• 01:03 David: We are so glad you've joined us today.
• 01:05 I am David Hart.
• 01:06 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:07 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I am Jeffrey Seif, and we are gonna
• 01:11 look at patience, something in high demand but short supply.
• 01:15 We need it in this world, don't we?
• 01:17 Kirsten: All the time, every day.
• 01:20 I mean, we really do.
• 01:21 And I've gotta applaud David, King David, finally.
• 01:26 He did it. He waited it out.
• 01:29 Galatians 6:9 is one of your favorite verses, right?
• 01:31 I'm gonna put you on the spot.
• 01:33 David: "Let us never get tired of doing what is right,
• 01:35 for after a while we'll reap the harvest of blessing if we don't
• 01:39 get discouraged or give up," just like David.
• 01:42 Kirsten: He didn't.
• 01:43 David: We go now to our dramatic reenactment, and where
• 01:46 we finally see that David is king of Israel.
• 01:49 Let's go there now.
• 01:53 male narrator: I was among the leaders of the tribes of
• 01:56 Israel that day when we gathered in Hebron.
• 02:00 King Saul was dead, having taken his own life on the battlefield.
• 02:06 We had assembled at this place to anoint David as our new king.
• 02:11 David had proven himself to be a worthy leader
• 02:15 and a mighty warrior.
• 02:18 The covenant he shared with us that day assured us that the
• 02:22 Lord would continue to be our source in the days ahead.
• 02:26 He pledged his devotion, and we promised the same in return.
• 02:36 In the anointing of David, we witnessed the birth of a new
• 02:39 kingdom, a kingdom which we prayed would never pass away.

• 03:11 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I'm coming to you from the city of David.
• 03:15 At the southern part of what's known as the temple complex
• 03:18 today lie these ruins that have been here for centuries.
• 03:24 Some decades ago, they began to be unearthed.
• 03:27 Kathleen Kenyon, a famous archeologist, put her axe
• 03:33 into the soil here, as have others,
• 03:35 to try and reconstruct David's palace.
• 03:39 And I'm coming to you, yes, from the Acropolis, the very place,
• 03:44 if you can imagine that.
• 03:46 It's one of the benefits of teaching here from Israel.
• 03:48 We don't just tell the Bible story, we can give individuals a
• 03:51 window into it.
• 03:53 And what a story this is.
• 03:56 I wonder what David would have felt like, frankly.
• 03:58 He'd been on the run from Saul for the better part of 13 years,
• 04:02 if you can imagine that.
• 04:05 It's been a long time since Shmuel showed up and anointed
• 04:08 him, called him out from his father, set him up in the midst
• 04:13 of his brothers, and said that,
• 04:15 "You have an appointment with destiny."
• 04:18 I don't think it got to David's head because he wasn't walking
• 04:21 around like royalty afterward.
• 04:24 In fact, he was teased and pushed around by his brothers
• 04:27 and disrespected in the family.
• 04:29 And not only that, he wound up after--
• 04:32 you know the story of David and Goliath.
• 04:34 After all that, he winds up being on the run from Saul.
• 04:37 So just 'cause he was anointed by that prophet didn't mean that
• 04:40 he was going to profit from it anytime soon.
• 04:43 But it seems the case that God does have his appointments for
• 04:46 people, and if you can imagine the better part of 13 years
• 04:50 after he was busy taking flight from Saul, actually 13 years on
• 04:56 the run, finally this man comes into his destiny, at least the
• 05:01 first step of it, when elders gathered together at Hebron
• 05:06 and they appoint David as king.
• 05:09 They anoint him.
• 05:10 This story is told in 2 Samuel chapter 5, and it reads like
• 05:15 this, "All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and
• 05:22 King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord.
• 05:27 And they anointed David king over Israel."
• 05:32 This actually came to him in stages.
• 05:35 In fact, David's life came to him in stages.
• 05:38 And we're told here that first at Hebron, where he's going
• 05:40 to administrate from for a number of years,
• 05:44 that the zaqenim, the elders--
• 05:47 the word "elder," "zaqen" in Hebrew, is bearded one.
• 05:50 And what happens is is those with sechel, with smarts, they
• 05:54 realized they'd come to terms with who this man is and they're
• 05:57 acknowledging him.
