Transcript

Caption transcript for “Our Friend the Terrorist” with Zachariah Anani, Part 2

00:10 BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
00:15 THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GENTILE.
00:19 FOR THE SAME LORD OVERALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
00:28 CONSIDERING THE TIMES AND SEASONS OF OUR WORLD TODAY, HERE'S ZOLA LEVITT.
00:35 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
00:37 AS I SAID ON THE LAST PROGRAM, I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENDATIONS FOR THE GUESTS WE HAVE.
00:42 OUR INTERVIEW PROGRAMS APPARENTLY ARE VERY INTERESTING TO YOU.
00:46 WE'VE GOT A REAL LULU TONIGHT. YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS PROGRAM.
00:50 WE'RE HAVING BROTHER ZACH, I WOULD CALL HIM
00:54 "OUR FRIEND THE TERRORIST", BECAUSE ZACH WAS A TERRORIST.
00:57 WE WERE ALL SORT OF TERRORISTS BEFORE WE CAME TO CHRIST.
01:00 SOME OF US KILLED PEOPLE, SOME OF US KILLED IDEAS
01:03 AND SOME OF US PRACTICALLY KILLED OURSELVES AND THEN HE SAVED US.
01:07 ZACH, WHO REALLY WAS A KILLER, IS NOW A PURVEYOR OF ETERNAL LIFE.
01:12 SO BROTHER ZACH, THANK YOU FOR COMING.
01:15 NOW YOU'RE, OF COURSE OF LEBANESE BACKGROUND.
01:18 YES, I WAS BORN IN BEIRUT, LEBANON.
01:22 YOU SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, YOU FOUGHT THE FIGHTS.
01:24 26 YEARS AGO, YES, BECAUSE NOW I'M 26 YEARS OLD IN CHRIST.
01:31 YES, THAT LONG. >>WELL, THAT'S LOVELY.
01:33 YOU SPEAK IN THE CHURCHES AND PEOPLE ARE FASCINATED TO HEAR YOU.
01:39 YOU WERE TELLING ME IN THE LAST PROGRAM THEY DON'T CALL YOU AS OFTEN NOW.
01:42 NO, ACTUALLY EITHER BECAUSE IT'S POLITICALLY CORRECT
01:47 OR MAINLY THE CHURCHES ARE INTIMIDATED AND ASLEEP.
01:50 THEY ARE SCARED TO FACE THE FACT THAT NOW IS TIME TO MOVE.
01:55 THAT'S WHY SOMETIMES I THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU,
01:59 WHO ARE REALLY WILLING TO GO FORWARD OR, FOR INSTANCE,
02:02 BROTHER DAVID WILKERSON IN NEW YORK WHO IS REALLY SPEARHEADING THIS
02:08 AND ACTUALLY HE'S A GOOD HELP SOMETIMES FOR ME. PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT.
02:13 OTHER THAN THAT MAINLY THE CHURCHES REALLY ARE EITHER INTIMIDATED OR ASLEEP.
02:17 I'LL GIVE YOU A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE IN YOUR OWN TOWN.
02:21 THERE IS A BIG CENTER IN A BIG MOSQUE AND FROM MY KNOWLEDGE (ARABIC),
02:28 WHICH IS, PRAISE THE LORD, WHICH FOR ME WAS 18 YEARS OF STUDIES AND ALL OF THAT,
02:33 I WALKED THROUGH THAT CENTER AND I READ SOME OF IT, OF ITS CONTENTS.
02:39 YOU'D BE VERY SURPRISED AND SHOCKED THAT THIS CENTER CONTAINS A SCHOOL.
02:43 FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY, IT'S LIKE MUSLIM EVANGELISTS
02:48 AND THERE IS A SCHOOL TO RECRUIT AND TEACH THE PEOPLE WHO COMES TO THIS KIND OF ISLAM.
02:58 THAT MEANS THAT THEY, TO HAVE THAT BIG CENTER THAT MEANS YOU HAVE AT LEAST BETWEEN 15,000
03:04 UP TO MAYBE 30,000 MUSLIMS AROUND YOU THERE.
03:06 IN HERE, IN DALLAS? >>RIGHT.
03:08 SO YOUR WORK IS CUT OUT FOR YOU.
03:11 NOW, REMEMBER THEY ARE OUT TO GET YOU MORE THAN YOU ARE OUT TO GET THEM.
03:16 IT'S YOUR JOB TO GO OUT AND GET THEM.
03:19 WE'RE OUT TO GET THEM TO CHRIST IF WE CAN.
03:21 SOMEBODY GOT YOU AND TO HEAR YOU TELL IT, YOU WERE A PRETTY TOUGH CASE.
