Caption transcript for “Introducing the Bearded Bible Brothers”

  • 00:01 David Hart: On today's program-- standalone program--
  • 00:04 we have two guys that look like
  • 00:05 they literally jumped out of the Bible.
  • 00:07 You're not going to want to miss it.
  • 00:08 Stay with us.

  • 00:18 David: Thank you so much for joining us today.
  • 00:20 I am David Hart.
  • 00:21 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
  • 00:23 Dr. Seif isn't with us because we have two very special guests,
  • 00:27 and we hope that you will recognize these guys.
  • 00:30 They're all over our social media.
  • 00:33 David: And they have for a while.
  • 00:35 They've been with us for a while.
  • 00:36 Kirsten: 2018 they started.
  • 00:38 They were but wee little babes back then.
  • 00:41 [laughs]
  • 00:42 They are the Bearded Bible Brothers,
  • 00:45 and they really are bearded,
  • 00:47 they love the Bible, and they are brothers.
  • 00:51 And I think we have some footage from 2018
  • 00:54 when they were just little lads.
  • 00:56 Here they are. Roll it.

  • 01:14 Caleb Colson: All right, the fidget spinner's going.
  • 01:16 Joshua Colson: Oh hi, I'm Joshua.
  • 01:17 Caleb: And I'm Caleb.
  • 01:18 Joshua: We're brothers, but we're not twins.
  • 01:21 Why would you think that? That makes no sense.
  • 01:22 Caleb: The beards, the beards, makes everybody look alike.
  • 01:24 Joshua: I've got, like, gray in my beard.
  • 01:25 Shave us, and we look totally different.
  • 01:27 But I'm not going to shave, so don't ask.
  • 01:29 Caleb: Anyways, we are Messianic believers.
  • 01:31 We've both been a part of Zola Levitt Ministries
  • 01:33 for many years, behind the scenes.
  • 01:35 Joshua: Like a decade.
  • 01:36 That's, like, 10 whole years, at least.
  • 01:38 Caleb: You may have seen our faces a few times.
  • 01:39 I've been Paul.
  • 01:40 Joshua: I've been Samson, I've been in Israel filming all
  • 01:42 over the country for you guys.
  • 01:45 Caleb: You've actually done a lot of missionary work,
  • 01:46 haven't you?
  • 01:47 Joshua: I've been to 36 countries and 49 states,
  • 01:49 and I'm so frustrated with Alaska, 'cause I can't seem
  • 01:51 to find my way, but I will.
  • 01:52 Caleb: Not a lot of Jews in Alaska right now,
  • 01:54 but we support you if you are.
  • 01:56 Joshua: We do.
  • 01:58 We love the ministry here because it brings so much
  • 02:01 understanding to our faith and to the understanding
  • 02:05 that Yeshua is the Messiah.
  • 02:09 Kirsten: I'm a grandma, I'm an old grandma,
  • 02:10 so this is safe for me to say, "Y'all are adorable."
  • 02:14 Joshua: Yes!
  • 02:16 Kirsten: And cute.
  • 02:17 Caleb: Well, thank you.
  • 02:18 Kirsten: So where did this-- I don't understand this
  • 02:19 "Bearded Bible Brothers."
  • 02:21 It seems such a random thing to title your program.
  • 02:24 Joshua: It's a stretch, obviously.
  • 02:25 Some things in life are more metaphor than literal.
  • 02:28 If you can look to the heart of our intent I think
  • 02:30 you'll see why.
  • 02:32 Kirsten: And can we explain to people, if they have not seen
  • 02:33 your program on our social media, you really are brothers.
  • 02:37 Caleb: We are, by blood.
  • 02:39 He is the elder, so I adhere to his wisdom in the matter
  • 02:42 and his grayness.
  • 02:43 Joshua: He adheres to nothing but the grayness, yes.
  • 02:46 Caleb: But yeah, he's-- we're 2 years apart,
  • 02:48 and our mother's Jewish.
  • 02:50 Our father, who we thought was Goy,
  • 02:52 has recently been proven to have Jewish ancestry in him.
  • 02:55 Joshua: Which that's kind of like a Hanukkah present, really.
  • 02:57 You thought you were Goy your whole life and then--
  • 02:58 Kirsten: What percentage?
  • 03:00 Caleb: I don't know.
  • 03:01 His grandmother, I think, was Jewish.
  • 03:03 Joshua: So there's still the love.
  • 03:04 Kirsten: Oh, that's kind of neat.
  • 03:06 Caleb: But we grew up in a believing household, believing
  • 03:07 in Yeshua as our Messiah, so there wasn't that kind of
  • 03:09 confusion that most Jews grow up with, you know, "Oh,
  • 03:12 I believe in the Father," and there's no Son involved, but--
  • 03:15 Joshua: Didn't have to go through that transition.
