00:57 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
00:58 I'M GLAD YOU JOINED US FOR ANOTHER OF OUR
01:00 TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN'S PROGRAMS.
01:03 TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO MOUNT TABOR
01:05 WHICH IS VERY FAMOUS AS THE MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION
01:08 ALTHOUGH SOME DISAGREE WITH THAT.
01:09 IN ANY CASE, IT IS QUITE A SITE OF PROPHECY.
01:13 IN THE PAST AND OF COURSE,
01:15 BEING IN THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON
01:16 IT HAS FUTURE PROPHECY TO HAPPEN.
01:20 A 3500 YEAR CAREER OF PROPHECY FULFILLMENTS
01:24 UP TO THE START OF THE THOUSAND YEAR KINGDOM.
01:27 NOW, THE BIBLE IS STILL BEING FULFILLED ALL OF THE TIME.
01:29 DAVID DOLAN WILL BE TALKING WITH US, TOO,
01:31 TALKING ABOUT THE PROPHECY FULFILLMENT
01:33 HAVING TO DO WITH GOD RESTORING HIS PEOPLE BACK TO THE LAND.
01:37 WE'LL TALK WITH SOME IMMIGRANTS ON THIS PROGRAM.
01:39 AND NOW, TO MOUNT TABOR.
01:41 [ music playing ]
01:52 OUR LOCATION TODAY IS THE FAMOUS MOUNT TABOR
01:55 WHICH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON.
01:58 THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITY HERE.
02:00 AIRPLANES AND PEOPLE AND TRAFFIC COMING ALL DAY LONG.
02:03 AS I WALKED DOWN TO DO THIS FILM,
02:05 I WAS GREETED BY GERMAN PILGRIMS WHO SHOOK MY HAND
02:08 AND TOOK ME FOR A PRIEST OF SOME KIND.
02:12 IT WOULDN'T BE UNUSUAL TO SEE UP HERE.
02:14 THERE IS A MONASTERY AND SO ON, ON MOUNT TABOR.
02:17 AND IT FIGURES IN THE STORY OF ISRAEL ON MANY PERIODS.
02:21 WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO WHEN DEBORAH, THE PROPHETESS
02:25 WAS THE JUDGE OF ISRAEL AND THE TRANSFIGURATION
02:29 WAS ON THIS MOUNTAIN ALTHOUGH SOME ARGUE THE MOUNTAIN
02:33 IN THE NORTH, MOUNT HERMAN
02:34 BUT ANYWAY, IT WAS ON ONE OF THESE HIGH MOUNTAINS IN GALILEE.
02:38 AND OF COURSE, THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON
02:41 WHICH YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME WILL BE THE SITE
02:44 OF THAT LAST GREAT BATTLE.
02:47 BACK IN THE TIME OF DEBORAH,
02:49 WE -- WE SEE THE PRINCIPLE BIBLICAL PROPHECY WORKED OUT.
02:53 THERE ARE PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE THAT ARE VERY OLD
02:56 AND WERE FULFILLED IN ANCIENT TIMES.
02:58 THE BIBLICAL RECORD SHOWS IT.
03:00 FIRST, THE PROPHECY IS GIVEN AND THEN A BATTLE,
03:03 AS IN THIS CASE AND THEN THE RESULT.
03:06 DEBORAH ADVISED HER
03:08 GENERAL BARAK TO -- SHE SAID:
03:17 HE HAD INDEED SAID THAT THROUGH HER.
03:27 THEY MET THE CANAANITES UNDER THE GENERAL SICERA (PHONETIC).
03:30 SICERA WAS TO MET HIS END ACCORDING TO ANOTHER PROPHECY
03:33 OF DEBORAH WHEN JAEL DROVE A TENT PEG THROUGH HIS HEAD.
03:37 SHE SAID HE WOULD DIE AT A WOMAN'S HANDS AND SO HE DID.
03:42 WHEN WE HAVE A PROPHECY FULFILLED
03:44 IT REMINDS US THAT THE BIBLE IS STILL
03:46 BATTING A THOUSAND.
03:48 ALL PROPHECY WILL BE FULFILLED AND NOT MUCH OF IT
03:53 IS FUTURE TO US TODAY.
03:55 I MEAN, WE CAN SEE PROPHECIES COME AND ABOUT SAY,
03:58 THE LAND OF ISRAEL THAT THE PEOPLE WOULD POSSESS IT
04:01 IF THEY WERE OBEDIENT, IF THEY WERE DISOBEDIENT
04:03 THEY WOULD LOSE POSSESSION BUT ULTIMATELY THEY WOULD BE
04:05 RESTORED TO THE LAND.