03:27 YOU'VE KILLED PEOPLE AND YOU'VE FOUGHT AND YOU--
03:30 YES, AND I THANK GOD THAT HE CHOSE ME OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT.
03:36 I DON'T KNOW. I THINK WE'RE ALL IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT.
03:39 I LIKE THE STORY WHERE YOU'RE STANDING ON THE BEACH AND LOOKING AT THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
03:43 AND THINKING IT OVER AND FINALLY YOU THREW YOUR GUN IN THE SEA.
03:45 YES, PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT.
03:48 YOU KNOW, WHEN A HUMAN BEING, NO MATTER WHO IS HE, TO ME IS THE ISLAMIC FIELD,
03:56 WHEN A MUSLIM REALLY SEEKS GOD HE'LL FIND HIM. IF HE REALLY, REALLY SEEKS HIM.
04:03 NO MATTER HOW THICK IS THE VEIL, LIGHT CAN COME THROUGH.
04:08 IN MY CASE, IT'S ONLY A WORD IN THE STREET.
04:13 IT ONLY IS, IF YOU'RE REALLY SEEKING GOD, HE'LL COME.
04:19 SO A TRUE MUSLIM, IF HE'S REALLY SEEKING GOD, ALL THAT HE HAS TO DO
04:25 IS SURRENDER TO CHRIST AT LEAST ONE TIME AND LET HIM TRY IT.
04:29 LISTEN, IF YOUR CHURCH IS NOT WITNESSING TO MUSLIMS, YOU NEED A GUY LIKE ZACH TO HELP.
04:34 WE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE ALL THE TIME.
04:37 PEOPLE CALL ME TO THEIR CHURCH TO AT LEAST EXPLAIN HOW TO WITNESS TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
04:42 THEY SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY BECAUSE WE GO TO THE JEWS FOR THEM, THIS SORT OF THING.
04:49 IF YOU'RE NOT DOING IT FOR THE MUSLIMS, YOU'RE LEAVING SOMEBODY OUT.
04:51 JESUS KNEW A LOT OF MIDDLE EASTERNERS WHO WERE NOT JEWS.
04:55 HE TALKED TO THE SYROPHOENICIAN WOMAN, HE HEALED THE SERVANT OF THE ROMAN OFFICER AND SO FORTH.
05:01 BROTHER ZOLA, GOD HAD INVESTED IN ME, PRAISE HIM,
05:05 THE KNOWLEDGE OF AT LEAST 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OF TEACHING, DEBATING AND TRAINING.
05:11 IF ANY CHURCH FEELS THAT GOD PUT IN THEIR HEARTS, THEY HAVE TO REACH THE MUSLIM
05:16 AND THEY HAVE TO BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE IN FRONT OF GOD FOR THAT,
05:20 THEN I'M VERY MUCH WILLING TO COME AND DO IT FREE.
05:25 LISTEN, GET IN TOUCH WITH US AND WE'LL PASS YOUR LETTER ON TO ZACH
05:28 AND HAVE THIS MAN AT YOUR CHURCH. HE'S TERRIFIC. BELIEVE ME, HE IS.
05:33 HE CAN SAY SO MUCH ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS, AT LEAST, IF NOT THE GOSPEL ITSELF.
05:40 COMING TO THAT, WHAT ABOUT IRAQ? WE'RE AT AN AWKWARD TIME.
05:42 THIS WAR, FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES IS OVER WITH, BUT STILL HAVE SUICIDE BOMBINGS.
05:47 WE'RE DISCOVERING THAT THERE'S NOT ONE KIND OF CHARACTER TO COPE WITH IN IRAQ,
05:52 THERE'S A HUNDRED KINDS OF CHARACTERS.
05:55 WELL, FIRST OF ALL I'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT FIRST I PRAY DAILY
06:00 AND I THANK GOD DAILY FOR ALL THOSE BRAVE, MAYBE SOMETIMES NOT THE RIGHT MOTIVE,
06:09 BUT BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE THERE AND I REALLY, REALLY PRAY FOR THIS PRESIDENT OF YOURS, GEORGE BUSH.
06:18 AND I'M PRAYING AND I HOPE WE WON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP OF PLAYING IT POLITICALLY CORRECT.
06:26 IT'S OUR TIME, THERE IS AN OPEN THE WINDOW FOR REAL CHRISTIANITY TO BE REVEALED THERE.
06:36 IT'S OUR TIME THAT SOMEHOW THIS ADMINISTRATION WOULD ALLOW
06:41 THE REAL CHRISTIANITY TO SHOW THEIR FACES THERE IF IT'S BY CHARITY WORK,
06:45 OR BY ALLOWING MISSIONARIES TO GO THERE.
06:49 I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE FOR INSTANCE.
