Episode: “Desert Blooms”
Since 1948, Israel’s desert has bloomed. In the future, all nations will come here to worship. Eitan encourages Christians to help Messianic believers restore Israel to the glory of God. Vineyard owner Yaacov Berg refutes BDS movement claims. Chaim takes us to Shiloh where items from Tabernacle times are being unearthed, and Dana teaches us “Abraham” in Hebrew. David Hart sings Zola’s classic song “Faith in the Fire” from his Faith in the Fire album.
Series: “Called Together”
This series focuses on how gentile Christians are beginning to recognize their Messianic brothers and sisters (Jewish believers in Jesus/Yeshua) as the “natural olive branch.” The Lord calls us to work together to bring the Messiah especially to the House of Israel. From the studio, David and Kirsten Hart present these eight programs that feature on-location Bible teaching from “Our Man in Haifa” Eitan Shishkoff, reports from Chaim Malespin, and Hebrew lessons from Dana Feinstein. Guest analyst Dr. Jeffrey Seif helps us apply these teachings to our lives.

Caption transcript for Called Together: “Desert Blooms” (5/8)

  • 00:05 Brethren, my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel
  • 00:09 is that they might be saved
  • 00:12 for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek
  • 00:14 for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
  • 00:36 Shalom everyone.
  • 00:37 I am David Hart.
  • 00:38 Welcome to Zola Levitt Presents.
  • 00:39 And I'm Kirsten Hart.
  • 00:41 This is our series "Called Together".
  • 00:43 We're in the middle of our wonderful series.
  • 00:45 It's been great.
  • 00:46 We've had teaching from Israel.
  • 00:48 Wonderful Messianic Teachers
  • 00:50 and especially Eitan Shishkoff.
  • 00:53 That's right.
  • 00:54 If you have missed any of the past programs in this series
  • 00:56 you can always go to levitt.com
  • 00:58 and view some of our programs.
  • 01:01 We'd love for you to join us.
  • 01:02 What I'm loving about the series,
  • 01:03 Eitan is in Israel,
  • 01:05 and the footage behind him is so beautiful
  • 01:07 you can see the desert blooming.
  • 01:09 We were just talking about it today how
  • 01:11 beautiful it is there right now.
  • 01:12 The country of Israel literally
  • 01:15 and figuratively is blooming.
  • 01:16 The prophet Isaiah over 2,000 years ago prophesied
  • 01:21 and he saw this
  • 01:22 that the Land of Israel would
  • 01:24 once again bloom and flourish.
  • 01:26 That's right.
  • 01:27 Let's go to Eitan in Haifa.
  • 01:34 One of the things I love about living in Israel
  • 01:36 is the fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • 01:38 They don't have to be brought from across a continent.
  • 01:41 They're just right here brought fresh from the fields.
  • 01:44 The prophets of Israel actually saw this.
  • 01:47 Isaiah said that the desert would bloom like a rose.
  • 01:50 The fruitfulness of our fields was predicted by Ezekiel.
  • 01:54 This is a time of the return of the Jewish people,
  • 01:57 the restoration of our Country,
  • 01:59 and the redemption which is going to be shown ultimately
  • 02:02 to all of Israel in the Person of Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah.
  • 02:07 I'm so impressed with the fact that Isaiah
  • 02:09 as a prophet saw these times 2,700 years ago.
  • 02:14 And we have to understand something when we're
  • 02:16 talking about Isaiah's revelation about the nations.
  • 02:19 In his time there was no such thing as a righteous Gentile.
  • 02:23 The Gentile nations were Pagans and Israel, the Jewish people,
  • 02:27 were supposed to stay away from them.
  • 02:29 But Isaiah saw a time when the salvation of Israel
  • 02:33 would go out to all the nations
  • 02:35 and they would be included in the plan of God.
  • 02:37 Let me read to you from Isaiah.
  • 02:40 In the 2nd Chapter we see a phenomenal series of promises that Isaiah
  • 02:45 speaks of the spiritual discovery,
  • 02:49 this time of awareness that's coming to the Gentiles
  • 02:52 which actually is what we're living in now.
  • 03:22 [Speaking Hebrew]
  • 03:28 This is the inclusion of the nations which is so essential in God's plan.
  • 03:35 But it doesn't end there because the prophet continues.
  • 03:38 And he says,
  • 03:55 This inclusion of the nations is something that's so essential in God's plan,
  • 04:00 especially in the latter days that what I want to do is
  • 04:03 explore with you a phenomenal chapter in the book of Isaiah
  • 04:07 that gives point by point how He wants to include and
  • 04:10 use the partnership of Gentiles with Messianic Jews at the end of the age.
