Caption transcript for The Crusaders: “The Humble Knight” (7/8)

• 00:05 IN 1095 POPE URBAN THE SECOND >>DECREED THAT THE CENTER OF THE >>KNOWN WORLD, JERUSALEM,
• 00:11 SHOULD BE FREED FROM MUSLIM CONTROL.
• 00:15 SPURRED BY RELIGIOUS FERVOR, WARRIORS MARCHED UNABATED
• 00:19 ACROSS EUROPE TOWARDS THE HOLY LAND,
• 00:21 LEAVING DEATH AND DEVASTATION IN THEIR WAKE.
• 00:23 IN THE END, UPWARDS OF 30,000 >>MUSLIMS AND JEWS WERE MASSACRED >>IN JERUSALEM, ALONE.
• 00:31 THIS WAS CALLED "A HOLY WAR".
• 00:34 THESE WERE THE CRUSADERS.
• 00:40 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 00:41 WELCOME BACK TO OUR SERIES ON THE CRUSADERS.
• 00:45 WE'RE GOING TO TALK TODAY ABOUT >>THE GENERALS OF BOTH SIDES.
• 00:49 THERE'S A WONDERFUL DISPLAY OF >>HORSEMEN AND YOU'LL SEE IT SHORTLY,
• 00:54 AT DAVID'S CITADEL AND TELL MANY >>STORIES ABOUT THE CRUSADES.
• 00:59 THE CRUSADERS FELL ON JERUSALEM.
• 01:01 THEY STARTED OUT ON THE COASTLINE AROUND CAESEREA AND CAME THROUGH THE LAND,
• 01:06 FINALLY CONQUERED JERUSALEM, CONQUERED THE TEMPLE MOUNT,
• 01:10 THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY >>SEPULCHER, VERY CRITICAL SITES.
• 01:13 WE ARE GOING TO TALK WITH PASTOR VAN DER HOEVEN LATER IN THE PROGRAM,
• 01:18 A MESSIANIC MINISTER IN JERUSALEM WHO BY THE WAY, WAS ARRESTED ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 01:24 THERE'S A STORY.
• 01:24 WE'RE GOING TO LOCATION AT DAVID'S CITADEL IN JERUSALEM, NOW.
• 01:30 THE BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM BETWEEN THE CRUSADERS AND THE LOCAL MUSLIMS
• 01:35 WAS ONE OF THE MOST ROMANTICIZED >>CHAPTERS OF THE CRUSADES.
• 01:40 IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 12TH CENTURY
• 01:42 AND IT'S COMMEMORATED WITH STATUES HERE ON HORSEBACK.
• 01:47 BEHIND ME THE FRENCH RENALD DE CHATILLON
• 01:52 WHO WAS LEADER OF THE CRUSADERS >>AND THE ARAB GENTLEMEN CONQUEROR, SALADIN,
• 02:00 WHO EVENTUALLY WRESTED JERUSALEM >>FROM THE CRUSADERS.
• 02:05 THE TEMPLE MOUNT WAS A MAJOR ISSUE AND THE HOLY SEPULCHER CHURCH,
• 02:10 BOTH OF WHICH ARE STILL ISSUES TODAY, UP ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT,
• 02:14 THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, >>DISCOVERED THE DOME OF THE ROCK >>WITH ITS GOLDEN DOME.
• 02:20 IT WAS THERE JUST AS IT IS TODAY
• 02:23 AND BAD BIBLE READERS, THEY >>THOUGHT IT WAS SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
• 02:27 NOT EVEN HEROD'S TEMPLE, BUT SOLOMON'S.
• 02:29 THEY WENT BACK A TEMPLE AND IMAGINED THAT THIS WAS TEMPLUM DOMINI,
• 02:34 THE TEMPLE OF THE KING, THE RULER.
• 02:37 THEY PUT A CROSS ON TOP OF IT MADE IT INTO A CHURCH
• 02:43 AND I ALWAYS SAY AT THIS POINT >>IN HISTORY,
• 02:46 BECAUSE, YOU SEE, THE DOME OF THE ROCK ITSELF IS BUILT ON ROMAN PILLARS
• 02:51 THAT WERE STANDING SINCE THE 2ND CENTURY
• 02:54 WHEN THE ROMANS HAD PUT A TEMPLE >>OF JUPITER ON THE MOUNT
• 02:57 AND THIS WAS A WAY OF DISCOURAGING THE JEWS FROM COMING UP THERE AND PRAYING,
• 03:02 EVEN THOUGH THE TEMPLE MOUNT WAS >>THEIR HOLY SITE FROM WHEN THE TEMPLE REALLY WAS THERE.
