Caption transcript for Voices From Israel: “On the Outside” (7/10)

• 00:06 THIS PLACE IS PART OF YOUR HERITAGE.
• 00:08 THIS PLACE IS PART OF YOUR DREAM.
• 00:11 PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE ARE IN CHARGE OF THE LAND OF THE BIBLE.
• 00:13 I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY TIMES IN HISTORY
• 00:15 WHEN CHRISTIANS HAVE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY WHEN JEWISH PEOPLE WERE BEING ATTACKED.
• 00:19 WE WILL ULTIMATELY SEE THE WORLD CHANGE.
• 00:22 GOD'S PURPOSES FOR ISRAEL JUST MARCH ON, DON'T THEY?
• 00:31 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 00:33 WELL, WELCOME BACK TO OUR "VOICES FROM ISRAEL" SERIES.
• 00:37 WE SHOW YOU QUITE A BIT OF THE HOLY LAND ON THESE PROGRAMS.
• 00:40 WE ARE ALSO GOING TO TALK WITH JONI AND STUART,
• 00:44 WHO YOU WILL PROBABLY RECOGNIZE BEING ON OUR PROGRAMS BEFORE, SO-CALLED WEST BANK SETTLERS.
• 00:50 THAT'S WHAT THE WORLD CALLS THEM.
• 00:52 THEY WOULDN'T CALL THEMSELVES THAT EXACTLY AND YOU'LL SEE WHY I SAY THAT.
• 00:57 WE SHOW A LITTLE OF OUR TOURS ON THESE PROGRAMS.
• 01:00 WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GO TODAY, TONY?
• 01:02 WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A WHIRLWIND TOUR
• 01:04 OF THE NORTHERN PART OF GALILEE,
• 01:06 GO TO A LITTLE PLACE CALLED SAFED
• 01:08 OR AS THE HEBREWS WOULD PRONOUNCE IT TSFAT
• 01:10 AND THEN BANIAS, WHICH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS KNOWN AS,
• 01:13 AS YOU KNOW, CAESAREA PHILIPPI AND THEN QASRIN,
• 01:17 WHICH IS KIND OF A POPULAR TOURIST SPOT THAT WE'LL STOP AT.
• 01:21 TONY'S OUR TOUR MANAGER AND LEADER, SO YOU'LL SEE HIM ALONG THE WAY.
• 01:26 WELL, LET'S GO NOW TO LOCATION IN THE HOLY LAND.
• 01:29 AS THE BUS DEPARTS HOTEL NOF GINOSAR FOR OUR DAY OF TOURING THE GALILEE,
• 01:34 WE SAY GOOD BYE TO THE CAMELS ON THE KIBBUTZ AND START OUR TRIP WITH A SONG.
• 01:39 ♪ ♪
• 01:50 WE HEAD NORTH FROM TIBERIAS ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE SEA OF GALILEE
• 01:54 TO OUR FIRST STOP AT SAFED, OR AS IN HEBREW, TSFAT.
• 01:59 TODAY THIS IS A POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION BECAUSE OF THE ARTIST COLONY.
• 02:04 THIS PICTURESQUE TOWN NESTLED AMONGST THE GALILEAN HILLS
• 02:08 MAINTAINED A THRIVING JEWISH COMMUNITY THROUGH THE YEARS OF MAMALUKE AND OTTOMAN RULE
• 02:13 AND IS THE HOME OF MUCH OF JEWISH MYSTICISM.
• 02:16 DURING THE 16TH CENTURY, MANY FAMOUS RABBIS LIKE JOSEPH CARO LIVED AND WERE BURIED HERE.
• 02:23 JOSEPH CARO WROTE "THE PREPARED TABLE",
• 02:26 WHICH IN 1565 WAS A CODE OF ALL JEWISH RELIGIOUS PRECEPTS.
• 02:31 THIS WRITING BECAME A BASIC GUIDE FOR JUDAISM
• 02:34 AND ADVANCED THE CULTURAL COHESION OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS A NATION.
