Episode: “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”
From the grounds of the horrific Nova Music Festival massacre, Joshua and Caleb explain the true story of Zionism and Satan’s plan to stop the rebirth of Israel. The modern movement of antisemitism began with one falsified document that would create mistrust against the Jewish people for all time. The brothers uncover The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and how Marxism, through Stalin, and Hitler’s Mein Kampf would be used to ethnically cleanse the Jews.
Series: “Rebuilding the Ruined Cities”
In this series, Joshua and Caleb visit war-torn areas in the Holy Land where they discuss hope and blessing amidst ruin and pain. God will faithfully fulfill His promise to heal, restore, and rebuild Israel once again: “‘They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them … never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them,’ says the Lord your God” (Amos 9:14–15).

Caption transcript for Rebuilding the Ruined Cities: “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” (9/12)

  • 00:09 Caleb Colson: The Jews have
  • 00:11 never had it easy in history. Although God has blessed the children of Abraham and they
  • 00:14 flourish and prosper wherever they go, Satan always steps in
  • 00:18 to shrink the Jewish population through mass genocide.
  • 00:35 Joshua Colson: The last 200 years have been an extremely
  • 00:38 tumultuous time for the Jews.
  • 00:40 I believe Satan had a sense of what was coming up.
  • 00:42 He stood in God's presence, heard his spoken word, the devil
  • 00:45 knows the prophecies, though he historically misinterprets them,
  • 00:49 and thus you see an antisemitic hate rise at a fever pitch mere
  • 00:52 decades before the rebirth of Israel.
  • 00:59 Joshua: We're here at T'kuma site, this is, for the best
  • 01:03 description I can give, a police impound yard that was created
  • 01:08 just for the vehicles of all those who were burned alive on
  • 01:13 October 7th by Hamas.
  • 01:15 It is a vast graveyard of cars, some burned completely to the
  • 01:20 sheet metal, and others full of bullet holes and broken glass.
  • 01:24 And when you look in here you see two vans that belong to the
  • 01:27 terrorists, two vans of people that did all of this damage and
  • 01:33 took all of these lives.
  • 01:35 All of this, just another aspect, another visual, of the
  • 01:40 amount of loss of life on that day.
  • 01:43 Caleb: When most people hear the word "pogrom," they think of
  • 01:46 stories like "Fiddler on the Roof" with the Russian Jew,
  • 01:49 Tevye, who is expelled from his home, his village, due to
  • 01:54 antisemitism, but a pogrom is these riots, these acts incited
  • 01:59 by hatred against the Jewish people on a massivscale with
  • 02:04 the intent to expel them from their homes or even kill them.
  • 02:09 And you see that from the early 1700s all the way to the
  • 02:13 Holocaust, pogroms weren't just limited to Russia, but they
  • 02:18 occurred all over Europe, even in the Middle East, worldwide.
  • 02:21 You can see that Satan was triggering these points to get
  • 02:27 everybody to act in unison to try to destroy the Jewish
  • 02:30 people, but he will not succeed and he didn't succeed, because
  • 02:37 everywhere the Jewish people went, God blessed them and they
  • 02:42 came to these new homes.
  • 02:43 They were kicked out of their old homes and they were given
  • 02:46 these plots of land that were just desolate and dirty and
  • 02:52 nothing could grow on them, but when they settled and rebuilt,
  • 02:56 God blessed them and they flourished again.
  • 02:59 Then you see the cycle of antisemitism rise up again.
  • 03:06 For as soon as God would bless them, jealousy would be incited by their neighbors to expel them again from their new home.
  • 03:11 Joshua: As these pogroms would happen, the conflicts of the
  • 03:14 time period were used to masquerade the real point of
  • 03:17 what was going on.
  • 03:19 We would see civil wars, we would see world wars, we would
  • 03:22 see all these different conflicts rise up, and in the
  • 03:24 background of these we would see the real plot of the enemy was
  • 03:27 to push this antisemitic genocide, this destruction of
  • 03:32 the Jewish people, and there's really no greater evidence of
  • 03:35 this than in World War II.