• 03:08 SO, WHEN THEY PUT THE CROSS UP THERE,
• 03:10 THEY PUT A CHRISTIAN CROSS ON >>A MUSLIM DOME ON ROMAN PILLARS >>ON JEWISH LAND.
• 03:17 THAT'S THE STORY OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 03:18 TODAY YOU CAN ALMOST SAY, HERE'S THE AL AQSA MOSQUE, DOME OF THE ROCK,
• 03:22 THE ARAB POLICE, THE WAQF, THE PEOPLE DIGGING UNDER THE PLATFORM
• 03:27 AND THEN THERE'S THE JEWS WANTING TO COME UP AND PRAY.
• 03:31 IT'S STILL IN CONTENTION.
• 03:32 IT'S STILL AN ISSUE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEARLY 1000 YEARS AGO.
• 03:37 THEY MAINTAINED THE KNIGHT'S TEMPLAR, THEIR GARRISON THERE
• 03:44 AND PROTECTED THE DOME AS IF IT WERE A JEWISH TEMPLE.
• 03:47 THE HOLY SEPULCHER CHURCH, IT IS THE SITE OF THE LORD'S BURIAL,
• 03:52 ALTHOUGH WE'RE NOT DEAD SURE, BUT, IT'S A PRETTY GOOD SITE FOR IT AND WAS BUILT OVER,
• 03:58 I BELIEVE THE 4TH CENTURY AND THEN IMPROVED OVER TIME.
• 04:01 IT'S A VERY OLD CHURCH, IT WAS >>OLD WHEN THE CRUSADERS CAME
• 04:05 AND OF COURSE THEY THOUGHT OF IT >>AS A MOST HOLY SITE
• 04:09 AND WHILE THE CRUSADERS ARE OFTEN FAULTED,
• 04:12 AND SHOULD BE FOR THE KILLING,
• 04:13 FOR THE WANTON SLAUGHTER, FOR THE PLUNDER, >>AMONG THEM WERE TRUE BELIEVERS.
• 04:19 AMONG THOSE TRUE BELIEVERS WAS >>AN INDIVIDUAL NAMED BAXTER,
• 04:25 A BRITISH KNIGHT WHO WAS KNOWN >>AS THE "HUMBLE KNIGHT".
• 04:29 WHY, BECAUSE THE OTHER KNIGHTS >>THOUGHT IT A GOOD WORK
• 04:32 TO SLEEP INSIDE THE HOLY SEPULCHER CHURCH
• 04:35 NEAR THE TOMB OF THE LORD AND THEY DID THAT AT NIGHT.
• 04:38 THEY WENT INTO-- ALSO IT WAS GOOD PROTECTION,
• 04:41 BUT THEY WENT INTO THE STONE CHURCH
• 04:42 AND SLEPT AS CLOSE TO THE LORD'S >>GRAVE, OSTENSIBLY, AS THEY POSSIBLY COULD.
• 04:48 BUT, BAXTER, >>"THE HUMBLE KNIGHT", WOULD NOT >>SLEEP INSIDE THE CHURCH
• 04:53 AND FELT HE WAS NOT WORTHY TO SLEEP IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD
• 04:56 AND SO HE SLEPT OUTSIDE THE DOOR >>AND HIS TOMB IS STILL THERE,
• 05:02 OUTSIDE AS YOU COME INTO THE >>CHURCH, THERE A WOODEN PLATFORM
• 05:06 THAT CAN BE LIFTED, UNDER THAT >>IS A TOMB AND THE REAL BELIEVER'S TOMB,
• 05:11 A CHRISTIAN IS BURIED IN FRONT >>OF THE HOLY SEPULCHER CHURCH.
• 05:16 THE BATTLE RAGED ON, THE ARABS HAD A MUCH SHORTER SUPPLY LINE.
• 05:20 THE CRUSADERS DIDN'T KNOW THE LOCAL TEMPERATURES,
• 05:25 THE POPULOUS, THE CUSTOMS, THEY >>WEREN'T VERY COMFORTABLE HERE
• 05:33 AND THEY WERE PRETTY WELL SURROUNDED.
