Caption transcript for Dateline Jerusalem: “Ancient Sounds” (9/10)

• 00:08 ♪♪♪ male narrator: God could have chosen anywhere on earth,
• 00:11 but he chose Israel.
• 00:14 He could've revealed his redemption anywhere.
• 00:16 He chose Jerusalem.
• 00:19 The house of the Lord might have been any place on earth.
• 00:22 He chose Mount Moriah.
• 00:25 Past, present, and future, the mountain of the Lord has been a
• 00:29 beacon of hope and remains a strategic site
• 00:33 for the next temple of God.
• 00:37 "Dateline Jerusalem: The Coming Temple."
• 00:43 David Hart: Thank you for joining us on today's program.
• 00:45 It's all about music.
• 00:47 I think Kirsten and I kind of relate a
• 00:49 little bit about the music.
• 00:50 I wanna know about you guys. Are you musicians at all?
• 00:53 Joshua Colson: We actually have some music background,
• 00:55 but what I found so interesting about today was it was gonna
• 00:58 be the first time we talked about worship
• 00:59 with no barbecue involved.
• 01:00 Kristen Hart: Yes, our kind of worship.
• 01:04 David: We can sit back a little bit.
• 01:05 Joshua: That's right.
• 01:06 Caleb Colson: I find it interesting.
• 01:08 David, your namesake, was instrumental--okay, I did that,
• 01:11 I'm sorry--in bringing musical instruments into worship.
• 01:15 In 1 Chronicles 15 and 16 is when he literally set up this
• 01:19 whole worship assembly.
• 01:21 He brought the ark of the covenant into Yerushalayim and
• 01:24 set up what was called the Tabernacle of David.
• 01:26 It was a different tent from the original tabernacle,
• 01:29 and he would worship God there, and there's thousands of musical
• 01:31 instruments, and you see, like, Asaph the seer.
• 01:34 He was a musician.
• 01:35 He had music playing when he prophesied.
• 01:38 Most prophets in the Old Testament,
• 01:40 they sang their prophecies.
• 01:42 They had harpists and minstrels that played as they prophesied
• 01:45 the word of the Lord to really get into the heart, you know?
• 01:47 Kirsten: Some people can't stand a little worship band.
• 01:49 We're talking thousands of worshipers,
• 01:52 thousands of people on instruments.
• 01:54 It's gonna be a good program.
• 01:56 David: Today's program is all about music.
• 01:57 You're gonna hear about the harp,
• 01:59 but right now, we take you to a shofar maker.
• 02:03 David: Robert Weinger is known in Israel
• 02:05 as "The Shofar Man."
• 02:06 He's been producing beautiful shofars for 15 years and owns
• 02:10 and operates a shofar center within the shadow
• 02:13 of the ancient town of Jericho.
• 02:16 His visitor center and shop is stocked with hundreds of shofars
• 02:19 in every shape, fashioned from the horns of numerous animals
• 02:22 throughout the Middle East.
• 02:24 He tells us how it all started.
• 02:27 Robert Weinger: Well, I was born and raised in Los Angeles.
• 02:30 I'm the offspring of first-generation post-Holocaust
• 02:32 traditional Jewish-American family,
• 02:34 and I was raised in the synagogue.
• 02:35 I went through and had my Bar Mitzvah.
• 02:37 I really resented Hebrew school because I was a very great
• 02:41 athlete, and I was precluded from playing after-school sports
• 02:43 and Little League baseball because of that.
• 02:46 Somehow, through osmosis, I was the first-chair trumpet in the
• 02:48 junior high school band for two years.
• 02:49 My mother stood over me for, you know, for half an hour
• 02:53 every morning to make sure I practiced my trumpet.
• 02:56 My father wasn't a real religious man,
• 02:57 but he had a real heart for Israel,
• 02:59 and he was a "renaissance man."
• 03:01 He was a tradesman but also artistic, and his--basically,
• 03:07 his gift to me, unknowingly, in 1972, he painted this painting
• 03:11 behind me, called "The Great Shofar," and it represents the
• 03:14 generations of Jews rising out of the ashes of Holocaust;
• 03:17 the hands of the Five Books of Moses, the Torah; the rebirth
• 03:20 of Israel; and strength and victory; and the shofar,
• 03:23 the geula, the "Shofar of Redemption," shofar that we're
• 03:26 gonna hear when Messiah arrives.
