Caption transcript for “Avital Leibovich”

00:11 ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
00:15 David Hart: We are so glad you've joined us today.
00:17 Kirsten Hart: Things look a little different.
00:18 We're not on our regular set.
00:20 The brothers are in Dallas, we're here at our home in
00:23 Orlando, but we wanted to get to you, our viewer, a very
00:28 timely interview.
00:29 Guys, tell us a little bit more.
00:32 Caleb Colson: Well, the world is telling you lies, and Satan is
00:35 the master PR spokesman.
00:37 And when you hear everybody up in arms, they're getting on
00:40 their phones, they're making these chants, they're picketing,
00:42 it's always against the nation state of Israel 'cause they're
00:45 God's chosen people.
00:46 And we want to bring you the truth of what's going on.
00:48 It doesn't make any sense that Israel is under this amazing
00:52 microscope when horrible crimes are being committed around the
00:55 world and they're just trying to protect themselves.
00:57 Joshua Colson: That's why we love going to Israel, so that we
00:59 can see the truth, hear the real stories, and bring that
01:02 information to you.
01:04 Kirsten: Let's bring that real story to you right now.
01:11 Joshua: One of the most unique things about being in Israel
01:13 during any time of conflict is that the country is so small
01:16 you're going to hear, feel, or see some evidence of the
01:19 conflict that's going on.
01:21 From our hotel room, we can hear explosions.
01:24 We can feel them.
01:25 We can see the lights in the sky at night as we learn of the
01:29 conflicts that are going on not far from us, and last night was
01:32 no exception with Rafah.
01:34 Joshua: With the war fresh in our minds, we journey
01:37 to Modi'in.
01:38 Trips to Israel do have their perks.
01:40 We get to meet and interview these amazing
01:42 influential people.
01:44 Today, we're actually invited to the home of Avital Leibovich.
01:47 And what a warm welcome she gave.
01:50 Avital is a lieutenant colonel in the IDF reserves and also the
01:54 director of the American Jewish Committee Jerusalem since 2014.
01:57 Being an expert in diplomacy and geopolitical strategy has
02:01 allowed her to work closely with diplomats and ambassadors in
02:04 Israel and abroad.
02:07 During her service with the IDF, she was the head of the foreign
02:10 branch press.
02:11 This affords her the unique experience to speak effectively
02:14 concerning the current conflict of the Israel-Hamas war.
02:19 Off camera, she even shared her personal experience of how her
02:23 own children lost close friends due to the massacre on
02:26 October 7th.
02:28 God even supernaturally spared her daughter from being in the
02:30 wrong place at the wrong time.
02:33 Here's Avital.
02:36 Avital Leibovich: So I joined the IDF when I was 21 after
02:39 completing my academic studies.
02:41 I never really thought I would be so many years in the IDF, but
02:45 one thing led into another and I found myself falling in love,
02:49 you can say, with the Israeli Defense Forces, with the system,
02:52 with, I think, mainly the fact that I could contribute to
02:56 the country.
02:57 And I had different roles usually in the IDF spokesperson
03:02 unit where I had to defend Israel across the world.
03:05 I served for 23 years.
03:07 I retired 10 years ago and I've been doing my reserve duty ever
03:11 since in the northern borders of Israel.
03:14 I have three kids.
03:16 I'm married.
03:17 My husband also was an officer in the air force, and this is
03:20 how we met.
03:22 Joshua: It's incredible this perspective we keep hearing.
03:23 We interviewed some people from the IDF yesterday who were
03:27 starting at 20 and 21 and hearing the perspective being,
03:30 "I'm doing this because it's my responsibility.
03:32 If I don't, no one else will."
03:34 And we were correlating how in America, 20-year-olds are like,
03:36 "Dad, can I have some more money because I want to go hang out
03:38 and buy clothes and do things?"
03:40 That--sense of responsibility seems to be
03:42 something that's common in Israel.