• 05:35 THEY HAD PROVOKED MANY ARAB ARMIES DURING THE PREVIOUS CENTURY AND HALF,
• 05:40 OR HALF A CENTURY AND THEY FINALLY WERE CONQUERED BY SALADIN,
• 05:48 WHO IS CALLED THE GENTLEMAN CONQUEROR
• 05:50 BECAUSE WHEN HE ROUTED THE CRUSADERS OUT OF JERUSALEM,
• 05:53 HE LET THEM LEAVE WITH THEIR WIVES, THEIR CHILDREN, THEIR WEAPONS.
• 05:59 HE DIDN'T LAY A HAND ON ANYONE >>BECAUSE EVEN IN HIS MIND, THIS IS THE CITY OF GOD.
• 06:06 THAT BEGAN, WELL IT DIDN'T JUST >>BEGIN, THE LORD RODE A DONKEY INTO JERUSALEM.
• 06:12 THAT'S A HUMBLING THING TO DO.
• 06:14 THE LORD, WHO IS THE SON OF GOD COULD COME IN ON ANGEL'S WINGS,
• 06:18 BUT, HE CAME IN THE LOWLIEST ANIMAL.
• 06:20 THROUGH THE CENTURIES AND THROUGH THE MILLENNIA,
• 06:23 PEOPLE HAVE RESPECTED THE IDEA THAT THERE IS ONE CITY ON EARTH
• 06:26 THAT IS GOD'S CITY IN FACT, EVEN IN ETERNITY WHEN EARTH IS OVER WITH,
• 06:37 SO, WHEN GENERAL ALLENBY CAME >>HERE, HE GOT OFF HIS HORSE AND >>WITH DEEP RESPECT,
• 06:42 WALKED INTO THE JAFFA GATE, JUST ON MY RIGHT, TO ENTER THE CITY.
• 06:48 KEISER WILHELM OF GERMANY DID THE SAME THING.
• 06:52 THEODORE HERZL WALKED IN FROM A HOUSE A MILE AWAY, A LONG WALK
• 06:57 AND IN OUR OWN TIME, THERE'S A >>PARALLEL STORY
• 07:02 OF WHEN PRESIDENT REAGAN WANTED TO CALL ON THE METROPOLITAN OF RUSSIA,
• 07:08 SORT OF THE POPE OF THE RUSSIAN >>ORTHODOX CHURCH
• 07:11 AND THE POPE LIVES IN A PALACE >>SET BACK OF A LONG GREEN LAWN
• 07:17 AND THE ROAD DOESN'T COME CLOSE >>TO THE DOOR
• 07:20 AND OUR AMERICAN SECURITY MEN LOOKED AT THE SITUATION
• 07:24 AND REQUESTED THAT FOR REAGAN'S >>VISIT, THEY PAVE A ROAD
• 07:27 THAT WOULD LEAD RIGHT UP TO THE DOOR OF THE PALACE SO HE COULD >>WALK IN FROM THERE
• 07:33 AND NOT TO CROSS THAT OPEN EXPANSE.
• 07:35 THE ANSWER FROM INSIDE THE PALACE WAS
• 07:38 "NO, THERE WILL BE NO NEW ROAD. ONE DOES NOT RIDE TO SEE GOD."
• 07:52 ASK FOR OUR FREE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, THE LEVITT LETTER
• 07:56 AND OUR CATALOG WITH VIDEOS, BOOKS AND MUSIC.
• 08:00 OUR CORRESPONDENCE COURSE, THE >>INSTITUTE OF JEWISH-CHRISTIAN STUDIES INCLUDES
• 08:05 READING PACKETS, TEACHING CASSETTES AND MAIL IN TESTS.
• 08:09 DID YOU KNOW THAT ZOLA TAKES TOURS TO ISRAEL,
• 08:12 GREECE AND THE HOLY LAND EXPERIENCE THEME PARK IN ORLANDO FL.
• 08:17 PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• 08:22 OUR TOURS, OF COURSE, >>HAVE SPEAKERS FROM THE HOLY LAND
• 08:26 AND PASTOR VAN DER HOEVEN HAS BEEN ONE OF THEM.
• 08:28 HE'S NOT THE KIND OF GUY THAT FADES BACK INTO THE WOODWORK.
• 08:32 HE'S ENERGETIC AND COLORFUL AND >>LOUD AND EXTREME IN HIS VIEWS >>AND AS I SAID, HE WAS ARRESTED.
