Caption transcript for Return to Eden: “Eden and New Testament Prophecy” (5/10)

• 00:01 Kirsten Hart: Is there a connection between the garden of Eden and the Old Testament and New Testament prophecies? You'll find out today on
• 00:10 "Zola Levitt Presents." ♪♪♪
• 00:14 male announcer: "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God
• 00:18 for Israel is that they might be saved.
• 00:21 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:
• 00:24 For the same Lord over all is rich unto all
• 00:27 that call upon him."
• 00:29 "Zola Levitt Presents."
• 00:33 ♪♪♪
• 00:50 David Hart: Welcome to "Zola Levitt Presents,"
• 00:51 I'm David Hart.
• 00:52 Kirsten: I'm Kirsten Hart. Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Jeffrey Seif.
• 00:54 David: We are in our series "Return to Eden," and the theme
• 00:57 for today is comparing verses from the Old Testament prophets
• 01:01 all the way to John the Revelator.
• 01:05 Jeffrey: You mean the books connect?
• 01:07 David: Yeah.
• 01:08 [laughing]
• 01:10 David: There's a lot in between there.
• 01:11 Dr. Seif: Well, I thought the church had the new book,
• 01:13 and the Jews have the Jew book, and never the twain shall meet.
• 01:15 Kirsten: Right? Unbelievable.
• 01:16 Dr. Seif: Pray tell, I mean, I'm being a little facetious,
• 01:19 but people think that way.
• 01:20 But no, this Bible stitched together quite nice,
• 01:22 and we're gonna show how.
• 01:24 Kirsten: How does prophecy deal with Adam and Eve
• 01:27 in the garden?
• 01:28 Dr. Seif: We're gonna have to look and see.
• 01:29 We see the garden of Eden motifs in Genesis.
• 01:31 We see it in Revelation, and we're gonna see it today.
• 01:34 David: That's right, in fact, right now, let's go
• 01:36 to Old Jericho, where Dr. Seif is teaching on location.
• 01:45 Dr. Seif: The city behind me is arguably one of the older,
• 01:49 if not the oldest city in the world in recorded history,
• 01:54 if you can imagine that.
• 01:56 Friends, you are looking at Jericho, and you can see
• 02:00 it's surrounded by some rough terrain.
• 02:04 It's one of the reasons why that city was so popular so early,
• 02:07 because the area around here is really barren wilderness.
• 02:12 We're at the edge of the Judean wilderness, and there is just
• 02:15 nothing, and then you see that oasis.
• 02:18 People who traveled this part of the world, they came through
• 02:21 here as they made their way along this special road.
• 02:27 We--and I say, "We," 'cause I'm bringing you
• 02:30 on the journey here.
• 02:32 We are walking on the Old Jericho Road.
• 02:36 "There's room for two, Jesus and you."
• 02:38 There's an old song to that effect,
• 02:40 church folk might recall.
• 02:42 This road really is the road less traveled.
• 02:47 In Antiquity, this was the road of the pilgrims,
• 02:51 and I dare say that even Jesus himself walked this way,
• 02:56 and before him others.
• 02:58 I'm looking at a text here in Isaiah where,
• 03:01 "It's time to move.
• 03:04 It's time to come back."
• 03:06 You ever heard of the expression,
• 03:07 "You can only go up from here"?
• 03:09 Well, this is the God's honest truth.
• 03:11 This is so low, but then we go up to the highest place on earth
• 03:16 in some kind of religious sense,
• 03:18 the city of Yerushalayim, Jerusalem.
• 03:22 It says in Isaiah chapter--it says, the Lord says in 48,
• 03:27 verse 20: "'Get out of Babylon, free from Chaldea!'"
• 03:31 It's time to go, come.
• 03:33 "With a shout of joy."
• 03:35 The Hebrew "simcha," "joy."
• 03:38 People speak of having "nachas," "joy," that is as natural kind
• 03:41 of joy, when a child is born, if there's a wedding.
• 03:44 But here there's a release from oppression.