• 02:38 WHILE WE WERE HERE, WE GOT A CHANCE TO SEE THE 16TH CENTURY TORAH SCROLL,
• 02:43 THE FIRST 5 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE, WHICH HAVE BEEN METICULOUSLY RECORDED FOR POSTERITY.
• 02:50 IT'S FUN TO GO WITH A CHRISTIAN GROUP LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE BRING THE BIBLE INTO IT
• 02:54 AND THEY PICK THE SCRIPTURES FOR THE SETTING AND IT REALLY COMES ALIVE BECAUSE YOU'RE THERE.
• 02:59 LEAVING TSFAT, WE GO NORTH AND THEN EAST ABOVE THE SEA OF GALILEE TO BANIAS,
• 03:06 KNOWN IN THE BIBLE AS CAESAREA PHILIPPI.
• 03:10 IT WAS HERE THAT JESUS TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLE, "UPON THIS ROCK, I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH."
• 03:16 HERE ZOLA OPENS THE SCRIPTURES TO US.
• 03:18 WE'RE IN A VERY UNUSUAL LOCATION IN ISRAEL
• 03:22 HERE IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS NEAR THE VILLAGE OF KIRYAT SHMONA IS CAESAREA PHILIPPI.
• 03:28 IT'S MENTIONED IN THE SCRIPTURES, OF COURSE.
• 03:31 IT'S HIGH UP ABOVE GALILEE NEAR THE LEBANESE BORDER
• 03:37 AND THE WATER COMES DOWN HERE FROM MT. HERMON AND THE SNOW MELTS AND GOES INTO POOLS HERE
• 03:46 AND EVENTUALLY FORMS THE NORTH JORDAN RIVER AND THAT IN TURN
• 03:50 FLOWS INTO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SEA OF GALILEE
• 03:54 AND THAT FRESH WATER, FULL OF FISH, FORMS THAT LAKE.
• 03:58 THEN THE JORDAN, BY THE WAY, CONTINUES ON DOWN SOUTH
• 04:01 GATHERING THE PARTICLES OF EARTH AND REACHES THE DEAD SEA
• 04:06 AND THERE IT IS SO SALTY THERE ARE NO FISH AND SO ON.
• 04:10 IT DESCRIBES OUR LORD BECAUSE HE BEGINS COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN LIKE THE SNOW ON MT. HERMON,
• 04:17 THEN INTO THE SEA OF GALILEE, FRESH LIVING WATER.
• 04:20 THAT'S WHERE HIS MINISTRY WAS AT CAPERNAUM ON THE SEASHORE OF THE SEA OF GALILEE
• 04:25 AND THE IT FLOWED DOWN, HIS CAREER IN THE EARTH, GATHERING UP THE PARTICLES,
• 04:30 THE SALT OF THE EARTH, US, AND THE WATER BECOMES HEAVY WITH THE SALT OF THE EARTH
• 04:36 AND AS IT GETS DOWN TO THE DEAD SEA, IT IS SO SALTY THAT EVERYTHING DIES AND OF COURSE,
• 04:42 CHRIST DIED, BUT THE WATER DOES NOT STAY THERE IN THE DEAD SEA.
• 04:46 IT EVAPORATES AND GOES BACK TO HEAVEN AS CHRIST ASCENDED TO HIS FATHER
• 04:51 AND THEN THE PREVAILING WINDS DRIVE IT UP NORTH AGAIN,
• 04:55 AND IT FALLS BACK DOWN ON MT. HERMON AS SNOW AND IT GOES AROUND AGAIN.
• 04:59 THIS WATER HAS BEEN IN THIS LAND-LOCKED CYCLE
• 05:02 SINCE THE GOSPEL TIMES AND SINCE THE BEGINNING, I SUPPOSE.
• 05:07 IT'S VERY SYMBOLIC OF THE MINISTRY OF OUR LORD.
• 05:12 WE HEAR BUSES COMING AND GOING, TOURISTS COMING AND GOING TO THIS PLACE.
• 05:15 PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COME HERE AND THEY ALWAYS DID.
• 05:19 THIS WAS A PLACE WHERE GREEK AND ROMAN GODS WERE COMMEMORATED.
• 05:23 ALL THESE COLUMNS, THESE PILLARS AND SO ON ARE RUINS FROM TEMPLES THAT WERE HERE.