04:07 WE ARE, TODAY, OF COURSE, SEEING THE RESTORATION.
04:10 PROPHECY FALLS IN THREE PARTS.
04:18 SO THESE ARE THE THINGS WE SHOULD KNOW.
04:20 AND FIRST AND IMPORTANCE IS THE LAND.
04:22 THAT'S AN EASY ONE TO SEE.
04:24 ISRAEL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN TODAY'S BIBLE STUDY
04:29 AND IN CHRISTENDOM.
04:30 THIS IS THE PLACE WE ARE GOING FOR A THOUSAND YEAR KINGDOM
04:34 UNDER THE KING OF THE JEWS WHO WILL SIT ON THE THRONE OF DAVID.
04:37 IF WE MAKE A CHURCH SOMEWHERE ELSE
04:39 IN THE WESTERN WORLD AND WE BOAST AGAINST
04:41 THE BRANCHES AND ISRAEL IS NO LONGER OF IMPORTANCE TO US,
04:45 WE ARE THE ENTIRE FULFILLMENT OF GOD'S WAY,
04:48 THE CHURCH HAS BECOME ISRAEL, THIS SORT OF PHILOSOPHY
04:51 WE JUST GO FURTHER AND FURTHER FROM SCRIPTURE
04:53 AND ULTIMATELY, THAT WAY LIES MADNESS.
04:56 WE JUST LOSE TRACK OF WHAT WE ARE DOING.
04:58 ISRAEL @S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
05:00 AND SOME SEMINARIES TAKING UP SOMETHING CALLED
05:04 THE PROGRESSIVE DISPENSATIONALISM.
05:06 IT SIMPLY MUDDLES THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN
05:08 THE CHURCH AND ISRAEL.
05:10 AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE TOURS TO ISRAEL
05:12 BECAUSE SO MANY BELIEVERS WANT TO SEE THE LAND OF THE KINGDOM.
05:16 THEY NO LONGER REALLY SEEM TO GIVE IT ITS POSITION
05:20 OF IMPORTANCE THAT IT HAD.
05:22 THE UNITED NATIONS CONSIDERS ISRAEL JUST SOME
05:25 POLITICAL ENTITY OF COURSE.
05:27 AMERICAN ADMINISTRATIONS COME AND GO,
05:29 WHATEVER SEEMS BEST TO THEM.
05:31 THEY WERE CURSED IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION
05:33 AND SO AMERICA HAS BEEN CURSED BACK AND THE PRESIDENT DEPOSED.
05:37 AND SO ON.
05:38 GOD HAS INSTANTLY FULFILLED HIS PROPHECY,
05:46 IF THE CHURCH CURSES ISRAEL THEN THE CHURCH WILL SUFFER.
05:48 GOD WILL CURSE THE CHURCH.
05:50 AND IT CAN BE SEEN IN MANY DENOMINATIONAL CHURCHES.
05:53 SADLY, AMERICAN DENOMINATIONS COME UNDER GROUPS THAT THE
05:57 ISRAELIS SIMPLY REFER TO AS ANTI-SEMITIC,
06:00 THAT IS A CHURCH DENOMINATION WILL BE LISTED ALONG WITH SOME
06:04 POLITICAL MOVEMENT AS SIMPLY AN ANTI-SEMITIC UNIT
06:07 TO THE ISRAELI THINKING.
06:10 WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
06:13 THE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MESSIAH
06:15 MAKE IT DEFINITIVE EXACTLY WHO HE IS SO THAT WE DON'T
06:18 WORSHIP THE WRONG MESSIAH.
06:20 PEOPLE ONCE WORSHIPED FUHRER FROM GERMANY.
06:23 PEOPLE HAVE WORSHIPED FALSE MESSIAH FROM SOUTH KOREA.
06:28 MORE RECENTLY FROM WACO.
06:32 THAT CAN'T HAPPEN IF WE READ THE PROPHECIES.
06:34 NONE OF THEM FULFILLED THE EXACT PROPHECIES OF SCRIPTURE.
06:38 THE MESSIAH, THE MESSIANIC PROPHECY
06:40 BEGINS IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
06:50 HE'S TALKING TO THE SERPENT.
