Caption transcript for Zola’s Highlights: “Friends of the Rabbi” (4/4)

• 00:09 I WILL BRING YOU OUT OF THE NATIONS WHERE YOU ARE SCATTERED.
• 00:12 BEHOLD I AM COMING WITH THE CLOUDS AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE ME.
• 00:19 AND YOU WILL LOOK UPON ME WHOM YOU HAVE PIERCED AND FINALLY SAY, BARUCH ABBA B'SHEM ADONAI.
• 00:29 BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
• 00:38 DR. JEFFERY SEIF AND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:44 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:46 JEFFERY SEIF WITH MY FRIEND, ASSOCIATE, ETC...
• 00:49 SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:50 SHALOM
• 00:51 WELCOME TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:53 WE'LL BE LOOKING BACK AT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS
• 00:55 FROM ZOLA'S LATTER YEARS IN HIS MINISTRY.
• 00:58 I THINK YOU'LL ENJOY IT, JEFF.
• 01:00 I KNOW I HAVE.
• 01:01 THERE'S A STORY THAT HE TAUGHT THAT HE PUT ON THE MAP.
• 01:05 IN THE BIBLE JESUS SAID, "IF YOU HAD LISTENED TO MOSES,
• 01:08 YOU HAD LISTENED TO ME, FOR MOSES SPOKE OF ME.
• 01:11 THE QUESTION IS HOW?
• 01:13 PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAPS, ENTER INTO A NEW WORLD,
• 01:17 GO BACK TO THE OLD TESTAMENT AND LEARN HOW IT'S FULFILLED IN THE NEW.
• 01:21 HOW THE OLD TESTAMENT'S THE ARM, THE NEW TESTAMENT'S THE HAND,
• 01:25 AND TOGETHER IT TELLS A STORY OF REACHING DOWN.
• 01:27 YOU'RE GONNA SEE IT, YOUR GONNA LOVE IT, AND WE'RE GONNA DO IT NOW.
• 01:32 ZOLA: THE LORD TOLD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO HONOR 7 HOLY CELEBRATIONS EACH YEAR
• 01:36 ZOLA: INVOLVING 3 JOURNEYS TO JERUSALEM.
• 01:39 ZOLA: EACH FESTIVAL WOULD BE UNIQUELY FULFILLED IN THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
• 01:48 SHADOWS OF THINGS TO COME.
• 01:56 BEFORE CALENDARS AND CLOCKS, ISRAEL LIVED BY THESE FEASTS.
• 02:00 YOU REALLY CAN KEEP A YEARLY SCHEDULE WITHOUT A CALENDAR BY WATCHING THE MOON.
• 02:06 NOW GOD SAID HE PUT THE HEAVENLY BODIES UP THERE FOR SIGNS AND FOR SEASONS.
• 02:09 WELL PASSOVER OCCURS ON THE 14TH DAY OF THE 1ST MONTH IN:
• 02:15 AND THAT IS THE 1S FULL MOON OF SPRING.
• 02:17 NOW IF YOU SEE THAT MOON YOU KNOW THAT UNLEAVENED BREAD,
• 02:19 IT'S GIVEN IN THE NEXT VERSE,
• 02:21 STARTS THE NEXT NIGHT, SO THE NEXT NIGHT YOU CELEBRATE THAT.
• 02:25 1ST FRUITS IS THE SUNDAY AFTER
• 02:27 AND YOU WOULD CELEBRATE THAT EASILY.
• 02:30 THEN COUNT 50 DAYS TO PENTECOST,
• 02:33 SO YOU COUNT THOSE DAYS AND DO PENTECOST.
• 02:35 THEN THE NEXT FEAST,
• 02:37 THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS IS ON THE 1ST DAY OF THE 7TH MONTH.
• 02:41 WELL THAT'S AN EASY ONE TO SPOT, THE 7TH NEW MOON OF THE YEAR.
• 02:44 THAT'S EASY TO SEE.
• 02:45 AND THEN A DAY OF ATONEMENT 10 DAYS LATER
• 02:48 AND THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES 5 DAYS AFTER THAT.
• 02:51 IT'S GIVEN THAT WAY IN LEVITICUS CHAPTER 23.
• 02:53 IF YOU COULD REMEMBER THAT MUCH YOU HAD A SORT OF A CALENDAR FOR THE WHOLE YEAR
• 02:57 AND YOU COULD MEET GOD IN TIME.
• 03:00 AND THAT WAS THE WAY THEY MET GOD.
• 03:03 THE FEASTS WERE SORT OF LODGINGS FOR TRAVELERS.
• 03:06 PLACES WHERE YOU'D STOP AND THINK.
• 03:09 AND THAT CHRIST FULFILLED ALL THESE, I SAID BEFORE WE WOULD DISCUSS IT, IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
• 03:14 HE WAS CRUCIFIED ON PASSOVER, BURIED ON UNLEAVENED BREAD THE NEXT NIGHT,
• 03:18 ROSE ON 1ST FRUITS THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY, SENT THE HOLY SPIRIT AT PENTECOST 50 DAYS LATER,
• 03:24 THEN THE LONG SUMMER GOES BY AND I GUESS HE WILL RETURN ON THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS.