• 08:39 HE WAS ARRESTED ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT FOR PRAYING UP THERE.
• 08:43 I WAS RUN OFF YEARS AGO FOR TAKING A BIBLE OUT
• 08:45 WHILE I WAS MAKING PROGRAM NEAR THE DOME OF THE ROCK ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 08:49 SO RELIGIOUSLY SENSITIVE ARE THE MUSLIMS
• 08:53 THAT THEY JUST RUN OFF ANYBODY >>PRAYING TO SOME OTHER GOD.
• 08:57 IT WOULD INTEREST PEOPLE TO THINK THEY'RE PRAYING TO THE SAME GOD,
• 08:59 BUT THE MUSLIM POLICE WILL ARREST YOU FOR PRAYING TO THE >>GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
• 09:07 ANYWAY, HERE'S REVEREND VAN DER HOEVEN.
• 09:10 JAN WILLEM VAN DER HOEVEN.
• 09:13 WE'VE CHECKED ON YOUR ADVENTURES >>EVERY SO OFTEN.
• 09:16 LATELY I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN ARRESTED.
• 09:18 WELL, THAT WAS IN RELATION TO OUR VISIT WITH THE GROUP
• 09:23 AT CHRISTIAN CELEBRATION OF THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES THAT WE CONDUCTED
• 09:28 AND I FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT THE LORD WANTED US,
• 09:31 NOW THAT "OFFICIALLY" THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HAS OPENED UP THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD,
• 09:41 THE TEMPLE MOUNT, TO VISITORS, >>NOT JUST MUSLIMS, BUT JEWS AND CHRISTIANS.
• 09:48 WE FELT WE WANTED TO GO ON TOP >>OF THE MOUNTAIN,
• 09:51 UP THERE WITH THE DOME OF THE ROCK AND THE AL AQSA MOSQUE.
• 09:53 WHERE THE TEMPLE MOUNT IS AND I WAS ARRESTED FOR LIFTING UP MY HANDS
• 10:00 AS I PRAYED OVER THE TEMPLE MOUNT, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE GOLDEN GATE
• 10:06 WHERE THE MESSIAH IS SUPPOSED TO COME.
• 10:08 MAYBE HE WASN'T CHARISMATIC.
• 10:10 NO, THE MUSLIMS ARE SO INTOLERANT AND ARE SOMETIMES SAID,
• 10:16 "YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE DEVIL, >>WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR GOD."
• 10:20 WHAT HE HATES, THE LORD OFTEN, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN, >>LOVES.
• 10:26 HE HATES THE JEWS, THE LORD OF COURSE, THE APPLE OF HIS EYES.
• 10:30 HE HATED PETER BECAUSE THE DEVIL >>KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE USED BY GOD, MIGHTILY
• 10:35 SO JESUS SAID THE DEVIL HAS >>WANTED TO SIFT YOU AS THE WHEAT >>BUT I'VE PRAYED FOR YOU.
• 10:41 THE TEMPLE MOUNT, I WAS 7 YEARS >>WARDEN OR CUSTODIAN OF THE GARDEN TOMB.
• 10:47 I PREACHED IN, PROBABLY, THE NICEST PULPIT
• 10:48 THAT A PASTOR CAN HAVE IN FRONT OF THE EMPTY TOMB.
• 10:52 I WAS NOW IN AMERICA AND I SIT >>IN A CHURCH AND I SAID,
• 10:57 YOU ALL GO TO THE EMPTY TOMB >>HERE JESUS WAS THREE DAYS DEAD
• 11:03 AND THE PLACE HE'S GOING TO BE >>1000 YEARS
• 11:06 TIMES 365 DAYS ALIVE IN MAJESTY AND GLORY, YOU LEAVE TO ISLAM.
• 11:14 I SAID, BUT YOU GO BACK TO THE TOMB WHICH I CAN TELL YOU,
• 11:18 HAVING PREACHED THERE FOR SEVEN YEARS, IS THE SUREST PLACE THAT >>JESUS WILL NOT RETURN TO.
• 11:23 HE WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS >>TOMB, BUT WE DO KNOW HE IS COMING FOR 1000 YEARS AND I,
• 11:30 GOD SAYS, HAVE SET MY KING, NOT IN THE EMPTY TOMB, BUT ON MY HOLY HILL.