06:58 THE MESSIAH WOULD DEAL A MORTAL BLOW,
06:59 A HEAD WOUND TO THE SERPENT, TO THE DEVIL AND THAT THE
07:04 SERPENT WOULD BE ABLE TO DEAL A MINOR WOUND OR WOUND OF THE
07:07 HEEL TO THE MESSIAH.
07:09 WE SEE THAT WORKED OUT IN THE GOSPEL.
07:11 AND THE MESSIANIC IDENTITY CONTINUES THROUGH:
07:16 SHEM, HAM AND JAPETH ON TO ABRAHAM WHO IS CHOSEN
07:20 OF GOD TO BEGIN THE LONG STORY OF REDEMPTION OF LOST SOULS
07:24 THROUGH HIS SONS ISAAC, JACOB.
07:27 JUDAH -- MOST PARTICULARLY THE SCEPTER WILL NOT DEPART
07:29 FROM JUDAH.
07:30 DOWN THROUGH KING DAVID,
07:32 OF HIS LINE
07:33 WOULD COME THE MESSIAH.
07:35 YOU COULD NOT MAKE
07:36 A MISTAKE AND WORSHIP A GERMAN,
07:37 A KOREAN OR A TEXAN IF YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT MUCH PROPHECY.
07:45 AND FINALLY HIS BIRTHPLACE IS GIVEN.
07:46 IT'S BETHLEHEM.
07:48 THE MESSIAH CANNOT BE
07:49 THE RABBI OF BROOKLYN
07:50 BECAUSE HE WAS NOT
07:51 BORN IN BETHLEHEM.
07:52 VERY SIMPLE OR ELSE WE'LL
07:53 TEAR IT OUT
07:54 FROM THE SCRIPTURES.
07:55 AND THE TIME IS GIVEN
07:57 IN DANIEL 9.
07:58 IT WAS BEFORE
07:59 THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.
08:03 NOTHING COULD BE MORE CLEAR.
08:04 AND SO WE HAVE THE
08:06 CHARACTERISTICS OF WHO HE IS.
08:07 FURTHERMORE WE HAVE THE STORIES OF HIS MISSION AND HIS DEATH.
08:11 ISAIAH 53 TALKS ABOUT THAT HE CAME TO DIE.
08:42 HE SHALL PROLONG HIS DAYS DESPITE THAT HE WILL DIE
08:45 AND HIS GRAVE BE MADE WITH THE RICH IT SAYS,
08:47 HE WILL STILL PROLONG HIS DAYS.
08:49 SO EVEN THE RESURRECTION IS PREDICTED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
08:52 SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A DEATH AND RESURRECTION
08:55 FOR A VALID MESSIAH.
08:57 THE RABBIS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSAGE.
09:00 IT'S DIFFICULT.
09:01 IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN CHRIST, IT IS VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND
09:05 PROPHECY LIKE THIS.
09:06 THAT IS, IF YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN THE SPACE TO READ THE GOSPEL,
09:11 IF YOU HAVEN'T STUDIED HOW HE FULFILLED THESE PROPHECIES,
09:14 THEY ARE VERY HARD TO APPLY ELSEWHERE.
09:16 SOME SAY IT IS ABOUT THE LAND,
09:18 IT IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
09:20 OF COURSE, IT SAYS, "HE" THROUGHOUT THE CHAPTER
09:22 THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
09:24 HIS RESURRECTION IS ALSO GIVEN IN PSALM 16:10.
09:37 THINE HOLY ONE IN DAVID'S WORDS.
09:39 CHRIST, WHO WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE
09:41 BEFORE THE BODY DECAYED.
09:42 HE DID NOT SEE CORRUPTION.
09:43 PETER USED THIS ARGUMENT IN ACTS 2 AT PENTECOST.
09:48 SO THE TWO MAJOR FIELDS OF PROPHECY,
09:53 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SO FAR ARE APPARENT TO US FROM SCRIPTURE.
09:57 THE LAND WE CAN SEE, THE MESSIAH WE CAN SEE
10:01 FROM THE EVIDENCE.
10:02 THE END IS SOMETHING ELSE AGAIN
10:04 WE CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT HERE YET.
10:06 BUT ITS CHARACTERISTICS ARE ALL AROUND US SO
10:09 THAT WE CAN ANTICIPATE ITS COMING.
10:12 AS WE STAND HERE AGAIN ON THE MOUNT TABOR,
10:14 THE TERRIFIC AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC,
10:16 PILGRIMS COMING BACK AND FORTH ALL DAY
10:18 TO COME TO THE PLACE MOST PARTICULARLY
10:21 WHERE THE TRANSFIGURATION REPUTEDLY HAPPENED.