• 03:28 I ended up, through no effort of my own, through a series
• 03:31 of mergers and acquisitions, I ended up landing a job with
• 03:34 Gatorade for seven years in sports marketing.
• 03:36 So, as an adult, I got to experience all those things and
• 03:40 when--I worked for Gatorade for seven years,
• 03:42 and I was on the team that developed Monster Energy drink.
• 03:46 You know, even with a 22-year career in the food and beverage
• 03:48 industry, I always felt--like "The Peter Principle," I always
• 03:51 felt like I had reached my level of incompetency,
• 03:55 and I never felt comfortable in my own skin.
• 03:57 I never thought I was really doin' good enough or I was good
• 03:59 as people may have thought or whatever.
• 04:01 And I was living at the time, for 31 years,
• 04:04 Mount Diablo, "Devil Mountain," and after deciding to leave
• 04:10 Monster, I ended up hiking Mount Diablo
• 04:14 four to six times a week, and one day,
• 04:15 I had this "burning bush" experience.
• 04:17 Brought me to my knees, and it reset my life course,
• 04:21 and it brought me from Mount Diablo,
• 04:22 the highest place in the East Bay of San Francisco in the
• 04:24 world to the lowest place on earth here at Beit Hogla,
• 04:27 the Dead Sea, where it meets the Jordan River,
• 04:29 but the highest place spiritually.
• 04:30 I came to Israel in 2008 on a tour.
• 04:34 I was one of 18 on Mount Bental in the Golan Heights,
• 04:36 and somebody handed me a Yemenite shofar.
• 04:39 Like, this is a horn of a greater
• 04:40 kudu antelope from Africa.
• 04:42 They purchased it at a souvenir stand the day before,
• 04:45 and they said, "Could you hold this while I go to the
• 04:46 'sherutim,' to the bathroom?"
• 04:48 And I said, "Sure, why not?" And I took it.
• 04:49 After all, I was a first-chair trumpet,
• 04:51 like I said, in the junior high school band.
• 04:52 I put it to my lips, and out came the Israeli Defense
• 04:54 Force wake-up call.
• 04:57 ♪♪♪
• 05:07 ♪♪♪
• 05:16 Robert: And the next thing I knew, there's 15 Israelis
• 05:18 surrounding me with flashbulbs going off and cheers and
• 05:20 applause, and then there's a 5.3 earthquake,
• 05:21 and I got given the gift to sound the shofar,
• 05:24 and I went all over Israel, sounding the shofar,
• 05:25 and the tour left and I stayed for two weeks and got trained
• 05:28 and developed in the spiritual warfare at the hand of Hashem.
• 05:31 And so this is the one that's a greater kudu.
• 05:34 This is more melodic, but the traditional shofar
• 05:37 is the ram's horn.
• 05:38 A shofar can be off of any kosher animal.
• 05:40 Any animal that chews its cud and has a split hoof can be
• 05:45 considered a shofar.
• 05:46 There's only one of those animals that is precluded from
• 05:49 becoming a shofar, and that's the domestic cow
• 05:52 because of the golden calf.
• 05:54 So the only time you can use a cow horn as a shofar--and I
• 05:56 happen to have one up there on the top left.
• 05:59 It's only if there's no other shofar available you can use a
• 06:02 cow's horn, but other than that, because of the gold calf, no.
• 06:05 But this is a traditional ram's horn,
• 06:06 and the difference is, in the sound,
• 06:09 the shofar on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur,
• 06:12 it's a call--a cry of teshuvah.
• 06:14 It's a turning back to God.
• 06:16 It's a cry of repentance. It's a travail.
• 06:18 It's a cry of anguish, so it sounds like a dying cow almost.
• 06:23 But there's a special series of trope of sounds
• 06:27 that come out of it.
• 06:29 ♪♪♪
• 06:35 ♪♪♪
• 06:39 Robert: And so that's the cry of repentance.
• 06:42 The shofar is a wake-up call.
• 06:45 It's a call to arms, an alarm.
• 06:47 It's a shout of praise.