• 11:38 WE TRIED TO DO THAT.
• 11:39 AND YOU WENT UP THERE ON THE MOUNT AND YOU FELT THAT YOU COULD PRAY.
• 11:42 I REMEMBER BOB SIMONS, HE MADE THIS PROGRAM WITH CHRISTIAN ZIONISM
• 11:48 AND OF COURSE, WAS A CYNICAL TWIST BEING THE REPORTER FOR CBS.
• 11:55 AREN'T SOME OF THE WORST CRITICS >>OF ISRAEL, JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 11:57 UNBELIEVABLE, HE CAN'T STAND THE CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN JEWISH ELEMENT.
• 12:02 SO HE SAW ME COMING WITH THE >>ARK, WE HAD A MODEL OF THE ARK >>AND HE SAID,
• 12:09 MR. VAN DER HOEVEN, CAN I ASK >>YOU SOME QUESTIONS, CAN WE HAVE >>OUR INTERVIEW HERE?
• 12:14 SO HE WANTED TO DRIVE ME IN THE CORNER FOR--
• 12:18 DO YOU WANT TO BRING ARMAGEDDON >>UPON US IN ISRAEL?
• 12:22 I SAID, LISTEN, I STUDIED IN ENGLAND, THEOLOGY,
• 12:26 IF THE MUSLIMS WOULD HAVE >>INVADED INSTEAD OF THE HOLY LAND
• 12:32 WHICH THEY DID IN THE 7TH CENTURY,
• 12:33 THEY WOULD HAVE INVADED BRITAIN >>AND BUILT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOSQUE OFFICE
• 12:38 IN PAUL'S CATHEDRAL AND THEN >>AFTER SOME YEARS WOULD HAVE TOLD >>THE BRITISH CHRISTIANS,
• 12:43 THIS IS NOW UNIQUELY A MUSLIM HOLY SITE,
• 12:45 PLEASE WILL GO OUT OF YOUR CHURCH, YOU CAN PRAY AT THE OUTSIDE WALL
• 12:50 AND EVEN THERE WE WILL THROW STONES OVER YOU AND SAY,
• 12:52 (BAKA INGLIM) SLAUGHTER THE ENGLISH CHRISTIANS.
• 12:56 I SAID DO YOU THINK, BOB SIMONS, >>THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
• 13:02 WOULD DEFEND THAT EXCLUSIVITY OF >>THE MUSLIMS SAYING
• 13:06 THAT ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL IS NO >>MORE A CHRISTIAN PLACE,
• 13:08 BUT IS SOLELY NOW FOR MUSLIMS WHO INVADED BRITAIN AND WOULD >>YOU THINK THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
• 13:17 WOULD SEND THE BRITISH POLICE TO DEFEND THE MUSLIMS IN THEIR EXCLUSIVITY,
• 13:21 LIKE THE ISRAELIS FOR ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS, WHICH WE WOULD CALL >>AS LIBERAL, FANATICS,
• 13:28 WHO WANT TO PRAY AS BRITISH CHRISTIANS, IN THE ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL
• 13:32 AND NOT ALLOWED BY THE BRITISH POLICE, LIKE THE ISRAELI POLICE
• 13:36 ARE NOT ALLOWING THEIR ORTHODOX >>TO PUT THEIR FEET
• 13:39 UPON THE TEMPLE MOUNT, NOT TO UPSET THE MUSLIMS.
• 13:42 THE FACT THAT THE DEVIL SAYS YOU >>CANNOT PRAY HERE,
• 13:46 MEANS THAT THERE IS A POWER SO NEGATIVE
• 13:48 THAT THIS IS HOW AFRAID YOU ARE >>OF CHRISTIANS PRAYING
• 13:53 THEN YOU HAVE ALERTED ME TO THE >>IMPORTANCE OF THIS HILL.
• 14:00 IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
• 14:01 WE'RE OUT OF TIME, BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY A SPELLBINDING PREACHER
• 14:05 AND I COULD LISTEN TO YOU ALL >>DAY AND THE POINT YOU MAKE ARE >>VERY WELL TAKEN.
• 14:11 THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH OUR AUDIENCE.
• 14:12 WELL, REV. VAN DER HOEVEN WAS ARRESTED AND THEN RELEASED PRETTY QUICKLY.
• 14:20 THEY DIDN'T WANT A SITUATION.