• 03:47 "Proclaim this," he says, "send it out to the ends of the earth:
• 03:50 'Adonai has redeemed his servant Jacob!'"
• 03:56 And with that, and other such exhortations, people left their
• 04:02 ruins behind, and they made their way back to Jerusalem.
• 04:14 Dr. Seif: I'd like to sit down and take a look
• 04:16 at the book.
• 04:18 You'll note all around it's rather arid.
• 04:20 It's rather dry.
• 04:22 And I mention that because in Revelation 20, when he, well,
• 04:26 "I, John," sees this angel, the Hebrew "malak"
• 04:31 from the Ugaritic verb "lak," which means "to send."
• 04:35 This angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand
• 04:38 the key to the abyss and a great chain.
• 04:41 We're gonna see the devil bound in a moment.
• 04:43 But there's something subtle in the language.
• 04:45 He sees the angel coming down from heaven.
• 04:48 God's graces are in heaven.
• 04:50 The word for it, "shamayim," is related to the word "mayim,"
• 04:54 which means "waters."
• 04:56 There's blessings with waters.
• 04:58 You would especially think that's the case
• 05:00 if you lived around here.
• 05:01 What do you think?
• 05:03 You know, we're city dwellers now.
• 05:04 It all comes by plumbing.
• 05:06 Here we are at the ragged edge of the world, if you will,
• 05:09 and you can look at the terrain, the topography.
• 05:12 It's rather barren.
• 05:14 And the language from this part of the world, "heaven,"
• 05:17 "the waters," and "the blessing,"
• 05:19 and from this blessed place comes he
• 05:22 who is going to bring with him what will amount to the eventual
• 05:25 triumph of God in human history.
• 05:28 That's the principal theme in the book of Revelation,
• 05:32 that God is going to have his way.
• 05:36 He's going to get his planet back, in effect.
• 05:39 There's an old "Sports Illustrated" expression:
• 05:42 "The agony and the ecstasy."
• 05:45 And certainly, when we look at Revelation, we see the world
• 05:48 thrown into despair, decay, disorientation,
• 05:52 but there's a new day dawning.
• 05:54 This angel comes in verse 2: "He seizes this dragon--
• 05:57 the serpent, who is the devil and Satan."
• 06:00 Note, we're going back to Edenic language here.
• 06:03 At the end of the Bible, we're going back to themes
• 06:06 from the beginning.
• 06:07 Here's this ancient serpent, who is going to be seized and bound.
• 06:12 And in verse 3: "Thrown into an abyss, where he deceives
• 06:17 the nations no longer."
• 06:19 Before he got in the business of deceiving the nation,
• 06:22 he just went after one couple.
• 06:24 And he's been going after individuals
• 06:26 and couples ever since.
• 06:28 I'm pleased to report that the devil is going to have his day,
• 06:31 and until such time, even now, you can make a loser out of him
• 06:36 by inviting the Prince of Peace into your heart,
• 06:38 and you can find your own way back to Eden.
• 06:41 ♪♪♪
• 06:47 Dr. Seif: Bible readers are no doubt familiar with passages
• 06:50 that speak of the sins of the parents being visited to the
• 06:55 subsequent generations.
• 06:57 We think of that in some kind of sense where the bad habits
• 07:00 of our fathers make their way into our world and thoughts
• 07:03 and actions, and I don't wanna diminish that.
• 07:05 But if you can think for a moment, in antiquity, sin was
• 07:10 judged by exile, B'nai Israel, the sons of Israel and daughters
• 07:14 were taken off into captivity.
• 07:16 And for example, when they're taken to captivity in Babylonia
• 07:20 600 or so miles away from here, can you imagine?
• 07:24 Here a nation-state is destroyed.
• 07:26 They're taken off into captivity.
• 07:28 People start to trickle back.
• 07:30 And for them to get a toehold here in the ancient world again,
• 07:33 it takes generations and generations to rebuild.
• 07:36 Indeed, when they see in Israel, when judgment is meted out
• 07:40 to B'nai Israel, the children of Israel, then it can take
• 07:44 generations for all that to be recovered.