10:24 RIGHT UP ABOVE ME HERE ON THE SUMMIT,
10:27 THE LORD APPEARED WITH MOSES AND ELIJAH IN THAT GREAT SCENE
10:30 TOLD OF HIM IN MATTHEW 17.
10:32 OR SO THIS MOUNTAIN IS TRADITIONALLY THOUGHT
10:34 TO BE THE SITE.
10:36 SOME SAY MOUNT HERMAN IN THE NORTH.
10:37 BUT IN ANY CASE, WE'LL COME BACK AND DISCUSS
10:41 THOSE IMPORTANT PROPHECIES ABOUT THE END.
10:44 [ music playing ]
10:59 [ music playing ]
11:09 COME WITH ZOLA AND SEE THE LAND OF ABRAHAM,
11:12 ISAAC AND JACOB.
11:13 EXPERIENCE THE HOLY LAND.
11:16 FOR TOUR INFORMATION WRITE:
11:30 WELL, I'M COMING DOWN NOW FROM MOUNT TABOR
11:33 THROUGH THE FOOTHILLS
11:34 AND WALKING TOWARD THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON.
11:37 AND OF COURSE, THAT BRINGS TO MIND THE END.
11:39 THIS WORD "ARMAGEDDON" IS VERY POPULAR.
11:42 YOU SEE IT IN THE NEWSPAPERS, THE MAGAZINES, OH, GOSH,
11:44 EVERY TIME THERE IS A STRUGGLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
11:47 I REMEMBER AT THE BEGINNING OF DESERT STORM THEY CALLED
11:51 DALLAS SEMINARY TO ASK IF THIS IS ARMAGEDDON?
11:57 THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ARMAGEDDON.
11:58 NOT A CHANCE.
11:59 THESE THINGS MEAN SOMETHING.
12:01 THESE ARE EXACT TERMS IN SCRIPTURE
12:03 AND THEY FOLLOW CERTAIN EVENTS AND SO ON.
12:05 EVERY SO OFTEN I LIKE TO RUN OVER THE SCHEDULE
12:08 OF THE END TIME EVENTS.
12:11 THE FIRST, OF COURSE, IS THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH
12:14 AND JUST RUN THEM THROUGH.
12:16 THEY ARE VERY CLEAR IN SCRIPTURE.
12:18 I DON'T THINK MUCH OF THIS IS ARGUABLE.
12:21 MAY BE A DIFFERENT STAND ON WHAT OCCURS,
12:24 WHEN BEFORE WHAT OR AFTER AND SO ON IN SOME SCHOOLS OF THINKING,
12:27 BUT THE EVENTS THEMSELVES ARE VERY CLEAR.
12:30 TO BEGIN WITH THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH
12:32 IT HAS NO PROPHECY THAT COMES BEFORE IT.
12:34 I LIKE THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE BECAUSE THE RAPTURE
12:37 IS A SURPRISE.
12:39 AND I CAN'T HAVE A SURPRISE IF I PUT
12:40 IT AFTER SOMETHING NOTICEABLE.
12:42 IF THE RAPTURE WERE AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION
12:45 THEN OF COURSE, I WOULD SEE A SERIES OF EVENTS
12:47 THAT I COULD JUDGE BY THE ANTICHRIST,
12:49 SIGNING A CONTRACT WITH ISRAEL, TO START THE THING,
12:52 A COVENANT BETWEEN THEM.
12:54 THE BLASPHEMY AS HE DOUBLE CROSSES THEM AT THE MIDPOINT,
12:59 THE MOBILIZATION FOR ARMAGEDDON.
13:01 ALL OF THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLY OBVIOUS
13:02 AND I COULD BE CHECKING OFF THE DAYS ON A CALENDAR
13:04 AND IN EFFECT BE PACKED TO GO FOR THE RAPTURE
13:07 AND THAT DOESN'T WORK.
13:09 THE LORD CHARACTERIZED IT AS SO SURPRISING HE USED
13:12 THE EXPRESSIONS: "IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE"
13:14 OR LIKE "LIGHTNING ACROSS THE SKY."
13:16 THESE THINGS ARE NOT PREDICTABLE.
13:19 PAUL WAS WAITING FOR IT.
13:20 WE'RE WAITING FOR IT.