  • 03:17 Caleb: It can be very confusing to young Jewish men.
  • 03:19 Kirsten: Yeah, I love it.
  • 03:21 So, grew up in the same home, obviously.
  • 03:24 Joshua: We shared an 8 by 10 room
  • 03:26 for the first 18 years of our life.
  • 03:28 Caleb: Eighteen years.
  • 03:29 We were at each other's throats until I got married,
  • 03:30 and then we started loving each other.
  • 03:32 I don't know why, you know?
  • 03:33 Kirsten: Did you battle, like, fight as kids?
  • 03:35 Caleb: Oh yeah, we--
  • 03:36 Joshua: The interesting thing that you find about the way,
  • 03:37 I think, God does things, is that we always think
  • 03:39 that agreeing on everything is what makes something,
  • 03:41 you know, beneficial.
  • 03:43 But usually, if everybody agrees on something, then we have
  • 03:45 a bunch of weak areas that aren't addressed.
  • 03:47 So in all the things that I'm naturally good at,
  • 03:49 he does not like or those are not his strengths.
  • 03:52 And in everything, which is a lot more, that he's good at,
  • 03:55 I have no desire to better myself in.
  • 03:57 So, while we, you know, in the natural, fought a lot growing
  • 04:00 up, when we finally got our own space
  • 04:02 that wasn't an 8 by 10 prison cell of a bedroom,
  • 04:05 all of a sudden we saw the value in it,
  • 04:08 and God has blessed us that it complements each other so well,
  • 04:11 because in an area where I might go off the rails in my lack of
  • 04:16 restriction, he has guidance and direction and purpose, and it's
  • 04:20 just been awesome to be able to use our strengths together
  • 04:23 instead of just, you know, hitting each other
  • 04:26 like that--I'm sorry, that was harder than I figured.
  • 04:28 Kirsten: Hit him back, hit him back.
  • 04:29 Caleb: His muscles are three times larger than me.
  • 04:31 But Josh has his giftings.
  • 04:32 I know what they are: to evangelize, to preach.
  • 04:37 I--my gifting is to teach and, so we know when to let
  • 04:40 the other take over and move back and forth.
  • 04:42 But we both agree on matters pertaining to the Word,
  • 04:45 and that's what really matters.
  • 04:47 David: I want to talk about this guy for a second.
  • 04:48 I'm a little nervous right now because I feel like I'm
  • 04:51 interviewing Moses.
  • 04:52 Caleb: Look at--buff Moses.
  • 04:54 Joshua: Yeah, let my people go.
  • 04:57 I've learned that when you don't have a lot of information
  • 04:58 to give, just look important.
  • 05:00 Kirsten: Look all biblical, yeah.
  • 05:02 David: You've played a lot of characters on film--
  • 05:05 Kirsten: On our programs.
  • 05:07 David: On our programs many times.
  • 05:09 Can you tell us about maybe a favorite or a moment
  • 05:12 that you've had?
  • 05:14 Joshua: Well, I mean, there's a lot of characters
  • 05:15 you can play in the Bible.
  • 05:16 Surprisingly, Samson was a fun one because who doesn't want
  • 05:19 to be, like, the strongest guy ever, even with his flaws?
  • 05:22 That was the first time I got to shoot in Israel.
  • 05:25 It was shooting with the program which was incredible,
  • 05:27 to be able to go there and film that, and then I got
  • 05:31 to portray Samson in the series--
  • 05:34 Caleb: "She Shall be Called Woman."
  • 05:35 Joshua: "She Shall be Called Woman."
  • 05:37 No, I've been very blessed because I guess I've just been
  • 05:38 given a nice biblical look.
  • 05:39 All I have to do is stop shaving, and I get to be any
  • 05:42 character in the Bible I want to that's a male.
  • 05:43 But I played Jesus.
  • 05:45 I played Jesus, Yeshua, for--over the last 20 years.
  • 05:48 When I turned 21, I grew my hair and beard out for the first time
  • 05:50 and people just go, "His initials are JC, his mother's
  • 05:53 name is Mary, he's Jewish, he wasn't divinely conceived
  • 05:56 but four out of five makes it, so you know."
  • 05:58 Kirsten: Can we touch you?
  • 05:59 Wow.
  • 06:01 Joshua: And now, as I get towards the more twilight
  • 06:03 of my life, I guess I'm gearing up for Moses,
  • 06:06 so we'll see what happens next.
  • 06:08 Kirsten: That's good, 'cause he's one of my favorites.