• 14:21 WHEN PEOPLE GO UP THERE AND PRAY >>TO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB,
• 14:26 REAL TROUBLE CAN RESULT, AS THEY SAY IT DID
• 14:29 WHEN ARIEL SHARON WENT INTO THE >>AL AQSA MOSQUE.
• 14:32 WELL, I WENT INTO THE AL AQSA MOSQUE 50 TIMES.
• 14:34 I PUT MY JEWISH FOOT DOWN ON THE STONES.
• 14:37 IT DIDN'T START AND INTIFADA.
• 14:39 THAT'S JERUSALEM.
• 14:42 THAT'S A CARNIVAL OF RELIGION.
• 14:43 IN THAT CARNIVAL, WE FOUND AN ARTIST, >>PAMELA SURAN, A FAMOUS ARTIST.
• 14:48 WE HAVE HER PAINTINGS.
• 14:49 THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL AND HER >>HUSBAND IS A MESSIANIC MINISTER
• 14:55 THAT IS, A RABBI, AS THEY WOULD CALL HIM THERE.
• 14:57 HE HAS A CONGREGATION OF JEWISH BELIEVERS AND WE DISCUSSED THE SITUATION OVER THERE WITH HIM.
• 15:04 WELL, SHMUEL, YOU HAVE SUCH AN >>INTERESTING LIFE.
• 15:09 YOU'RE A MESSIANIC PASTOR HERE IN ISRAEL, HAVE A CONGREGATION,
• 15:14 BUT I WAS INTERESTED IN YOUR TESTIMONY.
• 15:17 IT SOUNDED FASCINATING.
• 15:18 IT GOES BACK TO JUST WHEN I WAS SAVED.
• 15:20 I WAS SAVED IN 1971.
• 15:21 RIGHT ZOLA.
• 15:22 I WAS SAVED IN '72 RIGHT AFTER YOU
• 15:24 THROUGH, OF ALL THINGS, THE FAMOUS PAINTING OF
• 15:29 LEONARDO DI VINCI OF JESUS AND >>HIS DISCIPLES
• 15:32 CELEBRATING THE LAST SUPPER WHICH IS THE JEWISH PASSOVER.
• 15:35 I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT JESUS WAS DOING, >>CELEBRATING THE JEWISH PASSOVER.
• 15:39 I THOUGHT JESUS WAS A CHRISTIAN, >>THE GOD OF CHRISTIANITY,
• 15:43 SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VATICAN >>AND THE POPE AND MARY,
• 15:45 SO I BEGAN READING THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 15:47 THIS IS JESUS, THE SON OF DAVID, >>SON OF ABRAHAM.
• 15:52 HE'S A JEW, SO I WAS LIKE, STUNNED.
• 15:55 SOME OF THE CHRISTIANS DON'T KNOW THIS.
• 15:57 I BEGAN READING WITH FASCINATION, THE STORY OF HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY,
• 16:02 GOT TO THE PLACE WHERE HE MADE >>THE LAST SUPPER OR CELEBRATED >>THE PASSOVER WITH HIS DISCIPLES,
• 16:11 WAS BETRAYED BY JUDAS, >>ARRESTED BY THE ROMAN SOLDIERS, >>TAKEN TO THE HIGH PRIEST,
• 16:17 SENT TO PONTIUS PILATE AND CONDEMNED TO DEATH AND OF COURSE,
• 16:22 WHEN HE WAS CRUCIFIED AND THEY >>NAILED ABOVE HIS HEAD, THE ACCUSATION,
• 16:26 "THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS" THOSE WORDS STRUCK ME.
• 16:31 I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE PARADOX.
• 16:32 HOW COULD THE GOD OF CHRISTIANITY BE THE KING OF THE JEWS?
• 16:35 HOW COULD THE KING OF THE JEWS >>BE THE GOD OF CHRISTIANITY
• 16:37 AND THEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME UPON ME, BEGAN TO REMOVE THE VEIL OF SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS
• 16:43 FROM MY EYES AND LIKE THAT, IN A MOMENT OF TIME,
• 16:46 I RECOGNIZED AND I SAID, "OH MY GOD, IT'S YOU, JESUS,
• 16:50 THE PROMISED JEWISH MESSIAH, THE KING OF THE JEWS".
• 16:52 THAT WAS HOW I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING BORN AGAIN.