• 05:28 UP IN THE ROCK BEHIND ME, YOU CAN SEE ARCHES AND NICHES,
• 05:32 PLACES WHERE STATUES OF GODS WERE.
• 05:35 PAN, THE GREEK GOD, WHO WAS HALF AN ANIMAL AND HALF A MAN
• 05:41 THAT SCARED WOMEN AND CAUSED THEM TO PANIC
• 05:44 AND THE WORD THE WORD "PANIC" IS OUT OF THAT GREEK PAN.
• 05:47 HE IS COMMEMORATED HERE IN MANY TEMPLES AND NICHES AND SO FORTH.
• 05:55 JESUS CAME HERE.
• 05:59 IT SAYS IN MATTHEW 16:13
• 06:10 HIS MINISTRY HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE.
• 06:12 HE'D SHOWN MANY SIGNS AND WONDERS AND SO HE WAS ASKING IF IT HAD AN EFFECT AND THEY SAID
• 06:37 THIS IS KNOWN AS PETER'S CONFESSION, A FAMOUS PASSAGE IN SEVERAL GOSPELS.
• 07:03 IT'S A VERY INTERESTING PASSAGE BECAUSE IT'S WELL KNOWN THE GREEK TERM FOR PETER, CEPHUS
• 07:10 IS LITTLE ROCK OR I SHOULD SAY, PETROS IS A ROCK AND HE IS MAKING A PLAY ON WORDS.
• 07:18 YOU ARE A ROCK AND UPON THIS ROCK I'LL BUILD MY CHURCH.
• 07:21 IT'S NOT THAT HE'S SAYING YOU'LL BE THE FIRST POPE OR ANYTHING OF THAT SORT,
• 07:25 HE DID NOT BUILD HIS CHURCH ON PETER AND IN 1 PETER 2, THAT'S MADE CLEAR.
• 07:30 CHRIST IS THE ROCK ON WHICH THE CHURCH IS BUILT,
• 07:34 THE CORNERSTONE OF THE BUILDING WHOM THE BUILDERS REJECTED.
• 07:37 BUT, HE MAKES THIS PLAY ON PETER'S WORDS AND I WONDER IF THERE'S NOT A SECOND PLAY HERE
• 07:43 BECAUSE IN THE ROCK BEHIND ME, AND LOOK AT THIS ROCK, THIS MOUNTAIN HERE,
• 07:49 THIS FACE, IN THE MIDST OF MOSTLY PLAINS,
• 07:52 I MEAN THERE ARE HILLS IN THIS GOLAN, BUT IT'S UNUSUAL TO FIND A ROCK LIKE THIS
• 07:57 AND THESE NICHES CARVED WITH THE ROMAN AND GREEK GODS IN THEIR PLACES WHEN JESUS WAS HERE,
• 08:04 WAS HE MAYBE NOT IMPLYING "ON THIS ROCK, ON THESE GREEK AND ROMAN PAGAN GODS,
• 08:09 I'LL BUILD MY CHURCH" AND IN THE END, HE REALLY DID START OUT HIS CHURCH,
• 08:15 OF COURSE IN ISRAEL, BUT THEN IN GREECE AND THEN IN ROME, THE HOME OF THESE VERY GODS.
• 08:21 AND AFTER THE LORD'S DIFFERENT PLAYS ON WORDS HERE, HE GOES ON THIS WAY.
• 08:38 PETER USED THOSE KEYS.
• 08:40 THEY ARE THE KEYS AS THE SCOFEILD BIBLE POINTS OUT,
• 08:49 PETER USED THE KEYS TO OPEN CHRISTIAN PROFESSION TO THE JEWS
• 08:54 AND THROUGHOUT HIS MINISTRY HE WAS CALLED THE GREAT APOSTLE AND TO THE GENTILES AT CAESAREA.
• 09:04 HE PREACHED THE SERMON AT PENTECOST
• 09:06 WHERE ALL JEWISH PEOPLE LISTENED AND 3000 WERE SAVED
• 09:09 AND HE WAS PRESENT A FEW DAYS LATER AT ACTS 4
• 09:13 WHEN 5000 MORE WERE SAVED
• 09:15 AND THEN IN CORNELIUS' HOUSE, THE FIRST GENTILES WERE SAVED.
