Caption transcript for Israel, My Love: Part 3 (3/6)
- 00:07 HE'S GOING TO PREACH CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED.
- 00:10 FAMINE, PESTILENCE, EARTHQUAKES, WARS, THE SECOND RESURRECTIONS OF UNBELIEVERS.
- 00:15 WELL, I THINK WHEN GOD CHOOSES A PEOPLE, THE DEVIL CHOOSES..
- 00:18 THE BELIEVERS WILL BE A VAST MAJORITY..
- 00:20 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM, PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
- 00:23 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES IS PROUD TO PRESENT A SERIES HIGHLIGHTING
- 00:27 OVER ONE QUARTER CENTURY OF TELEVISION PROGRAMS.
- 00:40 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN. I'M SANDRA LEVITT.
- 00:42 I'M HERE WITH DR. JEFFREY SEIF AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
- 00:45 THE RETROSPECTIVE OF ZOLA LEVITT'S MINISTRIES,
- 00:47 THE LAST 27 YEARS OF A MINISTRY THAT LOVES ISRAEL,
- 00:51 LOVES THE JEWS, LOVES TALKING ABOUT JEWISH ROOTS.
- 00:54 JEFF, I'M GLAD YOU'RE WITH US.
- 00:55 GLAD TO BE HERE AND IN THE LAST 27 DAYS,
- 00:58 YOU WERE IN ISRAEL YOURSELF, WEREN'T YOU?
- 00:59 I HAVE BEEN, I LOVED IT, I HAD TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
- 01:03 TOUGH TIMES, YES?
- 01:04 YES AND NO.
- 01:06 I THINK I SAW LOTS OF THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE MAY NOT GET TO SEE
- 01:10 AND I LOVE ALL OF THE ARCHITECTURE OVER THERE, ALL OF THE ARTWORK,
- 01:16 ALL OF THE LANDSCAPING, IT'S TERRIFIC OVER THERE.
- 01:19 IN FACT, ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE THINGS I LOVE TO DO OVER THERE IS DIG
- 01:24 AND WHEN I'M IN ISRAEL, I'M ALWAYS PICKING AROUND
- 01:26 TRYING TO FIND POTTERY SHARDS OR PETRIFIED STUFF.
- 01:29 THERE'S THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY THERE IN THE STONES, ISN'T THERE?
- 01:33 ABSOLUTELY, ONE OF THE PROGRAMS ZOLA MADE IS "THE STONES CRY OUT".
- 01:37 I'D LIKE YOU TO WATCH IT.
- 02:01 ♪IF NO ONE STANDS TO SPEAK, ♪IF NO ONE PRAYS,
- 02:12 ♪THESE VERY STONES CRY OUT, ♪I AM.
- 02:25 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN AND WELCOME TO OUR NEW SERIES, "THE STONES CRY OUT".
- 02:30 WE TRAVELED FROM DAN TO THE DEAD SEA, FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN TO PETRA
- 02:36 AND THAT'S QUITE AN AREA, LOOKING AT ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIGS, UPDATING THEM,
- 02:41 FINDING OUT WHAT'S GOING ON THESE DAYS.
- 02:43 THESE ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIGS PROVE THE BIBLE TO BE A RELIABLE BOOK.
- 02:50 AND TO OUR SURPRISE, IT WAS MADE OF PURE SILVER, 99% OF SILVER
- 02:58 AND IT LOOKED LIKE A STRAP OF SILVER.
- 03:00 IT WAS DENSELY COVERED WITH VERY DELICATELY SCRATCHED CHARACTER IN THE ANCIENT HEBREW SCRIPT.
- 03:07 THE FIRST WORD TO BE DECIPHERED WAS, TO MY SURPRISE, "NAME OF THE LORD".
- 03:13 THE TETRAGRAMMATON, OR WHAT WE ANGLICIZE SOMETIMES AS JEHOVAH, YHVH,
- 03:21 WHICH APPEARS IN THE HEBREW BIBLE WHENEVER THE ENGLISH BIBLE HAS THE WORD "THE LORD".