• 06:50 It's a cry of repentance, like I said.
• 06:53 It's the sound of jubilee that sets the captives free.
• 06:57 It's a cry of victory. It's a call to war.
• 07:01 It's a call to battle, and it's--most importantly,
• 07:04 it's the sound of the coronation of the King that we're gonna
• 07:08 hear when Messiah arrives.
• 07:12 David: Wherever Robert goes, his shofar goes.
• 07:15 Whether it's in Jerusalem's busy marketplace or atop the Mount of
• 07:18 Olives, he's happy to sound what he calls
• 07:21 "the prophetic instrument of God."
• 07:24 Robert: Yeah, the making of a shofar is a very
• 07:27 tedious and long process.
• 07:28 It's not--you know, a lot of people try to buy the shofar by
• 07:33 the price, and in Israel, they sell them by the size.
• 07:36 If it's this big, it's this much; if it's this big,
• 07:38 it's this much more; and if it's this big, it's the most.
• 07:40 But what I've discovered is not every--not all shofars are
• 07:42 equal, and so I actually go to the factories of the founding
• 07:46 family of shofar here in Israel, and I test 1,000 of them to find
• 07:49 50 that have the sound of heaven.
• 07:51 Then, how they're made, you--the horn is like--the outside of the
• 07:55 horn is like gelatinous material.
• 07:58 It's like a fingernail, but inside is a bone, and so, when
• 08:01 the animal is slaughtered or it dies or it's used for food,
• 08:08 you know, the horns don't grow back, okay?
• 08:10 So it's actually the death of the animal.
• 08:13 And a shofar, a kosher shofar, can only be cut from a
• 08:16 slaughtered animal that was alive.
• 08:18 It can't be from an animal that died on its own.
• 08:21 You can't--and so inside is this bone.
• 08:24 You boil it for three to five hours until the tendons and
• 08:27 tissues all come out, and the bone gets removed--
• 08:30 something like this.
• 08:31 I have a couple samples of the big bone that comes
• 08:33 out of the kudu.
• 08:35 And then you have to--you're gonna have to cut off the tip.
• 08:41 You're gonna have to straighten it by fire sometimes so that you
• 08:44 can get a drill in there to open up the hole,
• 08:47 and then it gets sanded and polished and sometimes
• 08:51 accessorized or engraved or painted or,
• 08:55 you know, whatever you do, whatever we're doin' these days
• 08:57 but--you know, I've been walking in this for 15 years.
• 09:01 So, on February 15, of this year
• 09:05 was my 15th anniversary, the birth of Shofar So Great,
• 09:09 and I've been, like I said, trained and developed at the
• 09:13 hand of God, and it's been a long process,
• 09:15 and even the sound that I make out of my shofar is not the same
• 09:19 as I made, you know, 15 years ago.
• 09:21 And so I keep--seem to be getting these promotions in the
• 09:24 spiritual realm, so to speak, and I have the experience of
• 09:27 being the spiritual Forrest Gump.
• 09:30 I just--you know, it's like, every day,
• 09:32 I wake up, and it's like--and Forrest Gump says,
• 09:35 "Life's like a box of chocolates.
• 09:36 You never know what you're gonna get."
• 09:38 So each day, I really never know what I'm gonna get,
• 09:40 and I just--I make myself available.
• 09:43 I really had no idea that, you know, we were gonna be
• 09:45 here doin' this until last night.
• 09:48 I got the call, so--and I ended up in so many
• 09:53 places so high, in Washington, D.C.,
• 09:56 at the White House, and all these kind of things.
• 09:58 It could only be him that's allowing for that to happen,
• 10:02 and so I feel very honored and privileged as to be
• 10:04 this Israeli shofar ambassador.
• 10:07 I've been dubbed by the former chief rabbi of the State of
• 10:10 Israel as "the greatest shofar sounder in the world."
• 10:12 I don't necessarily believe that.
• 10:14 I think there's many others that do as well or greater,
• 10:17 but, you know, I have--I've kept the moniker,
• 10:20 and it's really gave me a lot of credibility to be able to do
• 10:22 what I do, and I've traveled all around the world.
• 10:25 I have the honor and privilege of being a sent one.