• 09:19 SO, PETER USED THOSE KEYS.
• 09:21 NOW, THE TEACHING GOES ON FOR A WHILE
• 09:25 THEN THE DISCIPLES SEE THE TRANSFIGURATION, AN AMAZING SIGHT.
• 09:29 THE NEXT CHAPTER, 17 BEGINS
• 09:51 PETER WANTED TO BUILD THREE TABERNACLES AT THAT POINT FOR THESE PERSONALITIES.
• 09:55 WHAT A SIGHT THIS WAS.
• 09:57 IT IS USUALLY TAUGHT THAT THIS IS A GLIMPSE OF THE KINGDOM AND I LIKE THE TEACHING.
• 10:02 THE BIBLE HERE SAYS THE TRANSFIGURATION SCENE, THIS IS SCOFIELD NOTED,
• 10:17 BECAUSE HE GLOWS WHITE AS IN THE KINGDOM.
• 10:27 AND THEN ELIJAH, OF COURSE, WHO WAS TRANSLATED LIKE THE CHURCH,
• 10:30 DIRECTLY INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
• 10:33 SO, THE TRANSFIGURATION THEY SAW WAS A GLIMPSE AHEAD OF THE KINGDOM TO COME.
• 10:40 THIS TRANSFIGURATION ITSELF IS USUALLY SAID TO HAVE HAPPENED ON MT. TABOR
• 10:45 AND THAT WAS THE CHOICE OF QUEEN HELENA.
• 10:50 HER SON CONSTANTINE, WHO DELIGHTED IN GOING THROUGH THE HOLY LAND
• 10:53 AND JUST ALMOST, WILLY-NILLY, PICKING OUT ALL THESE SIGHTS.
• 10:56 I RATHER SUSPECT THAT MR. TABOR, WHICH IS A 1000 FT. HILL IN THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON
• 11:04 WAS NOT REALLY THE SITE BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY AT CAESAREA PHILIPPI,
• 11:09 AND ALTHOUGH IT SAYS
• 11:15 HE COULD HAVE, IN 6 DAYS GOTTEN DOWN TO MT. TABOR,
• 11:18 BUT I RATHER THINK THEY WERE IN THESE PARTS
• 11:20 AND HE TOOK THEM INSTEAD UP THE MOUNTAIN,
• 11:22 PERHAPS AT MT. HERMON OR IN THOSE MOUNTAINS SURROUNDING THAT RIDGE,
• 11:28 WHICH ARE INFINITELY HIGHER THAN TABOR
• 11:30 AND WOULD PRESENT A MAGNIFICENT SCENE OF THE TRANSFIGURATION.
• 11:35 SO, I FAVOR THE IDEA THAT THE TRANSFIGURATION WAS UP HERE IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS,
• 11:40 NORTH OF THE SEA OF GALILEE, RATHER THAN DOWN THERE IN THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON.
• 11:46 BUT, IN VIEW OF THEM TAKING THAT SITE,
• 11:50 PEOPLE HAVE COME TO SAY IT ALMOST AS IF IT'S IN THE SCRIPTURE.
• 11:53 IT DOES NOT SAY IN THE SCRIPTURE, WHICH MOUNTAIN THE TRANSFIGURATION OCCURRED.
• 12:19 FOR A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE EAST,
• 12:23 ASK FOR ZOLA'S FREE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, THE LEVITT LETTER.
• 12:31 ZOLA'S NEW KINGDOM CATALOG DESCRIBES HIS, BOOKS, TEACHING TAPES AND CORRESPONDENCE COURSE.
• 12:38 FOR ZOLA'S FREE NEWSLETTER AND CATALOG
• 12:49 WELL, WE HAD QUITE A DRIVING TOUR TODAY.
• 12:51 THIS IS THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 12:53 ALL OF THIS IS THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
• 12:55 WE ARE STAYING HERE IN THE CITY OF TIBERIAS
• 12:58 AND WE'RE UP HERE AT A KIBBUTZ CALLED NOF GINOSAR AND WE STARTED OUT EARLY THIS MORNING.