• 07:46 I mention that here on this road less traveled,
• 07:50 where pilgrims trod on their way back to Jerusalem.
• 07:53 As I'm looking here in the Prophet Yirmeyah, Jeremiah,
• 07:57 and he gave voice to the fact that a judgment was gonna be
• 08:00 raised up against those that sin.
• 08:02 It's a theme.
• 08:03 We see it in bereshit, in early Genesis, where they sin
• 08:07 and judgment is meted out.
• 08:08 You have to pay the piper. It's as simple as that.
• 08:11 And not only in the ganet in itself, but in the state
• 08:15 as it gets established.
• 08:17 If they wanna not follow the commands, similarly,
• 08:19 they'll be judged.
• 08:21 But it's not permanent.
• 08:22 We're told here, and it's interesting in chapter 25
• 08:26 of Yirmeyah, Jeremiah, he says:
• 08:28 "The whole land will be a desolate ruin."
• 08:34 If you look at the world around me here, it's really
• 08:39 characterized by a kind of dryness, by a kinda ruinous,
• 08:43 if you will.
• 08:45 These people were agrarians. They were farmers.
• 08:48 But there's just not much that you can do with all of this.
• 08:52 The Bible says that the children of Israel were judged and taken
• 08:57 off, and that the land itself would fall into decay, despair,
• 09:03 not much there.
• 09:05 That's the bad news.
• 09:06 The good news is, then in verse 12: "It will come to pass,"
• 09:11 and I just love it.
• 09:14 Let me offer a corrective before I ring the bell on this one.
• 09:16 People think, "You know, there's lot of love and grace and peace
• 09:20 in the newer testament, but the older testament is just
• 09:24 characterized by people in the hands of an angry God,
• 09:28 you know, with all these rules.
• 09:29 And if you mess up, you're just out of here.
• 09:31 And there's no grace there to speak of."
• 09:33 Individuals that say that, it says more about them than it
• 09:38 does about the literature they're purporting to describe.
• 09:41 I mention that because this is a classic grace text
• 09:44 in the literature.
• 09:46 Their sins, in response to them--and by the way,
• 09:49 the word "sin," "chet," means "to kinda deviate."
• 09:52 It's an arrow that's shot at a target, and it veers off.
• 09:56 People veer off, and they endure consequences for that,
• 10:00 but it's not just about that.
• 10:02 You see the grace of God at work in the literature,
• 10:05 giving voice to the fact, "Listen, I can rebuild
• 10:08 from this ruinous state."
• 10:11 You look in early Genesis
• 10:12 [speaking foreign language]
• 10:15 that the Spirit of God was hovering, creating,
• 10:19 bringing new life.
• 10:21 God has a wonderful plan for you, mankind.
• 10:25 In fact, in early Genesis, he says,
• 10:27 [speaking foreign language]
• 10:30 "God said, 'Let us make man in the imago Dei,
• 10:34 in the image of God,'"
• 10:35 that we're a special creation.
• 10:37 It seems the devil wars against that, but God is minded
• 10:40 to turn it all around.
• 10:43 Speaking of which, and about a new day dawning, if you will,
• 10:47 when you go to the book Revelation, and I wanna take you
• 10:51 there on the quick, John sees that one day, this ruinous state
• 10:58 that's described in Yirmeyah, Jeremiah, and elsewhere,
• 11:01 and that we know all too well about life as we live it, that
• 11:04 one day, this is going to give way to a new world to come.
• 11:07 In chapter 21 he sees a new day dawning, "A new heaven
• 11:12 and a new earth," and he sees, "a new holy city--
• 11:16 the city of Jerusalem--coming down out of heaven."
• 11:20 There will be a point in time where there will be
• 11:24 a reorientation of time and circumstance.
• 11:27 There was a garden paradise in the beginning.
• 11:29 So, too, there's a restoration at the end,
• 11:31 and it's described with this New Jerusalem
• 11:35 displacing the desolation round about.