  • 03:37 This massive world war was actually used as a smokescre
  • 03:42 for Satan's biggest attempt to eradicate every Jew on
  • 03:46 the planet.
  • 03:48 Joshua: Joel 3:1 through 3, "In those days and at that time,
  • 03:51 when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will
  • 03:55 gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley
  • 03:57 of Jehoshaphat.
  • 03:59 There I will put them on trial for what they did to my
  • 04:01 inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people
  • 04:05 among the nations and divided up my land.
  • 04:08 They cast lots for my people and traded boys for prostitutes.
  • 04:11 They sold girls for wine to drink."
  • 04:14 Joshua: According to Joel 3, God will not allow those nations who
  • 04:17 took place in the Jews being scattered to go unchecked.
  • 04:21 They will be judged in the judgment of the sheep and
  • 04:23 the goats.
  • 04:25 The explosions continue to go off in the background.
  • 04:27 It's been more consistent this morning than the rest of
  • 04:31 this trip.
  • 04:32 Behind me you've seen the burned cars earlier that took place on
  • 04:36 October 7th and Hamas attacked, and all these other cars you
  • 04:40 see, these cars go so far.
  • 04:43 Things like this are proof and testament to anyone in the world
  • 04:47 who would balk at the idea that October 7th was in some way
  • 04:51 overplayed at the scope of this tragedy.
  • 04:55 Caleb: I think it's interesting that God takes these events of
  • 04:58 hatred, of persecution, anti-Semitism to make something
  • 05:02 good out of it.
  • 05:03 That's just the way he is, because if there wasn't that
  • 05:07 persecution of the Jewish people, we wouldn't have gotten
  • 05:10 men like lord Balfour and the Balfour contract to come into
  • 05:13 being, or even Theodore Herzl, who is the father of the modern
  • 05:17 Zionist movement.
  • 05:18 It's that proposal from him that the Jews need a place of safety
  • 05:22 to call their own so that they will not be exterminated in the
  • 05:26 host countries that they were living.
  • 05:28 And this idea of the Jews having a right to their own autonomous
  • 05:33 state is known as Zionism, and to some it's a swear word today.
  • 05:37 Joshua: Let's say we make up a few terms for a second.
  • 05:41 Let's say Frenchianism, Germanism, Americanism, let's
  • 05:46 say that these are terms that are used to describe nations
  • 05:49 having the right to live in the land of which they come from.
  • 05:53 For some reason, if we were to make those terms up and use
  • 05:56 that, that would be completely fine, right?
  • 05:57 A Frenchman has the right to live in France.
  • 06:00 Somebody from Germany has the right to live in Germany.
  • 06:03 However, when it comes to Zionism, that word all of a
  • 06:06 sudden becomes bigot, that becomes occupier, that becomes
  • 06:11 somebody who doesn't have the right to the land of Israel who
  • 06:15 literally comes from Israel.
  • 06:17 Joshua: Zechariah 8:1 through 3, "Again the word of the Lord of
  • 06:20 hosts came, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts, I am zealous
  • 06:24 for Zion with great zeal, with great fervor I am zealous
  • 06:28 for her.'
  • 06:29 Thus says the Lord, 'I will return to Zion and dwell in the
  • 06:31 midst of Jerusalem.
  • 06:33 Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of
  • 06:36 the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain.'"