• 13:03 WE DROVE NORTH ALONG THESE ROADS UP INTO ZEFAT, IN ENGLISH SAFED,
• 13:10 AN ARTIST COLONY AND RELIGIOUS CITY.
• 13:14 A CITY OF REAL IMPORTANCE IN IT'S TIME.
• 13:16 THEN WE DROVE TO ROSH PINA AND UP THIS HIGHWAY INTO THE GOLAN HEIGHTS,
• 13:23 WAY UP TO KIRYAT SHEMONAH, A VILLAGE VERY FAMOUS.
• 13:27 IT'S SHELLED EVERY SO OFTEN FROM THE SYRIAN BORDER, RATHER THE LEBANESE BORDER.
• 13:32 THIS SAYS LEBANON IN HEBREW AND WE WERE RIGHT HERE.
• 13:37 THEN WE CONTINUED NORTH AND CROSSED TO DAN,
• 13:43 WAY UP HERE WHERE THERE'S THE TEL DAN
• 13:45 AT WHICH THE FAMOUS "HOUSE OF DAVID" STONE WAS FOUND IN AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG.
• 13:51 WE VISITED THAT DIG.
• 13:53 THEN WE WENT NEXT TO CAESAREA PHILIPPI
• 13:56 WHERE THE LORD GAVE PETER THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM.
• 14:02 WE CONTINUED ON THEN THROUGH HIGH MOUNTAINS UP HERE AT THE NORTHERN GOLAN,
• 14:08 DOWN THE ROAD ON THIS SIDE, CLOSE TO THE BORDER WITH SYRIA.
• 14:13 WE EXAMINED ISRAELI BUNKERS VERY NEAR THE BORDER WITH SYRIA.
• 14:18 THIS SAYS SYRIA
• 14:20 THERE ARE BUNKERS HERE THAT WE WALKED INTO, DUGOUTS UNDERGROUND BARRACKS AND SO FORTH.
• 14:28 ♪ ♪
• 15:29 AND THEN WE CONTINUED DOWN A MAJOR ROAD, THROUGH THE HEIGHTS
• 15:33 DOWN HERE TO THE LARGE CITY OF KATZRIN, THE LARGEST CITY IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
• 15:39 HERE WE ARE TAKING A SHORT BREAK AND THEN WE WILL CONTINUE ON A HIGHWAY
• 15:44 DOWN TO THE NORTH END OF THE SEA OF GALILEE AND DOWN TO, WHAT'S CALLED,
• 15:50 A PEACE VISTA HERE AT KFAR HARUV, WHERE WE CAN SEE ON THE EDGE OF THE HILL,
• 15:55 ALL ACROSS HERE TO THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON WITH MANY MOUNTAIN PEAKS OF BIBLICAL PLACES.
• 16:02 THEN WE'LL TAKE THIS ROAD DOWN BY THE SOUTH OF THE SEA,
• 16:05 VERY CLOSE TO THE BORDER WITH THE THIRD ARAB COUNTRY, JORDAN.
• 16:10 THAT'S JORDAN, BUT WE'LL COME AROUND THIS WAY, NOT CROSSING THE BORDER,
• 16:15 BUT GOING AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA OF GALILEE, SHA'AR HaGOLAN
• 16:20 AND WE PASS THROUGH THIS AREA SOUTH BACK UP TO TIBERIAS.
• 16:27 THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE THE JORDAN RIVER COMES OUT OF THE SEA OF GALILEE
• 16:31 AND WHERE WE BAPTIZED OUR PEOPLE IN THE JORDAN.
• 16:35 THEN CONTINUING BACK THROUGH TIBERIAS AND UP TO OUR KIBBUTZ AT NOF GINOSAR.
• 16:41 A DAY OF A BIG CIRCULAR DRIVE, A LOT OF BIBLICAL SITES
• 16:46 AND A LOT OF PEACE AND QUIET AS ALWAYS.
• 16:49 ♪ ♪
• 17:17 WELL, VERY GOOD, THANKS TONY. BEAUTIFUL GALILEE.
