• 00:12 David: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for,
• 00:15 the conviction of things not seen.
• 00:18 For by it the men of old received divine approval."
• 00:22 For whatever was written in former days was written for our
• 00:25 instruction that through endurance and through the
• 00:29 encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

• 00:43 David: We're so glad you've joined us today.
• 00:45 I am David Hart.
• 00:46 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 00:48 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And I am Jeffrey Seif, and we are on a
• 00:50 journey with the patriarchs.
• 00:53 Last week, we examined how Eliezer was dispatched to go
• 00:58 find a wife for this promised son, and today, marriage.
• 01:02 A happy program, yes?
• 01:04 Kirsten: It is.
• 01:06 It's kind of interesting, to me--and I'm gonna sound like
• 01:08 such a modern woman--that neither Isaac nor Rebekah
• 01:12 got to see each other before, like, "Here she is.
• 01:16 Here's your wife. Here's your husband."
• 01:18 I'm kind of glad I got to see you.
• 01:19 David: I don't know if I could've done that.
• 01:22 Kirsten: Surprised what they looked like.
• 01:24 Jeffrey: Yes.
• 01:26 Kirsten: But much, much more on that today in our program
• 01:27 about this love story, right?
• 01:29 David: Right.
• 01:30 We could go to the drama right now about that love story, then
• 01:32 Dr. Seif will be teaching.
• 01:34 Let's go there now.

• 01:37 male narrator: The mission to Haran had been successful.
• 01:40 Abraham's servant had found a beautiful wife for Isaac,
• 01:43 named Rebekah.
• 01:45 More importantly, they were leaving with the blessing of
• 01:48 Rebekah's family.
• 01:50 "Our sister," they said, "may you become the mother of
• 01:54 thousands of ten thousands, and may your descendants possess
• 01:59 the gates of their enemies."
• 02:01 ♪♪♪
• 02:05 Jeffrey: We have devoted a number of segments to this love
• 02:10 story based on a belief that coming to terms with love
• 02:14 correctly is so very, very important.
• 02:19 Love in this world is in such high demand and such short
• 02:22 supply, we wanted to land on some biblical text and take a
• 02:26 look at the divine hand in the formulation of union.
• 02:33 So very, very important.
• 02:35 In the story here, as we're really winding down on the
• 02:39 Rebekah-Isaac story--and as we do, by the way, you are going to
• 02:43 hear from my better half in short order.
• 02:45 Barri was particularly excited about this program.
• 02:48 This is the boy-meets-girl story here, where they come together.
• 02:54 Eliezer has gone off to Paddan-aram, Syria, and then he
• 02:57 comes back to the Holy Land and brings Rivkah with him.
• 03:03 Actually, the verse here in chapter 24, verse 61, we're told
• 03:08 that she followed "acharai haish," that is,
• 03:11 "after the man."
• 03:14 And I wanna share a little anecdotal story associated
• 03:18 with a woman who is following after a man.
• 03:24 Now, here she's following Eliezer to go meet her
• 03:27 "bashert," her flesh, her other half, Yitzhak.
• 03:33 My wife loved this story, as I had said.
• 03:36 I'm reminded of it, by the way, as Eliezer went to her family
• 03:41 and sought permission to bring her on the journey.
• 03:45 It reminded me when I went to Barri's family
• 03:50 and asked for permission.
• 03:52 Now, Barri was 62 years old.
• 03:55 Her mother was 84, 85 at the time, and I didn't want to move
• 04:02 without getting family permission.
• 04:05 So I go up to Kansas City, and Mom is there and some brothers
• 04:09 are there, and Mom is sick, actually.
• 04:11 She's in the hospital.
• 04:13 And I go and present myself.
• 04:15 She's never met me.
• 04:16 I'm looking for permission to marry her daughter.
• 04:19 And typical Jewish mother, she says, "So why should I let my
• 04:21 daughter marry you?"
• 04:24 And I said, "Mom--" that's what I call her, "Mom."
• 04:27 I says, "Mom, look, let me ask you a question."
• 04:29 She said, "What's that?"
• 04:30 I said, "How old is your daughter?"
• 04:33 She said, "Sixty-two."
• 04:35 I said, "How many men has she brought home in 62 years
• 04:40 to you?"
• 04:41 She said, "None."
• 04:42 I said, "Sweetheart, take what you can get."
• 04:45 Simple as that.