  • 06:39 Caleb: People like to claim that Theodor Herzl was the father of
  • 06:43 modern-day Zionism but I believe it goes back even further to the
  • 06:48 God of Abraham, Father God, who designed this idea that the
  • 06:54 children of Israel, that the Hebrews, have a right to their
  • 06:57 own land that they could never be kicked ouof, a place of
  • 07:01 safety, a place to call their own, and it's interesting that,
  • 07:06 you know, this Ionism that we have today is not about hate,
  • 07:11 it's not about taking something away from someone else, it's
  • 07:15 just the Jews having a right to live peacefully, not trying to
  • 07:18 hurt or harm or put their beliefs on any other nation
  • 07:22 around them, but so that they cannot be displaced, so that
  • 07:25 they cannot be murdered, attacked in the night as they
  • 07:28 sleep, massacred, so their children can grow up and live in
  • 07:31 safetynd freedom and they can wear their hats without being
  • 07:34 mocked, their yarmulke, their Kippahs.
  • 07:36 How radical of a concept can this possibly be?
  • 07:40 Well, Genesis 13:14 through 16 says, "And the Lord said to
  • 07:45 Abram, 'Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you
  • 07:48 are, northward, southward, eastward, and westward, for all
  • 07:53 the land which you see I give to you and your descendants
  • 07:56 forever, and I will make your descendants as the dust of the
  • 07:59 earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth,
  • 08:02 then your descendants also could be numbered.'"
  • 08:10 Joshua: We mentioned earlier this morning there's been an
  • 08:12 exceptional amount of explosions that we've been hearing, more
  • 08:16 today than in the entire trip.
  • 08:18 As we were driving here, the internet was alarmed and said
  • 08:21 that the explosions that we're hearing are from Hamas attacking
  • 08:25 Rafah, which is very, very close to where we're at right now.
  • 08:27 Caleb: These bomb shelters beside us, these are relatively
  • 08:30 small, but they're scattered around the property to make sure
  • 08:33 that if a rocket does reach here, people have enough time to
  • 08:35 find a place to escape.
  • 08:37 But the concept of Zionism will always be a threat to Satan, and
  • 08:41 that's because he doesn't want God to fulfill his promises to
  • 08:45 the Jewish people.
  • 08:46 He doesn't want the Jewish people to live in the land of
  • 08:49 Israel, because that's prophecy fulfilled, and if that prophecy
  • 08:53 is fulfilled, that means that the quick and soon-coming
  • 08:56 prophecy of his judgment and his doom is certain.
  • 09:00 Joshua: You see, we've talked about this before, but Satan
  • 09:03 can't create anything on his own, he can simply counterfeit
  • 09:06 and infiltrate, and so what he does and he's done here, is over
  • 09:09 time he has taken something that was good and twisted it and
  • 09:13 counterfeited it into something that was evil.
  • 09:15 So, he's gone in to Christians and used so-called Christians to
  • 09:19 be one of the main persecutors of the Jewish people, but these
  • 09:23 so-called Christians weren't really Christians to begin with.
  • 09:25 You see, Satan had already made an apostate church at that time,
  • 09:29 and these individuals had never attained their salvation through
  • 09:32 submission to Yeshua.
  • 09:34 They had never been indwelled with the Holy Spirit.
  • 09:35 They had been ordained, they had been christened, they've been
  • 09:37 baptized, they had purchased their salvation with
  • 09:40 indulgences, but they had never submitted their life to him.
  • 09:43 They had never asked for forgiveness and accepted him
  • 09:45 into their heart.
  • 09:46 Caleb: That's why Ephesians 2:8 through 9 says, "For by grace
  • 09:50 you have been saved through faith, and that not of
  • 09:54 yourselves, is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man
  • 09:58 should boast."
  • 10:00 Satan would once again infiltrate something that
  • 10:03 is good.
  • 10:04 The term "Zionism," for instance, would happen in the
  • 10:07 early 1900s when he would create this lie, this fabrication that
  • 10:12 Zionism was evil and was all linked to this book that was
  • 10:17 reportedly discovered and then published.
  • 10:20 You may know the title of this book, it's called "The Protocols
  • 10:23 of the Elders of Zion."
  • 10:28 Joshua: We're here at the Supernova Sukkot Gathering,
  • 10:32 the site where 364 lives were taken that day on October 7th.