06:51 I'M VERY QUITE AND VERY SURE THAT THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION
06:55 IS GOING TO SEND BIG AID TO IRAQ; FOOD, CLOTHES, MEDICAL SUPPLIES,WHY NOT BIBLES?
07:03 WHY NOT BIBLES? FRANKLIN GRAHAM IS GOING TO GO THERE.
07:07 HE'S ANNOUNCED THAT HE HAS A MISSION TO BOTH HELP WITH THE FEEDING AND ALL THE REST OF IT,
07:14 PLUS BIBLES, PLUS EVANGELISM.
07:16 WHY, FOR INSTANCE, IF YOUR ADMINISTRATION AND YOU AMERICAN PEOPLE, TAX PAYERS,
07:24 ARE GOING TO CARRY THE BURDEN OF RECREATING A NATION AND RECREATING A SOCIETY,
07:30 A CIVILIZED ONE, A FREE CIVILIZED ONE,
07:33 WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO AND PREACH THE TRUTH,
07:37 YOUR TRUTH TO THEM ACCORDING TO YOUR THINKING?
07:40 WHY, FOR INSTANCE, WOULDN'T YOU SAY,
07:42 IF YOU WANT ME TO BUILD UP A HUNDRED SCHOOLS FOR YOU
07:44 I NEED AT LEAST ONE CHRISTIAN TEACHER TO BE THERE?
07:48 WELL, SURE.
07:50 IN FACT, YOU KNOW THE LIBERAL AMERICAN REPORTERS SAY FRANKLIN GRAHAM
07:55 HAS SOME ULTERIOR MOTIVE, SOME HIDDEN MOTIVE IN DOING WHAT HE IS DOING,
07:58 BUT HE ANNOUNCES LOUD AND CLEAR; I WANT TO FEED THE POOR, I WANT A WITNESS OF CHRIST.
08:03 THIS IS WHAT CHRISTIANS DO. IT'S NOT AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE.
08:06 LISTEN, WHY WOULD YOU IN AMERICA, I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT ANY OTHER COUNTRY,
08:11 WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW, AND THIS WILL GET YOU INTO TROUBLE SOMETIMES,
08:15 ALLOW HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF THOSE MUSLIM EVANGELISTS TO COME INTO YOUR COUNTRY,
08:21 GO TO YOUR STREETS, BUILD THEIR MOSQUES, BUILD THEIR CENTERS
08:24 AND COME TO YOUR DOORS CALLING YOU TO ISLAM AND IT'S NOT VIS-A-VERSA.
08:29 WHY CAN'T WE GO THERE AND TELL THEM ABOUT CHRIST.
08:32 THAT'S A CONCEPT THAT HADN'T EVEN OCCURRED TO ME.
08:34 YES, WE SHOULD SEND OUR EVANGELISTS AS WELL AS OUR FOOD AND OUR SOLDIERS, AND HOW.
08:39 LET ME TAKE YOU OVER TO ISRAEL, WHICH HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS TERRORISM.
08:45 I DON'T THINK IT'S SIMILAR, I THINK IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME.
08:47 WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT THAT ONE?
08:49 THE PRESIDENT SAYS HERE'S A ROAD MAP TO CREATE
08:51 INSTEAD OF BREAKING DOWN THE DICTATORSHIP, HE'S BUILDING IT UP.
08:55 I HOPE IT WON'T WORK. YOU KNOW WHY?
08:59 NOT BECAUSE I'M AGAINST PEACE OVER THERE. DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME.
09:03 BUT OF COURSE THERE WILL BE NO PEACE IF THERE IS NO SOLID PROTECTED STATE OF ISRAEL.
09:13 I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, WHICH I ALWAYS SAY TO A LOT OF MY FRIENDS.
09:19 LET'S SAY THE LAST, RADICAL TERRORISTS LIKE YASSAR ARAFAT OR THE PRESIDENT OF SYRIA;
09:28 SAY, OKAY GUYS, THAT'S IT. WE DON'T WANT TO FIGHT ANYMORE.
09:31 WE'RE GOING TO SIGN A PEACE TREATY WITH ISRAEL,
09:34 EVEN WE'RE GOING TO DISSOLVE ALL OUR MILITARY FORCES.
09:37 WE WANT TO GO TO AGRICULTURE AND BUILD UP THE COUNTRY.
09:40 WE'RE GOING TO BE AN INDUSTRIAL COUNTRY LIKE JAPAN.
09:43 WE DON'T WANT TO FIGHT ANYMORE. WE DON'T WANT TO HOSTILE OUR NEIGHBORS. THAT'S IT.