• 05:59 And David is anointed, and we see that he comes into his
• 06:02 kingdom in stages.
• 06:05 I think this is a good point to underscore the fact that a lot
• 06:09 of times people come into their victories in stages.
• 06:14 This is important to underscore in a world
• 06:18 where we microwave everything.
• 06:20 We want it immediately.
• 06:22 Instant happiness, instant fortune, instant success in
• 06:25 life, that we wanna believe God's promises for our life,
• 06:30 and we want it instantly.
• 06:32 The problem with that is, in reality,
• 06:34 it's just not like that.
• 06:37 You might find a church that'll blow stardust in your face and
• 06:40 tell you that success in life is yours just for sitting in the
• 06:43 pew for a couple weeks and putting your money in the
• 06:45 offering plate, but I think that's overly simplistic,
• 06:48 personally.
• 06:50 And to my way of thinking, if something sounds too good
• 06:51 to be true, it probably is.
• 06:54 When we look at the story of David, we learn of a man who had
• 06:57 many trials on the way to the top.
• 07:00 And here I am, not at the top, but close to the top, as I'm
• 07:04 making my way up the--
• 07:06 up this little mount here that takes me up to where the Temple
• 07:10 Mount is, and this is the place, actually, where David later on
• 07:13 is going to make his name known through his capital city
• 07:17 here in Jerusalem.
• 07:19 And again, as we look into David's world, and we've been
• 07:23 doing that generally, but particularly in this program,
• 07:27 we're beginning by looking at his anointing, and then we'll
• 07:30 finish up by looking at David's excitement when the Ark
• 07:34 was brought into his city.
• 07:37 He was just so ecstatic, because David had a lot of challenges in
• 07:42 his life, but he learned through it all that if he would follow
• 07:45 the Lord, the Lord would lead him on successfully.
• 07:48 Like Paul said, "Thanks be to God who always
• 07:50 leads us in triumph."
• 07:52 And I'm reminded of that here as I stand in the ancient
• 07:55 City of David.
• 08:01 male narrator: It was cold and dark and foreboding, but
• 08:04 the king assured us that the secret to taking Jerusalem would
• 08:07 be through this water passage under the city.
• 08:10 In defiance, the Jebusites had stationed their blind
• 08:14 and lame around the city, little suspecting
• 08:17 an underground attack.
• 08:19 But King David was shrewd, a brave warrior who listened
• 08:22 to the Lord for direction.
• 08:25 We took the stronghold of Zion that day, and it became
• 08:28 the City of David, where the king would rule for 33 years.
• 08:38 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Almost directly beneath me here in the
• 08:41 city of David is a very famous tunnel, one that David
• 08:46 remembered his entire life.
• 08:48 Because, you know, after he was anointed king at Hebron,
• 08:52 it was--it came to him to contend
• 08:55 for the city of Jerusalem.
• 08:58 We're told in this chapter that I began reading in the previous
• 09:01 segment, verse 6 and on, that David wanted Jerusalem,
• 09:07 and the Yebusi, or the Jebusites, taunted him, saying,
• 09:12 "This dog will never be able to enter into our stronghold."
• 09:16 They had the high place, and well fortified,
• 09:19 but the Lord gave David a strategy, not just a vision.
• 09:24 He had a vision for a capital city.
• 09:26 And after taking it, by the way, we're told that the Lord
• 09:29 made his name great.
• 09:31 Actually, it's the way this little section finishes up in
• 09:34 verse 10, "So David went on and became great there
• 09:38 from his capital city."
• 09:40 But the Lord didn't just give him a vision, he gave him
• 09:43 a strategy for accomplishing it.
• 09:46 And why is that?
• 09:47 Because the road to success in life is marked with many perils.
• 09:52 It seems that success doesn't just open up to us magically.
• 09:56 I know you may well find a church or someplace to sit,
• 10:00 and a preacher will say, "Listen, just believe
• 10:02 this doctrine, and sit here, and you know,
• 10:04 put your money in the offering plate,
• 10:06 and presto, life's just gonna come up for you good."