- 03:26 HERE IN THE RUGGED MOUNTAINS OF SYRIA LIES THE CITY OF PETRA,
- 03:30 LOCATED ADJACENT TO A MAJOR ANCIENT TRADE ROUTE,
- 03:33 PETRA HOSTED CARAVANS FROM MESOPOTAMIA, PERSIA, INDIA AND CHINA.
- 03:39 THE NABATINES EXTRACTED TAXES FROM THE MERCHANTS DELIVERING SPICES, PRECIOUS STONES
- 03:44 AND RICH FABRICS, DEVELOPED PETRA INTO A WEALTHY METROPOLIS.
- 03:49 A WINDING GORGE IS THE ONLY ENTRANCE TO THIS BECAUSE OF THE MOUNTAINOUS SURROUNDINGS.
- 03:56 THE FIRST OR NOT THE FIRST RELIGIOUS SHRINE,
- 04:02 SIMPLE SHRINE OF CAESAREA, THE CHRISTIAN BUILT AN OCTAGONAL,
- 04:06 YOU CAN SEE THE DIAGONAL WALL HERE, WHICH IS PART OF OCTAGON,
- 04:09 OCTAGONAL BUILDING THAT HAS THE VERY SAME SHAPE AND SIZE
- 04:14 OF THE OCTAGON OF THE DOME OF THE ROCK
- 04:17 ON TOP OF THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
- 04:20 INTERESTING THINGS, TALKING ABOUT THE DOME OF THE ROCK.
- 04:23 YOU KNOW, JEFF, LOTS OF THINGS GO ON IN ISRAEL THAT NEVER EVER GETS REPORTED.
- 04:27 THAT'S TRUE AND ONE OF THE GREATEST STORIES TO TELL
- 04:30 IS THE JEWISH ORIGINS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.
- 04:34 I PERSONALLY, IN MY CAREER AS A COLLEGE TEACHER,
- 04:37 ALWAYS LOVED TEACHING AND EVEN WRITING ABOUT THE JEWISHNESS OF JESUS
- 04:40 AND THE JEWISHNESS OF THE EARLY CHURCH.
- 04:42 ZOLA DID A SERIES ON "THE BELIEVERS"
- 04:45 WHERE HE EXPLORED THE JEWISH ROOTS OF THE EARLY FAITH MOVEMENT AND TO THAT,
- 04:50 WE WILL NOW ATTEND.
- 04:54 ♪YESHUA, YESHUA.
- 05:02 WE FOUND OUR JEWISH ROOTS IN YESHUA
- 05:05 AND TODAY WHEN WE TELL PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS
- 05:08 WE TELL THEM THAT WE BECAME JEWER THAN EVER.
- 05:11 I WANTED TO MOVE THEM AND SAY YESHUA IS THE MESSIAH,
- 05:14 YOU KNOW I JUST, GOD JUST ANSWERED MY PRAYER.
- 05:17 SEE THE SCRIPTURES SAID THAT WE BLESS YOU WHEN YOU BLESS ISRAEL
- 05:23 AND I WOULD CURSE YOU WHEN YOU CURSE ISRAEL.
- 05:25 OUR GOAL IN LIFE ISN'T NECESSARILY TO MAKE FRIENDS FOR MYSELF;
- 05:30 IT'S TO MAKE FRIENDS FOR YESHUA HAMASHIACH OR JESUS OF NAZARETH.
- 05:36 ♪♪
- 05:50 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
- 05:52 HERE WE ARE AT THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER NEW SERIES AND THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT UNUSUAL.
- 05:56 WE'VE ALWAYS GONE TO ISRAEL TO FILM THE SITES THERE, THE LOCATIONS WHERE THINGS HAPPENED.
- 06:01 IT'S SO NICE TO SHOW THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
- 06:04 ON THE VERY MOUNTAIN WHERE THE LORD STOOD OR THE SEA OF GALILEE AND SO ON.
