that Babylon will be rebuilt.
• 12:55 The city in Iraq will be rebuilt.
• 12:56 So man's city will actually rise again.
• 12:59 And there's a lot of reasons for that
• 13:02 But one of them just simply is the Book of Revelation
• 13:05 is the unveiling; it's the apocalypse.
• 13:08 It's not to hide anything.
• 13:10 It mentions Babylon the great city several times there in the book.
• 13:14 And so I take that literally.
• 13:15 And so I think Babylon...
• 13:17 one person I read years ago said,
• 13:19 Babylon was the cradle of civilization
• 13:22 and it's the grave of civilization.
• 13:24 It's like everything in the Bible comes full circle.
• 13:27 You have Genesis 10 and 11
• 13:29 where Babylon is this first city that's built by Nimrod after the flood,
• 13:33 and the Tower of Babel.
• 13:34 And then you come to the end of the Book of Revelation
• 13:37 Chapter 17 and 18 you have Babylon again.
• 13:40 And here's something that's fascinating.
• 13:43 If you take Revelation 17 and 18
• 13:46 there are 42 verses in those two Chapters.
• 13:49 And then there's a verse in Chapter 16
• 13:51 and a verse in Chapter 14 that mention Babylon.
• 13:53 That's 44 verses.
• 13:56 And if you take Chapter 19 verses 1 to 6
• 13:59 which is heaven rejoicing over the destruction of Babylon,
• 14:02 that's 6 more verses.
• 14:03 That's 50 verses.
• 14:05 And there are only 404 verses in the Book of Revelation
• 14:08 So about 1/8th of the Book is about Babylon.
• 14:11 And so that's kind of a good Bible trivia point.
• 14:14 What's the most mentioned topic in the Book of Revelation?
• 14:16 It's Babylon.
• 14:18 So whatever it is, it must be very important.
• 14:20 And I take Babylon to be this final great city in the world that's rebuilt - Babylon.
• 14:24 It's this religious, economic system that goes along with that
• 14:29 that God is going to ultimately destroy.
• 14:31 And then you go to Chapter 21
• 14:33 and you have the New Jerusalem.
• 14:35 It's God's City.
• 14:36 Man's city is destroyed
• 14:38 and it comes full circle then
• 14:39 to God's City.
• 14:40 So it is beautiful they way Babylon
• 14:42 kind of book ends the Bible.
• 14:44 And how God...obviously the book is inspired,
• 14:47 that God is the greatest Writer of all,
• 14:49 how he brings everything around full circle for us in the end.
• 14:53 And it ends with God's City,
• 14:56 with the Heavenly City, the New Jerusalem
• 14:59 which is the City that we want to live for now in our lives.
• 15:20 Because of the sentimentality
• 15:22 that so many people have about the Holy Land
• 15:24 they believe that everything in Israel
• 15:26 has always been God-ward,
• 15:28 has always been pure and has a sanctification in it.
• 15:31 But the fact is that there are many places
• 15:34 where the so-called "high places" where the Israelites
• 15:38 would go to worship that which was not of God
• 15:40 including signs in the heavens
• 15:41 and the signs in the sun, moon and the stars.
• 15:44 Moses warned us about this.
• 15:46 In Deuteronomy 4:19,
• 16:08 What a clear distinction between understanding
• 16:12 the beauty of creation that God speaks through the heavens
• 16:15 but that he never intended us to worship anything that is seen
• 16:20 but only He, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
• 16:23 and his Mashiach Yeshua .
• 16:25 It's such a different story.
• 16:27 Just as we saw in the older testament
• 16:29 the signs in the heavens,
• 16:31 we see the same thing that God speaks through these things
• 16:34 in the B'rit Hadeshah , in "The New Testament".
• 16:36 Think about this.
• 16:37 In Matthew 2, verse 2,
• 16:48 They weren't worshipping the star,
• 16:50 they were following the star
• 16:51 to point to the King of Kings and the LORD of Lords.
• 16:55 (Speaking Hebrew) That's Yeshua.
• 16:58 Think about the transfiguration on the mountain in Matthew 17,
• 17:04 where the disciples saw the face of Jesus
• 17:12 But who is to be worshipped?
• 17:13 Is it the sign?
• 17:14 Or is it the Sign Maker?
• 17:16 It is Yeshua who we worship.
• 17:18 Conversely at the Cross on the day of the crucifixion
• 17:22 a supernatural darkness
• 17:24 came over the earth
• 17:27 We see this at the time that Yeshua was giving up his life for you and for me
• 17:33 a supernatural darkness came over the earth.