• 10:27 In Isaiah 6:8, it says, you know, "'Who will go for me?
• 10:30 Whom shall I send?'
• 10:31 'Hineni, here am I. Send me.'"
• 10:33 And I end up going all around the world,
• 10:35 going into these places, sounding my shofar.
• 10:38 Of course, it's gonna be the music of the Beit Hamikdash,
• 10:44 and I believe that this music is just as important as the red
• 10:48 heifers to the restoration of all things.
• 10:51 ♪♪♪
• 10:57 ♪♪♪
• 11:01 Caleb: You know, whenever I think about a trumpet,
• 11:03 a shofar, Yom Teruah always comes to mind,
• 11:06 you know, the Feast of Trumpets, the Rapture.
• 11:08 But most people don't know that Lucifer himself was the leader
• 11:12 of the choirs of heaven.
• 11:14 Ezekiel 28:13, describes Lucifer as being the most beautiful
• 11:17 cherub, the most beautiful of all God's creation.
• 11:19 He was made of gold.
• 11:21 He had gemstones built into him like the high priest,
• 11:23 but he had musical instruments like horns and percussion and
• 11:26 woodwinds built into his body, and he led his third of the
• 11:30 angels, the choirs of heaven, to worship the Lord,
• 11:32 but then pride set in, and there came the fall.
• 11:35 David: Ah, "pride." That's the word.
• 11:37 Like, how did that happen? Pride.
• 11:39 Joshua: Pride's always the way.
• 11:41 Music is so important though, too, I believe, because it can
• 11:44 send us into so many different emotional states.
• 11:46 I know that there--when I was younger,
• 11:48 there were certain bands that I would listen to,
• 11:50 and the Holy Spirit was like, "You can't listen to them
• 11:52 anymore," because it would bring on depression or bring on sorrow
• 11:55 and these different things because the way that music was
• 11:58 designed to travel harmonically, how it can affect us,
• 12:01 and how those different spirits can attach themselves to these
• 12:05 different transmissions, but it's so important that the music
• 12:08 that we are listening to, that we're putting into our spirit,
• 12:10 that's coming in through our ears,
• 12:12 into our spirit, worships the Father.
• 12:14 The intent of the origination of music was to worship him.
• 12:18 Caleb: That's right. It should all honor God.
• 12:20 Kirsten: And there's such an attack in the world of pastors
• 12:24 but also worship leaders.
• 12:26 We have so many people, so many friends that have been in
• 12:30 ministry that have fallen away or that get attacked.
• 12:33 And, you know, what you're saying, I think Satan is
• 12:35 so jealous of those that get to proclaim the Lord.
• 12:40 Caleb: That's right 'cause we took his position,
• 12:42 but then that also becomes a prideful issue if that worship
• 12:46 minister thinks that all of that reverence is his,
• 12:48 then the same fall can happen to him as it did to
• 12:50 Lucifer, and we don't want that to happen.
• 12:52 Kirsten: And we see that all the time,
• 12:53 unfortunately, and there's a different call,
• 12:57 I believe, to those who lead worship,
• 12:59 but there needs to also the special protection around those.
• 13:02 So people say, "Pray for your pastor."
• 13:04 Pray for your worship pastor also.
• 13:06 Because there's jealousy, and there's an attack.
• 13:09 Caleb: They're leading the charge to war.
• 13:10 That's what your job is, David.
• 13:12 Kirsten: True, and someone else leading a charge, should I say,
• 13:15 of worship wars would be the wonderful Harrari family.
• 13:20 They've been on our program before,
• 13:22 and they felt a call--this is so beautiful--to restore the gift
• 13:27 of a harp to the temple and to worship.
• 13:32 And you'll learn--I don't wanna give it away too soon.
• 13:37 There weren't just--there wasn't just one harp in temple worship.
• 13:40 There were many. Hear the Harrari family.
• 13:46 David: Now let's go to the shop where the Harrari's
• 13:48 harps are fashioned.
• 13:49 Micah, the craftsman, has spent countless hours creating
• 13:52 masterpieces purchased by visiting tourists as well as
• 13:56 dignitaries from around the world.
• 13:58 Most recently, some of his harps have been created for use
• 14:02 in the next temple.
