Caption transcript for “Nova Music Festival Massacre”

00:10 ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
00:14 Joshua Colson: Hey, everybody. I'm Joshua.
00:16 Caleb Colson: And I'm Caleb.
00:17 Joshua: Today is a very special episode.
00:19 We're gonna take you to Israel.
00:21 As you know, October 7 was a terrible, tragic day.
00:24 We are going to tell you these stories again through the
00:27 perspective of an Israeli survivor.
00:29 We were there that day and witnessed the rockets attacks as
00:32 far as Jerusalem.
00:34 But so much more happened and we want to get into them.
00:36 Caleb: That's right.
00:38 The people who lived around the Gaza Envelope in the kibbutzim
00:40 and the moshav suffered great persecution.
00:43 They were massacred, they were brutally raped, they
00:45 were kidnapped.
00:46 And it's sad because nearly 1300 Jews died and the news media
00:51 would like to gloss over that truth, but we want to remind you
00:54 of their sacrifice, the greatest sacrifice of Jewish people in a
00:57 single day since the Holocaust.
00:59 Joshua: You cannot forget these.
01:00 You have to keep retelling the stories so that it is not washed
01:03 away by fake history.
01:04 I want you guys to tune in now to hear this story.
01:09 Caleb: Today, we're heading to the grounds of the infamous
01:11 Re'im music Festival massacre.
01:14 Tragically, 364 civilians were killed and many more wounded by
01:19 Hamas at the Supernova Sukkot Gathering.
01:23 This open air-music festival was scheduled during the Jewish
01:26 holiday of Shemini Atzeret.
01:29 At least 40 hostages were also taken from this location.
01:34 At the conclusion of October 7, Re'im attained the record for
01:37 the largest number of casualties out of any invasion location
01:41 targeting Israeli civilians.
01:43 Throughout the night and early morning hours, thousands had
01:46 gathered, singing and dancing to psytrance music under the shadow
01:50 of a large inflatable Buddha statue.
01:52 Without warning, the terrorists came from land and the air with
01:58 one goal in mind, eradicating a singular people group, the Jews.
02:04 Tragically, 50 survivors of the music festival have already
02:07 committed suicide, while others suffer PTSD.
02:13 Amit Musaaei is a survivor of the festival and he's agreed to
02:17 share his story with us.
02:21 Caleb: I'm deeply honored to be standing here with Amit Musaaei.
02:24 He's a tour guide who takes Christians like you,
02:27 evangelicals, to the land and teaches about the Bible.
02:30 Thank you for joining me today.
02:32 Amit Musaaei: Thank you so much for having me.
02:34 Caleb: Amit, you were here on October 7 at this Nova music
02:38 festival when the terrorists came in and you have quite a
02:40 story to tell.
02:42 Could you tell us what happened?
02:43 Amit: Sure.
02:44 So, in my professional life, I'm a tour guide.
02:46 I'm taking groups, as you said, but on my free time, I'm going
02:51 with friends to parties and festivals like the Nova
02:55 music festival.
02:57 I'm also married.
02:59 I have three daughters.
03:00 My wife is not so much into this music style, which is a benefit
03:03 for me because there is always someone to be with the kids.
03:06 So I have three daughters.
03:07 I have a ten years old, eight years old, and five years old.
03:11 And coming to this festival, we were supposed to be here seven
03:17 of us.
03:18 I left my home in Holon.
03:21 Holon is in the Tel Aviv district and it's approximately
03:25 one hour, thirty minutes drive from home to this location.
03:31 I left home with three of my friends.
03:33 Their name are Osher, Alone, and Alon, and those are like
03:40 my best friends.
03:44 So we left the home at midnight and we decided to use my
03:49 vehicle, which is a Subaru Crosstrek 4W--AWD, and one of
03:56 the friends that would come later to the party just came to
04:00 give us a blessing.
04:01 "Have a good ride.
04:02 We'll see you later."
04:04 His name is Adir and he was supposed to come here with his
04:06 wife Shiraz and their friend, Celine.
04:10 So, we just came to separate and we started to drive down south.
04:15 As I said, it's like one hour, thirty minutes drive.
04:19 Upon arrival, we were coming out of road number 232, going down
04:26 to the gravel roots that bring us here.
04:29 The first thing we've done is parking the vehicle, obviously.
04:32 So the parking lot is located behind you guys.
04:35 There were already, I would say, maybe 2000, possibly even more,
04:41 people already here.
04:42 So that was 1:30 a.m. of October 7.