- 06:09 BUT, THIS TIME WE WENT TO MEET THE PEOPLE AND PARTICULARLY THE BELIEVERS,
- 06:13 THESE PEOPLE WHO HOLD TO A BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST, YESHUA HAMASHIACH,
- 06:18 JESUS THE MESSIAH AS THEY CALL HIM.
- 06:20 I LOVE THE BIBLE AND KNEW THE TRUTH WAS IN THE BIBLE,
- 06:24 BUT, I SAW A BAD EXAMPLE OF THE RELIGIOUS SYSTEM AND I JUST COULDN'T MAKE IT TO THEM,
- 06:31 BUT I KNEW I WAS MISSING SOMETHING, I KNEW THE BIBLE IS TRUE,
- 06:34 BUT I'M NOT FOLLOWING IT AND I COULDN'T FOLLOW IT THE WAY THE ORTHODOX RELIGION SHOWED ME.
- 06:39 I FIGURED HE WAS JEWISH, HE COMES FROM JEWISH ROOTS AND I WAS CURIOUS.
- 06:46 IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS, I FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL, I DID ALL THE EXAMS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL,
- 06:52 BUT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING FOR THE NEW TESTAMENT.
- 06:55 MOST ISRAELIS DON'T LEARN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
- 06:59 IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS, UNLESS YOU TAKE IT IN HEBREW UNIVERSITY AS AN EXTRA SUBJECT.
- 07:04 SO, THAT WAS THE FIRST SURPRISING THING THAT I FOUND
- 07:10 AND I READ MORE AND I FOUND THAT THE DISCIPLES WERE JEWISH.
- 07:14 I SAID, WAIT A MINUTE, WHATEVER JESUS WAS SAYING WASREALLY, HE SPOKE DIRECTLY TO MY HEART.
- 07:27 THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU AS HIS TREASURED POSSESSION
- 07:32 BECAUSE HE LOVED YOU AND KEPT THE OATH HE SWORE TO YOUR FOREFATHERS.
- 07:38 YOU ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION TO PROCLAIM THE MIGHTY ACTS OF HIM
- 07:43 WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT.
- 08:06 THEY WERE NOT UNDER THIS KIND OF LAW BEFORE, NOW THEY'RE OUT IN A WILDERNESS
- 08:10 AND THEY ARE CALLED TO REMEMBER GOD'S PROVISIONS IN THE WILDERNESS.
- 08:14 FOR ONE THING THE MA'ANA, IN ENGLISH WE ALWAYS CALL MANNA,
- 08:19 BUT IT'S MA'ANA MEANING WHAT IS IT, WHICH IS WHAT THEY MUST HAVE SAID WHEN THEY SAW IT AND SAYS.
- 08:56 AND FOR ME AS A JEWISH PERSON, IT'S AN INCREDIBLE STORY OF HOW I GOT HERE.
- 09:01 I GOT NO QUALIFICATIONS, I DON'T HAVE A DEGREE
- 09:04 AND YET HERE I AM IN PROBABLY THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS ANGLICAN CHURCH IN THE WORLD.
- 09:11 IT'S A HUMBLING THING.
- 09:15 I DON'T TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIGHTLY.
- 09:17 I COVET PEOPLE'S PRAYERS.
- 09:58 WE'RE FOCUSING ON THOSE WHO WERE CLOSE TO JESUS WHEN HE WALKED ON EARTH,
- 10:02 THE JEWISH CULTURE AROUND HIM, THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HIS FRIENDS.
- 10:07 HE IS, OF COURSE, THE RABBI.
- 10:09 THESE AROUND HIM ARE THE FIRST CHRISTIANS.
- 10:11 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE DISCIPLE MATTHEW, IT'S ALMOST A CASE OF THE RIGHT JOB
- 10:16 AND WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER, THE WRONG MAN.
- 10:19 I MEAN, WHY WOULD JESUS CALL A TAX COLLECTOR?
- 10:22 THE PUBLICANS, AS THEY WERE KNOWN
- 10:24 WERE ONE OF THE LOWEST LEVELS OF THE SOCIAL LADDER IN ISRAEL, PUT IT THAT WAY.