  • 04:16 Stay tuned.
  • 04:20 Believers are called to be
  • 04:21 friends and allies of Israel.
  • 04:24 And there's one great way that
  • 04:25 I know that Kirsten knows what to do in Israel.
  • 04:28 Well that's to buy Israeli products
  • 04:30 which I honestly love to do every time we're there.
  • 04:33 She Does.
  • 04:34 I love their clothes but
  • 04:35 especially the Dead Sea mud.
  • 04:37 Seriously, don't I come back with
  • 04:38 bags of the Dead Sea mud?
  • 04:39 There's nothing better.
  • 04:41 Now here is Chaim with an Israeli businessman
  • 04:43 in the so-called West Bank.
  • 04:50 Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions.
  • 04:53 Also known as BDS, this international movement to counter
  • 04:57 Israeli businesses in the politically disputed territories
  • 05:01 of Israel including right here in the Heartland,
  • 05:05 including the business of our dear friend Yaacov Berg
  • 05:08 and what he's doing with his winery.
  • 05:10 Does this movement affect you at all?
  • 05:12 Of course, of course.
  • 05:15 It's not simple.
  • 05:18 And the question is what are we supposed to do?
  • 05:21 And I believe that if you would try to
  • 05:26 explain that they are wrong and it's
  • 05:28 actually anti-Semitism,
  • 05:31 that it's nothing to do with the reality
  • 05:34 because I'm paying to my Palestinian workers
  • 05:37 three times what they are getting paid
  • 05:39 across the street in the Palestinian Authority.
  • 05:42 I treat them with all the human....
  • 05:43 All those rights...
  • 05:45 I came back to my homeland and I did nothing.
  • 05:48 And I don't think we will win.
  • 05:50 I think the best way to fight evil always,
  • 05:55 this is the...I think this is the Bible way.
  • 05:58 It's to bring more Light, you know?
  • 06:00 No doubt to bring more Light.
  • 06:04 Don't fight the dark.
  • 06:06 And the way to bring Light is
  • 06:08 to call to our friends, to our allies,
  • 06:11 to people who appreciate and love Israel
  • 06:14 and have connection to Israel all over the world.
  • 06:16 Do you know what?
  • 06:18 Now look for Israeli products, look for Israeli wines,
  • 06:21 look for...
  • 06:22 And I must tell you I started to do it
  • 06:25 when the BDS movement started in the State,
  • 06:28 let's say 2 years ago?
  • 06:29 We started to fight in that way to call to our friends.
  • 06:33 In the last year we doubled our sales only in the United States.
  • 06:38 And you know, sometimes it's a blessing.
  • 06:42 It's like what happened in Egypt.
  • 06:44 The Egyptians tried to fight the Jewish people and then
  • 06:48 we grow and grow and grow more and more again.
  • 06:51 And I believe that's the way to do it.
  • 06:53 Chaim - Let's stand together
  • 06:56 both Jews and Christians.
  • 06:58 People of the Word of God
  • 06:59 for His plans and purposes
  • 07:01 which bless the Arabs
  • 07:03 and bless the Jews
  • 07:05 here in the Heartland of Israel.
  • 07:07 David - Now let's go back to Haifa
  • 07:09 for more teaching from Eitan.
  • 07:19 When we began to renovate our building to prepare it
  • 07:22 as a sanctuary for a Messianic Jewish Congregation,
  • 07:25 we receive volunteers from many parts of the world.
  • 07:28 Many of them from places like Tennessee, North Carolina, even Texas.
  • 07:34 And what we found was that there had been a
  • 07:38 statement made by the prophet Isaiah 2,700 years ago,
  • 07:43 that the sons of foreigners; in other words non-Israelis,
  • 07:46 would build our walls.
  • 07:49 Now think about it.
  • 07:50 How did he know what was going to be happening
  • 07:52 in the 21st century in our little sanctuary?
  • 07:55 Well, it just caused me to marvel at the wisdom of God.
  • 08:00 And what I saw was that God has called the believers in the nations,
  • 08:04 the Christian people who really love Jesus,
  • 08:08 to usher in this era of restoration in Israel.
  • 08:12 The cooperation is essential.
  • 08:14 It's not an option.
  • 08:16 Here in the beginning verses of Isaiah Chapter 60
  • 08:19 we have a prelude, an introduction.
  • 08:21 And I'd like to read these verses.