• 04:48 I said, "You want a reason why?"
• 04:49 She says, "Give me a reason why I should let my
• 04:51 daughter marry you."
• 04:52 I says, "I'll give you two reasons."
• 04:54 She says, "What's that?"
• 04:55 I says, "Number one, I have a job.
• 04:56 Number two, I'm healthy." She said, "Take her."
• 04:59 A little bit of Jewish humor there.
• 05:00 But the point is I wanted to get permission from the home front,
• 05:04 subsequent to which Barri followed me on the journey.
• 05:09 I took her hundreds and hundreds of miles away.
• 05:11 And, gentlemen, as we look at the story of the journey, you
• 05:16 saw it depicted graphically in the drama, and I lighted upon
• 05:19 the verse where, you know, Rebekah is following him.
• 05:23 Gentlemen, gentlemen, if you're watching,
• 05:26 please realize what we do.
• 05:30 I liken it to a locomotive engine, this male, this
• 05:34 powerful, driving locomotive engine, and then there's the
• 05:40 woman, who's kind of like a caboose or a car that attaches
• 05:43 onto it.
• 05:45 All that energy, "woosh," it's gonna take her downstream
• 05:47 somewhere.
• 05:48 It's gonna take her someplace.
• 05:50 And when women attach to the males of the species in this
• 05:53 game called marriage.
• 05:55 They really are taking a risk.
• 05:57 They're gonna go down the track somewhere, and there's a certain
• 06:01 amount of uncertainty with that where women, you know, deal with
• 06:04 faith and uncertainty as they move forward.
• 06:08 And, gentlemen, what we put these women through, you know,
• 06:11 they marry us.
• 06:12 They bear children.
• 06:14 They lose their Coke-bottle figures.
• 06:15 What we do to these women, I'm telling you, gentlemen,
• 06:18 we need to be kind.
• 06:23 There's a beautiful story here.
• 06:26 When love gets it right, it's beautiful.
• 06:29 When it goes sour, it's difficult.
• 06:32 Look with me here at the story again.
• 06:34 I don't wanna just talk about the text.
• 06:36 I want you to hear from it.
• 06:38 We're told in verse 59, "So they sent Rebekah off--" and there's
• 06:45 a blessing here-- "and they blessed Rebekah," I'm gonna be
• 06:49 doing a wedding in short order, and I was asked to give a
• 06:53 blessing, and the blessing is "Our sister, may you become
• 06:59 thousands of ten thousands, and may your seed possess the gate."
• 07:06 You know, may those who come forth from you be strong, in
• 07:11 Hebrew, "hazaq."
• 07:13 Now, there already is a divine destiny associated with Abraham
• 07:17 and Isaac.
• 07:18 She's invited as a participant in that, as a recipient of that,
• 07:23 subsequent to which then finally, in verse 61, "She got
• 07:26 up," and as I'd said, "she followed 'acharai haish,' she
• 07:32 went after the man."
• 07:35 Oh, it's a beautiful story, and here's one of a woman walking by
• 07:39 faith, and because she did, she left her imprint on biblical
• 07:44 history.
• 07:48 announcer: Our resource this week, "A Christian Love Story"

• 08:54 David: We've heard from so many people on our tour bus
• 08:56 that--testimonials of their miracle of being able to come to
• 09:00 Israel, people who didn't think in their lifetime that they
• 09:03 would be able to go, but God prepared the way for them.
• 09:06 Because they prayed about it, someone helped them go.
• 09:09 Pray about you coming to Israel with us.
• 09:12 We would love for you to join us.
• 09:13 Kirsten: It opens your Bible to new things that you never
• 09:16 thought possible, right?
• 09:18 David: That's right.
• 09:20 Kirsten: And also, God speaks to people.
• 09:22 There's something about being in that Holy Land that God will
• 09:25 speak to you in a brand-new way.
• 09:27 I love our story today.
• 09:29 It's kind of a love story.
• 09:30 We've been married--we're on our 31st year of marriage, and we've
• 09:34 had a great love story.
• 09:35 David: We have. Kirsten: We have.
• 09:36 You didn't have to pay much of a dowry for me though, did you?
• 09:39 David: No.
• 09:41 Kirsten: But it's interesting that Abraham paid a price for
• 09:45 Rebekah marrying his son.
• 09:47 And she didn't come cheap.
• 09:49 She was costly.