• 03:29 I SAY THAT, BUT I DON'T WANNA EITHER CONTRADICT THE DOCTRINE ON IMMINENCY,
• 03:34 THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER SUBJECT,
• 03:36 BUT IF HE DOES WHAT HE DID 4 TIMES BEFORE
• 03:38 HE WILL RETURN WITH THE TRUMPET ON THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS,
• 03:40 THAT WOULD BE THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH.
• 03:43 AND THEN THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 10 DAYS LATER ON THE CALENDAR
• 03:46 HE WILL RETURN IN THE 2ND COMING AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE WILL LOOK UPON HIM
• 03:52 WHOM THEY'VE PIERCED AND MOURN FOR HIM AS FOR AN ONLY SON,
• 03:56 ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 12, VERSE 10.
• 03:58 AND THEN...OR ROMANS CHAPTER 11, VERSE 26:
• 04:01 ALL OF ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED WHEN THE DELIVERER SHALL COME OUT OF ZION.
• 04:05 BY THE WAY HE'LL COME PRETTY MUCH RIGHT HERE.
• 04:06 IF I WERE STANDING HERE AND LOOK UP THAT HILL TO THE SUMMIT OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
• 04:10 IF IT WERE THE 2ND COMING I WOULD SEE HIM COME RIGHT OVER THAT HILL.
• 04:13 IT'S LIKE AN ISRAELI WHO I WAS WITNESSING TOO TOLD ME,
• 04:18 I SAID WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN YOU HEAR THAT THE MESSIAH'S STANDING ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 04:22 HE SAID, "I GUESS I'LL GO UP AND SAY SIR IS THIS YOUR 1ST TRIP TO ISRAEL."
• 04:26 THAT'S KIND OF A JOKE AND IT'S A SAD JOKE IN A WAY.
• 04:29 IT WOULD NOT BE HIS 1ST TRIP, IT WOULD BE HIS 2ND.
• 04:32 BUT ANYWAY HE WILL THEN ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM ON THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES
• 04:36 WHEN HIS TABERNACLE WILL BE AMONG US.
• 04:45 ZOLA: IT WAS PROBABLY HERE THAT MESSIAH SPENT THE LAST NIGHT WITH HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES.
• 04:53 THE PEOPLE HE SPENT THE MOST TIME ON EARTH WITH.
• 04:56 AND THESE 12 WERE SORT OF LIKE HIS SONS.
• 04:59 THEY WERE FOLLOWERS AND WE CAME HERE TO DISCUSS THE 12 SONS OF JACOB, THE TRIBAL FOUNDERS.
• 05:08 THE SONS OF ISRAEL (HEBREW) THESE FAMOUS SONS EACH OF WHOM FOUNDED A TRIBE OF ISRAEL.
• 05:14 YOU KNOW THE 12 FORMED THE NATION OF ISRAEL, BUT 4 OF THEM HAD GENTILE MOTHERS.
• 05:22 LET'S TAKE THE SCRIPTURE AS IT WAS WRITTEN.
• 05:24 THE MAIDS BILHAH AND ZILPAH WHO ATTENDED THE FAMILY OF JACOB, ALSO HAD 2 SONS EACH.
• 05:33 UNDER THE ISRAELI MODERN LAW THE RIGHT OF RETURN THEY COULDN'T EVEN IMMIGRATE HERE
• 05:40 AND THEY WERE FOUNDERS OF 4 OF THE TRIBES.
• 05:42 THE LAW HAS CHANGED TO THE OPPOSITE, BECAUSE OF SITUATION OF THE HOLOCAUST AND SO F0RTH,
• 05:48 THAT ONE HAS TO HAVE A JEWISH MOTHER TO BE CONSIDER A JEW
• 05:54 UNDER THE LAW OF THE RIGHT OF RETURN.
• 05:56 BUT IN ANY CASE THESE 12 CHANGED ISRAEL AND CHANGED THE WORLD
• 06:03 AND THE 12 DISCIPLES SORT OF THE SAME WAY.
• 06:07 12 IS A NUMBER THAT GOD USES IN THE SCRIPTURE, WE'RE GONNA COME TO THAT.
• 06:12 WELL ABRAHAM WAS QUITE A PERSON AND HIS GENEALOGIES ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
• 06:18 IN ACTS CHAPTER 7, VERSE 8 IT SAYS:
• 06:33 SO WE'RE SURE WE KNOW WHERE THEY COME IN HISTORY.
• 06:35 STARTING WITH ABRAHAM WE DATE PEOPLE,
• 06:38 WE GIVE GENEALOGIES THAT ARE CLEARLY BELONG TO THEIR TIME,
• 06:44 SO THAT WE KNOW WHO LIVED WHEN AND WHEN THEY ESTABLISHED WHAT THEY DID.