13:22 IT COULD BE IMMINENT BEFORE WE FINISH MAKING
13:23 THIS PROGRAM OR BEFORE YOU FINISH WATCHING IT.
13:26 THAT'S FIRST.
13:28 AND THEN TO HEAVEN, TO FOLLOW FIRST THE LINE
13:30 OF THE BELIEVERS, WE WOULD HAVE
13:32 THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST IN WHICH OUR WORKS ARE JUDGED.
13:35 NOT OUR SINS BUT WHAT WE DID WITH THE GIFTS WE HAVE.
13:45 AND THERE LEARN HOW WELL WE DID
13:47 WITH WHAT WE WERE GIVEN TO DO.
13:49 WE ARE CHARACTERIZED AS AN ACTIVE GROUP OF BELIEVERS.
13:53 NOT ON PEOPLE WHO JUST SIT BACK AND WAIT ON THEIR --
13:57 TO COLLECT THEIR SALVATION BUT RATHER SOLDIERS IN AN ARMY,
14:01 HARVESTERS IN THE FIELD.
14:03 PEOPLE WITH A JOB TO DO.
14:04 WE WAR AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS.
14:06 WELL, IN AN ARMY EVERYBODY HAS A SPECIFIC JOB
14:10 THERE IS DIFFERENT TALENTS.
14:11 WE HAVE DIFFERENT GIFTS, THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT.
14:15 BUT IN ANY CASE, HOWEVER, WE ARE GIFTED,
14:17 IF WE USE THOSE GIFTS IN THE SERVICE OF THE LORD
14:20 HE IS WATCHING THAT AND HE GIVES US REWARDS.
14:22 IF WE FAIL TO DO THAT, WE FAIL TO GET THE REWARDS
14:27 AND THEY ARE CHARACTERIZED IN I CORINTHIANS 3:11-15.
14:30 SOME WORKS ARE OF WOOD, HAY AND STUBBLE, SOME OF GOLD,
14:33 SILVER AND PRECIOUS STONES AND HE TRIES
14:35 THE WORKS AS IF BY FIRE.
14:37 WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE IN OTHER CONTEXTS.
14:39 BUT AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT END TIMES,
14:41 THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.
14:43 NOT ENOUGH TAUGHT IN THE CHURCHES I THINK BECAUSE WE HAVE
14:46 AN EMPHASIS INSTEAD OF AVOIDING SIN, AVOIDING SIN IS OBVIOUS AND
14:52 APPARENT AND NECESSARY, BUT DOING OUR WORKS
14:56 IS WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO DO.
14:58 SIN AFTER ALL IS FORGIVEN.
15:00 THE KINGDOM DEPENDS ON OUR WORKS.
15:02 WHEN WE HAVE FINISHED THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST,
15:05 WE WILL BE PERFECT.
15:07 OUR SINS WERE FORGIVEN AT THE CROSS.
15:08 OUR WORKS STERILIZED AWAY IN THE JUDGMENT SEAT.
15:11 TRIED AS IF BY FIRE, IT SAYS.
15:14 AND THEN WE SHALL
15:15 THEN BE CONDITIONED
15:16 TO MARRY THE LORD.
15:26 SO WE GO TO OUR WEDDING.
15:32 AND THAT WEDDING, THAT'S A POINT
15:34 OF SOME CONTENTION WHETHER IT IS HELD IN HEAVEN
15:37 OR COME DOWN TO EARTH AND HAVE IT HERE.
15:38 BUT ANYWAY WE DO IT AFTER THE JUDGMENT SEAT
15:41 AND DURING THE TIME THAT THE TRIBULATION
15:45 IS GOING BY ON EARTH OR JUST AFTER IT.
15:48 BUT TO GET BACK TO THE CONDITIONS ON EARTH,
15:51 THE TRIBULATION PERIOD IS GOING
15:52 BY AND IT'S SEVEN YEARS LONG.
15:54 THE GREAT TRIBULATION
15:55 IS THE LATTER HALF
15:56 AND THAT IS THE
15:58 MOBILIZATION FROM ARMAGEDDON.
16:00 WE MENTIONED THE ANTICHRIST
16:02 BLASPHEMY FROM THE TEMPLE.
16:05 THE ISRAELITES WILL BOLT AS HE DOUBLE CROSSES THEM,
16:08 IF THEY TAKE THE ADVICE OF JESUS WHO SAID FLEE
16:10 INTO THE HILLS OF JUDEA WHEN YOU SEE THAT ABOMINATION
16:13 OF DESOLATION STAND IN THE HOLY PLACE.