  • 08:23 And see if you can't identify some of the
  • 08:27 phrases that we're hearing in our modern news reports.
  • 08:36 He's speaking to Israel.
  • 08:52 Be attracted to what's happening in Israel.
  • 08:57 Here's how the first few lines sound in Hebrew.
  • 09:00 [Speaking Hebrew]
  • 09:12 What we're seeing here is a description of the times in which we live.
  • 09:18 And what I am particularly drawn to is the fact that
  • 09:23 the Gentiles during this time of darkness and turmoil in the earth
  • 09:28 will be drawn to God's Light shining upon Israel.
  • 09:32 Did you know that one-third of all the visitors that
  • 09:37 come from the United States to visit Israel
  • 09:40 are Evangelical believers?
  • 09:42 What this means to me is that God is awakening
  • 09:45 His people to the reality of this cooperation,
  • 09:49 this partnership between the Gentile and Jewish disciples.
  • 09:53 And I want to invite you to move more deeply into this
  • 09:57 as we explore Isaiah Chapter 60 together.
  • 10:01 David - Now to Jerusalem and our Hebrew Lesson with Diana.
  • 10:05 Right behind me there is Mount Moriah.
  • 10:07 In Hebrew you would say,
  • 10:08 [sounds like] " more ee ah "
  • 10:10 Where we all know that Abraham brought his son here
  • 10:13 to be sacrificed to God.
  • 10:15 But I just want to tell you about his name.
  • 10:18 In Hebrew when you say, " Am Israel"
  • 10:20 it means "The people of Israel".
  • 10:24 "The Nation of Israel".
  • 10:25 So the word for "Nation" you would say " Am ".
  • 10:28 In Abraham's name you have " Abba "
  • 10:32 " Av ", a short version of " Abba " - " Av "
  • 10:35 " ram ",
  • 10:36 "Father of many nations"
  • 10:40 " Ma Nish Ma " everyone.
  • 10:42 See I told you I was going to apply what we've
  • 10:44 learned on these Hebrew lessons.
  • 10:46 Diana - Thank you so much!
  • 10:47 " Ma Nish Ma "
  • 10:48 If you weren't here
  • 10:49 it means "Hi!"
  • 10:50 It's just a fun, casual way to say "Hi".
  • 10:52 That's right.
  • 10:53 Now, let's see if we can do what she just taught us.
  • 10:54 Okay
  • 10:55 " Abba "
  • 10:56 Is "Father"
  • 10:58 And a shortened version
  • 10:59 of " Avra " is " Av "
  • 11:01 And we get the name " Avram "
  • 11:04 " Avram " - right?
  • 11:06 For "Abraham"
  • 11:08 Yes
  • 11:08 " Avram "
  • 11:09 So it's, "Father of many"
  • 11:11 So it's " Abba "
  • 11:12 And the shortened version is " Av "
  • 11:14 So, " Avram " - " Abraham "
  • 11:16 Did I get it?
  • 11:17 I think you did.
  • 11:18 We're trying.
  • 11:19 We'll keep working on that.
  • 11:20 I love the Hebrew language!
  • 11:22 Coming up in a couple minutes
  • 11:24 we're going to take you to
  • 11:25 an archaeological dig in Israel.
  • 11:29 Our resource this week
  • 11:31 is the series "Called Together",
  • 11:32 "Jew & Gentile One in Messiah"
  • 11:36 on DVD
  • 11:37 David and Kirsten Hart
  • 11:39 present the teachings of
  • 11:40 Eitan Shishkoff.
  • 11:42 These 8 programs
  • 11:43 show how both sides
  • 11:44 of the body of Messiah
  • 11:45 are grafted together.
  • 11:47 We also have interviews,
  • 11:49 Location Reports,
  • 11:50 Hebrew Lessons,
  • 11:51 and Music!
  • 11:53 When you contact us ask for,
  • 11:55 "Called Together" on DVD
  • 11:59 We live in a topsy-turvy world
  • 12:01 where news events are sometimes twisted
  • 12:04 often leading to untruth.
  • 12:06 Here at Zola Levitt Presents
  • 12:08 we believe it's important to tell the truth
  • 12:10 of God's Word - the Bible.
  • 12:12 We believe it should be proclaimed
  • 12:14 to Israel and the Nations.
  • 12:16 If you believe the same way
  • 12:18 please consider us in your monthly giving support.
  • 12:21 Thank you.
  • 12:29 Kirsten - For many a trip to the Holy Land is the dream of a lifetime.