04:45 The music started the night before, 8 p.m., 7 p.m.
04:49 they already started to play music and some people just like
04:52 to show up earlier.
04:54 We also appreciate coming earlier because it's a better
04:57 opportunity to find a suitable camping site.
05:01 So at about 6:15 a.m.
05:05 I was in the Mushroom dance floor.
05:07 So there were two dance floors here.
05:09 The Nova dance floor, which is the bigger one.
05:12 The Mushroom dance floor is the smaller one and it's on the
05:16 northern edge of the festival's perimeter.
05:20 So being there, I saw that the sun is about to show and I
05:24 decided to go back to my tent to bring sunglasses.
05:28 That's important.
05:29 I brought my sunglasses and Alon, who was with me over
05:32 there, the two other friends were in the main dance floor.
05:37 So coming back with the sunglasses, I stopped between
05:40 the two stages for a moment of oh.
05:43 And now we can move to the other location if you want.
05:46 Caleb: Yeah, come show us.
05:50 Amit: So I'm coming to this location and I'm based between
05:54 the two stages.
05:56 One is over there, one is over there.
05:57 My intention is to go back to my friend to have some
06:00 more dancing.
06:01 And then I realized, okay, it's now 6:15 a.m.
06:05 and my friends are on the way.
06:06 My friends are coming from Holon, three of them.
06:10 They say they're gonna show up around sunrise time and we've
06:14 been texting with them the entire night.
06:16 We also complained that we forgot all our snacks.
06:18 So I'm taking out my phone and I'm calling my friend Adir.
06:23 Adir is answering the phone and then we have this conversation.
06:26 I'm asking him, "Where you are," and he tells me, "Hey, listen,
06:29 I'm on my way.
06:31 I'm 20 minutes away from you.
06:32 You texted us that you have no food.
06:33 You need us to stop somewhere and to buy some snacks?"
06:35 I told him, "No, no worries.
06:37 Don't worry about it.
06:38 We'll be fine."
06:39 And actually, what I've told him that, I knew inside myself that
06:43 Adir already took care of us because this is the person who
06:46 he is.
06:48 He always takes care of others.
06:49 He makes sandwiches for everybody.
06:51 He makes sure that everybody would be hydrated.
06:53 Just his personality, supported by his wife Shiraz as well.
06:58 So, she most likely made the sandwiches.
07:00 So I told him, "Forget about it.
07:02 Just show up already.
07:03 I want to have you here."
07:05 I've asked recently the Nova production team about the
07:08 numbers here.
07:09 So, generally, 3500 tickets were sold.
07:13 By the early morning hours I guess that approximately 3000
07:16 were already here.
07:18 Besides, we have a production team, we have a security team,
07:21 we have a police team, we have first aid team, and we have
07:24 people that are just selling stuff on the food stalls, which
07:28 would be located over here in two rows.
07:31 So to precede my story, I'm going on that direction to the
07:38 small dance floor to meet my friend Alone, and we can
07:41 continue over there.
07:42 Would that be okay?
07:44 ♪♪♪
07:53 Amit: So, I'm arriving here to the smaller dance floor.
07:57 The smaller dance floor name was Mushroom dance floor.
08:00 I'm handing my friend Alone his sunglasses, I'm wearing mine,
08:03 and I'm just, like, enjoying the atmosphere.
08:07 The DJ booth would be over there next to loudspeakers.
08:14 I, approximately, I think there were like at least 500 people in
08:18 this open space under a nice decorated shade and the sun is
08:26 coming from over there.
08:27 So it's not sunrise yet.
08:29 And now we are, like, 6:25 and I'm in the atmosphere and I'm
08:35 dancing and I'm having fun and it's so joyful and I'm looking
08:39 at other people and everybody is smiling and happy.
08:42 And suddenly, I hear this explosion sound.
08:47 Then I'm looking upwards and what I see is bright
08:51 white light.
08:54 I'm living in Israel all of my life.
08:57 I've been under rocket attacks before.
09:00 I know how Iron Dome interception looks like, so I
09:04 immediately identified that.
09:05 On the same second, they pause the music and I'm telling
09:09 everybody, "Gaza, Gaza, Gaza," trying to say, "We are
09:13 under attack.
09:15 The rockets coming from there."
09:16 I know that I'm 3 miles away from the border, I know how
09:20 proximate I am to Gaza, and I know that we are in the Gaza
09:23 Envelope, which is the most targeted territory in Israel by
09:25 Gaza since 2002.