• 10:10 Well, I do believe that God has a good plan for our life, to be
• 10:14 sure, but coming here from the City of David, coming here from
• 10:21 just atop the tunnel that his men went into to fight, I wanna
• 10:27 tell you that while God has a good plan for us, it still is
• 10:30 incumbent upon us to contend for it if we wanna be
• 10:35 David-like leaders.
• 10:37 It seems to me that especially, by the way, in the day and time
• 10:41 in which we live, I believe that godly people need
• 10:45 to recover that contending.
• 10:47 And why is that?
• 10:49 Because we have work to do.
• 10:52 My concern is, frankly, that Christian faith and virtue
• 10:56 is getting away from us.
• 10:58 I believe that our government is getting away from us.
• 11:02 I believe that family values are getting away from us.
• 11:05 I believe that personal righteousness
• 11:07 is getting away from us.
• 11:09 And we need to have that militant edge be given to
• 11:13 contending for our destiny in God.
• 11:16 I believe those that are thus minded can enjoy good success by
• 11:20 virtue of their being armed with that particular disposition.
• 11:24 In any case here, we're looking at a story where David
• 11:26 tells his men, "Let's arm up and go for it, guys."
• 11:29 There's a vision and there's a strategy.
• 11:31 He says in verse 7--
• 11:33 well, in verse 6 at the end, they said,
• 11:35 "David can't come here."
• 11:37 But David, on the other hand, "Took the stronghold of Zion,"
• 11:40 we're told.
• 11:42 He took it. He seized it.
• 11:44 "David said on that day,
• 11:45 'Whoever climbs up by the way of the water shaft,'"
• 11:48 just beneath me here, "and defeats them."
• 11:52 Well, this is where command is.
• 11:54 Success in life, we're told in the text, is gonna go to those
• 11:57 who contend for it.
• 11:59 Now, I want you to hear me on this please.
• 12:02 I believe that in America we have it way too easy,
• 12:05 and many of us are way too spoiled.
• 12:08 We think we're entitled to success in life.
• 12:11 David didn't just give away commands in his army.
• 12:14 It went to the brave.
• 12:16 It went to the courageous.
• 12:18 It went to those that wanted to serve him and who by dint of
• 12:22 determination, they armed up for the struggle and they took some
• 12:27 risks in order to accomplish it.
• 12:29 And God was with them, and David honored that.
• 12:34 Why is that?
• 12:35 Because fundamentally he was that.
• 12:37 And what's that?
• 12:39 An entrepreneurial spirit, a winning attitude, someone that
• 12:44 wants to believe God and go for it, to stand for something,
• 12:47 to go against something, to contend, to press in.
• 12:51 Where is that?
• 12:53 By the way, I believe that we need that now more than ever.
• 13:01 The males in our culture are enculturated into being
• 13:03 effeminate, worriers not warriors.
• 13:06 We need to have that believing, going for it, that dogged
• 13:11 determination to believe God for a great future, to serve,
• 13:16 to carve out space in this world.
• 13:19 I'm of the ilk that still believes, even in a difficult
• 13:23 Goliath-like world, I believe that David-like folk can have
• 13:27 success in life.
• 13:29 And I'm reminded of that as I sit in this historic place, made
• 13:33 famous because of the bravery and courage of David and his men
• 13:38 many thousands of years ago.

• 15:14 Individuals who worship the Lord ascribe value to what

• 17:10 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: He didn't do a very good job of containing
• 17:13 himself, now did he?
• 17:14 He invoked the ire of his wife who thought he was playing
• 17:17 the fool in front of the masses.
• 17:19 And why is that?
• 17:21 It's because David was so very ecstatic when the Ark
• 17:26 was brought into the city.
• 17:27 He was beside himself.
• 17:30 And the reason is is because he knew that it was the Lord who
• 17:33 placed him where he was.
• 17:35 He credited the Lord with his success.
• 17:39 The Lord gave him favor.
• 17:41 With a net result, he was able to carve out a kingdom.
• 17:44 And here we are right now in the place where he made his name
• 17:50 to dwell, here in the City of David.
• 17:54 This is just one little corner of a big archeological site.
• 17:59 Friends, I'm coming to you from the palace of David,
• 18:04 if you can imagine that.
• 18:06 Oh, the place is abuzz with activity, the site itself.