• 17:36 Another sign that points to the Cross,
• 17:39 that points to the sacrifice of the Son of God.
• 17:43 And so we that all these signs, the moon, the stars, the heavens;
• 17:46 they're all about pointing to the Sign Maker,
• 17:49 the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
• 17:52 I think about the Apostle Paul, Rav Shaul, The Rabbi Saul
• 17:57 on the way to Damascus
• 17:58 how he was knocked down by a sign from the heavens
• 18:01 and heard the voice of the LORD speaking to him, in Acts 9,
• 18:06 "Saul, Saul why do you persecute me?"
• 18:08 and set him on the path of following his Messiah
• 18:12 and teaching all of us about the Jewishness of the Gospel
• 18:16 and contextualizing it for the whole world
• 18:18 and helping to open the Gospel to the Gentile world.
• 18:22 I'm grateful today
• 18:23 even though there are still high places in Israel
• 18:26 there are high places in the world,
• 18:28 there are places where people are being drawn away
• 18:30 to worship that which is not kosher,
• 18:33 that which is not of the LORD.
• 18:35 We see even nearby here
• 18:36 there's a Stonehenge like area
• 18:38 Gilgal Refa'im ,
• 18:40 which is a high place
• 18:43 where worship was going up to the creation itself.
• 18:46 Those things still exist
• 18:48 and they still are being shown again
• 18:51 in modern ways in our world
• 18:52 where we're constantly being drawn away by distraction
• 18:56 to look at things other than the face of God.
• 18:59 But thanks be to Him
• 19:02 that He is able to call us out of darkness into the Light of His dear Son
• 19:08 and set us on the path where we recognize He is (speaking Hebrew)
• 19:13 "The Way, The Truth, and The Life."

• 20:50 In Matthew Chapter 24 it's talking about
• 20:52 all the signs that will come
• 20:54 before the LORD Jesus returns to the earth.
• 20:56 And Jesus gives this long list of signs.
• 20:58 I always think it's interesting
• 21:00 when people say we shouldn't be looking for signs.
• 21:01 But when Jesus' disciples said
• 21:03 what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?
• 21:05 He didn't say, well don't worry about it.
• 21:06 He gave this long litany of signs.
• 21:08 But it's fascinating there at the end it says...
• 21:14 What is that sign?
• 21:15 I think it may be something
• 21:17 that happens in the heavens
• 21:19 that is the final portent if you will
• 21:21 that Jesus is coming.
• 21:23 It's interesting, it says in Revelation 1:7
• 21:30 And some have wondered
• 21:32 well if Jesus is coming on one side of the earth
• 21:34 how will people on the other side of the earth see him?
• 21:36 Now Jesus could reflect out around the earth or whatever.
• 21:40 But Dr. John Walvoord who taught at Dallas Seminary
• 21:43 for many years, the President there.
• 21:45 He used to say that's it's possible that the Second Coming of Jesus would last 24 hours.
• 21:49 It will be a long procession as Jesus comes.
• 21:53 And the armies are gathered there at Armageddon
• 21:55 and there's this long procession.
• 21:57 And it could be that the sign of the Son of Man in the heavens
• 22:00 is the beginning of that.
• 22:03 Just - they look out at the heavens and they see
• 22:05 this sign of the Son of Man that He's coming
• 22:08 and then it's this kind of procession that takes place
• 22:11 till He then finally comes and then arrives on the earth.
• 22:14 But I don't think we can be dogmatic about what that particular sign is.
• 22:17 But there's something that will be a unique sign
• 22:21 that Jesus is returning back to the earth for His Second Coming.
• 22:25 Whatever it is, it must be monumental,
• 22:28 it must be an unbelievable sign
• 22:31 that will capture the attention of the whole earth
• 22:33 that Jesus has returned.
• 22:47 The story of Elijah is
• 22:49 such a profound picture
• 22:50 of the battle that we have today.
• 22:52 He was fighting the natural and the spirit.
• 22:54 Our battle is in the spirit.
• 22:56 It's in the heavenlies.
• 22:57 But the battle is still the same.
• 22:59 It's between the One True God
• 23:01 and all the other distractions and false gods
• 23:05 that are extant in the earth today.
• 23:08 Here we are on the traditional spot of Elijah.
• 23:11 And this is where the Prophet Elijah
• 23:13 challenged the prophets of Baal.