09:47 THE ISRAELIS CAN LIVE ALONE AND ISRAEL ONLY LET US LIVE WITH NO WARS
09:52 INSTEAD OF PAYING ALL OUR MONEY AND INCOME TO WARS
09:55 WE WANT TO GENERATE A BETTER CIVILIZATION FOR OUR COUNTRIES.
09:59 BELIEVE ME, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, ALSO IF YOU NOTICED.
10:02 THERE WILL BE ALWAYS GROUPS LIKE HAMAS, LIKE HEZBOLLAH AND MAYBE GENERATED OTHERS WHO WILL SAY,
10:09 UH-OH, WE'LL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
10:11 OUR FIGHT IS TO THE END UNTIL THERE IS NO MORE ISRAEL. YOU KNOW WHY?
10:15 BECAUSE IT IS WITHIN THE DOCTRINE.IT IS WITHIN THE GENES OF THE GENERATIONS.
10:20 I SAID ONCE, IF YOU WANT TO ELIMINATE THE HATRED BETWEEN THE NATIONS, AND PUT IT THIS WAY,
10:27 BETWEEN THE ARABS AND THE JEWS, NOT ONLY THE ISRAELIS,
10:31 WE NEED TO TEACH OUR NEW UPCOMING GENERATION TO LOVE.
10:35 WE NEED TO TEACH OUR SONS WHO IS GOING TO BE BORN, BECAUSE TO US IT'S ALREADY A DONE DEAL.
10:40 WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN RAISED THAT WAY
10:43 AND IF IT WASN'T FOR CHRIST'S LOVE I WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED.
10:48 WELL THAT'S WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO. WE HAVE TO GET CHRIST OVER THERE SOMEHOW.
10:56 THE WHOLE WAR ON TERRORISM IS REALLY,
10:59 AS MUCH AS THEY SAY IT'S NOT A WAR ON ISLAM, IN A WAY IT IS.
11:03 IT'S A WAR ON UNBELIEF. IT'S A WAR ON--
11:07 LET ME USE MY GOLDEN FORMULA. IT IS A FIGHT BETWEEN RIGHT AND EVIL;
11:17 BETWEEN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND EVIL. CHRISTIANITY OR CHRISTIANS IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT THIS WAY
11:23 COULD BE BAD, COULD BE THIEVES, COULD BE MASSACRES.
11:27 LOOK AT THE ONE WHO DID THAT IN OKLAHOMA. HE'S FROM A BAPTIST CHURCH.
11:31 THAT'S NOT THE DOCTRINE. THE DOCTRINE IS DIVINE AND HOLY.
11:34 SOMEONE COULD STAND UP AND SAY; I'M SENT BY GOD TO FIGHT ALL THE WORLD
11:39 UNTIL THEY BECOME CHRISTIANS, BUT THAT'S HIS OWN WORDS.
11:42 IF YOU GO TO THE DOCTRINE, TO THE TEACHING, TO CHRISTIANITY ITSELF,
11:46 IT IS PURE, IT'S DIVINE.
11:49 MUSLIMS COULD BE VERY NICE PEOPLE, HOSPITABLE PEOPLE, VERY REAL GOOD PEOPLE,
11:56 BUT THE DOCTRINE IS BAD AND EVIL.WHY?
11:59 BECAUSE WITHIN THE DOCTRINE IF YOU ARE NOT A MUSLIM, YOU'RE DEAD.
12:06 IN "THE DEFENSE WARS" OF MOHAMMED AND HIS HOLY KINGS AFTER HIM,
12:14 THE GENERAL OF THE ARMY WILL REACH THE GATES OF THE CITY AND THEN HE WILL SAY TO THEM,
12:20 ARE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF (ARABIC NAME),
12:22 THE GREATEST GENERAL WHO WAS ONE OF MOHAMMED'S REAL, REAL CLOSE FRIENDS OR CLOSE STUDENTS.
12:29 AND HE SAYS, I CAME TO YOU, THE PEOPLE, WHO LOVE DEATH LIKE YOU LOVE LIFE;
12:34 YOU HAVE 3 THINGS TO CHOSE OF.
12:36 EITHER YOU BECAME MUSLIMS AND YOU DO WHAT WE DO AND YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES LIKE US
12:41 OR YOU BECAME SLAVES OF THE EMPIRE, THE THIRD RATE CITIZEN, YOU PAY A TRIBUTE
12:49 OR YOU FIGHT TO THE DEATH. YOU KILL US OR WE KILL YOU.
12:53 HE'S OUR FRIEND, BROTHER ZACH.
12:55 I CALL HIM OUR FRIEND THE TERRORIST. THAT'S TONGUE IN CHEEK.
12:58 HE'S NOT A TERRORIST ANYMORE, HE'S A CHRISTIAN.