• 12:59 Right now, let's go back to Dr. Seif as he continues
• 13:02 his teaching in Israel.
• 13:05 ♪♪♪
• 13:11 Dr. Seif: Christians talk about coming out of the darkness
• 13:14 into the glorious light, and it's an expression people
• 13:18 are familiar with, and it's a good expression,
• 13:20 coming out of the darkness into the light.
• 13:22 However, it really isn't entirely
• 13:25 a Christian expression, however.
• 13:28 In fact, I'm coming to you from First Baptist Church Jerusalem.
• 13:32 Yes, it really is.
• 13:34 I could pick up a stone and throw it to the Western Wall.
• 13:37 And when the Jewish temple stood--"First Baptist Church"
• 13:40 I'm calling it because everybody got baptized on the way in,
• 13:44 First Baptist Church.
• 13:46 This is a mikvah, a ritual bath.
• 13:50 Worshipers would come and they would wash away their
• 13:55 accumulated filth to be, in effect, energized
• 14:00 and made new to then walk into God's presence.
• 14:04 It's a beautiful image there.
• 14:06 Not only did worshipers do that, but baptism itself was
• 14:09 the mechanism employed when individuals who were
• 14:13 of non-Jewish extract converted into Judaism.
• 14:16 They were baptized, and in effect, they were born again.
• 14:21 And that was the language of the day.
• 14:23 New Testament readers pick that up in a related context.
• 14:27 Well, I mention that because in Revelation chapter 21, verse 4,
• 14:33 the author there speaks of a time when:
• 14:35 "The former things will pass away."
• 14:38 And it was adjudged when someone converted and came out of the
• 14:41 baptism that their non-Jewish life was left in the waters,
• 14:46 and they came to walk in the newness of life,
• 14:49 something brand new, to walk with God in the covenant.
• 14:52 And even that's represented in Revelation.
• 14:55 Before we have the language of, "Former things passing away,"
• 14:59 he speaks of, "God dwelling with men,
• 15:03 and tabernacling among them."
• 15:06 We're gonna take a look at the book and see how what's noted
• 15:09 here in Revelation was alluded to previously
• 15:13 in another biblical book.
• 15:16 Dr. Seif: You know, people talk about walking
• 15:18 in the footsteps of Jesus.
• 15:20 Here, it's really more than a figure of speech
• 15:23 because we really are walking where Jesus walked.
• 15:28 I mean, literally.
• 15:31 I wanna pause for a second.
• 15:33 I want you to pick up some of the energy here in the plaza
• 15:37 by the Western Wall, the undeveloped section of the wall.
• 15:42 Bible talks about people coming to Jerusalem, the bride,
• 15:46 and the bridegroom, and the dance returning here,
• 15:49 and celebration returning here.
• 15:52 There's so much of--I got news for ya, it's hard to get
• 15:54 in a television shoot because there's so much noise.
• 15:58 Instead of waiting for it to stop, let's just use it
• 16:00 to remind us that God is doing something here today.
• 16:07 Yesterday, in Ezekiel, the prophet gives voice to the fact
• 16:12 that there will be a regathering of Israelites.
• 16:16 Displaced persons will return to the ancestral homeland.
• 16:20 43:7, he says: "'Son of man, this is the place of my throne,
• 16:31 the place of the soles of my feet.'"
• 16:35 Now, that's called an "anthropomorphic ascription,"
• 16:41 from "anthros," meaning "man," "morphe," meaning "form."
• 16:45 When God says, "This is where the soles of my feet."
• 16:48 So, what is he a 10 or 11?
• 16:50 What does that even mean? What do you mean he has feet?
• 16:54 The older testament describes God in human form.
• 16:58 The newer testament just gives voice to that which
• 17:00 is echoed previously.
• 17:02 But here in 43, when the prophet talks here and elsewhere, all
• 17:07 around this section of Ezekiel, of a regathering back to the
• 17:11 ancestral homeland, where he's gonna rebuild the house,
• 17:15 here he says, "This is the place of my throne,
• 17:19 the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell
• 17:23 in the midst of Bnei-Yisrael forever."