- 10:29 THEY WERE LOOKED DOWN UPON FOR VARIOUS REASONS,
- 10:32 BUT GOD PASSES OUT SPIRITUAL GIFTS JUST AS HE WILL.
- 10:35 WE KNOW THAT.
- 10:37 SOME OF THE MOST UNLIKELY PEOPLE HAVE SOME OF THE MOST WONDERFUL GIFTS
- 10:41 AND WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED THAT.
- 10:43 WELL YOU KNOW, MARY'S ACT OF LOVE IN POURING THIS PERFUME ON THE LORD'S FEET
- 10:49 AND WASHING WITH HER HAIR, THIS WOULD CONFOUND PEOPLE TRYING TO WORK THEIR WAY TO HEAVEN
- 10:55 DOING GOOD WORKS, BUT REALLY THE LOVE OF THE LORD IS GREATER THAN GOOD WORKS,
- 11:01 GREATER THAN VISITING THE SICK, FEEDING THE POOR, CLOTHING THE NAKED AND SO ON.
- 11:05 THE LOVE OF FELLOW MAN IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT IN CHRISTIANITY,
- 11:09 BUT, THE LOVE OF THE LORD IS CALLED THE FIRST WORK.
- 11:23 ♪NOW YOU ASK ME, ♪"WHO AM I?"
- 11:29 ♪AS IF I'D NOT BEEN ♪BY YOUR SIDE.
- 11:34 ♪THE THINGS YOU SHOWED ME, ♪THE LOVE I SAW,
- 11:39 ♪"THOU ART THE CHRIST ♪THE SON OF GOD.
- 11:48 ♪THE SICK ARE HEALED ♪THE MUTE CAN TALK,

- 12:05 ♪I WAS SO SHOCKED, ♪I WAS SO AWED,
- 12:15 ♪"THOU ART THE CHRIST, ♪THE SON OF GOD!"
- 12:35 WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL SHOW YOU ZOLA'S RESPONSE TO Y2K AND THE NEW MILLENNIUM.
- 12:43 WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

- 13:45 WORSHIP IN THE SHADOWS OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.

- 13:59 AND THAT'S ISRAEL.
- 14:00 OUR PRAYER FOR YOU IS THAT YOU GO TO ISRAEL.
- 14:03 YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO WITH US, BUT GO AND SEE ISRAEL.
- 14:05 IT MAKES THE BIBLE COME ALIVE.
- 14:08 IT IS JUST A WONDERFUL PLACE TO BE.
- 14:11 WHAT DO YOU THINK, JEFF?
- 14:13 WELL, I'M REMINDED OF THE FACT ZOLA USED TO COMPARE ISRAEL TO A WATCH.
- 14:17 HE RAISED THE QUESTION, WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES 12 AT THE END OF THE YEAR, 1999,
- 14:23 WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND MANY SAID, "BOOM".
- 14:26 BUT, THEY WERE MISTAKEN WEREN'T THEY AND YOU WALKED WITH ZOLA
- 14:30 THROUGH THE Y2K YEAR, DIDN'T YOU.
- 14:32 WE DID AND YOU KNOW ZOLA HAD A PROGRAM CALLED "IS THIS THE END, OR JUST THE BEGINNING?"
- 14:37 AND BROADCAST IT 1999 AT MIDNIGHT, FULL OF THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE ABOUT Y2K.
- 14:48 AMID SUCH ADVANCEMENTS, WE STILL ASK QUESTIONS AND WE WANT ANSWERS,
- 14:58 THESE QUESTIONS ARE NOT NEW TO THE GENERATION FACING THE TURNING OF THE MILLENNIAL CLOCK.
- 15:03 FOR CENTURIES PEOPLE HAVE ASKED SIMILAR QUESTIONS.
- 15:07 THEY HAVE WORRIED ABOUT THAT LIFE AND LIFE AFTER DEATH HELD FOR THEM.