13:00 YET WE GO TO PEOPLE OF REAL BACKGROUNDS IN THE PROBLEMS WE DISCUSS
13:07 AND HE IS LEBANESE, PHOENICIAN. HE SPEAKS PERFECT ARABIC.
13:11 YOU'LL HEAR HIM SPEAK IT LATER IN THE PROGRAM.
13:15 HE AGREES WITH ALL OF US. THE SOLUTION, OF COURSE, IS JESUS CHRIST.
13:19 WE'LL BE BACK WITH BROTHER ZACH RIGHT AFTER THIS.
13:24 FOR A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE EAST
13:28 ASK FOR ZOLA'S FREE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, THE LEVITT LETTER.
13:35 ZOLA'S NEW KINGDOM CATALOG DESCRIBES HIS BOOKS, TEACHING TAPES AND CORRESPONDENCE COURSE.
13:43 FOR ZOLA'S FREE NEWSLETTER AND CATALOG PLEASE CALL 1-800-WONDERS.
13:57 THUS SAYETH THE LORD GOD, I SHALL GATHER YOU FROM THE PEOPLES
14:01 AND ASSEMBLE YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE YOU'VE BEEN SCATTERED
14:05 AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
14:08 THE WILDERNESS AND THE DRY LAND SHALL BE GLAD.
14:11 THE DESERT SHALL REJOICE AND BLOSSOM AS THE ROSE.
14:15 YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD WHEN I BRING YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
14:23 WELL, THAT'S OUR TOUR OF ISRAEL. LET ME GIVE YOU A TIP.
14:26 WE'RE TAKING A TOUR AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.
14:29 YOU CAN LEAVE MAY 29 OR A FEW DAYS LATER. THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT DEPARTURES.
14:34 THIS IS THE TOUR OF A LIFETIME. IT'S SO SMALL.
14:39 THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA IN GROUP TOURS IS TO GET A SMALL ONE.
14:42 I KNOW THAT THE TOURISTS WHO COME RIGHT AT THE END MAKE THE BEST OF PILGRIMS.
14:46 SO COME ON.CALL US UP. LET'S GET OVER THERE. IT'S WONDERFUL THERE NOW.
14:50 THERE'S NO PROBLEM AND I'D LIKE TO BUILD THIS TOUR UP A LITTLE BIT
14:54 AND SHOW ISRAEL THAT WE'RE BEHIND HER.
14:58 ZACH, I DON'T KNOW. YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE OVER THERE.
15:04 YOU KNOW IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT YOU HAVE A SISTER IN THE GOSPEL.
15:08 THE WOMAN, IT SAYS IN MY SCOFIELD BIBLE,
15:10 THE SYROPHOENICIAN'S WOMAN'S DAUGHTER IS HEALED.
15:14 SYROPHOENICIAN IS WHAT YOU ARE. >>YES.
15:22 THAT'S WHERE YOU LIVED. >>EXACTLY.
15:24 THAT'S WHERE YOU THREW YOUR GUN INTO THE MEDITERRANEAN.
15:26 YES.YOU SEE I SPEAK ARABIC, I'M NOT AN ARAB. I'M A SYROPHOENICIAN.
15:32 YES, YES, AND NEITHER IS THIS WOMAN.
15:43 AND IT ENDS ON A HAPPY NOTE.
15:51 WHO IS THIS WOMAN WHO HAD MORE FAITH THAN ALL THE SO-CALLED CHOSEN PEOPLE?
15:54 SHE WAS A LEBANESE WOMAN.
15:57 YOU SEE, WHEN GOD CHOOSES SOMEONE FROM OUTSIDE THE FAMILY OF ISRAEL
16:07 AND WHEN THEY COME TO HIM, LIKE I WAS SHARING WITH YOUR WIFE,
16:12 TRULY COME TO HIM, THEY KNOW WHAT IS BEHIND,
16:16 SO THEY REALLY TRULY COME AND THEIR FAITH IS AS STRONG AS.
16:21 IN CHRISTIANITY AND THIS IS WHAT LACKS IN YOUR COUNTRY, CHRISTIANITY.
16:26 CHRISTIANITY HAS A PRICE TAG. PEOPLE FORGOT THAT.
16:31 THAT'S WHY WHEN A GUY LIKE ME COMES TO CHRIST HE KNOWS THE PRICE TAG.
16:35 YOU KNOW IN THE PAST 20 YEARS THEY'VE TRIED TO KILL ME 15 TIMES?
16:38 15 TIMES? YOU'RE PRETTY HARD TO KILL.
16:40 PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT. EVEN HERE IN THE STATES I WAS ATTACKED IN DETROIT.
16:44 THEY BURNED MY CAR AND THEY ATTACKED ME. IT'S THE STORY OF LIFE.