• 18:11 Now, tourists can't come right here.
• 18:13 We're beneath the scaffolding.
• 18:16 We got permission to come and take you where people don't
• 18:19 venture to go, but that's a Zola Levitt trademark, isn't it?
• 18:24 We have a cistern over here, various store rooms, restrooms,
• 18:30 bedrooms, living rooms, closets, whatever.
• 18:34 Whatever the stuff of a palace is made of, David's palace
• 18:38 in particular, here we are.
• 18:42 I'd like you to turn in your Bibles, please, to give you a
• 18:45 biblical address.
• 18:48 Usually homes have an address.
• 18:50 Well, there's a biblical address attached to the story for today
• 18:55 in 2 Samuel chapter 6, verse 14, "David danced before the Lord
• 19:02 with all his might.
• 19:05 David was wearing a linen ephod," we're told.
• 19:09 "Now as the Ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal,
• 19:14 Saul's daughter looked through a window and saw David leaping
• 19:18 and whirling before the Lord, and she despised him
• 19:23 in her heart."
• 19:25 Let me speak to you about this for a second.
• 19:27 It seems to me that David wasn't just the kind of guy whose wife
• 19:31 drug him to church on Sundays.
• 19:34 Well, it wasn't a church back then.
• 19:36 It's not like his wife is nudging him, you know?
• 19:38 You know, usually, it's, you know, the lady of the house
• 19:40 that's religious, and the guy just kind of gets shooed along
• 19:43 for the sake of the kids or whatever.
• 19:45 No, this is a guy who really is thrilled.
• 19:50 David seems to be experiencing an ecstatic moment here.
• 19:54 There's abandon.
• 19:56 He doesn't really care what his wife thinks, what people think.
• 19:59 He's just so excited.
• 20:00 And why is that?
• 20:02 Because David more than anyone
• 20:04 credits God with his success in life.
• 20:09 Now, I want you to hear me on this, please, that, you know,
• 20:12 for some people it's just a religious tradition, but I
• 20:14 believe that if we'll walk with God, it's not an easy road and
• 20:19 it's not a quick road, but you're gonna be better off in
• 20:22 life if you walk with him than if you disregard him and just,
• 20:27 you know, break out your own machete and carve a path through
• 20:29 the wilderness of this world.
• 20:31 David learned that.
• 20:33 Began this program that reminding that though he had his
• 20:35 challenges, first with Goliath, well, first with his family that
• 20:40 didn't believe in him, and then Goliath, and his brothers were
• 20:43 taunting him out there in the field, and then he runs from
• 20:46 Saul, if you can imagine that.
• 20:48 Thirteen years on the run, but you know what?
• 20:51 God used the experience to build him up.
• 20:53 Now, I want you to hear me.
• 20:55 I believe that we have a God who leads us in triumph, and I
• 20:59 believe that the males of our species need to recover that
• 21:02 kind of triumphalism, that believing God for great things.
• 21:06 And I want you to know that if we'll put God first, there's a
• 21:10 verse that Yeshua said, that if we'd seek first God's kingdom
• 21:15 and his righteousness, then other things
• 21:18 would be added unto us.
• 21:20 Here in the City of David that was carved out many years ago,
• 21:24 I'm reminded of the fact that this God who is the same today,
• 21:28 yesterday, and forever, wants to make a name for anyone
• 21:32 who wants to cast their name among his disciples.
• 21:35 And why don't you do that?
• 21:36 I believe that we live in Goliath-like times, but
• 21:39 David-like men and women who stand up, who contend, I believe
• 21:44 that we can expect good things from God, even in a world
• 21:47 where good news is in high demand but short supply.

• 22:06 I grew up a pastor's son.

• 22:59 They weren't gathering together in church houses
• 23:01 for any kind of experience.
• 23:02 You know, the synagogues were 500 years down the road til you

• 23:31 Kirsten: The Ark was back.
• 23:34 That's why, right?
• 23:36 I mean, the Ark was back.
• 23:38 They had possession of it once again.
• 23:40 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And the Ark was perceived as the throne,
• 23:42 and there's something beautiful in that, that when--
• 23:44 It wasn't until David, you know, welcomed God back on the throne
• 23:50 with that, til then the Lord welcomed David onto the throne.