09:28 Thousands of rockets have been sent here since 2002.
09:33 So, true, we have Iron Dome and that could protect us, but Iron
09:37 Dome is not 100% guaranteed to intercept.
09:40 Even if it intercept, the main worry that runs in my head, and
09:44 this is all in seconds, is that if they would intercept, they
09:48 would not intercept over Sderot, they will not intercept over
09:51 the kibbutzim.
09:52 The interceptions will happen on top of the open lands.
09:55 This is how Iron Dome works.
09:58 They stopped the music, the DJ booth, someone took over and
10:01 they say to everybody, "Run away, we are under attack.
10:05 There is a rocket attack and there are interceptions of
10:07 Iron Dome."
10:08 Here, you have less than 15 seconds to find a shelter.
10:12 There is no shelter around us, so the best we can do is to lie
10:16 on the ground and cover our head with our hands.
10:20 What would that give us?
10:21 Protection from falling debris.
10:25 Iron Dome intercept a rocket in the sky, but it's not evaporate
10:30 the rocket, okay?
10:32 It's not like in the cartoons.
10:34 It brings down shreds and shreds can come in this size and they
10:39 can come in this size.
10:40 We're talking about, like, rockets, like big portions of
10:43 pipes falling down to earth.
10:45 So that's what we do, and so everybody on the ground.
10:48 Some people were confused.
10:49 Some people were walking.
10:50 Some people were running.
10:52 It became very chaotic.
10:54 And then someone said, "Run away, evacuate the area."
10:59 So we start to run away.
11:01 We run on that direction towards the main gate of the festival.
11:05 I see the rockets coming out, I see the interceptions in front
11:08 of my eyes, and it's a massive amount of rockets.
11:12 That day only, October 7, we talk about 3000 rockets that
11:15 have been shot to Israel.
11:17 I'm with my friend Alone and I tell him, "Let's go."
11:20 Go where?
11:21 "Let's go back to the tent and I hope that I find the two other
11:24 friends that came with us."
11:26 So I suggest we'll walk towards the campsite that I was at, and
11:31 we can proceed from over there.
11:33 Okay.
11:35 ♪♪♪
11:42 ♪♪♪
11:47 Caleb: It was very difficult visiting the site of the Nova
11:50 music massacre.
11:51 I mean, this was the location where blood was spilled.
11:55 It was like a sacrificial altar to these demon gods, Allah.
11:59 Hundreds died there and you could feel that tension, that
12:04 darkness in the air when we went there.
12:06 Off camera, Amit explained to us how Hamas not only killed these
12:12 Jewish people, but they tied them up to trees with barbed
12:16 wire, they brutally maimed them, they cut off their heads, they
12:21 raped the women, they even burned people alive in
12:23 their cars.
12:25 Joshua: As we go back to Amit's story, you're going to hear how
12:27 God supernaturally brought him through safely, step by step, as
12:31 he faced these obstacles that could have prevented him from
12:34 getting out to safety.
12:35 But unfortunately, you're also going to hear about the
12:37 casualties that happened amongst very dear friends of his.
12:39 We want you guys to listen now.
12:45 Amit: We are on the run from next to that food truck to the
12:49 camping site, which is this planted tree territory, those
12:52 are eucalyptus trees.
12:54 And we camped approximately here.
12:56 Upon arrival, me and Alone are coming from that area.
12:59 We arrive here.
13:01 On the same second, Osher and Alone, the two other friends,
13:05 show up.
13:06 It's not that they were here waiting for us.
13:07 We just come from different directions and we meet on the
13:10 very same second.
13:12 I see that as a miracle on its own.
13:16 Coming here, we see people are taking their time, folding their
13:21 camping gear, going towards their vehicles.
13:24 Some people decided to just sit down and wait.
13:26 Possibly, this will pass soon.
13:31 For me, I can only think about one thing: my family at home.
13:39 Because those rockets are going also to the Tel Aviv district
13:43 where I live.
13:45 Eventually, I'm deciding to go home.
13:48 I told my friends, "We are not staying here," and then I took
13:52 out my phone again, as I'm worried for my friend who was on
13:56 the way.
13:57 He was 20 minutes away from me.
13:58 He's in the area, he's in the Gaza Envelope.
14:00 I know that.
14:01 So I'm calling him and that was a very short conversation.
14:05 "Hey, Adir. Are you okay?"
14:06 "Yes, yes."
14:07 "Are you in a shelter? Are you safe?"
14:09 "Yes, we're in a bomb shelter. Don't worry."