16:48 SO, THERE IS A PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR CHRISTIANITY.
16:51 IT'S NOT JUST A CLUB YOU COME IN AND YOU GO OUT OF IT.
16:54 WHO ATTACKED YOU, ZACH?
16:56 IN DETROIT? >>YES.
16:58 WELL, SOME YEMENI ARABS WHO WERE VERY MAD BECAUSE GOD USED ME TO CONVERT ONE OF THEIR KEY PEOPLE.
17:05 SO THEY GO AFTER THE MESSENGER.
17:12 WELL, I HAD A MISSIONARY ONCE WHOSE FIELD WAS THE SINAI DESERT.
17:16 I SAID TO HIM, YOU MUST GET SOME TOUGH CUSTOMERS.
17:18 HE SAID, PERSECUTION IS THE PROPER EXERCISE OF THE CHURCH.
17:23 THE AMERICAN CHURCH IS WEAK AND FLABBY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET ENOUGH EXERCISE.
17:28 BUT YOU SEE GOD HAD BLESSED YOU WITH A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT,
17:35 WHICH YOU PAID BLOOD AND SOULS FOR IT,
17:38 TO GO OUT AND TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR FAITH AND TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT CHRIST.
17:43 YOU'VE GAINED THE RIGHT AND YOU CAN DO IT.
17:46 AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND, REALLY, WHY THE CHURCHES ARE NOT DOING THAT.
17:50 MUSLIMS NOW ARE AT YOUR GATES AND IN FRONT OF YOUR DOORS
17:55 AND YOUR SCHOOLS AND YOUR UNIVERSITIES.
17:57 YOU DON'T HAVE TO CROSS ANY MORE OCEANS AND DESERTS AND MOUNTAINS TO REACH THEM.
18:01 YOU ARE CALLED TO DO IT HERE.
18:04 HERE, EVEN AS I SAID, THERE IS A BIG CENTER WHICH WILL MAYBE CONTAIN ABOUT 15,000 TO 20,000 MUSLIMS AROUND IN YOUR AREA.
18:12 SO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
18:14 TRYING TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT.
18:16 SANDRA AND I DROVE, I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT,
18:18 WE DROVE INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THAT--
18:21 WE WANTED TO SEE THE SHRINE AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE AND SO ON.
18:25 THEY WERE HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE. IT LOOKED LIKE A BAPTIST CHURCH. THEY WERE SMILING.
18:29 THE DEACONS, IN EFFECT, IN COATS AND TIES GREETING PEOPLE,
18:34 SHOWING CARS IN AND FINDING THEM A PLACE TO PARK, SHAKING HANDS AND SO ON.
18:38 NOW THEY ARE USING YOUR OWN METHOD, MY FRIEND.
18:41 OH YES, THEY LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF AMERICAN.
18:47 YOU'RE AN EXPERT IN THE KORAN. YOU'VE READ IT. YOU'VE READ IT IN THE ORIGINAL.
18:51 WHAT'S INTERESTING YOU WERE SHOWING US THAT TRANSLATIONS
18:54 ARE TURNED AROUND AND CHANGED SLIGHTLY IN ENGLISH FOR AMERICAN CONSUMPTION.
18:59 RIGHT.FIRST, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IN ISLAMIC FAITH YOU CAN ONLY PRAY IN ARABIC.
19:06 YOU CAN ONLY READ YOUR HOLY BOOK IN ARABIC.
19:09 IS THIS TRUE EVEN IN INDONESIA OR--?
19:11 ANYWHERE YOU WANT; IN AMERICA, IN CHINA, IN INDONESIA ANYWHERE YOU ARE
19:17 YOU HAVE TO PRAY IN ARABIC AND YOU HAVE TO READ YOUR BOOK IN ARABIC,
19:23 OTHERWISE IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO GOD.WHY?
19:27 ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS, BECAUSE THERE IS PLENTY OF OTHER REASONS,
19:30 BECAUSE WHEN YOU TRANSLATE THE MUSLIM HOLY BOOK, THE KORAN,
19:36 INTO ANOTHER LANGUAGE, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.
19:39 THAT'S WHY THEY MODIFY THE TRANSLATION THAT THE WORLD ACCEPT THE IDEA.
19:44 THEY CHANGE IT AROUND.
19:46 SHOW ME A VERSE THAT THEY'VE CHANGED.
19:48 FOR INSTANCE, GO TO CHAPTER 112.
19:51 IN ARABIC, I'LL SAY IT IN ARABIC AND THEN I'LL TRANSLATE IT THE WAY THEY TRANSLATE IT
19:57 AND I'LL TRANSLATE IT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
19:59 [SPEAKING ARABIC]
20:05 THEY TRANSLATE IT; SAY THAT GOD IS ALLAH, THE ONE, THE ONLY ONE.