• 06:48 THE TRIBAL COMMUNITY WAS ONE WITH THE SAME COVENANT,
• 06:52 BUT THE 12 TRIBES WERE KIND OF INDEPENDENT FROM EACH OTHER.
• 06:56 A LITTLE LIKE, I GUESS AMERICAN STATES.
• 07:00 THEY HAD EACH THEIR OWN RULES AND SO ON, BUT THEY WERE A COHESIVE UNITY IN THE NATION.
• 07:06 12 IS THE NUMBER GOVERNMENT IN THE BIBLE.
• 07:10 THERE WERE 12 TRIBES, THERE WERE 12 SPIES, 12 JUDGES, 12 DISCIPLES,
• 07:15 12 TIMES 12,000 OF EACH OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
• 07:20 144,000 EVEN IN THE UPCOMING TRIBULATION
• 07:24 TO BE GOD'S TESTIFIERS IN THE EARTH.
• 07:27 WE CAN VIEW THE 12 TRIBES AS PEARLS OF GREAT PRICE.
• 07:32 THE GEM STONES ON THE HIGH PRIEST'S GARMENT INSCRIBED WITH THE NAMES OF THE 12 TRIBES.
• 07:37 THE FOUNDATION OF THE NEW JERUSALEM,
• 07:42 THE NAMES OF THE TRIBES ARE ON THE 12 PEARL GATES
• 07:44 IN REVELATION CHAPTER 21, VERSE 12, IT SAYS:
• 08:07 ISRAEL HAD MANY FAMOUS SONS.
• 08:10 WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT MANY CHRISTIAN EXPOSITORS LOOKED AT THE OLD TESTAMENT STORY
• 08:15 AND ENVISIONED THAT THEY WERE THE RESURRECTED SONS OF ISRAEL.
• 08:20 AND IN THAT SENSE THE CRUSADERS SAW THEMSELVES AS RESURRECTED DAVIDS
• 08:26 TO FIGHT GOD'S ENEMIES BEARING ARMS IN THE PROCESS.
• 08:30 I WONDER WHAT HE WHO SAID, "THAT MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD,"
• 08:34 WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT REPLACEMENT MOTIF?
• 08:37 I TEND TO NOT BE AS IMPRESSED BY THE IDEA, BUT MANY WERE.
• 08:41 I'M MORE SO IMPRESSED BY THOSE THAT LOVE GOD.
• 08:44 HIS SONS ARE HUMBLE AS IT SAYS, BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS.
• 08:47 WE'RE GONNA LEARN MORE ABOUT DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE
• 08:50 AS ZOLA TEACHES US ON THE CRUSADERS.
• 08:54 IN 1095 POPE URBAN THE 2ND DECREED THAT THE CENTER OF THE KNOWN WORLD,
• 08:58 JERUSALEM SHOULD BE FREE FROM MUSLIM CONTROL.
• 09:03 SPURRED BY RELIGIOUS FERVOR WARRIORS MARCH UN-EVADED ACROSS EUROPE TOWARDS THE HOLY LAND,
• 09:09 LEAVING DEATH AND DEVASTATION IN THEIR WAKE.
• 09:12 IN THE END UPWARDS OF 30,000 MUSLIMS AND JEWS WERE MASSACRED IN JERUSALEM ALONE.
• 09:19 THIS WAS CALLED A HOLY WAR.
• 09:22 THESE WERE THE CRUSADERS.
• 09:28 ZOLA: SO WHEN THEY PUT THE CROSS UP THERE, THEY PUT A CHRISTIAN CROSS ON A MUSLIM DOME,
• 09:31 ZOLA: ON ROMAN PILLARS, ON JEWISH LAND.
• 09:34 ZOLA: WELL THAT'S THE STORY OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 09:36 ZOLA: TODAY YOU CAN ALMOST SAY, HERE'S THE AL AQSA MOSQUE DOME OF THE ROCK, THE ARAB POLICE, THE WALK,
• 09:43 ZOLA: THE PEOPLE DIGGING UNDER THE PLATFORM,
• 09:45 ZOLA: AND THEN THERE'S THE JEWS WANTING TO MOVE UP AND PRAY AND SO ON.
• 09:49 ZOLA: IT'S STILL IN CONTENTION, IT'S STILL AN ISSUE,
• 09:52 ZOLA: AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEARLY 1,000 YEARS AGO.
• 09:55 ZOLA: BUT ANY HOW THEY MAINTAIN THEIR, THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, THEIR GARRISON THERE,
• 10:02 ZOLA: AND PROTECTED THAT DOME AS IF WERE A JEWISH TEMPLE.
• 10:05 ZOLA: NOW THE HOLY SEPULCHRE CHURCH THEY... IT IS A SITE OF THE LORD'S BURIAL
• 10:11 ZOLA: ALTHOUGH WE'RE NOT DEAD SURE, BUT IT'S A PRETTY GOOD SITE FOR IT AND WAS BUILT OVER,
• 10:15 ZOLA: I BELIEVE THE 4TH CENTURY AND THEN IMPROVED OVER TIME AND SO ON.