  • 06:09 Joshua: Yes!
  • 06:11 Kirsten: And we have more to come with you.
  • 06:12 We want--we have some questions for you guys.
  • 06:15 But right now let's see more of the famous
  • 06:18 Bearded Bible Brothers.
  • 06:21 male: Three, two, one.
  • 06:24 Joshua: Hey, everybody. I'm Joshua.
  • 06:25 Caleb: And I am Caleb.
  • 06:27 Joshua: We're brothers, and we love each other so much.
  • 06:29 Guys, the Internet is a terrifying place.
  • 06:32 You should never go.
  • 06:34 There's evil things everywhere.
  • 06:35 Caleb: Wait, wait, wait. We're on the Internet.
  • 06:37 Joshua: You should always go to good things on the Internet.
  • 06:38 That's why we're here.
  • 06:40 Joshua: After going all year long with, like, 800 episodes of
  • 06:43 controversial topics and all the emails and all of your wrath,
  • 06:49 we finally get to have an episode where it's just about
  • 06:53 8 wonderful nights of celebration.
  • 06:55 I couldn't be more excited, and I--
  • 06:59 Caleb: "To everything there is a season,
  • 07:01 A time for every purpose under heaven:
  • 07:04 A time to be born, And a time to die;
  • 07:07 A time to plant,
  • 07:09 And a time to pluck what is planted;
  • 07:11 A time to kill, And a time to heal;
  • 07:14 A time to break down, And a time to build up:
  • 07:18 A time to weep, And a time to laugh."
  • 07:22 Joshua: Ohh. Agh!
  • 07:24 It's toasted--agh.
  • 07:29 Oh, thank you.
  • 07:31 Joshua: Welcome to the Swear Bell.
  • 07:32 Every time one of us says something that's going to offend
  • 07:34 you, we're going to ring a bell.
  • 07:36 [ringing]
  • 07:37 Joshua: Follow along in the counter on the screen.
  • 07:39 It'll let you know angry you are by the end of the episode.
  • 07:41 Caleb: I'm already--no!
  • 07:42 Joshua: A little caffeine, try this.
  • 07:43 Caleb: You did this to me last year.
  • 07:45 Joshua: In your mouth, the whole--
  • 07:47 Joshua: I've got an idea.
  • 07:48 Caleb: What, Josh?
  • 07:49 Joshua: We're going to play a game, okay?
  • 07:51 It's a drink--
  • 07:52 [ringing]
  • 07:53 Joshua: It's a game where every time you say
  • 07:55 the word "devil," you have to eat a candy corn.
  • 07:59 That one's cranberry.
  • 08:00 Caleb: But we're not supposed to focus on the devil
  • 08:02 at this time of year.
  • 08:03 Joshua: We're not going to focus on the devil, but every
  • 08:04 time you say it I'm going to teach you not to love it
  • 08:06 by giving you something that tastes like gravy.
  • 08:07 Caleb: Okay, I didn't say it.
  • 08:08 Joshua: Like this candy corn.
  • 08:09 For instance, sugar is the devil.

  • 08:23 Caleb: Josh, Josh, Josh.
  • 08:25 Josh: Hmm?
  • 08:27 Caleb: Guys, we are at war.
  • 08:28 Our kingdom is at war with Satan's kingdom.
  • 08:31 We are a part of the kingdom of God,
  • 08:33 and Satan is the god of this world, with a little G,
  • 08:36 and Matthew 11:12 says: "The kingdom of heaven
  • 08:39 suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."
  • 08:42 I think Christians lately have become too timid.
  • 08:45 We're like lambs led to the slaughter.
  • 08:47 We give up before the battle even starts.
  • 08:50 We're afraid of offending anyone.
  • 08:51 We're afraid of getting on anyone's bad side.
  • 08:54 When conflict arises, and it is, with the world against the
  • 08:57 church, we sort of hand Satan the dagger and say,
  • 09:00 "Please don't make it hurt too much."
  • 09:01 Joshua: That's something we forget sometimes.
  • 09:03 We look at these characters in the Bible, it's very easy to
  • 09:05 look at them for their high points and say,
  • 09:07 "These guys did amazing things.
  • 09:08 I could never do anything like that."
  • 09:10 But we get so focused on the negative aspects of our life,
  • 09:13 and we give up prematurely.
  • 09:15 Caleb: And we know the Shema:
  • 09:16 [speaking in Hebrew]
  • 09:19 "Hear, O Israel:
  • 09:20 The Lord our God, the Lord is one!
  • 09:22 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
  • 09:25 soul, mind, and strength."
  • 09:26 That's the key to it.
  • 09:28 You forgot to love God.