• 14:03 We asked both Micah and Shoshanna to share
• 14:06 with us how it all started.
• 14:09 Micah Harrari: Many years before we came here,
• 14:11 my wife asked me for a harp--to make a harp.
• 14:14 And at the time, we were traveling around,
• 14:17 and I had a guitar shop in Southern California,
• 14:21 and she just wanted a harp.
• 14:24 And I just never made one until I was getting ready
• 14:29 to make one in Vermont.
• 14:31 Shoshanna Harrari: We found an old archeology book,
• 14:34 and in the book, there was a photograph of this cave drawing
• 14:39 in Megiddo that showed a very primitive harp,
• 14:42 very similar shape, at least, with this, and a little stick
• 14:46 figure next to it playing the harp,
• 14:49 and they say that, by carbon dating,
• 14:52 that that drawing is 3,000 years old,
• 14:55 which is the time of King David.
• 14:57 Very interesting.
• 14:59 So, anyway, when he saw the picture,
• 15:00 he said, "Ah, why should I make a harp from Europe or somewhere?
• 15:04 I wanna make a harp from Israel.
• 15:06 That was the only thing, really.
• 15:07 We really had no idea that no one had done
• 15:10 this in 2,000 years.
• 15:12 We just thought we were gonna make a harp, and that's it.
• 15:15 Micah: And we were just lifted up and brought to Israel
• 15:19 in 1982, and that's where I made her,
• 15:23 her harp, but I guess God didn't need another harp maker there,
• 15:27 and he wanted somebody to bring the harp back to Israel,
• 15:31 which hadn't been seen since it was hung on the willows,
• 15:36 and it's the national instrument of Israel.
• 15:39 Shoshanna: The secret of this harp is to play from your soul.
• 15:44 It doesn't matter--I mean, I can play many songs,
• 15:47 and, you know, other people's songs and everything,
• 15:49 and it's beautiful 'cause, as you can see--
• 15:52 ♪♪♪
• 15:58 Shoshanna: Anything you play on it is beautiful.
• 16:01 You don't have to work really hard,
• 16:04 and you end up still sounding like an angel just because the
• 16:08 harp itself, the way it's constructed,
• 16:12 it's not for your intelligence.
• 16:14 It's not for your brain to be thinking,
• 16:17 "How are you holding your fingers?
• 16:19 What's your technique?"
• 16:20 It's for what's in my soul.
• 16:22 "What do I want to say to the Creator of the universe?
• 16:26 What does he want to say to me?"
• 16:27 So when I personally play the harp,
• 16:30 I do it with that intention, to play for healing of the world,
• 16:34 for peace, at least, in individual hearts and for--that
• 16:41 people's hearts should open to being more connected to God.
• 16:45 No matter how connected you are,
• 16:47 can always be a little bit more connected.
• 16:50 Shoshanna: So this song is actually a--very traditional
• 16:53 words that are taken from the Torah that basically are saying
• 16:58 to "love your neighbor as yourself."
• 17:00 That's the English translation.
• 17:01 It's really much deeper than that,
• 17:03 but the real deep meaning is that you have to learn to
• 17:06 respect yourself as the beautiful being that you've been
• 17:09 created to be and that, if you respect who you are,
• 17:15 then, hopefully, you'll also be able to celebrate the uniqueness
• 17:19 of every human being on this earth in their beauty
• 17:22 and wonderfulness.
• 17:24 [singing in Hebrew]
• 17:34 [singing in Hebrew]
• 17:44 [singing in Hebrew]
• 17:54 [singing in Hebrew]
• 18:04 [singing in Hebrew]
• 18:09 Micah: But, actually, we're actually trying to make the
• 18:11 harps for the next temple.
• 18:13 We're very interested in the final temple.
• 18:16 Shoshanna: We make harps for that Mahon Hamikdash,
• 18:19 the Temple Institute, and these are people who have dedicated
• 18:23 their lives to creating, bringing back the vessels that
• 18:27 will be in the temple, and the way they know it is through very
• 18:31 deep research, especially in all the Jewish writings and
• 18:34 everything else that they know.
• 18:36 So I asked, one time, "How many harps do you need?"