03:44 And I know that one of the messages you're trying to preach
03:47 is: here's the information and here's how you're responsible to
03:50 take that information and do something with it.
03:52 We've been talking about anti-Semitism and how October
03:54 7 has exploded that on the world's stage yet again, if
03:58 anybody thought it was dead.
03:59 What are you seeing now globally, I know that's a big
04:02 question to start off with, but--since October 7
04:04 with anti-Semitism?
04:06 Avital: Although we are here in Israel, we do see all the harsh
04:10 images, the protests, the chants, the holding sign the
04:14 Jews are not welcomed or from the river to the sea or a
04:18 million other versions of anti-Semitism.
04:21 We're also hearing slogans like Israel--Jews are controlling the
04:25 world media or Jews are the richest people in the world.
04:29 These are all anti-Semite slogans, and we are aware
04:33 of that.
04:35 Now, part of it derives from ignorance.
04:36 Another part of it has to do with a lot of falsehoods.
04:40 We are in the age of internet and social media.
04:43 We are living in an age that everybody that has a cell phone
04:46 is actually a journalist in a way, and therefore nobody really
04:50 checks, you know, the authenticity of the footage that
04:53 he or she saw.
04:55 Immediately it's easier to base your opinion based on emotions.
04:58 Joshua: Each generation seems to get a little more focused on
05:01 themselves and separated from history.
05:04 About 15 years ago, we were in Germany with a pastor who said
05:08 that they were a generation away from the Holocaust never
05:10 existing because they didn't speak about it to the
05:12 generation below.
05:13 And now, like you're saying, today, if it isn't on TikTok,
05:16 then it must not have happened.
05:17 That's a terrifying position to be in.
05:19 Avital: It is.
05:21 I have to say that I'm a daughter of a
05:22 Holocaust survivor.
05:23 My father was born in Poland in 1940; and they came to Israel in
05:29 1949, just 1 year after it was founded, and he couldn't be more
05:35 proud than to see my service in the army and our kids' service
05:41 in the army as well.
05:50 Avital: October 7, 6:29, I wake up to the sound of explosives,
05:56 and I don't live next to Gaza.
05:58 Gaza is 100 kilometers from here.
06:01 But it was Saturday morning.
06:02 It was a holiday.
06:04 We were all sleeping. It was early.
06:06 Within seconds, I understood something was going on because
06:09 my alert on my alert app on the phone went berserk.
06:14 The next thing I did was to call my father.
06:16 My father is a religious man, and every Saturday he goes
06:19 to synagogue.
06:20 Now, he does--he observes Shabbat, observes the Saturday,
06:24 the Sabbath; and he doesn't have any means to--doesn't open the
06:27 TV or the radio.
06:29 He doesn't know that there's something going on, and I was
06:31 concerned that he would go.
06:32 And rockets began flying here.
06:35 So the first thing I called him up and I told him, "Stay
06:37 at home.
06:39 Prepare your shelter."
06:40 Of course, I prepared our--my shelter as well.
06:41 The next thing I did was wake up my three kids and my husband,
06:44 which of course, can sleep even when the tank goes around him.
06:49 In 2 o'clock I received a phone call from my commander in the
06:52 reserve duty--my reserve duty in the--it's 2 miles from the
06:55 Lebanese border.
06:56 I packed a bag.
06:58 I had no idea for how long I'm traveling to and how long I will
07:01 stay there, but I packed a bag and I went there.
07:03 I was there for 52 days.
07:06 I came home for two, three weekends, but that's it.
07:09 I was there next to the border and that was a deserted place,
07:13 of course.
07:14 At the same time my husband went to reserve duty in the air
07:17 force, at the same time my oldest daughter went to reserve
07:21 duty in the South Command for 60 days, and at the same time I
07:26 have--a son who is in a special combat unit in a
07:30 regular service.
07:31 So he was not there as well.
07:33 So four out of five of us on October 7 found ourselves as
07:38 part of protecting this country.