• 17:28 This is a sacred place, made sacred by virtue of the fact
• 17:32 that God's throne was here.
• 17:34 And when we think of his throne slash mercy seat,
• 17:38 it harks us back to temple talk, doesn't it,
• 17:40 where God dwelt among his people.
• 17:43 And when we think of temple talk, God dwelling among his
• 17:46 people, that harks back to garden talk, where God first
• 17:50 dwelt among his people, wanting to be in relationship with them.
• 17:57 That deal is still on the table for that relationship.
• 18:00 I hope you take him up on the offer and enter into it
• 18:04 through the sacrifice of the Lamb.
• 18:08 Kirsten: The Apostle John had a revelation that one day,
• 18:12 all our tears, all your tears, will be wiped away.
• 18:17 That's good news.
• 18:18 Dr. Seif: It surely is, and there are a lot of tears.
• 18:21 You know, there's gonna be a lot of Kleenex in the end of days,
• 18:24 because God knows people are hurting.
• 18:26 Do we have to wait till then?
• 18:29 Kirsten: I don't think so. Dr. Seif: No?
• 18:31 I mean, people even now, because of God's love for the world,
• 18:34 he sent his Son into it, those tears can get dried up right
• 18:37 now, and it's great to know that and to sing about that, yes?
• 18:41 David: I can't imagine folks that don't have Yeshua
• 18:43 in their heart, that they deal with things in their lives.
• 18:48 I can't imagine people going through their lives without him.
• 18:51 Dr. Seif: No, I'm glad that he's put a new song in my heart.
• 18:54 David: Amen.
• 18:55 Right now, let's go to a wonderful Gentile who loves
• 18:59 Israel by the name of Pat Boone.
• 19:02 You've heard of him.
• 19:04 He loves Israel, and here's an interview with him right now.
• 19:12 Pat Boone: And to actually walk into the pages of the Bible
• 19:15 and see everything that I had believed as a boy was not only
• 19:20 real, but it was 3D and in color and my favorite place in Israel
• 19:25 is the Sea of Galilee, which has not changed.
• 19:29 I mean, the sea is there, and so much around the sea is when
• 19:33 Jesus was walking around at night, he'd leave his disciples
• 19:37 and go up on the hillside to pray.
• 19:40 And boy, I get emotional thinking about being able
• 19:43 to actually walk.
• 19:44 And I've sung a song called
• 19:46 "I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked."
• 19:48 We walked where Jesus walked.
• 19:50 His sandals may have kicked some of those very stones aside,
• 19:54 walking along by the Sea of Galilee, walking through the
• 19:57 fields, talking to his Father, praying it into the wee hours,
• 20:02 maybe all night long, Capernaum, where he raised,
• 20:05 or healed Peter's mom.
• 20:09 He said he didn't have a place to lay his head.
• 20:10 He didn't have, after he left Nazareth, he didn't have a place
• 20:14 he called home but it was the whole land.
• 20:18 But it was just the little land of Israel.
• 20:20 So, we come here, and we soak up Jesus, God's purpose,
• 20:27 the history, and the future, all of it right here.
• 20:33 male announcer: "This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
• 20:36 'On the day I cleanse you from all your sins,
• 20:39 I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt.
• 20:44 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying
• 20:47 desolate in the sight of all who pass through it.
• 20:50 They will say, "This land that was laid waste has become like
• 20:54 the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins,
• 20:57 desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited."
• 21:02 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord
• 21:07 have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted
• 21:10 what was desolate.
• 21:12 I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.'"
• 21:21 Kirsten: When we go on a Zola Tour, we all meet at JFK
• 21:24 in New York City, and there's a bunch of people
• 21:26 we have never met before.
• 21:28 And by the end of tour, we consider ourselves family.
• 21:31 We eat together. We play together.
• 21:33 We see all the sights. We travel together.
• 21:35 We would love for you to become part of our family

• 21:42 Check on the "Tour" page, all kinds of information
• 21:44 for you to read.