  • 09:29 You started loving everything else, the idols,
  • 09:31 and the idolatry always speaks.
  • 09:32 And if you return back to your first love, the love of God,
  • 09:36 there goes apostasy, there goes the false teaching,
  • 09:38 there goes the deception.
  • 09:39 It's all gone.
  • 09:40 Joshua: But at the end of the day, if love is what spurring
  • 09:42 God to send Yeshua down for us, an action, right?
  • 09:46 And love is what spurring Yeshua to live a spotless, blame-free
  • 09:50 life and then die on the cross for us, another action, wouldn't
  • 09:54 it make sense that action on our part in representation of that
  • 09:57 love is what we need to do for the world around us?
  • 10:00 You were created for more than just getting to heaven.
  • 10:02 Caleb: That's right.
  • 10:04 Joshua: You were created for more
  • 10:05 than just escaping hellfire.
  • 10:06 You were created for a purpose that is on this earth right now
  • 10:09 and fulfilling that purpose is directly related to the benefit
  • 10:12 of other people that Yeshua created as well.
  • 10:15 He made you to be an ambassador to others,
  • 10:17 to bring his love to others.
  • 10:18 And when we fulfill those things that he's asked us to do now,
  • 10:21 like Caleb said, when it's our time, when we get caught away
  • 10:23 with him, and we go into that next stage, and he says,
  • 10:25 "You did your job.
  • 10:27 Well done, my good and faithful servant.
  • 10:28 This is your reward."
  • 10:30 Everything that God wants you to have,
  • 10:32 'cause he knows the desires of your heart,
  • 10:33 will be added when you seek him first.
  • 10:35 That's the order, that's what it boils down to.
  • 10:38 Caleb: "The End," and join us next time.
  • 10:40 Joshua: No, it's never the end.
  • 10:42 Just like episode 105, they're going to keep coming.
  • 10:45 But you're welcome, I think.
  • 10:48 David: We are on the set today with Joshua and Caleb.
  • 10:51 Caleb not only is at the seat today but you are behind
  • 10:55 the scenes every week.
  • 10:57 Caleb: That is correct. For 17 years.
  • 10:59 David: Tell everybody kind of what your role is here.
  • 11:02 You have a lot of roles.
  • 11:03 Caleb: Editor, editor.
  • 11:04 Yeah, editor, camera guy.
  • 11:06 I've been with Zola Levitt Ministries
  • 11:08 when it was "Zola Presents," now it's "Our Jewish Roots,"
  • 11:10 and y'all guys host and it's been a blessing.
  • 11:13 I mean, we watched Zola when we were kids on TV and then to be
  • 11:17 thrust into making the episodes, it's been fun, and I've also
  • 11:21 been able to cameo, you know, on the show.
  • 11:24 I'm Jewish, I have the looks.
  • 11:26 I was Paul in the first episode of "A Rabbi from Tarsus."
  • 11:28 David: Love it.
  • 11:30 Kirsten: We've seen that, and we literally thought
  • 11:31 you were there.
  • 11:32 I mean, what you do with your editing, it's--
  • 11:35 Caleb: Green screen work.
  • 11:36 Kirsten: It's fantastic.
  • 11:38 So you grew up watching the program, and I know Bearded
  • 11:40 Bible Brothers is just part of what you've done under the whole
  • 11:43 umbrella of Zola Levitt Ministries, and you've done
  • 11:48 voiceover work too, haven't you, as well as on camera.
  • 11:51 Joshua: Voiceover, promo spots, playing characters,
  • 11:54 I did some editing for a time period, did some camera work
  • 11:57 for a time period before, actually, you were on the show.
  • 11:59 Caleb: Yeah.
  • 12:01 Joshua: So our investment is in the purpose of the ministry,
  • 12:03 which is to reach everyone with the understanding that Yeshua
  • 12:07 is the Messiah and be able to educate them in saying,
  • 12:10 "He came for you, he's here, choose him,"
  • 12:12 so that they can escape an eternity in hell.
  • 12:14 Caleb: Because there's so much biblical illiteracy going
  • 12:17 on in the church, the church as an institution right now.
  • 12:21 And no one really preaches the Word.
  • 12:23 And so when we got together, and we were talking about, you know,
  • 12:26 what are we going to focus on this program?
  • 12:29 The basics: get back to the Word, and try to reach people
  • 12:32 with that desire, that hunger, to get more into the Word,
  • 12:34 'cause that's your daily bread.
  • 12:36 And if you don't eat your daily bread, you're going to be
  • 12:38 starving, you're going to be this, you know, skeleton of
  • 12:40 a believer and you come against the enemy
  • 12:43 and you have no strength.