07:41 And my story is not unique because there are 300,000
07:44 reservists just like me, and I think it's an indication of the
07:49 huge amount of patriotism that the people of Israel have
07:53 living here.
07:54 Joshua: Definitely.
07:56 Avital: One of the, I don't know even to call it disgusting or
07:59 horrific, things we found upon the bodies of those who
08:04 infiltrated on October 7, those Hamas terrorists who
08:07 infiltrated on October 7, we found receipts, that it was an
08:13 indication to money--sums of money they were paid for to
08:17 kill Jews.
08:19 Now, when I tell you something like this, what kind of numbers
08:22 do you have in your head?
08:25 Joshua: Big numbers, thousands.
08:26 Avital: So since the currency is in shekels, I can help you
08:29 translate into dollars.
08:30 Between 20 and 100 shekels, which is $5 to $25 per person.
08:37 This was the incentive that Hamas gave many of the
08:42 terrorists just to cross the border and kill as many Jews
08:45 as possible.
08:46 Joshua: Well, here's a question to me because that's insane
08:48 first of all, $5 to $25 at the value of a life.
08:51 I've worked in different countries where sex trafficking
08:53 was rampant, talking to parents who were selling their kids
08:55 for $300.
08:57 So this number is insanely small.
08:58 But what happened to the idea that they were doing it strictly
09:01 for their belief system and religion?
09:02 All of a sudden, that seems to poke holes in the idea that it's
09:04 just about their faith if they're wanting to pick up $5.
09:07 Avital: It's not only that.
09:09 Many of them were drugged.
09:10 They were drugged and therefore they were operating in a
09:13 very--almost an automatic kind of mood.
09:16 So you're thinking to yourself, "Wait, if they are so--you know,
09:19 believe ideologically on Hamas' or Muslim Brotherhood agenda,
09:23 why do they need drugs?
09:24 Why do they need payments unless it's a part of that ideology?"
09:29 And we know because we found so many millions of dollars and
09:33 shekels hidden in Hamas safes, in the tunnels we found
09:39 tens of millions of dollars--I'm sorry.
09:42 Hundreds of millions of dollars and shekels in the
09:45 tunnels hidden.
09:46 So the money was a part of the system.
09:51 Caleb: Just recently, I believe it was back April 14 or
09:53 15, it was an attack from Iran.
09:57 This was historical.
09:59 Never in history has Iran directly attacked Israel.
10:02 It's always been through proxies; through Hezbollah,
10:05 through Syria.
10:06 But they sent 300+ drones and ballistic missiles,
10:11 cruise missiles.
10:12 Thankfully, no one was severely harmed, and America helped and
10:18 you all guys--the Iron Dome, all these amazing methods of
10:20 technology defeated their weaponry.
10:24 But we heard afterwards that this was foreknown by the
10:28 American government.
10:30 We heard through Turkey that this was a plan, and we sourced
10:34 that limit, "It's okay if you don't go beyond this.
10:36 You can do this."
10:37 To me that sounds like an allowance of terrorism, that
10:44 even our country would allow such things as some kind of
10:47 pacification for us.
10:48 How can we actually deal with the situation of Iran?
10:52 They are a bully.
10:54 How do you deal with this kind of bully?
10:55 Avital: First of all, we need to know that Iran is the main
10:58 orchestrator, the chief orchestrator of what is
11:00 going on.
11:02 Iran is responsible for October 7 at the end of the day.
11:05 Iran is responsible for the failed situation of Lebanon.
11:08 It's responsible of the atrocities that were going on
11:12 in Syria.
11:13 It's responsible for the amount of ammunition which is going in
11:16 to Judea and Samaria on a daily basis.
11:19 So this is the chief orchestrator.
11:21 But the world needs to understand that Iran is not a
11:25 sole Israeli issue.
11:28 It has an impact all over the world.
11:30 The fact that the Houthis, a remote Yemenite tribe--now,
11:35 Yemen is the weakest, poorest country in the region.