• 10:19 ZOLA: VERY OLD CHURCH.
• 10:21 ZOLA: IT WAS OLD WHEN THEY CRUSADERS CAME AND OF COURSE THEY THOUGHT OF IT AS A MOST HOLY SITE.
• 10:26 AND WHILE THE CRUSADERS ARE OFTEN FAULTED AND SHOULD BE FOR THE KILLING,
• 10:31 FOR THE WANT TO SLAUGHTER, FOR THE PLUNDER, AMONG THEM WERE TRUE BELIEVERS.
• 10:37 AND AMONG THOSE TRUE BELIEVERS WAS AN INDIVIDUAL NAMED BAXTER,
• 10:43 A BRITISH KNIGHT WHO WAS KNOWN AS THE HUMBLE KNIGHT.
• 10:46 WHY?
• 10:48 BECAUSE THE OTHER KNIGHTS THOUGHT IT A GOOD WORK
• 10:50 TO SLEEP INSIDE THE HOLY SEPULCHRE CHURCH NEAR THE TOMB OF THE LORD.
• 10:54 AND THEY DID THAT AT NIGHT AND THEY WENT INTO THAT.
• 10:57 ALSO IT WAS GOOD PROTECTION, BUT THEY WENT INTO THE STONE CHURCH
• 11:01 AND SLEPT AS CLOSE TO THE LORD'S GRAVE, OSTENSIVELY, AS THEY POSSIBLY COULD.
• 11:07 BUT BAXTER, THE HUMBLE KNIGHT, WOULD NOT SLEEP INSIDE THE CHURCH
• 11:11 AND FELT HE WAS NOT WORTHY TO SLEEP IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD
• 11:14 AND SO HE SLEPT OUTSIDE THE DOOR.
• 11:18 AND HIS TOMB IS STILL THERE OUTSIDE AS YOU COME INTO THE CHURCH
• 11:23 THERE'S A WOODEN PLATFORM THAT CAN BE LIFTED,
• 11:26 UNDER THAT IS A TOMB AND THE REAL BELIEVERS TOMB,
• 11:29 A CHRISTIAN IS BURIED IN FRONT OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE CHURCH.
• 11:36 MUSIC
• 11:49 JESUS HIMSELF DID NOT PICK FROM THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS AT ALL, BUT UNLEARNED, HUMBLE MEN.
• 11:55 I MEAN THEY COULDN'T BE MORE HUMBLE.
• 11:57 HE WAS A GALILEAN, JESUS AND HE WENT NOT TO JERUSALEM, INTO THE TEMPLE TO FIND DISCIPLES,
• 12:03 BUT TO THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 12:05 EVEN TO A TAX COLLECTOR IN MATTHEW'S CASE, A PUBLICAN.
• 12:08 HE PICKED JUST THE MEN WE WOULDN'T CHOOSE,
• 12:12 BUT HE WAS FULFILLING ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 4, VERSE 6.
• 12:16 WE QUOTE IT OFTEN.
• 12:17 JESUS TOOK IT VERY SERIOUSLY.
• 12:39 ZERUBBABEL NEEDED THE ENCOURAGEMENT
• 12:41 AND HE WAS THE ONE WHO LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE 2ND TEMPLE
• 12:44 AT A TIME WHEN THEY WERE AT WAR WITH THE SAMARITANS.
• 12:47 A TIME NOT UNLIKE TODAY WHEN THE JEWS ARE BUILDING THEIR LAND
• 12:50 AND WOULD LIKE TO BUILD THEIR TEMPLE
• 12:52 WHILE THEY WERE ALMOST AT WAR WITH THE SO CALLED PALESTINIANS,
• 12:57 THE ARABS IN THE LAND.
• 12:59 JESUS PICKED PLAIN MEN THAT WERE AS PLAIN AS EDISON, DISNEY, AND EINSTEIN TO MENTION 3 FAILURES.
• 13:08 WHY DO I SAY FAILURES?
• 13:09 THOMAS EDISON WHEN HE WAS A KID HIS TEACHERS TOLD HIS FAMILY,
• 13:13 THEY MAY AS WELL TAKE HIM OUT OF SCHOOL, HE WAS TOO STUPID TO LEARN.
• 13:16 WALT DISNEY WAS FIRED BY A NEWSPAPER BECAUSE HE JUST DIDN'T HAVE ORIGINAL IDEAS.
• 13:20 AND ALBERT EINSTEIN FAILED MATHEMATICS.
• 13:24 I MEAN, SOME MEN DEVELOP MORE SLOWLY, SOME ARE SO MUCH MORE BRILLIANT THEN THEIR TEACHERS,
• 13:29 THAT THE TEACHER CAN'T EVEN ESTIMATE WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY THEY HAVE THERE.
• 13:34 AND PERHAPS THAT'S WHAT JESUS WAS LOOKING FOR.