- 15:11 IS THIS THE END, OR IS THIS THE BEGINNING?
- 15:15 WE SEE INCREASED REPORTS OF NATURAL DISASTERS WORLDWIDE
- 15:20 AND HOW THESE CATASTROPHES ARE AFFECTING LIVES.
- 15:23 ON THIS PROGRAM WE'LL CONSIDER THE LABOR PAINS OF THE EARTH, THE TIMING AS IT WERE.
- 15:29 IT THIS TIMING SOME SUPERNATURAL SIGNAL FOR US TO BE ON WATCH.
- 15:34 I KNOW, I KNOW, CAN YOU SIT DOWN IN THIS CHAIR?
- 15:38 LET'S DO THAT.
- 15:39 BE CAREFUL.
- 15:41 I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS.
- 15:43 HELP ME, YAH. HELP ME.
- 15:45 IT'LL BE OKAY.
- 15:46 WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? >>IT'LL BE OVER SOON.
- 16:06 CREATION BEGAN IN RELATIONSHIP WITH ITS CREATOR.
- 16:09 AS A HUSBAND AND WIFE'S RELATIONSHIP CONCEIVES A NEW LIFE,
- 16:13 IS THE WORLD'S UPHEAVAL BRINGING FORTH A NEW LIFE, A FRESH BEGINNING?
- 16:18 THE YEAR 2000 HAS CAUSED HISTORICAL RETROSPECTION.
- 16:22 QUESTIONS OF, "IS THIS THE END?" MAKE HEADLINES FROM TABLOIDS TO TIME, BUT WHO IS WATCHING?
- 16:29 WHO IS TIMING THE LABOR?
- 16:31 WHEN AND WHAT STARTED THIS PROPHETIC AGE WE LIVE IN, THE BEGINNING OF THE END,
- 16:36 PREDICTED ALMOST 2000 YEARS AGO ON A HILLTOP OVERLOOKING THE CITY OF JERUSALEM?
- 16:40 AND SO THIS IS A GREAT BELL THE LORD IS RINGING TO PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD,
- 16:46 GET READY, THE LORD IS ANNOUNCING BY THE RETURN OF JEWS BACK HOME TO ISRAEL,
- 16:52 A GREATER RETURN AND THAT'S THE RETURN OF THE MESSIAH.
- 16:56 THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
- 16:58 YEAH, SHE WAS WORTH THE WAIT. SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
- 17:02 YOU WERE WORTH THE STRUGGLE.
- 17:11 IT'S TIME TO MAKE A CHOICE.
- 17:12 YOU CAN GO WITH THE LORD AND BELIEVE HIM AND ASK FOR HIS REDEMPTION
- 17:18 AND GO INTO A BEAUTIFUL NEW WORLD AS BEAUTIFUL AS THAT CHILD
- 17:22 OR YOU CAN KEEP DOING WHAT YOU WERE DOING AND THE DESTRUCTION WILL COME UPON.
- 17:28 SO, I REALLY SAY TO YOU IN ALL SINCERITY AND THIS IS NOT SCRIPTED AND NOT MEMORIZED,
- 17:33 DO WHAT I'VE DONE AND SO MANY HAVE DONE, TALK TO THE LORD, HE KNOWS YOUR HEART.
- 17:39 SAY TO HIM YOU WANT THE BEAUTIFUL NEW WORLD TO COME,
- 17:44 THE NEXT LIFE TO COME AND HE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.
- 17:47 HE SAID, ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN, SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND,
- 17:51 KNOCK AND IT WILL BE OPENED UNTO YOU
- 17:55 AND THAT IS OUR MESSAGE OF REDEMPTION.
- 17:58 YOU KNOW WHEN THE 21ST CENTURY CAME AND Y2K CAME, EVERYBODY WAS CONFUSED AND BARRICADED
- 18:05 AND A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND YET THE REAL SOURCE WAS THE BIBLE.
- 18:11 JEFF, WHERE WERE YOU ON Y2K?