• 16:56 I WAS WEEPING LIKE A CHILD BEING >>BORN INTO THE WORLD,
• 16:58 THEN I READ THE LAST CHAPTER, >>THE RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD,
• 17:01 JESUS IS ALIVE AND I BEGAN FOLLOWING JESUS FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
• 17:08 I'VE BEEN IN THE LAND SINCE 1974.
• 17:11 YOU ALMOST PICKED UP AND WENT TO >>ISRAEL RIGHT AFTER SALVATION.
• 17:15 AS A TWO YEAR OLD, TWO YEAR OLD IN THE LORD,
• 17:16 I GOT A PERSONAL CALL TO >>JERUSALEM BASED ON THE PROPHECY >>IN EZEKIEL 36,
• 17:23 WHICH I READ AT MY BAR MITZVAH >>WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD,
• 17:34 THAT WAS THE PERSONAL--
• 17:37 SAVED BY A HOFTORAH. >>SAVED BY A HOFTORAH,
• 17:39 WITH THE PORTION I READ AT 13, >>AT THAT AGE,
• 17:43 13 YEARS LATER I READ IT AGAIN >>AFTER I MET JESUS
• 17:46 AND I WAS HERE IN JERUSALEM IN >>'74 AND HAVE BEEN SERVING HIM EVER SINCE.
• 17:51 SO, IT'S A GREAT PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY IN JERUSALEM TO >>SERVE THE LORD.
• 17:58 IT'S NOT AN EASY PLACE.
• 17:59 IT'S THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING WHERE THE FIRST BELIEVERS BEGAN
• 18:06 AND THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH WAS STARTED HERE,
• 18:10 THERE WAS A REVIVAL HERE IN THE FIRST CENTURY.
• 18:12 THEN WE WENT INTO THE EXILE FOR 1900 YEARS, WE'RE BACK IN THE LAND,
• 18:16 BACK IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM AND MESSIANIC CONGREGATIONS
• 18:20 ARE NOW BEING PLANTED ALL OVER JERUSALEM AND ISRAEL, SINCE '67, >>SINCE THE 6 DAY WAR.
• 18:27 WHAT'S FASCINATING TO ME, I LOOKED OVER, I CAME OVER IN '73 AND MET JEWISH BELIEVERS,
• 18:35 BUT I ENDED UP WRITING A BOOK >>CALLED "THE UNDERGROUND CHURCH >>OF JERUSALEM"
• 18:41 RIGHT, RIGHT.
• 18:41 BECAUSE THEY REALLY WERE UNDERGROUND.
• 18:42 YOU HAD TO HAVE IT WHISPERED TO YOU WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE.
• 18:46 IN THOSE DAYS, THERE WAS A REAL REMNANT LIKE ABOUT 3-5 HUNDRED >>OF US.
• 18:50 TODAY, THERE'S ABOUT 7-10 THOUSAND OF US,
• 18:53 KIND OF LIKE THE REMNANT IN ROMANS 11
• 18:55 WHERE ELIJAH THINKS HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO IS LEFT
• 18:59 AND GOD SAYS TO HIM, >>"NO, THERE'S 7000 THAT HAVEN'T >>BOWED THEIR KNEE TO BAAL
• 19:06 AND EVEN SO, THERE'S A REMNANT >>ACCORDING TO GRACE"
• 19:09 SO TODAY, THE BODY HAS GROWN BOTH PHYSICALLY, NUMERICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY.
• 19:17 WE HAVE CONGREGATIONS ALL OVER THE LAND.
• 19:21 IT'S NOT LIKE AMERICA.
• 19:22 AMERICA THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE >>THAN 100,000 MESSIANIC JEWS.
• 19:29 YES, THAT'S THE FIGURE I HEAR.
• 19:30 NEW YORK HAS 5 MILLION JEWS, THE SAME AS ISRAEL HAS.
• 19:33 BUT OVER IN NEW YORK, THAT'S PAR FOR THE COURSE, YOU'RE WELCOME
• 19:38 BUT OVER HERE AS A MESSIANIC JEW, DID YOU HAVE A LOT OF FRICTION OVER THESE YEARS.
• 19:44 I DIDN'T HAVE FRICTION, I HAD OPPOSITION.
• 19:46 THE ULTRA ORTHODOX JEWS >>ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO BELONG TO >>THE YADLACHIM.
• 19:55 OH, THE BROTHERHOOD.
• 19:57 THEY'RE THREATENED BY US.