  • 12:33 The Bible truly comes alive as you see the sites
  • 12:36 where so many biblical events happened,
  • 12:39 where the teaching is always from a
  • 12:41 Messianic perspective.
  • 12:43 Come on a Zola Tour in the spring
  • 12:45 to see Israel and Petra
  • 12:47 or in the fall to add a cruise to Greece and Ephesus.
  • 12:51 See the land of the Bible for yourself.
  • 12:54 Contact us to reserve your Dream of a Lifetime.
  • 13:00 We would love for you to join us
  • 13:02 on a Zola Levitt Tour
  • 13:03 We offer them both in the Fall and the Spring.
  • 13:06 Our last tour we got on a bus with teens with families
  • 13:11 young families and even Senior adults.
  • 13:14 So the tours that we offer
  • 13:16 are really for all ages.
  • 13:18 Now if you can't go for some reason
  • 13:20 there's a great thing...
  • 13:22 There's a gift that you could give to your Pastor.
  • 13:24 And that is to offer a gift to your Pastor to go to Israel.
  • 13:28 We've been in ministry for over 30 years.
  • 13:31 And no one has ever sent us.
  • 13:33 But I'm glad that we were able to go.
  • 13:34 So if you have the means
  • 13:37 By all means send your Pastor and his wife and
  • 13:40 maybe the whole family.
  • 13:42 His preaching will be forever changed.
  • 13:45 Now, coming up
  • 13:46 we have Chaim Malespin in Israel.
  • 13:49 He'll be on a " Tel "
  • 13:51 which I found out in Hebrew means "a mound".
  • 13:55 Kind of a small mountain as in Tel Aviv or Tel Dan.
  • 13:59 And here's Chaim at an archaeological Tel .
  • 14:07 Here we are in Judea and Samaria
  • 14:09 or as some refer to it, the West Bank,
  • 14:11 the disputed territories of Israel.
  • 14:13 I want to tell you a story.
  • 14:15 In 1922 a Danish archaeologist
  • 14:17 left Denmark with a shovel, a compass and a Bible.
  • 14:20 He wanted to know the truth of the Bible as it relates
  • 14:23 to this area in the Heartland of Israel.
  • 14:26 And do you know what he discovered?
  • 14:28 Tel Shiloh, exactly the same place that we read about
  • 14:30 that Hannah took her son and after
  • 14:33 she was barren she had a son named "Samuel".
  • 14:36 He heard God here.
  • 14:38 We see the whole story of the Ark of the Covenant to be true.
  • 14:41 He ended up going and approaching the Christians,
  • 14:44 the General Allenby,
  • 14:46 and also talking to Lord Balfour
  • 14:48 who had just declared the Balfour Declaration
  • 14:50 a few years earlier to really uncover the truth
  • 14:54 of the Jewish Title Deed to this Land.
  • 14:57 Today, from around the world people
  • 15:00 are volunteering their time and resources
  • 15:02 to come when truth is under siege to
  • 15:05 prove that the Bible is true
  • 15:08 and God's plan still stands for this Land and people.
  • 15:20 So, Pinchas,
  • 15:22 You made Aliyah from the U.S.?
  • 15:25 Yes, one of my major influences in making that decision
  • 15:28 Was the fact that this is our homeland.
  • 15:31 This is where all of our history takes place.
  • 15:34 All the stories from the Bible
  • 15:35 this is where everything happened.
  • 15:37 Past, present and future.
  • 15:38 I love it!
  • 15:39 Me too!
  • 15:40 I made immigration here as well.
  • 15:42 So what are we looking at in this dig in ancient Shiloh?
  • 15:44 So here we're looking at our most recent dig site
  • 15:47 which we just recently started.
  • 15:49 However, we have already uncovered many things.
  • 15:52 We've uncovered household items such as brushes.
  • 15:55 We've uncovered oil jugs,
  • 15:57 burnt raisins that we were able to
  • 16:00 carbon date to the time of the Tabernacle.
  • 16:02 as well as oil lamps like these ones
  • 16:05 which were used to light the homes of the Hebrews.
  • 16:08 WOW! So right after the Army
  • 16:10 you were a Lone Soldier
  • 16:11 and you came here to help.
  • 16:13 What do you think about people who
  • 16:15 are coming from around the world,
  • 16:16 Christians who are helping to unearth
  • 16:19 the Title Deed that the Jewish people have to this Land?
  • 16:22 That they're an essential part to this process.