  • 10:37 Caleb: Well, back to the book I was discussing first published
  • 10:42 in Imperial Russia in 1903, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"
  • 10:47 was reported to be a secret manual, a meeting of minutes if
  • 10:51 you will, that was a discussionbetween these evil Jewish world
  • 10:57 leaders, whose names are never divulged or their identities,
  • 11:02 but their secret plan is to take over the world, the banking
  • 11:05 systems, economy, everything they want and dupe the ignorant
  • 11:10 Gentiles into submission.
  • 11:12 Well, the truth is that this text has now been discovered to
  • 11:16 be plagiarized from earlier works of political satire that
  • 11:20 are actually linked to Napoleon Bonaparte.
  • 11:23 Another theory is that this text was deed a secret manual from
  • 11:27 evil world powers, not Jewish people, but that they wrote this
  • 11:32 book in a way that including other plagiarized works that if
  • 11:36 it was discovered, if their plans, if their hidden codes
  • 11:39 were discovered, people would just read that book and see, oh,
  • 11:43 this is the Jewish people, and would incriminate the Hebrews
  • 11:46 for all life's problems.
  • 11:48 Joshua: Regardless of the origins of this book, this book
  • 11:51 is evil.
  • 11:52 This book was republished and sent across the world, sending
  • 11:55 this message that Jews are evil and this is their master plan to
  • 11:58 take over the world.
  • 11:59 This book was used as the baseline for so many things, but
  • 12:04 one particular individual you may know, Adolf Hitler, used
  • 12:08 this as the thesis for demonizing the Jews and creating
  • 12:12 his own book of horror, "Mein Kampf."
  • 12:18 Behind us you see these signs, some memorials, but others like
  • 12:22 this one right here are signs calling for the release of those
  • 12:26 who are still held hostage by Hamas all these months later.
  • 12:30 Caleb: That dangerous book, "MeiKampf," "Protocols of the
  • 12:34 Elders of Zion," this proves there's power to the pen, that
  • 12:37 man can change the world with new ideas and thought processes
  • 12:41 that can turn common decency against particular peoples
  • 12:46 and ethnicities.
  • 12:47 That reminds me of the age of Enlightenment and reason with
  • 12:49 fools like Voltaire who came up and praised that the knowledge
  • 12:53 of man can be greater, can be his own god, can be worshiped
  • 12:57 higher than the mind of Messiah and the Word of God.
  • 13:01 Thus, Voltaire's works of Enlightenment inspired modern
  • 13:05 Luciffarians, the creators of the Bavarian Illuminati, and
  • 13:09 other such organizations and sects of liberalism.
  • 13:13 Joshua: Karl Marx wrote "The Communist Manifesto," another
  • 13:17 publication of arrogance and pride against the Creator that
  • 13:21 led to the annihilation of millions of people all under the
  • 13:25 guise of social justice.
  • 13:27 What it really did was put yet another crosshairs onto the
  • 13:29 Jewish people, causing more death and more persecution for
  • 13:32 them, but the sad thing is that even after escaping all of this
  • 13:37 atrocities, the ideas and concepts were so entrehed into
  • 13:42 their psyche, into their culture, that the things we see
  • 13:45 like kibbutzim and moshavs, these other constructs that
  • 13:49 happened at the rebirth of Israel, were because of
  • 13:53 those concepts.
  • 13:55 Joshua: Ezekiel 34:13, "I will bring them, the Jewish people,
  • 14:00 out from the nations and gather them from the countries.
  • 14:03 I will bring them into their own land.
  • 14:05 I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the
  • 14:08 ravines and in all the settlements in the land."
  • 14:11 Caleb: Now, the good news is Satan's plans failed.
  • 14:14 He failed at trying to stop the rebirth of the state of Israel,
  • 14:17 the formation of the Jewish state, the extermination of the
  • 14:19 Jewish people, and you see that God fulfilled his Word with
  • 14:24 Ezekiel 34:36 and 37.