• 09:51 I think there's some camels and some gold in there.
• 09:52 And we just want all of you to know that people that save up
• 09:57 and give to our ministry, if you have a camel,
• 10:00 we'll take your camel.
• 10:01 We'd love a pet camel.
• 10:03 But, anyway, those that give to our ministry, we're just so
• 10:05 thankful for you saving up and putting your dollars in some--in
• 10:10 a ministry that makes a difference across the world.
• 10:13 True, right?
• 10:15 Jeffrey: People adorn what they love.
• 10:16 I notice you have some bling on your fingers.
• 10:18 Kirsten: Thirtieth, thirtieth.
• 10:20 Jeffrey: You know, those probably aren't cubic zirconia.
• 10:22 People adorn what they love, and thank you for those of you that
• 10:26 love us, not just in word and speech but in deed and in truth,
• 10:32 and for those who in deed love us with an offering, we're not
• 10:36 puttin' gold and diamonds on our fingers with the money you send.
• 10:39 Really, we're not.
• 10:40 We're just paying for the air time, and we wanna get the story
• 10:42 to you.
• 10:44 It doesn't come cheap.
• 10:45 Thanks for your grace in advance.
• 10:47 Kirsten: We're in our story right now where Isaac's heart
• 10:50 has been saddened by the death of his mother, then also revived
• 10:54 through Rebekah's love, followed by Dr. Barri Seif, kind of,

• 11:56 Barri Seif: I love romance.
• 11:58 Isn't this a great story?
• 12:01 I loved how God brought Rebekah and Isaac together.
• 12:06 She dismounted, and she immediately veiled herself as
• 12:11 she knew her life was going to change immediately.
• 12:18 I got to be a bride finally at the ripe young age of 62,
• 12:24 when I got to say, "I do," and wear a veil.
• 12:27 I love romance, and because I was single for so long,
• 12:32 I enjoyed learning about how other people found romance,
• 12:37 even little tiny towns.
• 12:39 Some years ago, I lived in Shreveport, Louisiana, and the
• 12:43 newspaper--yes, we had newspapers back then--ran some
• 12:47 stories and little clips on couples that had
• 12:50 been married 50 years.
• 12:53 So I took it upon myself to get the phone book, which we also
• 12:56 had way back then, find their names, call up the couples and
• 13:01 just ask them a little bit about how they met each other and what
• 13:06 would they consider was the success to their marriage, and
• 13:12 most of the answers were the same about, you know, "I love
• 13:15 them," and "We communicate well 'cause, after 50 years,
• 13:20 that's a long time to be married."
• 13:22 But I love this love story here because it speaks to all of our
• 13:27 hearts to be content where we're at.
• 13:30 I didn't go looking for love in the right places
• 13:34 or the wrong places.
• 13:36 I didn't go on the Internet sites.
• 13:39 Dates were like figs.
• 13:41 They were a Middle Eastern fruit, nature's candy.
• 13:45 I was content to go to sleep in God, and when, just like with
• 13:50 Eve, she was asleep when God brought him to her side.
• 13:54 God has a purpose.
• 13:56 Singleness is a gift.
• 13:58 Marriage is a gift.
• 13:59 Both of them have benefits.
• 14:01 So right where you're at, enjoy on the way to where you're going
• 14:05 because, you know what?
• 14:07 Father knows best.
• 14:11 Kirsten: I think I can speak for all of us at this table that
• 14:14 Barri Seif, your gorgeous wife, did not look 62 when the both
• 14:18 of you got married.
• 14:19 She looks good.
• 14:21 Jeffrey: Well, she's beautiful inside and out.
• 14:23 You know, I didn't wanna marry when my wife died.
• 14:26 I didn't wanna marry a younger woman.
• 14:29 Barri is two years older than me, but she does hold it
• 14:31 together very well, doesn't she?
• 14:33 Kirsten: Oh, she looked wonderful, and I just think
• 14:34 about the age is interesting.
• 14:36 It was just the right time, right?
• 14:38 You were--weren't you 32 when we got married?
• 14:41 David: Almost earlier, but I'm glad that
• 14:43 I waited for the right one.
• 14:45 Kirsten: Thank you.
• 14:46 David: That's right.
• 14:48 Kirsten: As with Barri, and Isaac was 40.
• 14:49 It was just the right time in his life, right?
• 14:51 Jeffrey: Indeed, it was.