• 18:40 because, you know, we were making harps all the time for
• 18:43 them, and the woman who runs it, she said,
• 18:46 "Okay, we have actually enough of the big harps.
• 18:49 We could have more of the small harps."
• 18:52 But, right now, we're ready to go.
• 18:55 Like, if the temple should pop up tomorrow,
• 18:57 we can move in and start playing immediately.
• 19:01 Micah: So we're trying to improve on them.
• 19:02 In those days, they didn't have the materials
• 19:04 we have now, the strings.
• 19:07 So I wanted to make something not like that was made before,
• 19:10 the kinnor and the nevel, but something that would be good for
• 19:13 the next temple, technically good,
• 19:17 you know, could stay in tune, the strings are strong,
• 19:20 and something that--have to be able to be played loud.
• 19:23 Shoshanna: Part of the temple services which,
• 19:27 twice a day, there were sacrifices, and there was
• 19:30 never a sacrifice without somebody playing the harp.
• 19:34 So there was a constant musical orchestra going through the
• 19:40 temple at least twice a day in big--in a big way, and then
• 19:45 maybe through the day in other ways.
• 19:47 Micah: In the temples before, there was 4,000 harpists that
• 19:50 played in the major holidays, and as they say,
• 19:54 you could hear it down in Jericho when it was played
• 19:57 on the Temple Mount.
• 19:58 So the harp is always part of our heritage, besides being
• 20:03 our national instrument.
• 20:05 Shoshanna: So what I discovered was that,
• 20:08 if you play it any way that comes to you--
• 20:11 ♪♪♪
• 20:13 Shoshanna: It's going to be beautiful,
• 20:16 so you don't have to worry about that part.
• 20:18 All you have to be concerned with is "Do you hear the music?
• 20:22 What do you hear in your own soul?"
• 20:24 There is something called the "Shir Hadash."
• 20:26 Did you ever hear of that?
• 20:28 The "Shir Hadash" means "The New Song."
• 20:31 It says, "Shiru ladonai shir hadash."
• 20:34 "Sing to God a new song."
• 20:36 You heard this before, I'm sure, yeah.
• 20:38 It's pretty famous passages.
• 20:41 There's a few times it's mentioned,
• 20:42 but what is a "Shir Hadash"?
• 20:45 Is it just a song that nobody heard on the radio yet?
• 20:49 Or is it the song of your personal soul?
• 20:53 And that's what this harp does, is
• 20:55 it allows you to go into that childlike innocent state,
• 21:01 which is very hard in a world that we have to be constantly on
• 21:05 guard with, to go back into that childlike state so that you can
• 21:10 open your heart and feel safe about it and let out the music
• 21:15 that comes, and that in itself is part of the other part that
• 21:20 is connected with it, which is healing.
• 21:23 It's an instrument of great healing.
• 21:25 I mean, the example that's in the Bible is David coming to
• 21:31 Saul, that Saul was very--he wasn't just mentally ill,
• 21:35 he was really physically sick, as well, from all his worry.
• 21:39 What was he worried about?
• 21:41 "There's another guy out there who's really the king,
• 21:44 and I don't know who he is."
• 21:45 So what does he do?
• 21:46 He brings him in and sits at his feet and plays the harp and
• 21:52 calms down his soul and heals him.
• 21:55 My family--personally, my father was a Cohen,
• 22:00 which means that all my relatives all the way back
• 22:03 are--I am directly descended from Aaron, and these were
• 22:08 the people who will spend all their time in the temple.
• 22:12 So it's sort of the echo of that time is inside of me too,
• 22:18 and I feel that, just like the kohanim in the old days were of
• 22:22 service, I feel that that's sort of my purpose too is to be of
• 22:27 service in whatever way I can to bring the peace
• 22:30 that Aaron always brought.
• 22:32 That was his main attribute.
• 22:35 He brought peace to people and to the world.
• 22:39 It hasn't happened yet, but we were talking about starting a
• 22:42 school to teach Levite children because everybody knows
• 22:47 who they are right now.
• 22:49 Like, anybody who's a Levi, they know that they're a Levi.
• 22:52 It's not like they're just getting it from,
• 22:54 you know, their imagination.