  • 14:28 But it's kind of interesting that on October 7th, the
  • 14:32 communities that were hurt the worst by the invasion of Hamas
  • 14:36 were those who immediately surrounded the Gaza Strip.
  • 14:39 Those were kibbutzim and mohaves.
  • 14:41 And a kibbutzim, these are communal living areas where
  • 14:46 like-minded people come together, they work together,
  • 14:49 they share the profit, no one owns anything in particular.
  • 14:53 It's this purpose of utopia for everyone to come together, not
  • 14:58 be influenced by outside government.
  • 15:00 It's not spiritual in a sense, it's not religious in a sense,
  • 15:04 it's sort of a mix of using socialism and Zionism together,
  • 15:08 but I would best compare it to in the United States you have
  • 15:12 communities of Mennonites and Amish, though they are
  • 15:15 religious, they wanted to be sepated from outside
  • 15:18 government influence so they can maintain their spiritual freedom
  • 15:21 to worship God in the way that they saw fit.
  • 15:23 Joshua: But it was near Kibbutz Re'im that the most infamous
  • 15:27 genocide of October 7th took place in a wide open field very
  • 15:31 similar to Coachella.
  • 15:32 It's a music festival, the Supernova Sukkot Gathering.
  • 15:36 This was a trance music festival where people gathered together
  • 15:40 for love and music and infinite freedom, where the propensities
  • 15:44 full of psychedelic drugs, all kinds of things.
  • 15:47 That's where we're standing today, guys.
  • 15:50 It was here that 50-plus Hamas terrorists arrived in vans and
  • 15:56 paragliders and began to indiscriminately gun down
  • 16:00 Jewish youth.
  • 16:02 Three-hundred-and-sixty-four human lives were taken that day,
  • 16:06 brutally, savagely.
  • 16:07 They were burned, their bodies desecrated, they were raped,
  • 16:12 they were murdered in ways that a common man wouldn't think of.
  • 16:17 This wasn't done to be hidden, in fact they were wearing body
  • 16:21 cams, some live-streaming.
  • 16:22 This was done to show all the world.
  • 16:23 In fact, Caleb and I watched that footage uncut and I can
  • 16:27 tell you that to this day of all the things that I've seen, and
  • 16:29 I've seen a lot, it is the most depraved acts that I've ever
  • 16:33 seen in my entire life.
  • 16:35 Caleb: Yet we see all it took was less than two weeks for the
  • 16:39 support of Israel from the world to turn against the
  • 16:43 Jewish people.
  • 16:44 That's how close we are, explosions still going on.
  • 16:46 I don't know if the audio picked that up.
  • 16:49 The war still goes on even today, but the focus of the
  • 16:53 whole world is against Israel.
  • 16:55 They are the ones that are the occupiers and the Palestinians
  • 16:59 are the ones that were justified by this massacre.
  • 17:03 They had a reason for it and it's okay for them to do it
  • 17:07 because their home was the one that was taken.
  • 17:11 Joshua: We're currently standing right here.
  • 17:13 According to this map, we're literally only 3 miles from the
  • 17:17 Gaza border.
  • 17:19 Caleb: Now, it's sort of ironic it's the Socialists and
  • 17:23 Marxists, the Enlightened ones around the world and in America
  • 17:26 that are calling for the expulsion of the Jews for their
  • 17:29 land, and not just their expulsion but their
  • 17:31 complete annihilation.
  • 17:33 Isn't that interesting?
  • 17:35 These are the ones who claim to be the most liberal, the most
  • 17:37 tolerant, the most accepting of all peoples, but when it comes
  • 17:41 to the Jewish people, no one can stand for their existence.
  • 17:46 Joshua: These communist holdovers who now have their
  • 17:48 PhDs are the ones in the university who are teaching
  • 17:51 our kids today.