  • 12:45 But if you don't have the sword of the Spirit,
  • 12:46 you don't know the living Word of God,
  • 12:48 and you're going to stumble and fall.
  • 12:49 Kirsten: And you've--sorry, I didn't mean to jump on you.
  • 12:51 You've done some interesting topics.
  • 12:53 Caleb: Right, yeah.
  • 12:55 Kirsten: So what are some of your hot topics, should I say,
  • 12:57 that you've done on BBB that people have watched?
  • 13:00 Joshua: Every topic is hot, every topic is--
  • 13:02 Caleb: Nothing is off limits.
  • 13:03 Joshua: Every time I get a script from this man right here,
  • 13:05 I go, "Here's another reason the Internet's
  • 13:07 going to hate me today.
  • 13:08 I can't say any of that."
  • 13:10 Caleb: Well, I mean, we started off with short episodes,
  • 13:12 3 to 5 minutes, and then when COVID hit, it's like God gave us
  • 13:16 these long, you know, really in deep, educational, instructional
  • 13:20 topics on Scripture because people were locked away
  • 13:23 in their homes, and they couldn't go to church.
  • 13:26 And we still went out every day and people were afraid and God
  • 13:28 said, "Psalm 91, you don't have to be afraid of the plague,
  • 13:32 the pestilence, you know, the enemy," and we pray that over
  • 13:36 our homes, and we declare that, you know, the enemy isn't going
  • 13:38 to touch us, but we want to speak that to our followers,
  • 13:42 to followers of "Our Jewish Roots" as well.
  • 13:44 And since then our--people who have watched online have grown
  • 13:49 and how many followers are on YouTube and Facebook,
  • 13:51 and we're on more platforms than ever, you know.
  • 13:54 Twitter, we're on Instagram.
  • 13:56 Joshua: We tweet?
  • 13:57 Caleb: We tweet.
  • 13:59 Joshua: I had no idea we tweet.
  • 14:00 Kirsten: Tweet is still there?
  • 14:01 Caleb: There's so much going on, but our purpose hasn't changed,
  • 14:03 and that is to equip the body of Christ with that
  • 14:08 adequacy of knowledge, of knowing who you are in Messiah
  • 14:13 and also being able to go out and do what we do
  • 14:16 and just tell people about Yeshua.
  • 14:18 David: Yeah, you said the word ministry,
  • 14:20 which it really is, but you're not standing behind a pulpit.
  • 14:24 You are creative in the way that you do it.
  • 14:26 Caleb: That's right.
  • 14:27 Joshua: What did Yeshua say?
  • 14:28 He said go, go out.
  • 14:30 And so too many times we think of ministry
  • 14:31 being behind the pulpit.
  • 14:32 It's one man back there.
  • 14:33 I go to listen to his instruction one time a week,
  • 14:35 and that sets me.
  • 14:37 But when Yeshua was going up to the Father, what did he say?
  • 14:38 He said, "All of you, go out.
  • 14:40 Tell everybody what you've seen, what you heard,
  • 14:41 teach them," you know, "Show them me,"
  • 14:43 and so that's the point is, we're here to equip believers
  • 14:46 with the fact that you have the Word of God,
  • 14:48 now go give that out to others.
  • 14:49 Kirsten: In your way, in your creative way, in your lane,
  • 14:53 but it's making a difference.
  • 14:56 And people are watching, and I think we're going to watch
  • 14:58 a little bit more of what you guys bring to the Internet
  • 15:01 and social media.
  • 15:03 Here they are, Bearded Bible Brothers.
  • 15:06 Joshua: Hey, everybody. I'm Joshua.
  • 15:08 Caleb: And I'm Caleb.
  • 15:09 Joshua: And we're brothers.
  • 15:11 Caleb: Josh, why does your voice sound female?
  • 15:14 Joshua: What are you talking about, "female"?
  • 15:16 I'm just the man I've always been.
  • 15:17 Caleb: You sound like a girl, dude.
  • 15:18 Joshua: Hold on, I can't hear anything with these masks on.
  • 15:21 Joshua: [exhaling] Sorry, guys.
  • 15:23 Caleb: Ah, that's better now.
  • 15:25 Joshua: We're family, we're allowed to do this together.
  • 15:26 Caleb: Voice-altering masks.
  • 15:28 Joshua: A lot of stuff's been going on in the world lately,
  • 15:30 everything from COVID-19 to all the rules like this.
  • 15:35 Caleb: The mask thing?
  • 15:36 Joshua: It's really got a lot of people going back
  • 15:37 to Scripture to kind of find out if all this stuff is
  • 15:41 happening, what's happening next?
  • 15:42 Joshua: Let me tell you something you don't know.