11:38 How come they have the money to fire a missile 2,000 kilometers
11:43 which costs $2 million, $3 million, one missile,
11:46 and they fire dozens?
11:48 Because Iran is behind it.
11:49 Now, the world needs to come together, sanction Iran, whether
11:54 it's business, whether it's educational.
11:57 I mean, 2 weeks ago I couldn't believe when I saw that the
12:01 Iranian foreign minister was a guest in the UN in New York.
12:05 I'm thinking to myself, "What do I see here?"
12:07 So as long as they will be embraced and welcomed by the
12:10 Western world, they will continue.
12:13 Now, Israel is standing in a way as a shield for the
12:16 Western world.
12:18 There was no other country ever in history that had to defend
12:22 itself from 200 drones flying here simultaneously.
12:27 Never, ever.
12:28 But it showed us two good things.
12:30 Number one, the defense systems we have here are magnificent.
12:34 With more than 12 years of experience in Iron Dome and
12:37 Arrow system, almost 95 to 97 success rates of interception.
12:43 And, number two, there was a coalition that worked together
12:45 with Israel: the US, the primary actor; but there was the UK, and
12:49 there was France, there was Jordan.
12:50 I think it also speaks about the joint interest and the need to
12:54 work in a mutual way, to coordinate and to work in order
12:58 to defend not only Israel.
13:00 It's not only for Israel, it's for the entire region, also for
13:02 the world.
13:04 Kirsten: Her story is incredible.
13:07 She is an incredible woman.
13:09 What I as a wife and mom can't even fathom is the fact that in
13:16 one day, her whole life changed.
13:19 She had to go fight.
13:21 Her husband had to fight.
13:23 Two of her children in her home were on the front lines.
13:27 It's unimaginable, but yet that is life in Israel.
13:32 That's what so many of the Israelis had to go through on
13:35 the 7th.
13:36 It's a tough story.
13:38 Wow.
13:39 Caleb: That is the reality of what they are dealing with, and
13:42 the world is telling them, "You don't have a right to
13:44 defend yourselves."
13:45 They say, "Stop moving around.
13:47 You're a moving target.
13:48 Stay still while the enemy fires at you."
13:49 What kind of mentality is this, of a sovereign nation to not be
13:53 allowed to defend themselves?
13:54 If the things that happened to Israel happened to America, we
13:57 would retaliate in a second.
13:59 Entire nations would be toppled.
14:01 But they're asked to show incredible restraint and, trust
14:04 me, they do so because they have compassion even for
14:06 their enemies.
14:08 Joshua: She said that whenever October 7 happened, they didn't
14:10 see each other for 60 days before they got to have a break.
14:13 Once the war started, their family--and these times are so
14:17 horrible, and they are getting worse in so many ways because
14:20 of deception.
14:21 This ministry that God has placed right here for such a
14:23 time as this has been speaking the truth for 45 years.
14:27 We ask you to pray, to give of your finances, of your prayers,
14:31 to share this ministry's truth that it is declaring from the
14:34 front line to your friends and those around you so that we can
14:37 be an effective tool to fight that deception.
14:40 Kirsten: Amen.
14:41 David: There's more of this incredible interview.
14:43 Let's go back to it now.
14:50 Caleb: Well, you spoke about there's disinformation, there's
14:52 lack of education with people not knowing this.
14:55 What about when it comes to the world media and
14:58 world journalism?
14:59 They have an anti-Israel bias clearly.
15:02 You can't deny it.
15:03 Why is everybody in the world stage, even including the United
15:07 Nations, seemingly against Israel?
15:09 Avital: So today in the media world, I think there is a lot of
15:15 competition on who brings the story first, and in order to
15:19 bring the story first, the--some of your ethical journalistic
15:23 values are not being followed.
15:25 For example, credibility.
15:27 Is the story credible or not?
15:29 And I'll give you an example from the war in Gaza.