20:11 ACTUALLY, THE WORD "THE" AND "THE ONLY" DOES NOT EXIST IN THE ARABIC TEXT.
20:17 IT SHOULD READ; SAY THAT ALLAH IS GOD, A GOD.
20:23 TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU VERY QUICKLY, IN ARABIC THERE IS THE KNOWN AND THE UNKNOWN.
20:29 THE UNKNOWN IS LIKE YOU SET A MAN IN A ROOM FULL OF 100 MEN.
20:34 IT COULD BE ANY ONE OF THEM, BECAUSE ONE, A, ONE IS AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF A BIG NUMBER.
20:41 BUT IF YOU SAID, THE MAN, THEN EVERYBODY DISAPPEARS
20:44 AND THERE IS NOTHING BUT THAT MAN IN FRONT OF YOU.
20:47 SO IN MY DEBATE WITH A MUSLIM SCHOLAR I SAID TO HIM IT SAYS IN ARABIC [SPEAKING ARABIC].
20:53 THAT MEANS A ONE, A ONE OUT OF MANY HOW MANY NUMBERS, BECAUSE THE CHRISTIANS SAY 3.
20:58 YOU GIVE ME A NUMBER IF YOU PLEASE.
21:01 THE WORD IS THE SAME IN HEBREW, [SPEAKING HEBREW], ONE, SINGULAR.
21:05 IN ENGLISH THE INDEFINITE ARTICLE, A, LIKE YOU SAID, A GOD.
21:09 HE COULD BE ONE OF A HUNDRED GODS.
21:11 THE IRONY OF THAT, THE SAME VERSE, THE SAME SURRAH IS THE SECOND WORD.
21:16 IT SAYS [SPEAKING ARABIC], THE EVERLASTING.
21:19 SO THERE IS NO ONE EVERLASTING BUT HIM BECAUSE THEY USE THE WORD THE L.
21:25 IT DOESN'T EXIST IN THE BEGINNING.
21:27 IT'S NOT IN THE ORIGINAL? >>NO.
21:29 SO KNOW THAT WHEN WE HEAR SOMEBODY QUOTE THE KORAN OVER HERE IN ENGLISH
21:35 OR WHEN DUKE UNIVERSITY OR SOME OTHER POLITICALLY CORRECT PLACE TEACHES ARABIC,
21:40 OR TEACHES THE VERSES FROM THE KORAN THEY'RE JUST TEACHING A SANITIZED VERSION.
21:45 I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER EXAMPLE. WHEN THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE END OF CHRIST IN THE KORAN
21:49 IN ARABIC IT IS VERY CLEAR. IT SAYS [SPEAKING ARABIC].
21:53 THAT MEANS, I'M PUTTING DEATH ON YOU.
21:56 BUT THEY TRANSLATE IT AS I'M COLLECTING YOU.
22:00 WHAT ABOUT JIHAD? THIS WORD, WHICH TO US MEANS HOLY WAR,
22:04 THEY SAY, OH NO, IT'S A STRUGGLE A SPIRITUAL STRUGGLE. WHAT IS IT?
22:08 IN THAT CASE, WHAT WAS THE SPIRITUAL-- I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THE SECOND MILE.
22:11 WHAT WAS THE SPIRITUAL STRUGGLE OF ALL THE JIHAD ARMIES, WHICH EXTENDED FROM 610 UP TO 1011
22:19 AND CONQUERED MOST OF THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE.
22:21 RIGHT, EXACTLY.
22:23 NO, JIHAD WE UNDERSTAND.
22:25 IT IS HOLY WAR.
22:27 ACTUALLY, BETWEEN THE YEAR 611 IN THE YEAR 900 THE MUSLIM FOCUS OF THE INDIVIDUAL
22:36 IS TO GO TO WHAT WE CALL (ARABIC) THAT MEANS THE FRONT LINES.
22:41 SO HE WILL DO THE JIHAD.
22:43 THE GREATEST (ARABIC), HOLY KING WAS (ARABIC).
22:51 WHEN HE DIED HE ASKED THEM TO PUT HIS HAT, OR WHAT LIKE THE JEW--
22:56 CROWN, OH, THE SKULL CAP, THE YAMAKA.
23:00 WRITTEN ON IT (ARABIC). THAT MEANS PILGRIMAGE AND CONQUEROR FOR THE JIHAD.
23:07 THAT MEANS HE DID JIHAD ONE YEAR HE HAS TO GO TO HAJ, ONE YEAR HE IS TO GO TO JIHAD AND CONQUER.
23:13 SO RELIGIOUS DUTY AND THEN THE WAR.