14:12 At the background I could hear the voice of his wife Shiraz
14:15 calling out and her voice was echoing.
14:19 For me, it confirmed she's in a safe place because the bomb
14:22 shelter is an empty space, so I know that they are safe.
14:26 I told him, "Okay, Adir, just be with your wife, give
14:28 her comfort.
14:29 We'll talk later."
14:31 I hanged up the conversation and then I turned back to my friends
14:32 and I told them, "Guys, we're leaving.
14:34 We're going out of here."
14:37 So we're going to the emergency exit, that's more convenient
14:39 than going to the main gate.
14:41 So I lead you to the emergency exit on our way towards
14:46 the vehicle.
14:50 On my right hand side here there would be a row of porta-potties,
14:54 and that's the exit.
14:56 So we are just went outside of the festival.
15:00 Going towards the parking lot, I will point out on the
15:03 approximate location where we parked, and I will share with
15:06 you what happened then.
15:10 Amit: So we are walking towards my vehicle, which was somewhere
15:12 over there in the center, and I'm coming to my vehicle and I'm
15:19 going to the car keys.
15:22 I'm pulling out the car keys and I'm clicking the button.
15:28 Nothing happens.
15:29 No response.
15:30 Rockets booming, interceptions, lots of chaos in the sky,
15:35 at least.
15:37 Some people are running, some people are screaming, some
15:38 people are scared, and you hear extreme boom sounds.
15:43 Now, I know that the battery is dead here.
15:45 I know, because the car gave me alerts, "Change the battery,"
15:48 for, like, three months, but if it still works, why would you
15:51 change the battery?
15:53 At least, this is how I work.
15:55 So I pull out the mechanical key so I could open the door, but
16:00 eventually, trying to ignite the engine with all this one active,
16:06 there is no access key, the car would not respond.
16:09 To put us on the timeline, 6:29 is when we noticed the rockets.
16:13 About 6:45 we're next to the tent and I'm calling my friend.
16:17 And now it's like 6:50, that we are next to the car, we are in
16:19 the car, the car is not responding.
16:22 Eventually, after a few attempts of trying to put the code in to
16:27 click the start button, the car eventually started.
16:30 That's another miracle.
16:33 So now the car is on, but that created about ten minutes delay.
16:38 So, by 6:55 I have a working vehicle and my friends are in,
16:44 but now we are struggling on how to exit through those lanes,
16:48 which are a bit chaotic, because everybody is loading their
16:51 vehicles, everybody is reversing, everybody is going on
16:55 that direction.
16:56 Luckily enough, I have an AWD and all my mind is, like, don't
17:04 stop, don't stop, just move, move, move, move, move.
17:10 I'm pressing the gas pedal and I'm bypassing everybody through
17:13 the fields.
17:14 Again, it's dangerous because of the cut trunks and the grass is
17:16 hiding them, but I'm making some maneuvers and eventually I'm by
17:20 the interchange joining to the road.
17:22 So I've passed maybe 40, 50 vehicles that were jammed.
17:26 Now, my intention is to turn, on the road, to turn left.
17:30 This will bring me west and then north.
17:34 But the road is blocked by the festival security.
17:38 Why?
17:39 Back then, we had no clue.
17:41 So I turned right.
17:43 That's south.
17:44 And after a few miles of driving, we said, "Okay, we need
17:51 to call our friends."
17:52 So Alone is sitting behind me and he's calling Adir,
17:56 our friend.
17:58 Adir is not answering the phone.
17:59 Instead, he calls Adir's wife, Shiraz.
18:02 Shiraz did answer the phone and she said, "The situation is bad.
18:08 We are in Mefalsim," that's the location's name in a
18:10 bomb shelter.
18:12 We hear shootings and there are--the last word she said was
18:17 very, not clear to us.
18:19 We still today not sure if she said "mehablim," which is
18:23 terrorists, or "hayalim," which are soldiers.
18:26 But possibly, because they saw people in uniforms.
18:29 We didn't have time to process the information just coming from
18:32 our friends, and suddenly on the side of the road we slowed down
18:37 to watch a big white GMC Savana truck that had no windows, all
18:42 the windows were broken.
18:44 And then my friends told me, "Amit, just go, go, go.
18:47 Keep on moving."
18:48 Pressing the gas pedal again and I'm driving very slowly, 55
18:51 miles an hour.
18:56 Few seconds later, Alone, sitting behind me said, "Guys,
19:01 I'm pretty sure I saw some bodies in that vehicle."