  • 15:44 We've had probably over 200 people post and argue their
  • 15:48 points about who they believe.
  • 15:51 The two witnesses in the Bible are, but guys, spoiler alert:
  • 15:54 it's Caleb and I.
  • 15:55 Caleb: That's right, Joshua and Caleb
  • 15:56 were the two witnesses.
  • 15:57 Joshua: You ready for some good end-times action?
  • 15:58 Let's do it.
  • 16:00 I'm kidding, it's not really us.
  • 16:01 Caleb: C'mon, c'mon.
  • 16:05 [laughing]
  • 16:09 Joshua: Ah, dang it, it's one-ply.
  • 16:13 Caleb: We just want you to know in the week that we talked
  • 16:15 to you last, God hasn't changed.
  • 16:18 Joshua: What?
  • 16:19 I heard that everything changed.
  • 16:20 Caleb: God hasn't changed.
  • 16:21 Joshua: You can't even have church,
  • 16:23 how do you know he hasn't changed?
  • 16:24 Caleb: Things look bad, and we know they're affecting the
  • 16:27 entire world, and we told you last time to put your faith and
  • 16:31 your trust in God, but he's going to take care of you.
  • 16:33 He can heal your diseases, he can keep you from the plague,
  • 16:37 and we want you to know that hasn't changed just because
  • 16:39 a week has gone by and things look incredibly worse.
  • 16:41 Caleb: And as Scripture goes, this false Messiah is probably
  • 16:43 going to be the false prophet.
  • 16:45 The Jews don't--never have believed that the Messiah's
  • 16:47 going to be the Son of God.
  • 16:48 They always believe he's going to be the prophet
  • 16:50 that Moses spoke of.
  • 16:52 So if you read the description, Josh, of the false prophet in
  • 16:55 Revelation, he's described as a beast that comes
  • 16:57 out of the earth.
  • 16:58 Anytime in prophecy when something comes out of the
  • 17:00 earth, the earth represents the Jewish people, Adam,
  • 17:03 which came out and different from the beast, the Antichrist,
  • 17:07 who comes out of the waters.
  • 17:09 And this beast, false prophet, that comes out of the earth,
  • 17:11 he looks like the lamb.
  • 17:12 He looks like the lamb of God.
  • 17:14 He has two horns, but he speaks like a dragon.
  • 17:17 He almost probably represent the Jewish people, and in creating
  • 17:20 this peace agreement to sign with the beast, so I think it's
  • 17:24 so important, guys, that the Jews know
  • 17:26 who their Messiah is now.
  • 17:27 Joshua: Yeah.
  • 17:28 Caleb: And we speak the truth to them
  • 17:30 before bad things happen.
  • 17:31 Joshua: Yeah.
  • 17:32 Caleb: If this is the pure red heifer, Josh,
  • 17:34 if they discover it's the pure red heifer,
  • 17:36 then the prophecy is continuing at a rapid pace.
  • 17:41 Caleb: Well, you know, the red heifer has appeared.
  • 17:43 Everybody's saying that's a great thing.
  • 17:44 I mean, what could be wrong with this?
  • 17:45 Joshua: Let's talk about this for a second, because you have
  • 17:47 been roaming around some red cows now for a minute,
  • 17:50 with some rabbis, some random dude that raised 'em.
  • 17:53 Caleb: Yes, that's true.
  • 17:54 Joshua: And I have been doing my best to Sharpie every one of
  • 17:56 these with a little black mark to make them imperfect.
  • 17:58 But as we talked about this with some people we know and just
  • 18:02 listened to the interviews that you have done with these people,
  • 18:05 they think it's a good thing.
  • 18:07 Now, I'm not trying to say anything to be mean, but I want
  • 18:10 you all guys to really focus is what we're about to talk about.
  • 18:12 The perspective that it would be a good thing to have this red
  • 18:16 heifer sacrificed and then the horrible temple which is going
  • 18:22 to begin Armageddon and everything else, it's not good.
  • 18:24 Caleb: The "He" that restrains the beast,
  • 18:26 it's a capital "He" in Scripture.
  • 18:29 People know this is talking about one of the people of God
  • 18:33 in general, one of the Trinity, we believe it's the Holy Spirit,
  • 18:37 because that Holy Spirit lives with--inside of us, and we have
  • 18:40 the same power and authority as Yeshua.
  • 18:42 He defeated the devil 2,000 years ago.
  • 18:44 So imagine what would happen if the beast came on the earth now,
  • 18:47 just one believer, one person with the Holy Spirit living
  • 18:50 inside of them, and say, "I rebuke you, devil.