• 23:15 And he didn't just do it for his own name,
• 23:17 but he did so that the people of Israel
• 23:20 would turn their hearts back to the One True God.
• 23:24 He took a stand.
• 23:26 And he said, let's see whose God is God.
• 23:29 And the prophets of Baal, they did what they could.
• 23:33 They started cutting themselves and bleeding
• 23:35 and we see a lot of that today with the false worship of false gods.
• 23:40 But he built and altar.
• 23:42 And not only did he build an altar with 12 stones,
• 23:45 representing the 12 tribes of Israel,
• 23:48 But he poured water on that sacrifice.
• 23:51 He went beyond that which is natural
• 23:53 and he poured water three times on that sacrifice.
• 23:57 And then he said to the people of Israel,
• 24:00 Draw near, draw near to God.
• 24:04 And every time we see an altar
• 24:06 it's for us to turn our hearts back to God.
• 24:08 It's not for the lifting up of Elijah or anything,
• 24:11 because he was a man of like passion.
• 24:13 You know we'll find out later in the story
• 24:15 after Jezebel knew that God had conquered
• 24:18 and brought fire down and licked up the altar
• 24:21 and demonstrated that He was the True God.
• 24:24 And then he slew the false prophets.
• 24:26 Then Elijah was a little scared of Jezebel,
• 24:28 said I'm going to do what you do to my prophets,
• 24:30 I'm going to do it to you.
• 24:31 He runs to a cave.
• 24:33 And you know it's so funny
• 24:35 because it's just like we are.
• 24:36 It's just like we are.
• 24:38 But at the same time Myles there's something in this
• 24:40 about being in the cave.
• 24:42 You know it says that he was in the cave
• 24:44 and he was afraid of Jezebel
• 24:45 and there was these signs that came to him.
• 24:48 There was the wind,
• 24:49 there was the earthquake,
• 24:51 and there was the fire.
• 24:53 But God wasn't in any of them.
• 24:55 But He was in the still...small...voice.
• 24:57 That's good.
• 24:59 Because it's the Word of God that takes us to the end.
• 25:01 And this is why we do this program,
• 25:03 to instill in you that the foundation stone who Jesus is
• 25:08 and the Word of God that will take us to the end.
• 25:11 We're not followers of signs,
• 25:12 we're followers of our Messiah.
• 25:14 That's good.
• 25:15 It's really true you know
• 25:16 that this is the season where,
• 25:19 in fact in this whole series
• 25:22 we're hoping that the net affect
• 25:23 of this entire series
• 25:25 is that you will be listening
• 25:26 for that still small voice,
• 25:28 that you will be looking to follow
• 25:30 the Sign Maker and not the signs.
• 25:32 And that's what this area speaks of
• 25:34 that we can draw close to the LORD
• 25:36 and have victory in our day
• 25:38 just as Elijah did in his.
• 25:56 Matthew 24:24 Yeshua warns us about these days.
• 26:00 He warns us about the end times
• 26:02 and false Messiahs and false promises and claims.
• 26:05 We need to discerning, we need to be in prayer.
• 26:07 we need to be staying faithful to the Word
• 26:09 and be watching for the real coming of the LORD.
• 26:12 We're in a time of transition aren't we?
• 26:14 Yeah we are
• 26:15 even like it was in Luke 2
• 26:16 when Simeon and Anna saw the consolation of the ages.
• 26:20 They saw in that little baby the Messiah that would take away the sins of the world.
• 26:25 And so we are living in this transition period,
• 26:28 the time of Yeshua coming towards the Kingdom that is coming
• 26:32 that will be forever and ever and ever.
• 26:36 I'm looking forward to that day
• 26:38 and I know you are too Myles.
• 26:40 I am.
• 26:41 And we're just so grateful for your gifts of funds

• 26:45 from the Land of Israel,
• 26:47 talking about current events,
• 26:48 and talking to you about where we are in time.
• 26:51 We are in the Times of the Signs.
• 26:58 Deuteronomy 4:15 tells us not to
• 27:01 worship the sun moon and stars
• 27:03 but rather Him.
• 27:04 That's right.
• 27:05 I like Psalms 19,
• 27:06 the one that says,
• 27:08 "The heaven's declare the Glory of God."
• 27:10 We sing that at Christmas time
• 27:11 in Handel's "'Messiah"
• 27:12 Just about every year, that's right.
• 27:13 Wonderful words and such
• 27:15 encouraging words for us today.
• 27:16 And we leave you today with this wonderful prayer,
• 27:19 Sha'lu Shalom Yerushalayim