• 22:56 So these children, I have met families who've come into our
• 23:00 store, and there'll be, like, you know,
• 23:02 eight kids or something, and there'll be this two-year-old.
• 23:06 He's all the way down here, and he reaches up his little hand,
• 23:10 and he just holds it like that, and he won't
• 23:12 let it go, you know?
• 23:14 And I say to the father, "Are you Levine, by any chance?"
• 23:17 He said, "Yes, how did you know that?"
• 23:19 Hah-hah-ha.
• 23:21 So it's already there, the talent,
• 23:25 I guess you could call it, through the DNA or something.
• 23:28 And there will be a Levitical orchestra, but they--other
• 23:32 exciting news is--at least what's written in the end of
• 23:36 Isaiah, where it says that, from the nations,
• 23:40 at the end, obviously, at the beginning of this new,
• 23:43 wonderful world that's coming, there will be people from the
• 23:47 nations who will be chosen to be Levites among my Levites.
• 23:53 That's what it says.
• 23:54 So I believe that part of the Levitical orchestra will be
• 23:59 people that God chooses from the nations who are not Levites by
• 24:03 birth, but they were gonna be brought in to do that kind of
• 24:07 service and play with the musicians in the future.

• 24:28 Caleb: I think that was a major plot twist that all those
• 24:31 harps you just saw are going to be used in the Third Temple
• 24:35 until day 1260, when the abomination
• 24:37 of desolation happens.
• 24:38 That's another story, and if you wanna learn more about prophecy,
• 24:41 Mark Hitchcock's book, "The End," we're givin' it to you

• 24:51 Kirsten: I have good news today.
• 24:54 It ends well.
• 24:56 He wins.
• 24:57 We win.
• 24:59 The end has so many ups and downs,
• 25:01 but the good news is the Lord will return,
• 25:06 and until that day, we hope to keep on keeping on,
• 25:11 getting this good news through the eyes of the
• 25:13 Jews across the world.
• 25:17 Even if we're not here anymore, social media will still be

• 25:34 The "Bearded Bible Brothers."
• 25:36 The beards, the beards.
• 25:37 And that is on social media, right?
• 25:38 Caleb: Social media, we get a little unhinged,
• 25:40 but that's okay.
• 25:41 It's all about scripture. We love going into scripture.
• 25:43 Kirsten: And how can they find you?
• 25:45 Caleb: levitt.com or #BeardedBibleBrothers
• 25:48 on any social media site, and Facebook,
• 25:51 YouTube, Twitter, all the cool ones, we'll be there.
• 25:54 Kirsten: So we have this. You're on here.
• 25:56 You are teachers for this program,
• 25:57 and you're all over social media,
• 25:59 so a lot of different venues that they can find you.
• 26:02 David: And I just wanna say also thank you for your
• 26:03 insight through this series.
• 26:05 So many more series to come, but let's tie up this program.
• 26:09 Can you give just a word?
• 26:11 Caleb: Well, this episode in particular,
• 26:12 about worship, I really focus on spiritual warfare and how
• 26:16 worship is used in that capacity.
• 26:18 You know, the story in 2 Chronicles 20,
• 26:20 with King Jehoshaphat, how he was cornered by armies of Moab
• 26:25 and Edom and Ammon, and he was like,
• 26:27 "Lord, what do I do?"
• 26:28 He went before the Lord, and he said,
• 26:30 "Only you can defeat this enemy, Lord.
• 26:32 I'm gonna focus on you," and a word came thorough a descendant
• 26:36 of Asaph the seer, the singing prophet,
• 26:37 and it said, "The Lord's on your side.
• 26:40 The battle is his."
• 26:41 And so they sent the worshipers ahead into battle,
• 26:44 and they sang, "The Lord his good.
• 26:46 His love endures forever," not
• 26:48 "Oh, God, save us from the enemy."
• 26:49 Kirsten: That would've been me.
• 26:50 That would've been me out there, yeah.
• 26:52 Caleb: And the Lord defeated them, the enemy.
• 26:53 It was amazing.
• 26:54 David: Yeah, gives me goose bumps.
• 26:56 Kirsten: It ends well.
• 26:57 And this is the last teaching program in this series.
• 27:01 We have another bonus program next week.
• 27:04 Don't turn this program off next week.