- 18:14 WELL, I DIDN'T GET CAUGHT UP IN IT AS MUCH AS MANY DID.
- 18:17 BUT, I THINK EVEN THOSE CAUGHT UP IN IT, MISTAKEN THOUGH THEY WERE, ASKING A GOOD QUESTION,
- 18:21 LORD, WHEN ARE YOU COMING AND IT'S A REASONABLE QUESTION, IS IT NOT?
- 18:26 IT REALLY IS.
- 18:27 I REMEMBER IN SEMINARY STUMBLING UPON A THEOLOGIAN CARL BARTH
- 18:31 WHO SAID A GOOD BIBLE TEACHER NEEDS TO HAVE A NEWSPAPER IN ONE HAND
- 18:35 AND A BIBLE IN THE OTHER TO SEE HOW THOSE TWO FIT.
- 18:38 COULD BE SAID NO ONE DID IT BETTER THAN ZOLA AND HIS SERIES "THE WORLD TODAY"
- 18:44 IS SOMETHING WE'LL LOOK IN BUT A MOMENT.
- 19:01 I WENT TO A CONFERENCE IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA RECENTLY CALLED
- 19:05 "THE SPIRITUAL AND PARLIAMENTARY LEADERS GLOBAL FORUM ON HUMAN SURVIVAL".
- 19:10 WE'RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT HUMAN SURVIVAL, BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS SUCH A SPIRITUAL THING
- 19:15 AND I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME THINGS THAT I LEARNED.
- 19:18 THE SOVIET UNION BELIEVES THAT THE TIME HAS COME
- 19:21 WHEN A LIMITATION ON MILITARY ACTIVITY IS NEEDED, NOT ONLY FOR LESSENING THE DANGER OF WAR,
- 19:27 BUT FOR PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT.
- 19:29 MANY IDEAS DESERVE ATTENTION, PERHAPS WOULD BE USEFUL
- 19:33 IF WE INSTITUTE A KIND OF INTERNATIONAL GREEN CROSS
- 19:36 THAT OFFERS ITS ASSISTANCE TO THE STATES IN ECOLOGICAL TROUBLE.
- 19:40 OH, PASTOR OF ONE OF THE LARGEST CHURCHES IN AMERICA IN HIS HUMILITY WROTE TO ASK,
- 19:45 WHAT ABOUT THE PROPHECIES NOW OF RUSSIA INVADING ISRAEL IN THE END TIMES,
- 19:49 A FIERCE WAR LIKE RUSSIA THAT'S PICTURED THE MAGOG OF PROPHECY BY EZEKIEL
- 19:56 AND THEY LOOK SO PEACEFUL NOW.
- 20:00 YOUR ANSWER IS THEY MAY NOT BE SO PEACEFUL.
- 20:03 YES, THEY'RE TAKING THEIR TIME PLUS THEY'RE WORKING TO DISARM THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE
- 20:11 AND MAKE THEM TO GO IN SLEEP SO THIS WAY THEY WILL HAVE MORE PRIORITY IN EVERY WAY
- 20:17 AND EVERY DIRECTION AGAINST THE REST OF THE WORLD.
- 20:20 HERE YOU SEE THE NEWLY ARRIVED RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS, FRESH OFF THE PLANE
- 20:24 BEING ISSUED GAS MASKS.
- 20:26 IMAGINE, THEY FINALLY MAKE IT TO THEIR BELOVED HOMELAND ONLY TO BE THREATENED BY POISON GAS.
- 20:31 MANY OF THESE IMMIGRANTS WILL BE HEADING TOWARD JERUSALEM
- 20:35 AND WHEN THEY ARRIVE THEY'LL JOIN OTHER ISRAELIS
- 20:37 WHO ARE ALSO CARRYING THEIR GAS MASKS THROUGH THE STREETS IN THEIR CARDBOARD CONTAINERS.
- 20:42 TO SOME THE WEARING OF THESE BOXES HAS BECOME A STATEMENT OF DEFIANCE.
- 20:47 OTHERS JUST MAKE THE BEST OF A BAD BARGAIN.