  • 17:53 The kids you see in these rallies, the kids you see who
  • 17:55 are yelling anti-Semitic things, who are suggesting the Jews are
  • 18:01 the ones creating these hate crimes, they are literally being
  • 18:04 educated by the individuals who learned from all of these
  • 18:08 Communist works that we said, and saddest thing is, is that in
  • 18:12 so many places you have self-deprecating Jews who
  • 18:16 instead of standing up against this hate are joining the team
  • 18:19 of that hate and spewing it out.
  • 18:22 Caleb: We have good news.
  • 18:24 In a prophetic word that God gave through the prophet Ezekiel
  • 18:27 in chapter 36, he gives a word specifically to the mountains of
  • 18:31 Israel, that territory of Judea and Samaria.
  • 18:34 God promises that the arrogant threats of the nations round
  • 18:37 about them will not stand any longer.
  • 18:40 In Ezekiel 36:15, it says, "No longer will I make you hear the
  • 18:45 taunts of the nations and no longer will you suffer the scorn
  • 18:49 of the peoples or cause your nation to fall, declares the
  • 18:53 Sovereign Lord."
  • 18:54 Joshua: This is why it is so vitally important that we as
  • 18:58 true Christ followers stand up and show the difference, show
  • 19:02 that we are not the fake Christians of yesterday who
  • 19:05 massacred the Jewish people, who never truly accepted Yeshua as
  • 19:09 their Lord and Savior.
  • 19:10 Right now, these kibbutz communities, these secular ones,
  • 19:14 they are hurting so badly.
  • 19:15 They are hurting because of all the atrocities that have most
  • 19:18 recently happened, and it is our opportunity to take this moment
  • 19:22 in time to make a difference and to show them the love of Yeshua,
  • 19:25 the only love in history that can heal their hearts and change
  • 19:29 their destiny.
  • 19:30 Caleb: That's why God originally spoke to us to do this series,
  • 19:33 and that is our hope, that by telling these stories, by
  • 19:37 showing you all the nonprofits, all the ministries throughout
  • 19:41 the series, that once you know where to give, once you know
  • 19:43 where the need is, you will meet that need as the Holy Spirit
  • 19:47 speaks to you, and not just meet that need physically, but
  • 19:50 also spiritually.
  • 19:52 We are to pray for the captives to be set free, for the
  • 19:56 brokenhearted to be healed, for recovery of sight to the blind,
  • 20:00 and for the hearts of stone to be made hearts of flesh.
  • 20:04 This is your duty and mine, to stand up for the people of
  • 20:08 Israel and show them who real Christ followers, who real
  • 20:12 Messiah followers really are.
  • 20:14 We are people of The Book as well, and we love the
  • 20:17 Lord Jesus, and by sharing that love with them, I believe it
  • 20:21 will change their heart and bring that healing that they
  • 20:24 so desperately need.
  • 20:27 Joshua: We're here today at the site of the Nova massacre.
  • 20:31 You've been hearing explosions throughout the entire
  • 20:33 teaching today.
  • 20:34 We're being told right now that the loud explosions are the Iron
  • 20:38 Dome firing back at the missiles that are shooting from Gaza
  • 20:41 towards us.
  • 20:43 So, the noises are good, they're keeping us safe as they're
  • 20:45 supposed to, but when I look around at all these photos of
  • 20:48 all the lives taken, I can't help but seeing so many
  • 20:50 similarities, how that face could so easily be my face on
  • 20:55 any one of these posters.
  • 20:56 It could be your face.
  • 20:58 How did they end up here?
  • 20:59 How did they end up with their lives taken?
  • 21:02 All from what?
  • 21:04 One of the biggest lies that the enemy creates, which is hate,
  • 21:07 this concept that he's indoctrinated people with that
  • 21:10 because of this man's beliefs right here or how he was born,
  • 21:13 his life has no value.
  • 21:15 In fact, his life is against you and so it deserves to be taken.
  • 21:19 That's a lie of the enemy.