  • 18:52 Get off that," you know, "ark of the covenant bearer."
  • 18:54 He'd run away from us.
  • 18:56 So we have to be removed, Josh, for the beast to be revealed.
  • 18:58 Caleb: But I remember, Josh, it kind of startled me, at the
  • 19:00 height of the pandemic with COVID-19, there was a church in
  • 19:05 South Africa that had a big banner placed across the church
  • 19:09 that said, "The Blood of Jesus will not save you from COVID."
  • 19:13 And I thought, "Blasphemy.
  • 19:14 The blood of Jesus heals all my sicknesses, diseases.
  • 19:17 Protects me from every plague.
  • 19:19 It even says that that was part of the covenant given before
  • 19:22 Yeshua came, he would protect us from all our diseases,
  • 19:25 as Psalm 91 says."
  • 19:27 We want you to trust in God.
  • 19:29 We don't want you to get into fear.
  • 19:30 We want you to have faith.
  • 19:31 When all these evil things come out, put your faith
  • 19:34 and your trust in God.
  • 19:35 Don't get into fear, 'cause we know that our deliverance
  • 19:37 is coming soon, Yeshua's coming soon, and you're going to hear
  • 19:39 that trumpet blast and you're going to be taken away to a
  • 19:42 better place.
  • 19:44 David: So I have a very deep and--question for these guys.
  • 19:48 I want to know who started the spinner.
  • 19:51 Caleb: Oh, the fidget spinner?
  • 19:52 David: Oh yeah.
  • 19:53 Caleb: His name is Fidgie.
  • 19:54 Kirsten: Fidgie, sorry.
  • 19:55 Caleb: He's not here today.
  • 19:56 He's back in our bunker, I'm sorry.
  • 19:57 Kirsten: Taking a nap?
  • 19:58 David: Waiting for your next episode?
  • 19:59 Caleb: I mean, I can try this coaster,
  • 20:00 but it doesn't spin very well, sorry.
  • 20:02 Kirsten: That would be a very short program.
  • 20:03 David: It's brilliant, whatever you guys do with that.
  • 20:04 Caleb: I don't know who came up with it.
  • 20:05 Was it you, Josh?
  • 20:06 It was one of us.
  • 20:08 Joshua: It was social media in general.
  • 20:09 They called for him.
  • 20:10 Kirsten: They called you, social media, said, "Do this."
  • 20:11 Caleb: It was-- well, it's hip for a time,
  • 20:12 and it's still hip today.
  • 20:13 We carry that on.
  • 20:14 Kirsten: I have a question real quick, about your audience.
  • 20:17 Now, I know you have response a lot on social media.
  • 20:20 What kind of age range are you reaching?
  • 20:22 Caleb: We get everybody.
  • 20:23 We get younger, we get older, you know,
  • 20:26 the hardcore Zola fans.
  • 20:28 But we love responding to our fans on social media.
  • 20:31 A lot of them, they really are hungry for the Word of God, and
  • 20:33 they don't have any other place to go to ask these sort of
  • 20:36 questions and get the responses that they're hoping for,
  • 20:39 so we're here to offer it to them.
  • 20:42 Kirsten: You're doing a great service to all ages
  • 20:45 through your ministry.
  • 20:47 David: Yeah, any hot topics that you're working on
  • 20:48 right now?
  • 20:49 Caleb: Well, we're working on a series on creation.
  • 20:51 We're always ready to push the boundaries of what most people
  • 20:54 don't talk about, but our message remains the same,
  • 20:56 is Yeshua's coming back soon.
  • 20:58 And we want to equip other believers with the tools
  • 21:01 necessary to tell others about Yeshua, 'cause people
  • 21:04 don't feel qualified to tell others about Jesus.
  • 21:06 Joshua: If you don't feel qualified, if you're not a
  • 21:08 theologian, never went to school for it, you don't think you can
  • 21:10 pronounce the Hebrew, like me, it's important to know that the
  • 21:13 gospel was designed for even a child to understand.
  • 21:15 And it can be simple.
  • 21:17 The Lord wants you to be able to understand it, too, so if you
  • 21:21 have somebody that you want to explain the gospel to,
  • 21:24 send 'em our episode.
  • 21:25 It's not about it being us, it's about the purpose which is to
  • 21:28 get the gospel in everyone's hands, to explain it,
  • 21:30 and break it down.
  • 21:31 The enemy works through confusion.
  • 21:33 He wants the believer to believe that he can't understand it, but
  • 21:36 God has the gospel for everyone and that's what we try to
  • 21:40 explain every time we're in an episode is that everyone
  • 21:42 can understand this.
  • 21:44 He made it simply for you.
  • 21:45 He uniquely designed you.