• 17:21 NOW WE'LL GO TO THE WEST BANK.
• 17:24 JONI AND STUART LIVE IN WHAT THE WORLD CALLS A SETTLEMENT.
• 17:29 SETTLERS DON'T THINK OF THEMSELVES AS SETTLERS
• 17:32 ANY MORE THAN AMERICAN INDIANS WHO ARE NATIVE HERE,
• 17:34 WOULD THINK OF THEMSELVES AS SETTLERS OR OCCUPIERS IN THIS COUNTRY.
• 17:38 IN ANY CASE, THEY LIVE OUT THERE AND THEY'VE MADE QUITE AN INTERESTING LIFE FOR THEMSELVES
• 17:43 AND WE'RE GOING THERE NOW AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THEIR SETTLEMENT, ANATOT,
• 17:48 WHICH OUR MINISTRY, BY THE WAY, ADOPTED.
• 17:50 WE'VE PLANTED A LOT OF OLIVE TREES OUT THERE, BUILT SOME SECURITY EQUIPMENT AND SO ON.
• 17:54 KIND OF A LITTLE TWIN CITY ARRANGEMENT WITH A SMALL PART OF THE HOLY LAND.
• 18:00 NOW, TO ANATOT.
• 18:02 THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REASONS WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO LIVE IN A SETTLEMENT.
• 18:07 THERE IS THE IDEOLOGICAL REASON,
• 18:09 FULFILLING THE PROPHECIES OF GOD TO SETTLE THE LAND.
• 18:14 ANOTHER REASON MIGHT BE QUALITY OF LIFE,
• 18:18 BEING ABLE TO GET A FREESTANDING HOUSE INSTEAD OF AN APARTMENT.
• 18:23 ANOTHER REASON MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF PRICE.
• 18:26 BECAUSE THERE IS A CERTAIN DANGER IN LIVING OUT HERE,
• 18:29 THE PRICES ARE LOWER THAN THEY ARE IN THE CITY.
• 18:32 WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE WAS MY ZIONISTIC BELIEF.
• 18:36 THIS LAND IS BIBLICAL, JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
• 18:41 WE'RE LIVING IN JUDEA.
• 18:42 WE LIVE IN THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN AND BECAUSE OF OUR ZIONISTIC FEELING
• 18:49 THAT WE NEED TO SETTLE THE LAND, IT BROUGHT US HERE.
• 18:52 A GREAT VIEW, A GREAT SKY, GREAT GROUND,
• 18:58 ALSO LOVELY PEOPLE.
• 19:03 I THINK IT'S THE BEST OF ISRAEL, THE BEST PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LIVING IN ANATOT.
• 19:08 WE'RE LIKE ONE FAMILY.
• 19:10 THE LITTLE OLIVE TREES THAT YOU SEE THESE CHILDREN WITH,
• 19:14 WERE PROVIDED THROUGH ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES.
• 19:16 THANKS TO THE GENEROUS GIFTS OF OUR VIEWING AUDIENCE,
• 19:19 WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ANATOT A FUTURE FOREST AND AS YOU IMAGINE,
• 19:24 TREES ARE A TREASURE IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
• 19:27 WHAT A WONDERFUL INVESTMENT IT'S BEEN,
• 19:29 CHILDREN AND TREES GROWING UP TOGETHER IN THE PROMISED LAND.
• 19:37 (SINGING IN HEBREW)
• 20:03 WE ARE AT THE MAIN GATE OF THE SETTLEMENT.
• 20:05 HERE IS A SIGN, I'M SURE YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS.
• 20:07 HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS, THIS WORD UP HERE IS BENJAMIN.
• 20:10 OUTSIDE THE CITIES OF ISRAEL, AND THE COUNTRY IS DIVIDED INTO REGIONAL COUNCILS.
• 20:15 WE ARE IN THE BENJAMIN REGIONAL COUNCIL.
• 20:18 IT SAYS BENJAMIN.
• 20:20 HERE IT SAYS, COMMUNITY WITHOUT A STOP AND HERE IT SHOWS OUR HOMES AND OF COURSE,
• 20:28 BEHIND US IS THE NEWEST DEVELOPMENT IN THE SETTLEMENT, STAGE 5.