  • 21:21 Satan has become a master of the smokescreen and misdirection,
  • 21:25 but I've said for many years that his greatest strategy in
  • 21:28 life is that he has created the idea that he does not
  • 21:31 even exist.
  • 21:32 Our primary adversary, most people don't even believe in.
  • 21:37 He uses counterfeit smokescreens to push his agendas throughout
  • 21:41 history, all the while laughing as we harm and murder
  • 21:45 each other.
  • 21:46 Today I think it's so incredibly important to remember the
  • 21:50 sanctity of life, the immense power and awe-inspiring beauty
  • 21:58 that went into the creation of it, how the Creator of the
  • 22:01 universe says that before he even made this planet that we're
  • 22:04 on, that he meticulously crafted each and every single life and
  • 22:07 the plans that he has for them.
  • 22:09 That may escape you today, but when you can see how fast a life
  • 22:13 can be taken, you can see the hate that's happening today, the
  • 22:18 number one necessity that should be in your heart is sharing the
  • 22:22 love of Yeshua with everyone who might possibly not have it.
  • 22:27 Those in these kibbutzes here are suffering right now.
  • 22:30 They're facing so much sorrow and loss from October 7th, and
  • 22:34 there's people all over this world that are.
  • 22:36 You were created for one purpose and one purpose only, and that
  • 22:38 is to reflect the love of the Father, the love of Yeshua, and
  • 22:42 today is your opportunity to stop wasting time, to stop
  • 22:45 making excuses, to stop in any way pushing off the
  • 22:48 responsibility on somebody other than yourself.
  • 22:51 Today may be a life like this kid right here, or any of the
  • 22:54 other 363 individuals who are shown on the signs.
  • 22:57 Today may be the day that they take their last breath, that the
  • 23:01 explosions we hearoday are the last time that they will be on
  • 23:04 this planet, just like that one.
  • 23:07 You don't have any second to lose.
  • 23:09 Go and share the love with the people that God has put
  • 23:12 intentionally around you today.
  • 23:24 Amit Musaei: What I made sense of is that the vehicle that I
  • 23:27 saw destroyed and then the shooting towards us came from
  • 23:30 two different pickup trucks, one was in front of me, one was
  • 23:33 behind me, and I was just locked beeen them without knowing.
  • 23:37 They were already on the roads, and luckily enough for me, they
  • 23:43 were the commander units, the first wave of terrorists out
  • 23:46 of three.
  • 23:47 The second wave were just armed people that came to desecrate,
  • 23:51 kill, take hostages, the third wave were unarmed people that
  • 23:56 came to do the same thing.
  • 23:57 But the first wave came for taking down our security, our
  • 24:01 air balloons, cameras, defense, army bases, so they were aiming
  • 24:05 for the army base or possibly the police station in Ofakim.
  • 24:09 And this is why they have passed us, because we were not a target
  • 24:12 for them, they came for a specific target.
  • 24:16 Five minutes after we left the territory, the first terrorists
  • 24:20 stopped here.
  • 24:21 Terrorists passed the location, but once the second wave of
  • 24:24 terrorists who came to kill, rape, desecrate, and take
  • 24:29 hostages, that was their mission.
  • 24:31 They saw a line of vehicles on the road, they shoot an RPG on
  • 24:35 the first vehicle they saw, they created a roadblock, and now
  • 24:38 they start to shoot RPGs to this line of vehicles that
  • 24:42 I left behind.
  • 24:43 The main massacre was on that traffic jam.
  • 24:47 That was 7:05, I left at 7.
  • 24:50 Caleb: That's the one that you could have been stuck behind
  • 24:53 but you drove around.
  • 24:54 And you would have been stuck there.
  • 24:55 Amit: Moreover, it took them almost an hour to make the 0.4
  • 25:00 miles distance to the festival's arena.
  • 25:04 Some people were still here, so when the terrorists arrived and
  • 25:08 people realized, oh, those booming sounds are not rockets,
  • 25:12 they are shootings and RPGs, they started to hide, but where?