• 13:36 PERHAPS HE PERCEIVED IN ANDREW AND PETER AND MATTHEW AND SIMON AND ALL OF THE OTHERS,
• 13:43 A CERTAIN QUALITY THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED.
• 13:45 IN ANY CASE, THEY WENT FROM BEING COMMON TRADESMEN TO SPIRITUAL GIANTS.
• 13:50 THERE'S NO QUESTION IN THAT.
• 13:53 ONE OF ZOLA'S VERY FAVORITE PASTIMES WAS GOLF.
• 13:55 HE WOULD PLAY ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY.
• 13:58 IN FACT HE WOULD JOKE WITH ME AND SAY, "YOU KNOW REALLY I'M A GOLF PRO,
• 14:02 BUT IT HASN'T BEEN SO GOOD, SO I'M HAVING TO PREACH ON THE SIDE.
• 14:05 HE LOVED GOLF.
• 14:07 HE MADE 2 PROGRAMS CALLED, "THIS IS ISRAEL AND VOICES FROM ISRAEL."
• 14:12 IT GIVES A DIFFERENT LOOK AT ISRAEL THAT PEOPLE DON'T GET TO SEE EVERYDAY.
• 14:16 IT SHOWS ALL SORTS OF GOLFING, BEAUTIFUL MUSEUMS, AND ANOTHER LOOK AT ISRAEL.
• 14:22 HERE IT IS.
• 14:25 MUSIC
• 14:32 WE'RE ON A GOLF COURSE , THERE'S A WONDERFUL COUNTRY CLUB HERE.
• 14:35 THERE'S AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL PROFESSIONAL 18 HOLE GOLF COURSE
• 14:41 AND ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO HIT OUT OF SAND, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL COURSE TO LOOK AT.
• 14:46 THERE'S WATER, THERE'S BEAUTIFUL FAIRWAYS,
• 14:49 AND OH, THE TOWN BOASTS OF A ROMAN THEATRE ALSO WITH 3600 SEATS.
• 14:55 THEY USE ALL THE TIME FOR CONCERTS.
• 14:57 THE REVOLT OF 66 A.D, THE ONE THAT FINALLY ENDED UP
• 15:03 RAISING THE JERUSALEM TEMPLE STARTED HERE AT CAESAREA.
• 15:08 IT'S A FAMOUS PLACE.
• 15:10 THE MARMELUKES CAME HERE AND DESTROYED ROMAN STATUARY AND SO ON,
• 15:16 SO THAT A LOT OF THE ANCIENT RUINS HAVE BEEN DESECRATED.
• 15:19 THOSE WERE MUSLIMS FROM EGYPT WHO CAME HERE AFTER THE CRUSADES.
• 15:22 BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT CAESAREA IS THIS IS THE TOWN
• 15:28 WHICH BEGAN GENTILE SALVATION IN THE CHURCH AGE.
• 15:31 CORNELIUS, THE 1ST GENTILE WHO'S SALVATION IS RECORDED IN THE CHURCH AGE IS SAVED HERE
• 15:39 BY A SERMON, BY PETER WHEN HE CAME HERE
• 15:42 FROM JOPPA IN ACTS CHAPTER 10 THE THING IS RECORDED.
• 15:45 IT'S A KEY MOMENT IN SCRIPTURE WHEN THE BRETHREN AT JERUSALEM,
• 15:50 THE CHURCH FATHERS WHO OF COURSE WERE ALL JEWISH AT THAT POINT,
• 15:54 HEARD THAT HE'D WITNESSED TO GENTILES.
• 15:56 IT SAYS THEY WERE TAKEN ABACK.
• 15:59 AS A MATTER OF FACT THE JEWISH CHRISTIANS THAT CAME HERE WITH PETER,
• 16:03 IT SAYS IN THE SCRIPTURES, WERE ASTONISHED THAT:
• 16:08 PAUL WAS HERE FOR 2 YEARS, HE STOOD TRIAL HERE.
• 16:12 AND SINCE 1961, THIS HAS BEEN
• 16:15 A REAL TOURIST ATTRACTION IN OUR DAY.
• 16:17 THEY COME HERE TO PLAY GOLF, TO GET SUN, TO SWIM.
• 16:21 THERE'S BEAUTIFUL BEACHES ON THE MEDITERRANEAN, THERE'S GORGEOUS HOMES HERE, AND EXOTIC BAZARS.
• 16:26 THIS IS A JEWEL IN THE CROWN OF ISRAEL.
• 16:29 IT'S ALSO A PLACE THAT CNN AND THE NETWORKS DRIVE PAST EVERY DAY.
• 16:33 THEY CAN'T AVOID IT, THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN TEL AVIV
• 16:37 AND HAIFA PASSES IN PLAIN SITE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL HOMES,
• 16:40 THIS GOLF COURSE, THESE BROAD BOULEVARDS, AND BEAUTIFUL TREES AND FRUIT
• 16:45 AND ORCHARDS AND THEY NEVER EVER SHOW IT TO YOU.