• 20:35 IN THE COURSE OF 20 YEARS, IT'S ONLY NATURAL THAT PEOPLE THAT HAD LITTLE BABIES,
• 20:39 THE CHILDREN GROW UP, THEY GET MARRIED, AND THEY WANT HOMES.
• 20:42 THESE HOMES ARE FOR THE CHILDREN OF RESIDENTS OF THE SETTLEMENT
• 20:46 AND ALSO FOR NEW PEOPLE THAT MAY WANT TO COME HERE TO LIVE.
• 20:49 NOW, IT IS OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF OUR, EXCUSE ME, OUTSIDE THE FENCE OF OUR SETTLEMENT,
• 20:55 BUT THE FENCE WILL BE EXTENDED TO ENCOMPASS THIS ALSO AS A RESULT OF THE RECENT INTIFADA
• 21:01 AND THE TERRIBLE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE COUNTRY.
• 21:04 ARAB WORKERS ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE SETTLEMENT.
• 21:08 WE ARE PRESENTLY OUTSIDE THE FENCE OF THE SETTLEMENT
• 21:11 AND THESE ARE ARAB WORKERS THAT ARE WORKING HERE.
• 21:13 MANY BUILDERS THAT I KNOW HAVE SWITCHED TO ROMANIAN WORKERS OR THAI WORKERS OR OTHERS.
• 21:20 MUCH OF THE BUILDING WORK IN ISRAEL HAS BEEN DONE BY ARABS.
• 21:25 IN THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE STATE, IT WAS THE NEWCOMERS THAT DID ALL THE BUILDING,
• 21:29 BUT, TODAY IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
• 21:31 WHEN I BUILT MY HOUSE, I BUILT THE WINDOWS WITHOUT BARS ON THE WINDOWS.
• 21:37 IT WAS A LOVELY VIEW TO SEE.
• 21:39 SO, I HAVE TO MAKE BARS ON MY WINDOWS,
• 21:42 BUT THAN ARABS CAME INTO THE HOUSE OF PEOPLE IN SOME SETTLEMENTS SO WE GET AFRAID.
• 21:49 OUR MINISTRY HAS ALSO PROVIDED THE SECURITY SYSTEM FOR ANATOT,
• 21:54 A SYSTEM THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN DETAIL ON A PAST PROGRAM.
• 21:58 STUART TELLS US ABOUT A VERY UNIQUE SECURITY DEVICE, LOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE TO ANATOT.
• 22:05 THIS THING TAKES A PICTURE AND IDENTIFIES EVERY CAR COMING INTO THE SETTLEMENT.
• 22:09 IF IT IS A CAR BELONGING TO A MEMBER OF THE SETTLEMENT, IT CAN OPEN THE GATE AUTOMATICALLY.
• 22:14 IF THAT LICENSE PLATE NUMBER IS NOT RECOGNIZED
• 22:17 BY THE INFORMATION IN THIS COMPUTER HERE, THE GATE DOES NOT OPEN.
• 22:21 IF IN THE EVENT THAT CAR IS A SUSPICIOUS VEHICLE,
• 22:25 IF IT HAS BEEN STOLEN OR BEEN INVOLVED IN TERRORIST ACTS,
• 22:28 A RED LIGHT IMMEDIATELY GOES ON, A PROCEDURE BEGINS TO SUMMON THE POLICE HERE BECAUSE OF THAT CAR.
• 22:35 IN A NEGOTIATION, EACH SIDE DOES NOT GET EVERYTHING THAT THEY WANT
• 22:42 EVEN IN THE VERY, VERY GENEROUS AND EXCESSIVE OFFER THAT EHUD BARAK OFFERED TO YASSER ARAFAT
• 22:50 AT CAMP DAVID, ALL THE SETTLEMENTS WERE NOT TO GO. OK.
• 22:54 AND THE BULK OF JEWISH SETTLEMENT IS CONCENTRATED IN CERTAIN AREAS.