  • 21:47 Now, get out there because you were made for a purpose
  • 21:48 and get that job done.
  • 21:50 Kirsten: And can I say, it can be enjoyable too.
  • 21:52 The gospel, I think Jesus laughed and had a blast
  • 21:55 with his disciples.
  • 21:57 And you guys bring that fun element in.
  • 21:59 Joshua: He gave me a white beard, and I'm only 22.
  • 22:00 He's got a sense of humor, obviously.
  • 22:02 Caleb: He does.
  • 22:03 Kirsten: As do you, my Moses friend.
  • 22:05 David: Are you really 22?
  • 22:06 Joshua: I wish.
  • 22:08 David: I'm like, you could be my son.
  • 22:09 Joshua: Yes!
  • 22:11 Very handsome father, yes.
  • 22:12 Kirsten: Hey, thank you, guys for being with us, and we pray
  • 22:15 multiple blessings that what you're saying, that he's saying
  • 22:19 through you, goes out to the world as it will,
  • 22:21 but even more followers, why?
  • 22:24 So that they can get the Word through your minds
  • 22:27 and your hearts, and it'll happen, yeah.
  • 22:29 Caleb: In Yeshua's name, yes.
  • 22:31 Kirsten: Thank you for what you're doing.
  • 22:32 We love you guys.
  • 22:34 We'll be right back.
  • 22:36 David: Our resources this week:
  • 22:38 "Glory: The Future of the Believers."
  • 22:40 In this booklet, Zola Levitt explains The Coming Rapture,
  • 22:43 Our Time In Heaven, The Kingdom On Earth, and Eternity.

  • 23:04 David: As we sit at this desk today, at this table,
  • 23:07 I'm reminded of the beautiful fruit from Israel.
  • 23:10 This is pomegranate right here.
  • 23:13 Isn't that beautiful?
  • 23:14 It's full of life with seeds, and we take you to Israel where
  • 23:21 you can taste pomegranate and lots of other fruits.
  • 23:25 I know that you love the fruit.
  • 23:26 Kirsten: It's--everything in Israel's non-GMO.
  • 23:29 It is healthy.
  • 23:31 You are literally--see, I could talk about the food
  • 23:33 in Israel--eating fulfilled prophecy at every single meal.
  • 23:39 That's just one aspect of a tour to Israel.
  • 23:42 We would love to host you.
  • 23:44 We take you there, we take care of you.
  • 23:47 Call our office, get in touch with our office.
  • 23:49 Sandra is who you'll talk to.
  • 23:52 She will easily guide you through all of this.
  • 23:55 Also, that's something under our umbrella
  • 23:57 of Zola Levitt Ministries.
  • 23:59 Something else is all of our social media programs.
  • 24:04 You get bonus interviews, extra programs,
  • 24:07 it's so hard to even just narrow down this is what we have.
  • 24:10 We have so much to offer you.
  • 24:12 Take a look for yourself.
  • 24:15 Traveling this week to get to the studio to do more programs
  • 24:19 that we've been doing, we were at the airport,
  • 24:21 and I looked around and noticed how many adults
  • 24:25 were hooked on their phone.
  • 24:27 They were scrolling and watching things on their phone.
  • 24:30 So people say that sometimes that the kids are the ones stuck
  • 24:33 on their phones, but adults are watching also.
  • 24:35 And we hope that when you are on your phone, you will go to our
  • 24:39 social media sites, look for "Our Jewish Roots" and watch our
  • 24:43 social media programs, because it really is about
  • 24:47 our Jewish roots.
  • 24:49 That's what we're all about.
  • 24:51 Every program focuses on that Jewishness
  • 24:54 and that foundation of our faith.
  • 24:56 David: Yes, and I just want to say it's been great having
  • 24:59 the Bearded Bible Brothers with us, and you can tell how much
  • 25:03 they love Yeshua with all of their hearts.
  • 25:06 They have a passion for it, and they want to reach
  • 25:09 the world with the gospel.
  • 25:11 Kirsten: And the only way they can reach the world is
  • 25:13 through donations, because-- and I've heard people say,
  • 25:18 "Isn't social media free?"
  • 25:19 Yes, to put it out there, it's free.
  • 25:21 But to produce these programs, there's a lot of editing,
  • 25:24 lot of time that goes into our programs.
  • 25:27 You vote for our programs by sending in donations
  • 25:30 to make them happen.
  • 25:32 And we'd like to say thank you for doing that.
  • 25:34 David: And it's time to go.
  • 25:36 We will be back next week, but we end with this.
  • 25:38 Kirsten: We always close out our program with
  • 25:39 Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim.
  • 25:42 David: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