• 21:45 Someone we met on a tour in Israel is Sarah Liberman,
• 21:49 and she will now be teaching us about Deuteronomy 8's
• 21:53 seven species.
• 21:55 Let's go to Sarah now.
• 22:01 Sarah Liberman: Shalom chaverim, welcome back to our
• 22:04 series on "The Seven Species," those foods of blessing that God
• 22:08 gave to the people of Israel when he brought them
• 22:11 into the land.
• 22:12 We're here in the awesome market of Haifa, a northern port city,
• 22:16 and this is where Israelis are coming at the end of the week to
• 22:20 buy all the fresh fruit and the wonderful produce
• 22:23 to get ready for their Sabbat meal.
• 22:25 And today, we're talking about one of the species,
• 22:28 called "barley."
• 22:30 In Hebrew, the word is "seorah."
• 22:32 Now, we know that the priests brought an offering of barley
• 22:35 before the Lord in the temple, but most interesting
• 22:38 about this seed is the way that it's planted.
• 22:41 Instead of being sown and then covered in the ground like other
• 22:44 seeds, barley is scattered.
• 22:46 Do you remember the parable that Yeshua tells in Matthew
• 22:49 chapter 13 about the seeds that the sower scatters
• 22:53 and the different kind of soil that that seed falls on?
• 22:56 Well, this week, as you think about barley, may our hearts
• 23:00 be good soil, "adamah tovah."

• 24:55 Dr. Seif: A little earlier, we heard from Pat Boone,
• 24:58 didn't we?
• 24:59 Wasn't that something?
• 25:00 David: Amazing.
• 25:02 Kirsten: I think he had his white bucks on, didn't he?
• 25:04 Dr. Seif: Still, yes.
• 25:05 [laughing]
• 25:06 Kirsten: Still the same pair. Dr. Seif: He's a legend.
• 25:08 David: Right, we love his heart for Israel.
• 25:09 They love him there.
• 25:11 Dr. Seif: Yes, he's like the poster boy for the Christian
• 25:12 that loves Israel and the Jewish people,
• 25:15 and out of his heart, such beauty.
• 25:18 David: Right, God have him those words in the United States
• 25:21 and Hollywood, and it's well-known in Israel now.
• 25:24 That's pretty amazing.
• 25:25 Dr. Seif: You're a musician too.
• 25:27 What does it take to get launched?
• 25:28 How do you become a Pat Boone?
• 25:30 Kirsten: If we knew, we would be.
• 25:32 [laughing]
• 25:33 If we knew.
• 25:35 Dr. Seif: Zola raised the same question in his day,
• 25:36 you know, "How did--"
• 25:37 I mean, this television program is one of the longest-running
• 25:41 programs in Christian broadcast history.
• 25:43 How does that happen?
• 25:45 Zola went, "I don't know."
• 25:47 He says, "I just guess God wanted it.
• 25:49 I guess God wanted Pat Boone to be Pat Boone.
• 25:52 He wanted this ministry to be this ministry."
• 25:55 David: I will say, even before this program started
• 25:57 today, we prayed around this table for an anointing to happen
• 26:01 here, and so I think, without that anointing,
• 26:04 this program wouldn't be happening.
• 26:06 Dr. Seif: That's true, and it really takes a certain drawing.
• 26:09 And speaking of which, if our friends--
• 26:11 I'm speaking to you.
• 26:13 If you didn't feel in your heart some kind of draw,
• 26:16 God knows there are remote controls to dump us on the quick
• 26:19 and find something else.
• 26:21 If you find a resting place in this kind of story,
• 26:24 that resting place that Pat sings about,
• 26:27 that we talk about, if that resonates with you,
• 26:30 please help us to continue to bring the Pat Boones
• 26:33 of the world here to the world again,
• 26:36 and please help us to continue to tell this story.
• 26:39 Kirsten: And we would love for you to get in touch with us.
• 26:42 Go to our website.
• 26:44 There's a little envelope you can click on and talk
• 26:46 to someone, and email us, send letters.