• 23:55 You know, it's kind of like the proverbial, "Seek first his
• 23:58 kingdom, and everything else will be yours."
• 24:00 It's a classic example of David putting the Lord first,
• 24:04 subsequent to which then David comes in his own more fully.
• 24:07 David knew he was who he was where he was because of God,
• 24:12 who he was and where he was.
• 24:14 God put him there and it's his way of turning
• 24:16 and saying thank you.
• 24:18 Kirsten: And we celebrate the fact that he celebrated that Ark
• 24:23 coming in, and it's unbelievable because he was celebrating the
• 24:26 presence of the Lord coming back into his area and his life, and
• 24:32 that is available to you 24/7.
• 24:34 The Lord himself wants to come in and dwell within your ark,
• 24:38 if you will.
• 24:39 We'll be right back.
• 24:44 male announcer: "For the Lord thy God bringeth thee
• 24:46 into a good land.
• 24:49 A land of fig trees and pomegranates.
• 24:52 A land of olive oil and honey.
• 24:56 Arise, walk through the land, for all the land which thou
• 25:01 seeth, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever."
• 25:09 Worship in the shadows of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• 25:15 Behold the land of the covenant.
• 25:23 Kirsten: It's an incredible opportunity to walk, not only
• 25:27 where Jesus walked in the holy land, but to experience
• 25:30 the land of King David and the City of David.
• 25:34 It's spectacular.
• 25:36 We take you there on our tours every single time.
• 25:39 Now, let's go to the wonderful holy land, the promised land,
• 25:43 and hear from our friend Chaim Malespin.

• 25:54 Chaim Malespin: Some people ask me what's the difference
• 25:56 between the secular viewpoint and the ultra-orthodox viewpoint
• 25:59 of our Temple Mount, you know, where Haram al-Sharif is.
• 26:04 Well, you know, in the Six Day War in 1967, we were able before
• 26:08 that to visit freely the Temple Mount, understanding that it's
• 26:11 administered by the Jordanian Waqf, but only Muslims were
• 26:15 allowed to pray there.
• 26:16 Even Moshe Dayan said that only Muslims should pray
• 26:19 on the Temple Mount.
• 26:21 Well, the truth be told, that's not what the Bible says,
• 26:23 so those who read the Bible suddenly have a different
• 26:25 viewpoint of the Temple Mount.
• 26:27 And even this new synagogue, which is inaugurated under
• 26:29 the Temple Mount, is a true depiction of the mindset
• 26:34 of the religious, those who read the Bible.
• 26:37 They say yes, we should be able to pray at the holiest site to
• 26:41 the Jewish people in the world, which is not a holy site
• 26:44 to the Muslims.
• 26:45 I wanna say that God's will will be done.
• 26:47 Let's put aside the politics and the religion and focus on
• 26:50 the God of Israel and what he would wish to have
• 26:53 on his Temple Mount.

• 27:02 David: Kirsten and I enjoy looking at real estate in
• 27:04 America, and we would say that it's a hot market right now.
• 27:09 Talk about hot market, the Temple Mount.
• 27:12 Kirsten: That's it.
• 27:14 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I mean, you rang the bell
• 27:15 with that point, David.
• 27:17 It is so very, very true.
• 27:18 It's one of the reasons why I believe there's value in our
• 27:20 ministry, because we stay there.
• 27:22 We focus on that eight-ball.
• 27:24 And I don't just mean rhetorically verbal.
• 27:26 I mean with our cameras, we're in and out of Israel,
• 27:29 and we're going to be looking at the action in Jerusalem,
• 27:32 which is ground zero for amazing things to come
• 27:37 in the prophetic calendar.
• 27:39 Kirsten: Well, going there, when we take tours there,
• 27:41 we walk the steps of Yeshua himself.
• 27:44 One day he will be there again, walking those very streets,
• 27:48 and we'll be there with him.
• 27:50 What an incredible, incredible future we have.
• 27:52 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Indeed.
• 27:53 David: Thank you for your insight today.
• 27:55 We have much more in this series.
• 27:56 We end our program today with this.
• 27:57 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Thank you.
• 27:59 "Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim."
• 28:01 David: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