- 20:50 YOU KNOW, ZOLA INTERVIEWED LOTS OF INTERESTING PEOPLE IN ISRAEL,
- 20:53 BUT, HE ALSO INTERVIEWED QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT I THINK YOU'LL RECOGNIZE HERE IN THE STATES.
- 20:58 YOU KNOW, WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT GOD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD,
- 21:04 THE FACT THAT HE RULES OVER ALL, I MEAN, NEBUCHADNEZZAR AND DANIEL
- 21:10 AND NEBUCHADNEZZAR FINALLY COMING TO HIS SENSES AND WRITING IN DANIEL CHAPTER 4
- 21:17 THAT GOD DOES ACCORDING TO HIS WILL
- 21:21 IN THE ARMY OF HEAVEN AND AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH.
- 21:24 NONE CAN STAY GOD'S HAND.
- 21:26 THE RABBI OF THE RABBI THE RABBI FROM X AMOUNTS OF GENERATIONS INTO HUNDREDS OF YEARS
- 21:31 A SIGN OF RESPECT TO TRADITION.
- 21:34 YES, A SIGN OF RESPECT, BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO OF
- 21:36 THEY'RE WILLING TO DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES FROM EVERYDAY MODERN PEOPLE.
- 21:41 THEY WANT TO DEFINITELY SET THEMSELVES APART
- 21:46 AND THEY WANT IT TO BE VERY VISIBLE
- 21:47 SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY ARE DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PEOPLE.
- 21:52 CONSECRATED, SET APART. >>I THINK SO.
- 21:53 IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE UPRISING,
- 21:55 WE WOULD HAVE THEM CALL AND SAY, SOMETIMES CALL AND SAY,
- 21:58 LOOK TOMORROW YOU WANT TO HAVE CAMERAS AT 10 AM IN BETHLEHEM
- 22:01 OR THIS AFTERNOON IN RAMALLAH AT 4
- 22:04 AND THEY WERE DIRECTING THE CAMERAS TO PLACES WHERE THEY KNEW,
- 22:07 SOMEHOW THEY KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE A VIOLENT DEMONSTRATION
- 22:10 SO IT SEEMED TO BE A BIT CONTRIVED.
- 22:13 WELL, OF COURSE THIS WAS THE MONUMENTAL BUILDING OF THE ANCIENT WORLD;
- 22:17 IT WAS THE PLACE OF THE TEMPLE OF THE WORSHIP OF GOD.
- 22:20 CHRIST HAD PREDICTED THAT IT WOULD BE DESTROYED
- 22:24 AND IT WAS DESTROYED WITHIN 40 YEARS AFTER HE DIED
- 22:28 AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN.
- 22:30 THAT WAS A YOUNG ZOLA THERE, WASN'T IT?
- 22:32 YOUNG, OLD, I THINK ZOLA'S GOING TO BE REMEMBERED THE MOST BY WHAT HE WORE.
- 22:40 YOU KNOW, HE LOVED TO WEAR THOSE ROBES AND CREATE THAT BIBLICAL AMBIANCE
- 22:44 AND HE LOVED TO WEAR THEM IN THE GALILEE AND THERE WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS.
- 23:01 ♪FOLLOW ME TO GALILEE, ♪FOLLOW ME HOME,
- 23:14 ♪WHEN YOU SEE GALILEE, ♪THEN YOU'LL KNOW YOU'RE HOME.
- 23:36 WELL, THE SCRIPTURES SAYS IN JOHN 4:3 THAT JESUS LEFT JUDEA
- 23:40 AND DEPARTED INTO GALILEE AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
- 23:43 WE'RE AT A WELL LIKE THE WELL OF SAMARIA WHERE THE LORD WITNESSED TO THE SAMARITAN WOMAN
- 23:48 AND WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO GALILEE AND IN THIS SERIES,
- 23:51 WE, LIKE HIM, ARE GOING TO RETURN TO GALILEE.