15:31 A few weeks after the war began, there was some sort of an
15:35 allegation that Israel targeted deliberately a hospital, and the
15:40 media--most of the world media immediately went out with
15:44 headlines describing--quoting Hamas sources, which obviously
15:50 are not objective sources in any way and they have their own goal
15:54 to bash Israel globally.
15:56 And the story was a fake one because, first of all, the
16:00 hospital was standing as it was.
16:03 The Islamic Jihad, which is another terror movement in Gaza,
16:06 actually misfired and hit the parking lot of the hospital.
16:10 But, you know, there's only one little question a decent
16:13 journalist needed to ask that evening and that is, "How many
16:17 beds are in the hospital?"
16:18 Because the answer is 80.
16:20 So if the answer is 80, how can you possibly buy the Hamas
16:24 allegation which says 600 people were killed?
16:26 How?
16:28 Caleb: Just logic. Pure logic.
16:29 Well, you work for the American Jewish Committee and you were
16:32 telling me a little bit earlier that you all have efforts
16:35 working with organizations, groups, and governments around
16:38 the world, including the United States.
16:40 What have you been doing with the United States to help stop
16:42 the spread of anti-Semitism?
16:44 Avital: So AJC has been one of the oldest Jewish organizations.
16:47 It was founded in 1906.
16:49 We have 25 offices in the United States and 15
16:53 international offices.
16:54 Now, anti-Semitism has been, of course, a focal interest for us
16:59 because we do care about the well-being of the Jewish
17:02 communities around the world.
17:03 Since October 7, very unfortunately we see a surge in
17:08 the number of incidents in anti-Semitism.
17:11 As a matter of fact, we reached a point today where Jews are
17:15 afraid to carry Jewish symbols such as the Star of David or
17:20 maybe a yarmulke or any dressing item which is perceived to
17:24 be Jewish.
17:26 In order to combat anti-Semitism, you also need to
17:29 educate and you need to enforce law, and to educate we have a
17:34 lot of workshops which we train different factories, different
17:41 working places, whether it's firms of law or whether it's
17:46 high-tech companies and others because we have to fight
17:49 the ignorance.
17:50 If someone says, "Well, you're a Jew.
17:52 You control the media.
17:53 You figure it out," and they don't even realize it's an
17:55 anti-Semite saying, we have to teach them and explain to them
17:59 why it's an anti-Semite saying.
18:01 So we do those.
18:02 And with regard to enforcement we are working with--on the
18:06 federal level, national level to create laws that would enforce
18:10 and make sure that those anti-Semites are sitting
18:14 behind bars.
18:16 Caleb: What about on a level of religion, Christians?
18:20 We know at this time right now, at least in America, the
18:24 Evangelical community is supportive of the Jewish people
18:26 in Israel, but there's a lot of other religious groups that are
18:30 against Israel.
18:31 We know Islam--not all of Islam is against Israel, but certain
18:36 teachings in the Quran is what Hamas holds to is why they are
18:39 persecuting the Jewish people.
18:41 What can we do across religions, and especially for Christians in
18:45 America, to stop this--?
18:47 Avital: Look, I think that we are in favor of trying to
18:50 partner with as many groups in society that care for Israel.
18:55 Of course, the Christians are critical mass of these groups.
18:59 And as someone who served in the army so many years and is still
19:02 serving in reserve duty, I can tell you that you can see
19:05 Christians serving in the army in numbers which are growing.
19:09 As a matter of fact, Israel and the US share many values.
19:15 Now, one of the values is respecting the religion--the
19:19 freedom of religion, and that's the reason why Israel is the
19:24 only country in this entire Middle East region which you can
19:27 see a constant growth in the number of the Christian
19:30 population here, and they are integrated in all walks of life,
19:34 whether they are doctors or in the high-tech sector, in the
19:36 military, in the government sector, wherever they are.
19:40 And I think this is one of the basic indications to what Israel
19:45 stands for and how it respects the Christian community.