• 16:48 SO WE CAME HERE TO SHOW YOU THAT THIS TOO IS ISRAEL.
• 16:56 AND HOW'S THE RECEPTION HERE?
• 16:59 WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVED SO WARMLY
• 17:02 BY OF COURSE MESSIANIC BELIEVERS,
• 17:04 CHRISTIANS WHO LIVE IN THE LAND ARE MINISTERING HERE,
• 17:07 BUT I WOULD SAY THAT PROBABLY ONE OF THE WARMEST RECEPTIONS WE'VE HAD,
• 17:11 HAD BEEN FROM THE ISRAELIS,THE JEWISH PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
• 17:15 THEY ALWAYS WANNA KNOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
• 17:17 ARE YOU FROM AMERICA?
• 17:19 RHETT: WHY ARE YOU HERE NOW?
• 17:20 RHETT: AREN'T YOU AFRAID?
• 17:22 AND THE KEY IS THAT WHEN THEY FIND OUT WE'RE HERE,
• 17:27 BECAUSE WE LOVE THEM AND AS I TELL EACH ONE OF THEM,
• 17:31 EVERYTHING THAT I HOLD DEAR AND PRECIOUS,
• 17:35 THE MOST PRECIOUS THINGS IN MY LIFE CAME FROM THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 17:39 AND THAT MY SAVIOR, YESHUA, IS A JEW THROUGH AND THROUGH,
• 17:45 AS WELL AS BEING GOD THE SON AND HE IS THE REASON I'M HERE, TO JUST SHOW HIS LOVE.
• 17:51 AND THEY RESPOND, THEY REALLY DO WARM UP.
• 17:54 I THINK PEOPLE IN AMERICA DON'T REALIZE HOW MANY BELIEVERS THERE REALLY ARE OVER HERE.
• 18:00 IT'S INCREDIBLE, IT REALLY IS.
• 18:02 WE'VE RUN INTO 3 TAXI DRIVERS THAT ARE MESSIANIC BELIEVERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN A DELIGHT.
• 18:11 IN FACT THEY'VE BEEN AFTER US TO GET TOGETHER FOR A GOOD OLD FASHION PRAYER MEETING,
• 18:16 WHICH WE HAD ONE PRAYER MEETING WITH THEM IN A LITTLE SHOP OVER AT ONE OF THE SECTIONS OF TOWN.
• 18:20 BUT THEY ARE A REFRESHING GROUP.
• 18:22 ZOLA: OH, YEAH.
• 18:23 IT'S A DELIGHT.
• 18:24 IT'S VERY INSPIRING TO BE HERE.
• 18:26 YOU FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
• 18:28 YOU KNOW THE MOST EXCITING AND THRILLING THING TO ME
• 18:30 IS WHAT GOD IS DOING RIGHT NOW IN THIS LAND.
• 18:33 THERE ARE THINGS HAPPENING HERE.
• 18:35 OH, YEAH.
• 18:36 IT IS EXCITING.
• 18:38 I THINK THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE JEWISH BELIEVERS IN THIS LAND THEN EVER BEFORE IN HISTORY
• 18:44 EXCEPT FOR THE 1ST CENTURY.
• 18:46 RHETT: I MAY BE WRONG ON MY STATISTICS THERE,
• 18:48 BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE'RE SEEING A REAL MOVE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AMONG THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 18:55 AS THEY TURN TO YESHUA.
• 18:56 IT'S INTERESTING, ONE STATISTIC THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME IS,
• 18:59 SOMEBODY...I DON'T KNOW HOW HE COUNTS THEM,
• 19:01 BUT THERE ARE 6,000 HE SAID, MESSIANIC BELIEVERS IN ISRAEL.
• 19:04 AND I STOPPED TO THINK, YOU KNOW AT PENTECOST, THEY HAD HALF THAT MANY.
• 19:08 AND THEN THEY CHANGED THE WORLD.
• 19:09 THAT'S RIGHT, AMEN.
• 19:10 LOOK AH, AMERICANS WOULD WANT ME TO ASK YOU,
• 19:14 AREN'T YOU AFRAID TO BE HERE FOR WHAT WE READ IN THE PAPER?
• 19:17 NOT AT ALL, NOT AT ALL.
• 19:19 HONESTLY, THERE IS SUCH A PEACE AND SERENITY HERE.
• 19:22 I KNOW THAT THERE ARE TROUBLOUS TIMES ALL OVER,
• 19:26 BUT I FEEL AS SAFE HERE AS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
• 19:29 AND OF COURSE I'M CONVINCED THAT THE ONLY SAFE PLACE TO BE IS IN THE CENTER OF THE WILL OF GOD.
• 19:34 AND WE KNOW WE'RE IN THAT.
• 19:36 WELL OK BROTHER, I APPRECIATE TALKING WITH YOU.
• 19:39 GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY.
• 19:41 WE PRAISE THE LORD FOR YOU ALL.