  • 25:17 Inside the bars, refrigerators, in the porta-potties which were
  • 25:22 so close to my tent, which means the terrorists shot towards
  • 25:25 our tent.
  • 25:27 As they shot towards every possible hiding place and they
  • 25:30 executed everybody they saw, they chased people that were
  • 25:33 running in the fields here.
  • 25:35 The total number of casualties was 364.
  • 25:38 Caleb: This was an act of brutality, of terrorism, and of
  • 25:42 ethnic genocide.
  • 25:44 Amit: It's derived from anti-Semitism, and this is what
  • 25:46 we have to remember.
  • 25:47 The hatred towards the Jews, specifically made by Muslims,
  • 25:53 their aspiration is to create an Islamic world and this terror
  • 25:57 does not stop here and this is something that you as Americans
  • 25:59 need to remember, specifically taking very seriously what's
  • 26:03 happening on your campuses right now.
  • 26:05 This is something that looks like the beginning of the end.
  • 26:12 Caleb: Amit and his friends and their community know firsthand
  • 26:15 the results of anti-Semitism.
  • 26:17 His best friend's children, Josh, Goshen, and Gilly, these
  • 26:20 kids are now without parents for the rest of their lives.
  • 26:23 Anti-Semitism is a term that people throw around a lot these
  • 26:26 days, but not many know the origin or the meaning.
  • 26:29 You see, a Semite is a member of a people group who speak
  • 26:32 a Semitic language, such as Hebrew, Arabic, or Aramaic.
  • 26:35 You know, this term was originated back in the 19th
  • 26:38 century, which actually included groups like Arabs, Acadians,
  • 26:41 Canaanites, Hebrews, and Armenians, and the Greek word
  • 26:44 "sem" merely refers to Shem and his descendants, Shem, the son
  • 26:48 of Noah.
  • 26:50 But today, it entirely refers to the Jewish people as we see
  • 26:53 Muslims show anti-Semitism or te to the Jewish people, even
  • 26:57 though they are Semites.
  • 26:58 Joshua: Psalm 23, verse 4 says, "Yea, though I walk through the
  • 27:02 valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You
  • 27:06 are with me.
  • 27:07 Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
  • 27:10 Thank you, thank you for your prayers for Israel and thank you
  • 27:13 for your prayers for the Jewish people.
  • 27:14 Thank you for your prayers for us.
  • 27:16 We had to get out of that country as well because of what
  • 27:19 had happened.
  • 27:20 Thank you so much for your financial support.
  • 27:22 We know that in these times and these hours it is so important
  • 27:25 for us to be connected to the right people, connected in
  • 27:29 unity, believing for the right things.
  • 27:31 Our ministry here has more than just this television show,
  • 27:35 we encourage you to check our social media channels where we
  • 27:37 have things like monthly newsletters, content that we
  • 27:40 don't have time to show on the television show, but it's so
  • 27:42 important to understand everything that's happening
  • 27:44 today and what our role is as believers.
  • 27:49 Caleb: That's right, guys, so please watch us next week,
  • 27:50 and as you go, remember to pray, sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim.
  • 27:54 Joshua: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
  • 27:57 Caleb: This is "Rebuilding the Ruined Cities," what could be a
  • 27:59 better visual than Independence Hall under construction?
  • 28:02 This was where Israel was declared a state.
  • 28:06 Joshua: The trigger point for Israel to make Aliyah, returning
  • 28:09 to where they belong.
  • 28:11 Caleb: This is Tel Aviv, they're thriving.
  • 28:12 God's hand of blessing is upon them.
  • 28:15 Joshua: Any time you think of a Middle Eastern setting of going
  • 28:17 shopping, you picture this in Israel, vegetables, fruits,
  • 28:20 breads, this is a visceral reminder that God has
  • 28:23 blessed this land.
  • 28:24 It's a miracle and it's delicious.