19:04 And I'm like, "What bodies are you talking about?"
19:06 But I'm keep on going, and after 8 miles leaving this site, we
19:10 arrived to an intersection that I was familiar with.
19:13 It's a gas station which has a mini market.
19:15 I've been there before.
19:16 It's a familiar place. Let's stop.
19:18 We have some concrete at last.
19:21 While we are stopping the car, I'm telling my friends, "Just
19:23 move out."
19:25 I left the engine on because I was afraid it would not
19:27 start again.
19:28 I forgot my phone in the car.
19:30 As we are running away from the vehicle to the building, and
19:33 it's a short, like, a 10, 15 seconds walk, someone from by
19:38 the building is shouting towards us, "Duck down, there is a
19:42 terrorist here."
19:43 He didn't finish the sentence and we hear heavy machine gun
19:46 shots towards us.
19:49 We could even see the ricochets hitting on the asphalt.
19:53 We made it safely, all four of us, to the building.
19:57 We are hiding next to the building, but I wanna
19:59 be indoors.
20:00 I'm looking on my left, I see one police officer, possibly the
20:03 guy that just commanded us to duck down, and he's holding a
20:06 weapon, a pistol, but the guy is pale and definitely in shock.
20:12 I need to process the information right now and what
20:15 I'm processing is, I'm about to die.
20:18 This terrorist will show up sometime soon.
20:21 He will start shoot at us.
20:23 He can hit me in the head, in the heart, and I'm dead.
20:26 It's lethal.
20:27 It's short distance and I have nothing to protect myself with.
20:31 I'm turning back to my friends who are lying on the ground
20:33 behind me and I tell them, "Guys, I don't
20:35 think I'm gonna survive this.
20:36 If you will survive this, tell my wife and daughters that
20:38 I love them and I'm sorry."
20:41 And minutes after, nothing happened and I start to see
20:44 people coming out from their hiding spaces.
20:47 So we are standing over there and I find, like, an emergency
20:51 door into the building.
20:53 I'm pulling the door--pushing the door, actually, and I'm in
20:57 the kitchen of the restaurant in that gas station, together with
21:01 possibly 40 other people.
21:04 We were there for like one hour, twenty minutes until some
21:08 soldiers had arrived and advised us to continue driving south
21:11 because we are in an unsafe territory.
21:12 There are battles all around us.
21:15 We were already acknowledged about the terrorist invasion
21:18 because some footage videos came in to the phones showing us a
21:22 pickup truck fully occupied with terrorists taking down a police
21:26 vehicle in Ofakim.
21:28 And our location, our hiding spot, was in the
21:30 windmill section.
21:31 We were very close to Ofakim, maybe 4 miles away from us.
21:36 What I made sense of is that the vehicle that I saw destroyed,
21:41 and then the shooting towards us, came from two different
21:43 pickup trucks.
21:44 Was--one was in front of me, one was behind me, and I was just
21:47 locked between them without knowing.
21:49 They were already on the roads.
21:52 So we were listening to those soldiers that advised us
21:54 to move.
21:56 We left that building, drove 8 miles away.
21:59 Now I'm driving 75 miles per hour.
22:01 I'm fully aware of the terrorists.
22:03 We arrived to Kibbutz Tze'elim, which welcomed us.
22:07 It's about 20 miles away from the Gaza border.
22:10 So it's more safe over there.
22:12 But now we are processing everything and mostly worrying
22:15 for our friends who are not responding to the
22:17 phones anymore.
22:19 The families are calling us with hopes that we saw them, but we
22:21 told them, "Listen, they never made it to meet us yet.
22:24 They were on the way and all we know that they're in a bomb
22:26 shelter in Mefalsim and they heard shootings and they saw
22:30 people in uniforms," which, by that time, we already knew that
22:33 the terrorists disguised themselves as soldiers.
22:37 They have been in a bomb shelter, something like 15
22:39 minutes, they were very close to one of the breaching points of
22:42 the terrorist, one mile away exactly.
22:45 The terrorists took over the road.
22:47 They stormed towards north and towards south, which means they
22:51 came all the way to Mefalsim and Sderot, and also coming down
22:54 here and even further south.
22:57 They've made road ambushes.
22:59 They killed a lot of people on the road.
23:00 And once they've arrived to the location of my friends, they
23:03 also tried to take over the kibbutz, without success.
23:06 So they centered their goal in killing as much people as
23:10 possible by the entrance to the kibbutz.
23:12 They killed some civilians that were just on the road and then
23:15 they come to the bomb shelter.