23:16 YOU KNOW CHRISTIANS DO THE SAME IN A WAY.
23:20 IN AMERICA, I DON'T MEAN CHRISTIANS, BUT MORMONS HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BIBLE.
23:24 CATHOLICS MAKE SUBTLE CHANGES IN TRANSLATION.
23:27 LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU.
23:29 LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE MUSLIMS HIT US WITH THIS.
23:34 IN ISLAM THE WORD, THE WRITTEN WORD,
23:37 THIS WRITTEN WORD ESPECIALLY IN ARABIC IS IMPECCABLE.
23:41 YOU CAN'T EVEN TOUCH IT WITH YOUR FINGER.
23:43 YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CEREMONIAL WASH BEFORE YOU CAN READ IT.
23:46 LIKE IN JUDAISM. YES.
23:47 BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GOD IS SPEAKING, EVEN THE LANGUAGE.
23:53 IN CHRISTIANITY THE BIBLE, WHICH IS IN YOUR HAND ONLY THE REVELATION IS IMPECCABLE,
24:00 NOT THE VERSE, NOT THE WRITTEN WORD, NOT THE INK, NOT THE PAPER.
24:04 I'LL GIVE YOU A VERY QUICK EXAMPLE.
24:08 YOU CAN NOT CHANGE ANY WORD IN THE KORAN, NOT EVEN THE MEANING.
24:10 EVEN IF IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING VERY STUPID LIKE THE SUN IS GOING IN THE MERCURY OF CLAY.
24:15 YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT. IT IS THERE. RIGHT?
24:17 BUT IN THE BIBLE IF YOU GO TO-- THERE IS A VERSE,
24:21 IF YOUR SIN IS AS DARK AS NIGHT IT WILL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW.
24:24 TAKE THAT SENTENCE TO A PEASANT IN THE MIDDLE OF SAUDI ARABIA
24:27 AND SAY IF YOUR SINS IS AS DARK AS NIGHT IT WILL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW,
24:31 HE'LL OPEN HIS MOUTH. WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!
24:34 HE'S NEVER SEEN SNOW IN HIS LIFE. >>HE NEVER SAW SNOW.
24:36 BUT IF YOU SAID TO HIM, IF YOUR SIN IS AS DARK AS NIGHT
24:38 IT WILL BE AS WHITE AS WOOL, HE'LL GRASP IT.
24:43 YOU DID NOT CHANGE THE REVELATION, YOU ONLY CHANGED THE MEANING OF THE WORD.
24:47 FROM THAT POINT THE OTHERS, LIKE MORMONS AND THE OTHERS LIKE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
24:52 PLAY ON THE WORD, BUT NOT IN THE ORIGINAL REVELATION.
24:57 THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE ORIGINAL REVELATION AND OBEY IT.
25:02 THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE THE JEWS ABOUT IT.
25:05 THEY GUARD THE WORD. >>OH THEY DO.
25:08 THEY USE A POINTER, SINCE YOU SAID DON'T TOUCH IT WITH YOUR FINGER.
25:11 THEY USE A POINTER WHEN THEY READ FROM THE TORAH, THE LAW.
25:16 ZACH, I WANTED TO SAVE A MINUTE HERE FOR YOU TO, AND YOU DID THIS IN THE LAST PROGRAM,
25:21 TALK TO YOUR MUSLIM BROTHER AND IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.
25:25 TALK TO THEM IN ARABIC THEN TRANSLATE FOR US.
25:28 I'LL SAY IT IN ARABIC AND ENGLISH BECAUSE THERE ARE MUSLIMS WHO DOESN'T KNOW ARABIC
25:31 LIKE PAKISTANIS, AFGHANS AND ALL OF THAT.
25:35 [SPEAKING ARABIC]
26:12 MY DEAR FRIEND THE MUSLIM, THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO LOSE.
26:17 THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU CAN REALLY WIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOURSELF.
26:23 THERE IS NO NEED FOR THAT.
26:26 ALL THAT YOU NEED TO DO IS COME TO CHRIST BECAUSE HE SAID THAT HE IS THE RIGHT WAY AND THE SALVATION.
26:32 YOU CAN NEVER FIND, NOT EVEN ONE MUSLIM, NO MATTER WHO IS HE
26:36 WHO WILL TELL YOU WHAT WILL BE HIS END. THAT MEANS YOU'RE LOST.
26:40 THE BLIND CAN'T LEAD THE BLIND. COME TO CHRIST AND YOU WILL SEE THAT LIGHT.THANK YOU.
26:47 WONDERFUL, ZACH.
26:49 AND IN HEBREW, [SPEAKING HEBREW], THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
26:56 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM, PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