19:50 Joshua: So if somebody is just learning about these issues, if
19:54 somebody wants to play a part, one of the reasons why we're
19:56 here is to try to bring, again, more awareness to
19:58 what can you do when you want to help?
20:00 And they want to get involved in y'all's organization, where are
20:03 the materials, what can they do on a personal level to become
20:05 involved in fighting anti-Semitism?
20:07 Avital: So it's a great question.
20:09 I think that knowledge is a very powerful asset.
20:13 And the question is, in the world of global media and
20:16 pop-ups and notifications 24 hours a day, how do you really
20:20 get the correct information which is not false or fake?
20:25 You can find on our website, ajc.org, a daily update on
20:29 what's going on in Israel.
20:30 It's just one pager, but it's very accurate.
20:32 It's not fake.
20:34 You can be sure that you're getting the
20:35 accurate information.
20:36 Now, Israel also has official sources.
20:39 For example, COGAT.
20:40 COGAT, C-O-G-A-T, is the body which facilitates humanitarian
20:45 aid into Gaza.
20:46 Now, there are more than 20 NGOs which are donating aid to Gaza
20:52 on a daily basis, and I'm not even counting the countries.
20:55 There are more than 20 bakeries which are operating every day
20:59 producing, baking pita breads.
21:01 So this is not a remote area in Africa, this is 2 million people
21:07 who do enjoy at least the human--the best humanitarian
21:10 aid possible.
21:12 And just another thought, you know, we had here a deadly
21:17 civilian war in Syria between 2011 and 2018.
21:21 It was horrible for them.
21:23 Two hundred and fifty people were butchered every week.
21:27 Syria wasn't held to any standards.
21:30 How many times did the National Security Council convene in
21:34 7 years?
21:35 Once, twice.
21:37 How many times did it convene here in 7 months of fighting
21:41 where we had no choice but to protect ourselves?
21:44 We didn't ask to be dragged into atrocities on October 7.
21:47 More than 50 times.
21:50 So please keep that in mind when you hear, read, receive
21:54 information about Israel and go to the best sources, the
21:58 accurate sources, and this will be very helpful to everyone,
22:01 I believe.
22:02 Caleb: You are definitely held to a different standard than
22:04 anyone in the world even according to the rules of war,
22:10 the boundaries that y'all received in 1948.
22:12 Then you lost and regained, and then suddenly this is not
22:16 your land.
22:17 You're occupiers.
22:18 You told me earlier that here's the border to Samaria right
22:20 here, right over that hill.
22:22 And that territory is disputed territory, but it is
22:28 ancestrally, biblically, and of course, by 1948 real law
22:34 standards, your land, your country.
22:35 What do you say to people who claim that you are the
22:38 occupiers, that you are the instigators of war?
22:40 Avital: First of all, if I have the opportunity, I would bring
22:42 them here to Israel.
22:44 You know, we are bringing 25 delegations every year of
22:48 decision makers, politicians from all over the world to show
22:52 them Israel, not through the media, not through a TV screen
22:55 but on the ground.
22:57 And I think this is the critical thing.
22:58 But I am aware that we can't bring everyone.
23:02 Therefore I do suggest sticking to the facts.
23:05 And we are here.
23:07 The Samaria mountains are behind us.
23:09 Tel Aviv is just half an hour from here.
23:11 So let's begin the lesson by learning about the map of Israel
23:17 and how big it is: the size of New Jersey, for example, for
23:20 your American audience.
23:21 But also the challenges.
23:22 Our neighbors are not Luxembourg and Sweden; our neighbors is a
23:28 failed state, Lebanon; a failed state, Syria; Jordan, and Gaza,
23:33 and Egypt.
23:35 These are our neighbors.
23:36 So this is not a kind of pastoral area where you go into
23:39 your car with your trailer and you take a weekend stroll.
23:44 Unfortunately, that's the area where we live.
23:46 And by the way, the name of the army that Israel has is not for
23:51 no reason, the Israeli Defense Forces because that's what we've
23:55 been doing since day one that Israel was founded.