16:15 MATTHEW 24:15-16.
16:19 AND ARMAGEDDON WILL START TO COME ON.
16:22 IT TAKES THREE AND HALF YEARS.
16:24 IT TAKES THE SECOND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION TO MOBILIZE
16:27 A BATTLE WITH A WORLD OF ARMIES LIKE THIS.
16:30 THE KING OF THE EAST BRINGS A
16:32 TWO HUNDRED MILLION MAN ARMY.
16:34 IMAGINE WHEN JOHN WROTE
16:35 THAT NUMBER HE MUST HAVE
16:38 THOUGHT DID I HEAR RIGHT?
16:39 BECAUSE A LARGE CITY HAD 50,000 PEOPLE.
16:43 200 MILLION MEN.
16:45 AND YET, THERE IS A NATION IN THE EAST THAT CAN FILL
16:47 THAT KIND OF ARMY TODAY AND SO MANY SAY THAT IS CHINA.
16:50 IF IT IS LITERALLY CHINA OR DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS
16:53 OF COUNTRIES OF THE EAST WHICH ARE ALL POPULOUS
16:58 AND COULD SUPPLY MANY SOLDIERS.
17:00 BUT IN ANY CASE THEY MARCH.
17:02 IT APPEARS TO BE A FIGHT WITH THE ANTICHRIST
17:03 AND HIS WESTERN COALITION WITH THE KINGS OF THE
17:07 NORTH AND SOUTH JOINING IN TO TAKE A SPOIL.
17:10 IT IS A LITTLE HARD TO SAY WHO FIGHTS WITH WHO ABOUT WHAT.
17:13 BUT WE CHARACTERIZE IT BEFORE AS AN ATTACK FROM THE EAST.
17:16 PERHAPS THAT YELLOW PERIL THAT WESTERN MEN HAS ALWAYS
17:20 TALKED ABOUT EVENTUALLY THEY WILL COME.
17:23 THEY COME WITH THE ANTICHRIST
17:24 AND HE IS IN JERUSALEM I SUPPOSE BECAUSE THE BATTLE
17:29 IS AT ARMAGEDDON AND NOT IN EUROPE.
17:32 HE HAS TAKEN OVER IN THE TEMPLE,
17:34 APPARENTLY STILL REIGNS IN THE TEMPLE.
17:36 CALLS ISRAEL HIS -- THE HEAD OF HIS KINGDOM
17:40 AND A PERFECT COUNTERFEITER OF WHAT THE LORD REALLY WILL DO.
17:43 AND SO THEY MARCH ON ISRAEL.
17:45 AND THE PERFECT STAGING AREA WHEN YOU BRING IN AN ENORMOUS
17:48 AREA INTO THIS SMALL COUNTRY IS THIS FERTILE VALLEY
17:52 40 MILES ACROSS, VERY FLAT CALLED ARMAGEDDON.
17:56 HERE YOU CAN PUT UP SOLDIERS.
17:57 THEY CAN HAVE WATER AND FOOD AND SO ON.
17:59 AND SO THE ASSAULT ON JERUSALEM.
18:02 YOU CAN EASILY READ ABOUT THAT.
18:03 IT IS CERTAINLY
18:04 A HORRIBLE BATTLE.
18:06 BLOOD UP TO THE HORSE'S
18:07 BRIDLES IT SAYS IN REVELATION.
18:09 AND JERUSALEM IS ALMOST DESTROYED
18:11 BUT THE LORD COMES AND STOPS IT.
18:13 IT SAYS IF I HAD NOT COME THEN,
18:14 THERE WOULD BE NO FLESH SAVED.
18:16 HE SETS UP HIS THRONE
18:18 AND HOLDS HIS JUDGMENT OF THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS
18:20 BEING SURE TO TAKE IN THOSE WHO DEMONSTRATED THEIR FAITH
18:23 DURING THE TRIBULATION BY THEIR KINDNESS TO THE 144,000,
18:27 THE BRETHREN OF THE LORD, AS HE SAID IN MATTHEW 25:40
18:30 "INASMUCH AS YOU'VE DONE IT UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
18:32 "MY BRETHREN, YOU'VE DONE IT UNTO ME."
18:35 ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GOD BLESSING THOSE WHO BLESS ISRAEL,
18:38 CURSING THOSE WHO CURSE ISRAEL.