• 19:59 OF COURSE, WE REPRESENT JESUS TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE LIKE THE >>FIRST BELIEVERS DID IN JERUSALEM
• 20:05 AND THEY DON'T WANT US TO PREACH THE GOSPEL SO THEY ARE A SMALL NUMBER.
• 20:10 THE GOVERNMENT, OF COURSE, >>AND THE REST OF THE NATION WHO >>ARE MAINLY SECULAR JEWS.
• 20:16 ISRAEL WAS BASED ON, REBUILT >>OR THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL IN 1948 >>IN THE DAYS OF BEN GURION,
• 20:25 WE HAD A SECULAR DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT AND SOCIETY
• 20:32 THAT WAS RAISED UP IN THE LAND >>AND ZIONISM WAS THE VISION.
• 20:34 SO, WE DON'T REALLY THREATEN THOSE PEOPLE, WE THREATEN THE ULTRA ORTHODOX JEWS
• 20:40 LIKE PETER AND THE APOSTLES DID >>IN THE FIRST CENTURY.
• 20:43 THEY SORT OF THREATENED THE >>PHARISEES, THE HIGHLY RELIGIOUS.
• 20:47 SO, WE ARE CONFRONTED BY THEM, >>THEY'RE CONFRONTED US.
• 20:50 THEY SPREAD STORIES AROUND THE >>CITY ABOUT US.
• 20:53 I'M QUITE WELL KNOWN IN JERUSALEM AS A MESSIANIC JEW
• 20:58 AND IT'S ACTUALLY GIVEN ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
• 21:02 BECAUSE OF IT, I'VE BEEN ON TELEVISION, IN MAGAZINES, THE NEWSPAPERS, ETC.
• 21:09 THE QUESTION ALWAYS ARISES, IS THERE A LAW AGAINST WITNESSING?
• 21:15 CAN'T YOU BE JAILED FOR DOING THAT?
• 21:17 RIGHT, THERE IS A LAW AGAINST >>PREACHING THE GOSPEL TO CHILDREN >>IN ISRAEL UNDER 18 YEARS OLD.
• 21:24 THERE WAS A LAW PASSED IN 1977 OR '78 THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED,
• 21:34 NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN PROSECUTED, >>NOBODY HAS EVER IMPRISONED,
• 21:38 NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN, LIKE IN THE 1ST CENTURY, MARTYRED.
• 21:43 WE'VE JUST BEEN HARASSED. WE'VE BEEN OPPOSED.
• 21:46 WE'VE BEEN, AS IN ANY COUNTRY, >>THERE'S A SPIRIT,
• 21:54 WE CALL IT THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST
• 21:57 THAT DOESN'T WANT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO RETURN TO JERUSALEM.
• 22:02 EVEN HERE!
• 22:03 EVEN HERE IN THE CITY OF JESUS, THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING WHERE >>THE GOSPEL BEGAN,
• 22:07 BUT THE GOSPEL HAS RETURNED AFTER A FULL CIRCLE
• 22:10 GOING TO JUDEA, SAMARIA AND TO >>THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
• 22:12 IT'S RETURNING TO JERUSALEM AND >>SINCE '67, THERE'S BEEN A TURNING POINT.
• 22:18 THAT 6 DAY WAR WAS A TURNING POINT.
• 22:21 IT'S LIKE WHEN GOD CREATED THE >>HEAVENS IN 6 DAYS,
• 22:23 JERUSALEM WAS A TURNING POINT IN >>OUR HISTORY.
• 22:34 HI, MY NAME IS ANN SNELL AND I'M >>FROM LEXINGTON, KY.
• 22:38 I'VE BEEN A STUDENT OF ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS NOW
• 22:43 AND I'VE BEEN TO ISRAEL TWICE WITH HIS MINISTRY.
• 22:45 UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE JEWISH >>ROOTS OF MY FAITH AND EXPERIENCING ISRAEL FIRSTHAND
• 22:52 HAVE BEEN AMONG THE GREATEST BLESSINGS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.
• 22:56 I WANT TO ENCOURAGE THOSE OF YOU WHO WATCH THIS MINISTRY WEEKLY
• 23:02 TO SUPPORT IT WITH YOUR PRAYERS AND WITH YOUR FINANCIAL GIVING.
• 23:07 I BELIEVE THAT THE MESSAGE THAT >>THIS MINISTRY SHARES,