23:17 Besides my three friends, two other people were there.
23:21 One of them is Raz, who survived, another one was
23:23 Shlomi, he was 50 years old, and the five of them were hiding
23:27 in the bomb shelter.
23:29 The terrorists came to the bomb shelter entrance, he throw
23:31 grenades inside.
23:32 He killed Shiraz, he killed Shlomi.
23:36 He severely injured Celine.
23:38 Adir managed to step out and then he was killed from
23:41 point blank.
23:46 The terrorists then came in to execute them.
23:49 Raz managed to hide behind the bodies of the ladies and then
23:55 the terrorists left.
23:56 They actually used an RPG to destroy the gates to the kibbutz
24:02 and then they stormed in with hopes to take some hostages.
24:05 They were not so successful in doing so, but there was a gap of
24:08 time that the space was empty, so Raz survived, went out to
24:12 call for help.
24:13 He went into the kibbutz.
24:16 He knocks on the first door he see.
24:21 The house owner opened the door for him, holding a knife, coming
24:24 to kill him, and he told him, "No, don't kill me.
24:26 I'm an Israeli Jew."
24:27 And then he fainted out and the next thing he remembers is
24:30 himself in the hospital, testifying for Adir's brothers
24:32 about the death of the beloved brother, his wife, and the
24:36 friend Celine.
24:39 Adir and Shiraz were not just like my friends, they were me
24:43 and my wife's friends.
24:45 He was also my neighbor.
24:46 They lived a minute walk from me on the same street.
24:50 Our daughters are in the same exact ages, and besides the
24:54 families together, we've done everything together, picnics
24:57 together, we travel abroad together.
25:01 We spend a lot of time together, and their daughters are like my
25:05 daughters and my daughters were like their daughters.
25:08 So, besides of Goshen and Gilly, the daughters of Adir
25:11 and Shiraz, who lost both of their parents, Celine came to
25:15 this party to celebrate the end of her maternity leave.
25:20 That's the story I have to share with you.
25:23 Caleb: Thank you, Amit.
25:24 Amit: [speaking in Hebrew] Thank you very much guys.
25:26 Joshua: Thank you. Amit: God bless you.

26:00 Caleb: It was a very special time we had to spend with Amit.
26:03 And just by circumstance, before we started filming, Amit's
26:07 deceased friends, their family, showed up to the grounds for the
26:10 very first time to show their respects.
26:13 And the mother of one of his friends came up weeping and she
26:16 hugged me and she told me, "Thank you.
26:19 Thank you for telling their story."
26:22 Joshua: Guys, if you want to be a blessing to Goshen and Gilly,
26:25 Amit has set up a page where you can donate to help them for
26:28 their future.

26:40 Caleb: Amit's story is full supernatural intervention.
26:42 If he had stayed at his tent, he would have been dead when Hamas
26:46 showed up.
26:47 Instead, he felt that voice calling him, "Go, keep going."
26:49 And he arrived at his car and the battery was dead because he
26:52 wouldn't change his battery, but he waited ten minutes and those
26:56 ten minutes were crucial.
26:57 If he had gotten out earlier, he would have turned left on
26:59 Highway 232 and hit a terrorist blockade and would have
27:02 been shot.
27:03 But instead, he had to go south.
27:05 And God spared his life even when he was at the gas station,
27:08 and as he was driving, he said there's always a group of
27:11 terrorists before him, behind them, but they never intercepted
27:13 those terrorists.
27:15 Joshua: As a tour guide, Amit is well versed in the Bible.
27:18 He understands the Christian faith, as he's met Christians
27:20 from all over the world.
27:22 When we talked to him, we said, "You know, your life was spared
27:24 for a reason."
27:25 He agreed and he knew that it was.
27:26 He still struggles as to why.
27:28 We said, "Because Yeshua loves you and he wants you to go forth
27:31 with this story."
27:33 Stories like these and of the survivors that happened of
27:36 October 7, we are commissioned by God to tell the stories and
27:40 it is important that stories like this and the rest of the
27:43 stories from the Bible continue to live on and on in history.
27:46 But we can't do that without your donations.
27:48 We are solely dependent on them.
27:50 We ask you right now to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in what
27:53 you can do to be a part because in today's society we need to
27:57 hear the truth more than ever, as lies continue to abound and
28:00 continue to try to confuse and deceive.
28:03 Caleb: And guys, as you go, please remember to sha'alu
28:06 shalom Yerushalayim.
28:08 Joshua: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