18:40 HE WILL NOT ADMIT THE GOATS WHO DID NOT SHOW THAT FAITH
18:44 AND DID NOT TREAT HIS BREdHREN IN THAT MANNER.
18:47 FINALLY, A THOUSAND YEAR KINGDOM.
18:49 WE'LL HAVE SOME PEACE ON EARTH.
18:50 THAT IS THE TIME THE LION
18:51 SHALL LIE DOWN WITH THE LAMB
18:53 AND MEN SHALL NOT LEARN WAR
18:54 ANYMORE IN HIS HOLY MOUNTAIN.
18:56 AND WE CAN COMPLETE THE SCRIPTURE THAT
18:58 WE'VE WRITTEN ON THE UNITED NATIONS.
19:10 AND SO WE BEGIN AFTER THE GREAT,
19:12 WHITE THRONE OF JUDGMENT, WITH THE INCREDIBLE PERIOD
19:15 CALLED ETERNITY, REVELATION 21,
19:18 A NEW HEAVEN, A NEW EARTH, A NEW JERUSALEM.
19:23 THAT IS THE LAST OF PROPHECY AND THEN IT GOES ON ETERNALLY.
19:28 IT IS WONDERFUL TO STAND AT MOUNT TABOR
19:29 WHERE PROPHECY WAS FULFILLED SO VERY LONG AGO UNDER
19:32 THE JUDGE DEBORAH MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
19:36 AND LOOK AHEAD, PAST OUR OWN TIME
19:39 AND ANOTHER THOUSAND YEAR KINGDOM
19:41 TO AN ETERNITY THAT IS COMING.
19:43 THIS IS A PERFECT PLACE TO SAY, "AMEN, COME LORD JESUS."
19:51 AND AS WE WELCOME THE KINGDOM WE CAN DO SO KNOWING FULL WELL
19:55 THAT PROPHECY IS BEING FULFILLED.
19:57 OUR GOOD FRIEND, DAVID DOLAN,
19:59 JOINS US NOW WITH A JOURNALIST'S VIEW OF PROPHECY.
20:02 PROPHECY WRITTEN 2700 YEARS AGO AND BEING FULFILLED TODAY.
20:07 JUST AS ZOLA'S LOCATION MOUNT TABOR
20:09 SPOKE OF FULFILLED PROPHECY SO DOES MY LOCATION
20:12 THE CANADA HOUSE ABSORPTION CENTRE IN JERUSALEM.
20:16 BIBLICAL PROPHECY IS NOT JUST A THING OF THE PAST
20:18 OR CONCERNING EVENTS YET TO BE FULFILLED IN THE FUTURE.
20:22 THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL, ESTABLISHED IN THIS CENTURY
20:24 ON THE HEELS OF THE HOLOCAUST IS ITSELF
20:27 A FULFILLMENT OF BIBLICAL PROPHECY.
20:29 GOD FORETOLD THROUGH MANY PROPHETS LIKE ISAIAH,
20:32 JEREMIAH AND EZEKIEL THAT HE WOULD REGATHER
20:34 THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO THEIR ANCIENT MIDEAST
20:36 HOME LAND IN THE LAST DAYS JUST BEFORE THE FINAL REVELATION
20:40 OF GOD'S KINGDOM OVER ALL OF THE EARTH.
20:42 TWO SPECIAL PLACES FROM WHERE JEWS WOULD RETURN TO
20:45 ARE HI-LIGHTED IN THE BIBLE.
20:47 IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 43 AND VERSE 6.
20:49 FROM THE NORTH OF ISRAEL AND FROM THE SOUTH.
21:01 THE GREATEST IMMIGRATION WAVE SINCE THE EARLY 1950S
21:04 HAS BEEN OCCURING HERE IN ISRAEL SINCE LATE 1989.
21:08 OVER 450,000 JEWS HAVE COME FROM THE FAR NORTH OF ISRAEL
21:12 FROM THE FORMER SOVIET UNION
21:14 AND THOUSANDS ARE STILL COMING HERE EVERY MONTH.
21:17 SOME STUDY HEBREW HERE AND THEY LEARN EVERY DAY
21:20 SO THAT THEY MAY GO OUT AND LIVE IN THE LAND.
21:22 THEIR CHILDREN PLAY HERE AT THE ABSORPTION CENTRE.
21:25 10S OF THOUSANDS OF BLACK ETHIOPIAN JEWS
21:27 HAVE ALSO BEEN COMING HOME FROM THE SOUTH OF ISRAEL,
21:31 FROM ETHIOPIA, ALTHOUGH MANY ARE ILL
21:33 DUE TO YEARS OF FAMINE THERE THEY ARE WELCOMED AND CARED FOR
21:36 HERE IN ISRAEL.