• 22:58 THE ARABS, THE SO CALLED PALESTINIANS ALREADY CONTROL 90% OF THEIR POPULATION OR MORE
• 23:06 SO WHERE THE SETTLEMENTS ARE LOCATED, THEY ARE LOCATED NEXT TO,
• 23:10 WHAT IS CONSIDERED THE GREEN LINE, WHAT IS CONSIDERED ISRAEL
• 23:13 AND CAN EASILY BE ABSORBED INTO ISRAEL WITHOUT ASKING US TO LEAVE.
• 23:17 DON'T FORGET THE JEWS WERE HERE MORE THAN 1000 YEARS BEFORE THE MUSLIM CONQUEST
• 23:22 AND WHEN THE ARABS STARTED MOVING INTO THE VILLAGES
• 23:24 AND TAKING OVER THE VILLAGES, ONE OF THE STRANGE THINGS IS,
• 23:28 THEY KEPT THE NAMES THAT WERE IN EXISTENCE.
• 23:31 THOSE NAMES WERE EITHER HEBREW NAMES OR MORE LIKELY ARAMAIC NAMES.
• 23:36 AS AN EXAMPLE, THERE'S A VILLAGE DIRECTLY WEST OF US CALLED ANATA.
• 23:42 NOW THAT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF ANATOT.
• 23:45 THERE'S A VILLAGE THAT'S SLIGHTLY NORTHWEST OF US CALLED HISMA,
• 23:50 THAT'S IN THE BIBLE ALSO, THAT'S AZMOVIT.
• 23:53 IF YOU CHECK THE NAMES OF ALL THE ARAB VILLAGES, THEY WERE ALL ONCE JEWISH VILLAGES.
• 23:57 THE ONLY THING THAT THE ARABS BUILT HERE WAS AN ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER AT RAMALLAH
• 24:03 AND THEY NEVER MADE JERUSALEM A CAPITOL.
• 24:07 JERUSALEM WAS NEVER AN ARAB CAPITOL.
• 24:11 THESE RAINBOWS WERE A SIGN TO ME PERSONALLY THAT GOD'S HAND IS ON THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 24:16 THAT HIS PROMISES NEVER FAIL.
• 24:20 A WORD FROM GOD IS A WORD FROM GOD.
• 24:22 A PROMISE FROM GOD IS HIS PROMISE AND HE PROMISED US TO ALWAYS BE WITH US,
• 24:28 NEVER TO LEAVE US, NEVER TO FORSAKE US AND HE WILL NOT.
• 24:32 OUR PURPOSE AND OUR OBLIGATION AT THIS MOMENT IS TO BE FAITHFUL TO WHAT HE CALLS US TO DO,
• 24:39 WHETHER IT'S BY PRAYING FOR ISRAEL, PRAYING FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 24:44 PRAYING FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD AND HELPING THE SOLDIERS,
• 24:49 UPLIFTING THEM, ENCOURAGING THEM.
• 24:51 WHATEVER IT IS THAT GOD IS ASKING US TO DO TO BE FAITHFUL TO THAT
• 24:57 AND TO GIVE HIM THE GLORY AND THE HONOR AND THE PRAISE.
• 25:01 ♪ ♪
• 25:44 WELL, YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN AN AGE OF WORLD POLITICAL PRESSURE TO GET THE JEWS OUT OF,
• 25:49 NOT JUST THE WHOLE SO CALLED WEST BANK, BUT OUT OF ISRAEL ENTIRELY
• 25:53 AND YET IT'S CLEAR IN SCRIPTURE THAT THE LAND WAS GIVEN TO THEM.
• 25:57 GENESIS 13:14 IS A GOOD ONE.
• 26:17 I OFTEN STRESS, FOREVER AN EVERLASTING COVENANT, GOD SAID.
• 26:22 SO, IT DOESN'T GO OUT OF DATE AND IT'S STILL IN FORCE
• 26:26 AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IN EFFECT, WHAT THE WORLD SAYS.
• 26:29 BUT, WHEN THEY SAY IT, WHEN THEY SAY THEJEWS HAVE TO LEAVE, ETC.
• 26:33 YOU KNOW THAT IT'S AN END-TIMES EVENT.