- 23:55 AND WE'RE GOING TO TRACE HIS FOOTSTEPS, HIS TEACHINGS THE PARABLES,
- 23:59 THE MIRACLES AND SO ON IN THIS SERIES.
- 24:02 THE WORD "CATCH" IS INTERESTING WHEN HE SAYS FROM NOW ON YOU'LL CATCH MEN.
- 24:06 IT'S THE GREEK ZOGREO WITH THE ROOT ZOA, LIFE,
- 24:11 YOU'LL CATCH MEN ALIVE,
- 24:13 YOU'LL ENLIST THEM, CAPTURE THEM, PUT THEM TO WORK.
- 24:16 THE DEVIL'S SNARE IN 2 TIMOTHY 2:26 WATCH AND TELLING US TO BEWARE THE DEVIL'S SNARE,
- 24:24 THAT WORD, TOO, SNARE IS ZOGREO, A WAY OF CATCHING ALIVE.
- 24:29 BOTH GOD AND THE DEVIL CATCH MEN ALIVE AND START THEM WORKING EACH FOR THEIR OWN CAUSE.
- 24:35 WHEN YOU CATCH A FISH IT KILLS THEM.
- 24:37 CATCHING A MAN IN A SENSE OF ZOGREO IS GATHERING HIS LABORS FOR YOUR FIELDS, ENLISTING HIM.
- 24:45 AND HE TAUGHT ABOUT THE MUSTARD SEED AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE HERE.
- 24:48 A MUSTARD SEED IS REALLY A SMALL POD AND INSIDE ARE TINY, TINY SEEDS, 6 OR 8
- 24:54 AND AS THE LORD SAID, IF YOU HAVE FAITH THE SIZE OF ONE OF THESE, THAT'S FAITH ENOUGH.
- 25:00 COMM AND A MOUNTAIN TO JUMP INTO THE SEA AND IT WILL.
- 25:03 THE CHURCH AGE IS THE KINGDOM IN PART AND THE TRANSFIGURATION SHOWS US, TOO,
- 25:09 THAT THE KINGDOM IS A SUPERNATURAL THING.
- 25:12 WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT BY ANY EFFORT OF OUR OWN.
- 25:16 MEN DON'T BRING THE KINGDOM, MEN ARE TOLD TO PRAY TO GOD WHO WILL BRING THE KINGDOM,
- 25:20 THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
- 25:33 OF COURSE, WE'RE COMING FROM THE FAR NORTH OF ISRAEL WITH HERMON IN THE BACKGROUND
- 25:38 AND WE'RE JUST ENJOYING THE GALILEE, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
- 25:42 IT'S A LITTLE TEMPESTUOUS TODAY, THOUGH ISN'T IT, SANDRA?
- 25:44 IT'S A LITTLE MORE ACTION OVER THERE NOW, BUT IT'S STILL BEAUTIFUL, IT IS SO GORGEOUS.
- 25:51 GOD HAS REALLY WATCHED ISRAEL.
- 25:54 ZOLA ALWAYS SAID, "COUNT THE CASUALTIES."
- 25:56 THERE'S MAYBE 60 CASUALTIES AS WE'RE TALKING NOW.
- 26:00 GOD'S REALLY WATCHED AND PROTECTED HIS PEOPLE.
- 26:04 YOU SEE BUSHES AND THINGS ON FIRE AND WHEN I AS THERE
- 26:08 MY SON AND I, WILL, HAD REMARKED TO EACH OTHER WE HAD NOT SEEN ANY ROAD DESTRUCTION.
- 26:14 REALLY, UNTIL ABOUT TWO WEEKS INTO IT, THERE WAS NO ROAD DESTRUCTION.
- 26:18 SO, GOD REALLY HAS HIS HAND ON ISRAEL AND IT'S STILL BEAUTIFUL.
- 26:22 HE THAT WATCHES ISRAEL WILL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP.
- 26:25 GOD'S IN CONTROL, ISN'T HE.
- 26:27 THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY DO SEE.
- 26:28 YOU SEE DO SEE GOD'S LOVE OF HIS PEOPLE.