  • 16:26 Without them we wouldn't be able to uncover how
  • 16:29 we are able to expand and to build
  • 16:32 and to prove the truth of the Bible.
  • 16:36 It's so key right now
  • 16:37 in this time of history.
  • 16:40 David - now let's go back to Eitan
  • 16:42 as he wraps up this week's teaching.
  • 16:45 The amazing thing about the prophet Isaiah is
  • 16:47 that in Chapter 60 he gives us a detailed description of how God
  • 16:52 wants to the nations in the process of restoring Israel.
  • 16:56 I want to go through 5 different elements,
  • 16:59 5 aspects of God's assignment to the nations.
  • 17:01 And I hope that these will speak to you personally.
  • 17:04 He begins with this.
  • 17:06 He says.
  • 17:10 He's speaking to Israel.
  • 17:17 Of course he's using the ancient figure of wealth which is camels he used.
  • 17:22 But the point here is a material resourcing
  • 17:25 where God wants to use the nations to bring
  • 17:28 particularly to the restored believing community in Israel,
  • 17:31 the Messianic Jewish community that's being reborn,
  • 17:35 the physical material resources that will be needed
  • 17:38 to plant congregations and to support this work.
  • 17:41 The second item is aliyah, return to Israel.
  • 17:52 It speaks about coming on the clouds
  • 17:58 Many immigrants have been brought into the port of Haifa.
  • 18:01 This is number 2 - is Aliyah.
  • 18:04 The 3rd element is intercessory prayer.
  • 18:06 He says it this way,
  • 18:14 I see this as being a prelude to chapter 62
  • 18:19 where God speaks about watchmen being on the walls of Israel.
  • 18:36 This is intercessory prayer.
  • 18:39 The 4th element is repentance from anti-Semitism.
  • 18:43 It says in verse 14,
  • 18:52 This actually happened to me in Germany years ago.
  • 18:55 I was with a group of German pastors
  • 18:58 and they began during the time of worship to fall at our feet
  • 19:02 and repent with tears for the anti-Semitism of their nation.
  • 19:05 I was amazed because I'd seen this verse.
  • 19:08 I thought, "This is a literal fulfillment of what Isaiah saw 2,700 years ago."
  • 19:14 And then finally the 5th element is the teaching is equipping the believers.
  • 19:25 That's a biological impossibility but what he's saying is that
  • 19:28 I will use Gentile teachers to bring you the sincere milk of the Word, as Peter says.
  • 19:33 And most of my instructors and Bible teachers back in the Bible College days
  • 19:38 were not Jewish.
  • 19:39 They were Gentile men of God who
  • 19:42 profoundly unpacked the Scriptures to me
  • 19:44 and gave me the spirit of serving God.
  • 19:47 The result of all this will be a glory to God in the restoration of Israel.
  • 19:55 Thank you so much Eitan.
  • 19:57 We are back at this desk today
  • 19:59 with Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
  • 20:01 And it's so great to be here with you.
  • 20:03 We are honored to have you with us today.
  • 20:05 Listen, the honor is mine.
  • 20:07 I love following your lead into
  • 20:08 getting into these issues with you.
  • 20:10 Oh, we could just sit here
  • 20:11 and listen to you and learn and digest it.
  • 20:14 That will be a treat for us.
  • 20:15 Oh, you're kind.
  • 20:17 So you have your Bible open to
  • 20:18 I think it's Isaiah 60, correct?
  • 20:20 Yeah, it's a great chapter.
  • 20:21 Great chapter.
  • 20:22 We've learned a lot from it.
  • 20:23 But can you read that
  • 20:24 and then tell us what you think about it.
  • 20:25 Yeah, Isaiah 60 there's
  • 20:27 darkness that covers the earth.
  • 20:29 And then there's the prophecy of a Light shining
  • 20:30 and the nations coming bringing their wealth.
  • 20:33 And it notes in the 6th verse that these people are coming
  • 20:38 on camels from Midian and elsewhere.
  • 20:40 Arab countries on camels bringing
  • 20:43 frankincense and gold and the like.
  • 20:45 This is Matthew 1 in prophecy
  • 20:48 where therein you see the Light shines.
  • 20:51 Individuals follow the Light.
  • 20:53 They come bearing gifts, wealth,
  • 20:55 gold, frankincense and myrrh.
  • 20:57 They come from the East - Arab peoples.
  • 20:59 The first people to acknowledge Yeshua as the King of the Jews
  • 21:03 were my estranged Arab cousins.
  • 21:07 And may it be that we see
  • 21:09 that reconciliation,
  • 21:11 that togetherness today.