• 19:43 THANK YOU
• 19:49 THUS SAYETH THE LORD GOD:
• 19:51 "I SHALL GATHER YOU FROM THE PEOPLES
• 19:53 AND ASSEMBLE YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE YOU'VE BEEN SCATTERED.
• 19:56 AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 19:59 THE WILDERNESS AND THE DRY LAND SHALL BE GLAD,
• 20:03 THE DESERT SHALL REJOICE AND BLOSSOM AS THE ROSE.
• 20:06 YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD
• 20:09 WHEN I BRING YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL."
• 20:15 ISRAEL IS A LAND THAT IS MODERN AND AGELESS AT THE SAME TIME.
• 20:20 I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE COME TO US ON THE TOUR AND THEY SAY,
• 20:23 "WELL THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WHAT I'VE SEEN ON TV."
• 20:26 NO ISRAEL IS BEAUTIFUL.
• 20:28 LAKES, MOUNTAINS, DESERTS,
• 20:30 GORGEOUS, I LOVE IT.
• 20:32 YES AND WE LOVE TO SHOW IT.

• 21:22 OFF WE GO NOW WHEN HE DID A SERIES, "THE AGE OF TERROR," ANOTHER ON "REVELATION."
• 21:26 TO JERUSALEM WE GO WITH ZOLA AND OTHERS AS WE STUDY GOD'S WORD.
• 21:34 MUSIC
• 21:50 THESE DAYS INSTEAD OF THE LEVITICAL CHOIR
• 21:52 AND THE WONDERFUL SOUNDS OF TEMPLE TRUMPETS
• 21:54 COMING THROUGH THESE WALLS FROM THE TEMPLE ABOVE, WE HEAR A MUSLIM PRAYER CALL.
• 22:00 AND INSIDE OF THAT WALL, UP TO MY RIGHT IS THE NEW MOSQUE,
• 22:06 WHERE THE MUSLIMS HAVE DUG OUT THE WHAT WAS CALLED, "SOLOMON'S STABLES."
• 22:11 A HUGE UNDERGROUND AREA, UNDER THE TEMPLE PLATFORM,
• 22:15 UNDER THE AL AQSA MOSQUE LEVEL AND DOME OF THE ROCK LEVEL, A HUGE ROOM THAT WAS,
• 22:22 I SAW IT 30 YEARS AGO, IT WS MOSTLY FILLED WITH PILLARS
• 22:26 AND IT WAS A CAVERNOUS PLACE WHERE APPARENTLY HORSES WERE KEPT.
• 22:31 IT'S CALLED "SOLOMON'S STABLES" WHEN THE CRUSADERS WERE HERE
• 22:34 AND THEY KEPT HORSES THERE AND SO ON.
• 22:36 WELL THE MUSLIMS DECIDED TO MAKE A VERY GRAND AND LARGE MOSQUE UNDER THERE,
• 22:41 THAT WAS THE ANNOUNCED PURPOSE ANYWAY.
• 22:44 BUT THEY BEGAN TO REMOVE EARTH FROM DOWN THERE, DIGGING IN THE GROUND
• 22:50 AND OF COURSE IN DOING SO REMOVED MANY ARTIFACTS
• 22:53 ARCHEOLOGIST WANTED TO EXAMINE FROM THE PAST JEWISH TEMPLES.
• 22:57 IT COULD BE THIS SORT OF CHILDISH IDEA THAT IF YOU DESTROY THE ARCHEOLOGY,
• 23:03 WELL THE HISTORY GOES WITH IT, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY JEWISH CLAIM TO THIS LAND
• 23:07 IF THERE WERE NO JEWISH ARTIFACTS TO BE FOUND.
• 23:09 BUT OF COURSE IT'S PRETTY LATE IN THE GAME.
• 23:11 THE TEMPLE HAS BEEN CORROBORATED A MILLION TIMES IN MANY WAYS.
• 23:15 BUT THEY ARE MOVING THIS STUFF OUT OF THERE
• 23:20 AND IN DOING SO THEY ALSO STARTED TO REMOVE PILLARS.
• 23:23 AND THEY REMOVED SOME SUPPORTING PILLARS.
• 23:25 AND THAT CAUSES THE WALL TO START TO BUCKLE.
• 23:29 THESE WALLS WERE DESIGNED SOLOMON'S ENGINEERS AND LATER HAROD'S ENGINEERS, ROMANS,
• 23:35 AND JEWS, AND SO ON WHO KNEW HOW TO DO THESE THINGS.
• 23:38 IT'S NOT EASY TO WORK WITH GREAT BIG STONES
• 23:41 AND TO SUPPORT A PLATFORM IN LARGE HEAVY BUILDINGS,
• 23:44 BUT THEY PUT THE PILLARS IN PLACE AND THEY DID A VERY GOOD JOB
• 23:48 AND THE THING IS STANDING TO THIS DAY
• 23:50 EXCEPT NOW THEY'RE SCAFFOLDING ON THE SOUTHERN WALL,
• 23:53 AND ON THE EASTERN WALL WHERE THE WALLS ARE BUCKLING OUT
• 23:57 AND THREATENING TO ABSOLUTELY BREAK AND LET THE PLATFORM FALL.