• 14:52 And I'm so glad the Lord brought Barri to me at the right time.

• 16:31 Jeffrey: In a previous segment, I spoke about Isaac and
• 16:35 his relationship with his mother, and I'm gonna begin here
• 16:38 by speaking to that because the story of him and his wife ends
• 16:43 with reference to it.
• 16:45 What I wanna underscore is that indeed there's something
• 16:48 beautiful, to my way of thinking, to see a man who was
• 16:53 so deeply in love with his mother, who misses her, who
• 17:01 grieves her absence, who has trouble getting over that.
• 17:05 That closeness in family that we look at and see here in biblical
• 17:11 literature is something that we don't find as much in the modern
• 17:14 world today where family life, in so many ways, can be
• 17:19 characterized by fracture, by moving on, and here we see a
• 17:24 story of a fellow that has a bit of trouble moving on.
• 17:30 Well, that might be worth exploring in its own right.
• 17:34 Again, just to see a loving family like that, to me, is
• 17:39 special, and it says something about his mother.
• 17:43 It says something about the boy, and it's something
• 17:46 that we miss today.
• 17:48 At the risk of offering too much self-disclosure, and I do wanna
• 17:52 get to the literature, the story of losing a mother and looking
• 18:00 at the aftermath and seeing how boys deal with it is something
• 18:04 that I experienced with the passing of my first wife--may
• 18:08 she rest in peace--Patty, after 30 years.
• 18:12 And the boys in our family, Patty was like the sun,
• 18:17 and the males, all of us were like planets that revolved
• 18:20 around that sun.
• 18:22 She was so central, and her absence for the boys, as is the
• 18:28 case here with Isaac, was catastrophic.
• 18:32 In fact, at the risk of offering too much self-disclosure, when I
• 18:35 married beautiful Barri--and you've experienced her
• 18:39 some--she's so beautiful, you don't just meet her--you
• 18:42 experience her.
• 18:43 She's authentically beautiful.
• 18:47 When we married, frankly, the boys were a tad bit, just,
• 18:50 consternated because they were concerned that I disrespected
• 18:56 their mother by virtue of the fact that I remarried.
• 18:59 Well, those emotional bonds, you know, they grew up.
• 19:02 It is what it is.
• 19:03 I said, "Listen, guys, you know, I didn't cheat on Mom.
• 19:06 You know, I didn't walk away from her.
• 19:08 Death took her, and I'm older in life, and I wanna move on, and I
• 19:13 believe God has sanctioned it."
• 19:15 So I can kind of relate to it a certain extent.
• 19:18 Now, here, to go to the text 'cause I know you watch this
• 19:21 program not to hear the life and teachings of Jeffrey Seif.
• 19:23 You wanna look at the Bible, and to be sure, I'm interested in
• 19:27 chapter 24, when Rebekah comes back, and you saw it
• 19:32 in the drama.
• 19:34 I wanna just reference it here.
• 19:35 We're told that "Eliezer, the servant," in verse 66,
• 19:39 "recounted to Isaac all the things he had done."
• 19:44 And it's not just what he had done.
• 19:46 He wanted Isaac to see providence hand in
• 19:50 what was about to present.
• 19:53 This isn't just a pretty girl, but there's an attestation here
• 19:57 of God at work in the family.
• 20:01 And if you can find that connection where God is at work
• 20:06 in it, where there's confirmations, when you have
• 20:09 that, it gives us certain--a confidence in moving forward
• 20:14 that wouldn't otherwise be there.
• 20:16 This series is all about, you know, faith for the future.
• 20:21 Faith for the future.
• 20:22 And another way of saying that is seeing God's hand in the
• 20:25 present, leading to the future.
• 20:27 That's what we're looking at here.
• 20:29 And then we're told, subsequent to that, in verse 66, that
• 20:33 Isaac, that "Yitzhak brought her in," and it says--
• 20:37 [speaking Hebrew]
• 20:39 --that "she became his wife," subsequent to which it says
• 20:44 right afterward, "and he loved her."
• 20:48 Now, when we speak of love here, we're not just talking about a
• 20:51 sentient being, someone's feeling towards someone else.
• 20:56 We're talking about romance here.
• 20:59 We're talking about what married people do.
• 21:04 Now, what's interesting--and it's worth saying.