  • 21:13 That coming together.
  • 21:14 It's interesting to me that it was
  • 21:15 prophesied in Isaiah.
  • 21:17 Right and it was for the time
  • 21:19 of Yeshua being born
  • 21:20 and for this time.
  • 21:22 Yes
  • 21:23 This teeny little country.
  • 21:25 But it's God's country.
  • 21:27 And the supernatural can call and beckon.
  • 21:29 Right and you have these people coming to the Land bringing
  • 21:32 their wealth, bringing their influence.
  • 21:34 Somehow Israel is significant
  • 21:37 to garner this kind of enthusiasm.
  • 21:39 To build up the walls.
  • 21:40 Isn't that what Isaiah 60 talks about?
  • 21:42 Yes
  • 21:43 That the kings from other nations
  • 21:44 will build up your walls.
  • 21:46 Yeah, can I say this too?
  • 21:48 I get emotional when I turn on the news
  • 21:51 and our leadership from the U.S.
  • 21:54 comes on at the Western Wall or
  • 21:56 in different places in Israel.
  • 21:58 So I think prophecy is still happening.
  • 22:00 Kings and people like that are still coming.
  • 22:03 Yes, it's prophecy fulfilled.
  • 22:04 We see political figures from America.
  • 22:05 And we've seen that for some years now.
  • 22:07 And all over the world
  • 22:09 because of the miracle that is Israel.
  • 22:11 We are living in that day and time.
  • 22:14 Christian theologians wrote off Israel.
  • 22:17 But Israel has emerged and now
  • 22:19 it galvanizes all this energy.
  • 22:21 Prophecy fulfilled.
  • 22:23 And no one understands that
  • 22:25 better than our viewers.
  • 22:28 Because the reason why they don't go click
  • 22:30 is because they love this Israel Jewish connection,
  • 22:34 Bible prophecy, Jews.
  • 22:36 They think there's something to it.
  • 22:37 They're drawn.
  • 22:39 That's the supernatural.
  • 22:41 We live in the natural.
  • 22:42 We live in what we can touch and smell and taste.
  • 22:45 But God is the supernatural.
  • 22:47 And He said I will beckon,
  • 22:49 I will call the wealth.
  • 22:52 And I've dropped a few shekel myself in Israel.
  • 22:55 I love the Dead Sea products.
  • 22:57 I will buy falafel.
  • 22:58 I will eat my way through Israel and spend there.
  • 23:01 But that is just a small part when he's talking about
  • 23:04 kings and nations.
  • 23:05 That's true.
  • 23:06 But you know for anybody that spends a dime there and
  • 23:09 frankly I don't want to be shameless with a plug, you know.
  • 23:12 I'm just a quest here at Zola Levitt Presents.
  • 23:14 I'm not and employee on the payroll.
  • 23:16 But it would be nice if more people spent some dollars
  • 23:19 to help support missions and ministries that are aimed at Jewish people.
  • 23:24 To help us get the Word out.
  • 23:26 And not just us but others that carry this message global.
  • 23:29 And the exciting part about that
  • 23:31 is, you know, we don't have wealth.
  • 23:33 We're not wealthy as a king.
  • 23:36 But whatever we invest into Israel
  • 23:38 we ourselves are part of prophecy being fulfilled.
  • 23:43 That's unbelievable.
  • 23:44 That's true.
  • 23:45 And you can do it at the Mall.
  • 23:46 In Israel.
  • 23:47 Go shopping at the Mall in Israel.
  • 23:50 Hey, that was quick.
  • 23:51 I cannot believe our time is up
  • 23:52 already with you today.
  • 23:54 We'll have a lot more this series with Dr. Seif.
  • 23:57 But right now here's a song
  • 23:59 that Zola wrote about
  • 24:00 faith in the fire.

  • 26:37 I honestly believe that God gave Zola
  • 26:39 the theme and the words to this wonderful song.
  • 26:43 And no matter what you may be going through today
  • 26:46 to always have faith even in the fire.
  • 26:49 Faith that God's Word will come alive
  • 26:52 and will be fulfilled in your life
  • 26:54 just as we were talking about
  • 26:56 with Jeffrey Seif today with Isaiah 60
  • 26:59 that the wealth of the nations
  • 27:01 even at the birth of Yeshua
  • 27:03 came to Israel.
  • 27:06 And it is coming to Israel.
  • 27:08 That prophecy is coming alive today.
  • 27:11 Yes it is, even today.
  • 27:13 We always love to end this program with