24:00 Caleb: Well, Avital, you gave us so much information and so many
24:03 practical ways for our viewers at home to get involved.
24:07 I just want to thank you for the time you've taken and all the
24:11 work and service that you've done for Israel over all
24:14 these decades.
24:15 Avital: Thank you for the opportunity.
24:17 And I want to tell you that you're always welcome, you're
24:19 always invited.
24:20 And I hope we'll continue our friendship forever.
24:24 Caleb: Thank you, Avital. Avital: Thank you.
24:25 Joshua: Thank you. Avital: Thank you.
24:32 Kirsten: Avital gave us so much information, so much to digest.
24:39 And I think it's rather sad, should I say, that--what stuck
24:43 in my mind honestly is that the terrorists were paid $5 to $25
24:52 per Israeli killed, that that was the cost to them of
24:57 a life.
24:59 And, again, she brought so much out, but that's what stuck
25:02 to me.
25:03 And it's so, so sad and sick what the terrorists are thinking
25:08 about Israelis.
25:10 Caleb: Yes.
25:11 It is a culture of death.
25:12 They celebrate death, and the Israelis celebrate
25:15 life, l'chaim.
25:16 And this is the problem that they're dealing with today, but
25:20 they don't know it's a spiritual battle.
25:22 I think we all know it's a spiritual battle.
25:24 And some people think it may be a complex situation, but here
25:27 sums it all up.
25:29 There's a fallen angel, the enemy of our souls, the enemy of
25:32 God, and he hates God's chosen people because their mere
25:35 existence spells his doom and coming judgments.
25:39 So he's going to do everything he can to wipe them off the face
25:42 of the earth.
25:43 But we have a job, a duty, and an ability given to us by Yeshua
25:48 to step forward in the spirit world and to stand against the
25:52 forces of darkness.
25:53 You know, Matthew 18:18 through 19, it says, "Truly, I tell you
25:56 whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever
25:59 you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
26:01 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about
26:05 anything they ask for it will be done for them by my Father
26:08 in heaven."
26:10 Yeshua said that he had all power in heaven and earth and he
26:12 gave that power to us, and we're not utilizing enough.
26:15 All it takes is two of us, but we can get together a massive
26:19 army, all of you viewers watching, to stand on behalf of
26:21 the Jewish people, to stand on behalf of life to push back
26:24 against the forces of darkness.
26:26 Joshua: That unity that Caleb is speaking of, it was so amazing
26:28 to see in Israel amongst different denominations, amongst
26:31 different faiths.
26:32 Everyone there was unified together in the cause of
26:34 defending their nation, their people, and their existence.
26:38 We see in America so often that we fight within the body of
26:41 Christ so much for things that are preferential or our ideas on
26:45 theology instead of banding together like this
26:48 scripture says.
26:49 Two or more coming together and standing up like a spiritual IDF
26:54 against the devil, that's our job.
26:57 That's what this ministry does.
26:58 The whole purpose of this ministry for 45 years is to
27:01 stand against the lies and deception, to bring you the
27:04 truth of what is really happening, what the Bible really
27:07 says, what Jesus intended for you to understand from his Word,
27:11 and we have to continue delivering that message.
27:14 But it's your job as well.
27:15 We're completely supported by you guys and girls at home.
27:18 It is y'all's responsibility to pray and ask what the Holy
27:20 Spirit would have you do, would he have you financially give,
27:23 whether he has you pray, whether he has you begin to record your
27:26 own messages about Israel.
27:29 Don't let another day go by without asking what your
27:31 responsibility is.
27:32 Kirsten: We have more next week, interviews coming from Israel.
27:36 Everything is so incredibly timely.
27:39 And yes, we are so thankful that you make these programs possible
27:44 by donating.
27:45 Here we go.
27:46 More things to come, but we have to end today's program.
27:49 Caleb: And as you go, sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim.
27:53 David: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