• 21:06 It's so obvious, perhaps it shouldn't be said, but it's so
• 21:11 glaringly obvious in the literature, it's worth nothing
• 21:15 that they waited--you ready for this?
• 21:17 They waited to have sex till after they were married.
• 21:21 Here--I got it out.
• 21:23 They waited till afterward.
• 21:27 Now, there's something really good about that.
• 21:29 First of all, people are not entitled to the pleasure unless
• 21:37 there's something contractual in place to take care
• 21:40 of the treasure.
• 21:43 There is not to be sexual contact without a contract,
• 21:49 something binding to hold the parties together.
• 21:54 That's amply attested in the literature, and it's indeed
• 21:59 absent in the modern world.
• 22:01 Barri and I, when we were engaged, we kissed after we were
• 22:05 engaged.
• 22:06 Hands never went where they shouldn't, never mind eyes, that
• 22:10 we really endeavored to do it right.
• 22:12 We're kind of old school.
• 22:13 But that's what we see in the literature.
• 22:18 I understand those energies at play in the business of love,
• 22:24 but I like discipline too.
• 22:27 I believe there are certain things that God honors.
• 22:30 I remember Barri surprised me under the chuppah at the altar.
• 22:36 When we exchanged rings, she interrupted it all to give me a
• 22:42 purity ring, something that she had committed to years prior.
• 22:49 There's a woman that went through 60-somethin' years
• 22:51 of living before she experienced a man in marriage like that,
• 22:56 and there's something beautiful in that.
• 23:00 Let me just say, if you're watching this program and you
• 23:03 want God to guide you into the future in the business of love,
• 23:08 let me encourage you to recover some of these old ways.
• 23:12 They pay dividends.
• 23:15 If you've never been married, take some
• 23:18 of this stuff to heart.
• 23:20 If you've been married and it fell apart, and you're looking
• 23:23 for God's guidance in a reset button into the future,
• 23:27 take this stuff to heart.

• 23:40 I believe there's a comfort factor in marriage, and for
• 23:45 those of you that are discomforted by circumstances in
• 23:48 that regard, please take some of the principles in today's
• 23:53 program to heart, and I believe that you can see good success

• 24:03 discover his will for you there.

• 25:05 David: Okay, everybody, I have a question for Dr. Seif
• 25:08 at this table right now.
• 25:09 I just gotta know.
• 25:10 We need to know 'cause we've been talkin' about this.
• 25:12 Were you convicted about not kissing your wife until you
• 25:15 were engaged?
• 25:17 Did you hear from the Lord about that?
• 25:18 What was your experience with that?
• 25:20 Jeffrey: Well, as a rule of thumb, I don't think there
• 25:21 should be contact without a contract, but after we were
• 25:26 engaged, we'd kiss, you know, not excessively and not all the
• 25:29 time, but definitely I was in the mood for it.
• 25:34 Kirsten: You had a broken heart.
• 25:36 Isaac had a broken heart.
• 25:37 He had lost his mom. You lost your wife.
• 25:39 Jeffrey: Yeah.
• 25:41 Kirsten: And it's interesting how love and romance
• 25:43 can heal a broken heart.
• 25:47 Jeffrey: Barri's like a drug, you know.
• 25:49 I was really not happy.
• 25:51 I was really not happy being single, and I was just
• 25:54 so thankful when I looked at her.
• 25:56 The oxygen is sucked out of the room, you know?
• 25:59 And she's such a delight.
• 26:02 And, you know, five and a half years down the road, I love her
• 26:04 now more than when I started.
• 26:08 I just feel so blessed to have her.
• 26:10 I say, "She's the way, the truth, and the wife,"
• 26:12 and I say it all the time.
• 26:14 Kirsten: Yeah, but Isaac also, he had such a grieving,
• 26:19 I believe, over the loss of his mother, and then
• 26:21 here comes Rebekah.
• 26:22 She brings joy into his life.
• 26:24 Even at 40, at a later age.
• 26:25 Jeffrey: I think men suffer with being single more than
• 26:27 women do for a variety of reasons, but the Bible says it's
• 26:31 not good for a man to be alone, and I can say, "Amen," to that.
• 26:34 David: Amen, amen.
• 26:36 Kirsten: That's a good answer. David: Oh, yeah.
• 26:38 Kirsten: Well, thank you for your insight
• 26:39 and your teaching today, we appreciate that.
• 26:41 David: So much more to come.
• 26:43 It's the end of our program today.