21:38 THERE ARE OF COURSE, PROBLEMS ABSORBING SO MANY
21:40 NEW IMMIGRANTS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
21:43 BUT THERE IS ALSO GREAT FAITH THAT THE
21:45 GOD OF ISRAEL IS INVOLVED.
21:46 AS IT SAYS IN JEREMIAH CHAPTER 31:10,
21:50 "HE WHO SCATTERED ISRAEL WILL GATHER HIM AND KEEP HIM
21:52 "AS A SHEPHERD KEEPS HIS FLOCK."

24:26 ISRAEL'S GETTING TO BE A LAND OF FOREIGNERS.
24:29 SO MANY VISITORS, SO MANY TOURISTS,
24:31 AND OF COURSE, SO MANY NEW IMMIGRANTS AS YOU SAW.
24:34 AND I HAVE A FUNNY STORY ABOUT BUMPING INTO SOME
24:37 FOREIGNERS ON MOUNT TABOR.
24:39 THE DAY WE FILMED I WAS IN MY ROBE
24:42 AS YOU SAW ME COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN WE PARKED THE VAN
24:45 AND WE WERE WALKING ALONG THE ROAD.
24:47 AND SOME GERMAN PEOPLE WERE WALKING UP THE MOUNTAIN.
24:50 IT IS A POPULAR THING TO WALK UP THE SERPENTINE PATH
24:53 ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF MOUNT TABOR IN A PILGRIM-LIKE MARCH.
24:57 AND AN OLD GENTLEMAN TOOK ME FOR A PRIEST
25:02 AND CAME UP TO ME AND I DON'T KNOW SHOOK MY HAND AND WEPT,
25:06 I GOT THE IMPRESSION HE WAS CONFESSING SINS OR WHATEVER.
25:10 BUT HAPPY TO SEE A PRIEST ALONG THE MOUNTAIN.
25:12 AND I DIDN'T WANT TO INTERRUPT
25:14 AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
25:16 I LIKE TO THINK I FORGAVE HIM,
25:19 I MEAN TO SAY, IF HE WAS CONFESSING.
25:21 I SMILED AND HE SMILED AND THEN ANOTHER PERSON
25:24 IN THE GROUP WHO SPOKE A LITTLE ENGLISH SAID,
25:27 "YOU ARE A PRIEST?"
25:28 I SAID, "NO, ACTUALLY, I'M JUST AN ACTOR
25:31 "ACTING LIKE A PRIEST AND WE LOOKED AT THE OTHER MAN
25:34 "AND HE WAS SO HAPPY THAT WE DIDN'T TELL HIM."
25:38 AND SO I DID MY JOB THAT DAY.
25:41 I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS CALLED TO BE A PRIEST FOR THAT MAN OR NOT.
25:44 THE FOREIGN PEOPLE WHO COME TO ISRAEL,
25:46 MANY OF THEM STAY AS YOU CAN SEE.
25:48 THAT IS, THEY ARE JEWS THAT ARE COMING HOME.
25:50 THEY ARE NOT REALLY FOREIGN, THEY STARTED OUT THERE.
25:52 I STARTED OUT THERE.
25:54 MY NAME, LEVI IN HEBREW, AS YOU WELL KNOW,
25:57 STARTED THERE FOUR THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
25:59 GOD'S PLAN IS BEING FULFILLED.
26:01 AND ONE OF THE MOST DRAMATIC EVIDENCES
26:03 THAT WE HAVE AN ACTIVE AND LIVING GOD, A LIVING FAITH,
26:06 IS THAT IT'S CONTINUALLY FULFILLED BEFORE OUR EYES.
26:10 TRULY, I FEEL SORRY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T SEE
26:13 WHAT IS GOING ON IN ISRAEL.
26:15 YOU HAVE TO SHUT YOUR EYES AND PUT YOUR HANDS OVER THEM
26:18 TO NOT SEE THE MIRACLE OF DOUBLE THE NUMBER
26:21 OF JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE LAND NOW THAN THERE WERE UNDER
26:23 KING DAVID AND SOLOMON AND STILL COMING.
26:25 THE MIRACLE OF JEWISH PEOPLE COMING OUT OF RUSSIA
26:28 AND EVERYWHERE
26:29 ELSE IN THE WORLD.