• 24:00 IT WOULD BE A MAJOR CATASTROPHE IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF WORSHIPPERS
• 24:06 AND THE AL AQSA MOSQUE WILL ACCOMMODATE 5,000 WORSHIPPERS,
• 24:09 THE WHOLE THING WOULD SIMPLY COME RUNNING DOWN THE HILL.
• 24:12 AND IN THAT CASE I'M SURE THEY WOULD SAY THE ISRAELIS SABOTAGED THEIR TEMPLE,
• 24:16 BUT IN ANY CASE THIS REALLY IS AN INVASION.
• 24:20 I MEAN THESE PILLARS THAT THEY'VE MOVED,
• 24:22 ANYONE THAT'S EVER PLAYED WITH BLOCKS AS A CHILD
• 24:25 KNOWS THAT YOU CAN NOT MOVE A SUPPORTING PILLAR, BECAUSE THE TOP WILL FALL.
• 24:29 BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DID AND THE INVASION GOES ON.
• 24:31 YOU KNOW, WE MUST BE RIGHT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE TEACHING IN THE END TIMES PROPHECY,
• 24:36 BECAUSE WE'VE LIVED A SPAN OF TIME LONG ENOUGH THAT SOMETHING SHOULD GO WRONG.
• 24:43 SOMETHING WE SAID WAY BACK SHOULD NOT BE COMING OUT,
• 24:47 BUT EVERYTHING IS THE WAY WE TAUGHT IT TODAY THEN WHEN WE STARTED.
• 24:51 THAT'S THE AMAZING THING.
• 24:53 I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT THE OTHER DAY.
• 24:55 I WENT IN TO PRINT ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO
• 24:58 TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THESE THINGS
• 25:00 AND I DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE.
• 25:03 MINOR THINGS, DETAILS, APPLICATIONS, BUT NOT THE DOCTRINE.
• 25:06 JESUS IS COMING AND I'M MORE CONVINCED OF IT THEN EVER BEFORE.
• 25:11 TIM: AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN WE DID OUR STUDY BIBLE
• 25:14 I POINTED OUT THE USUAL THING THAT THERE ARE 109 PROPHECIES OF JESUS 1ST COMING.
• 25:18 WE DISCOVERED BY COMPUTER RESEARCH THAT THERE ARE 321 PROPHECIES OF JESUS 2ND COMING.
• 25:24 SO THE 1ST COMING IS A CERTIFIED HISTORICAL FACT,
• 25:29 THEREFORE THE 2ND COMING SHOULD BE 3 TIMES AS CERTAIN TO OCCUR.
• 25:34 AND I'M PUTTING MY TRUST IN THAT.
• 25:36 TIM, THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING.
• 25:38 WELL, THANK YOU AND KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING IT'S RIGHT.
• 25:43 DURING THE BREAK SANDRA REMINDED ME HOW ZOLA USE TO SAY,
• 25:46 "GOODNESS, IT MAY WELL BE THAT WHAT WE'RE TEACHING IS RIGHT,
• 25:49 THAT JESUS, IN FACT IS COMING SOON."
• 25:52 I BELIEVE THAT HE IS AND I BELIEVE THAT HISTORY IS MOVING THE WAY THE BIBLE SAID IT WOULD.
• 25:56 ARE YOU MOVING THE WAY THE BIBLE SAID YOU SHOULD?
• 26:00 BEFORE WE GET AWAY FROM THIS PROGRAM I WANNA SEE IF THERE'S A WAY TO GET GOD INTO YOUR HEART.
• 26:04 HOW DO YOU GET THAT TO HAPPEN?
• 26:06 YOU REPENT OF YOUR SINS, YOU ASK HIM INTO YOUR HEART, YOU GET READY FOR HIS SOON COMING.
• 26:10 I WANT THIS TO BE A WAKE UP CALL FOR CHURCH PEOPLE THAT ARE LACK LUSTER.
• 26:13 DO MAKE IT A POINT TO REMEMBER THE ONE WHO PUT POINTS IN HIS HANDS FOR YOU, JESUS,
• 26:18 WHO DIED ON THE CROSS SO YOU CAN HAVE A NEW LIFE.
• 26:21 WOULDN'T THAT BE A GREAT WAY FOR YOU TO GET READY FOR YOUR LIFE
• 26:24 IN THIS LIFE AND THE FUTURE IN THE WORLD TO COME?
• 26:26 I AGREE.
• 26:28 I LOOK AROUND THE WORLD, JEFF, AND I THINK, HOW CAN IT GET ANY WORSE?
• 26:31 HOW CAN IT GET WORSE?
• 26:32 THEN I AM REMINDED, GOD IS IN CONTROL.
• 26:36 HE IS OUR SALVATION AND WE WILL BE WITH HIM FOREVER.
• 26:39 GOD BLESS YOU.
• 26:40 AND SHA 'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM.
• 26:42 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
