Caption transcript for The Gospel According to Isaiah: “The Holy Spirit” (6/8)

• 00:12 HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN
• 00:17 WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS AND BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES
• 00:24 HE IS BROUGHT AS A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER
• 00:29 WRITTEN 700 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST, ISAIAH KNEW THAT THIS PROPHETIC SCRIPTURE WOULD ONE DAY BE
• 00:35 FULFILLED IN THE LAMB OF GOD, JESUS.
• 00:45 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU. JEFFREY SEIF HERE WITH MY FRIEND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:51 SHALOM JEFF.I'M ENJOYING ISAIAH; IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL TEACHING.
• 00:55 YES,ISAIAH IS A GREAT PROPHET.
• 00:58 HE REALLY IS.WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IN THE HEBREW,
• 01:01 THE HEBREW WORDS FOR PEOPLES NAMES MEANS SOMETHING.
• 01:04 ISAIAH MEANS "THE LORD SAVES".
• 01:06 AND SAVE HE DOES.
• 01:09 WONDERFUL!
• 01:10 THE WAY HE DOES THAT TODAY HE MAKES AVAILABLE,
• 01:13 INDIVIDUALS CAN REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND RECEIVE THE "RUACH HAKODESH",THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 01:19 IN THIS PROGRAM WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE HOLY SPIRIT AS PROPHESIED IN SCRIPTURE,
• 01:24 BUT NOW LET'S LOOK AT THE STORY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BEING POURED OUT ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST.
• 01:31 "AND WHEN THE DAY OF PENTECOST WAS FULLY COME THEY WERE ALL WITH ONE ACCORD IN ONE PLACE.
• 01:38 AND SUDDENLY THERE CAME A SOUND FROM HEAVEN AS OF A RUSHING MIGHTY WIND.
• 01:44 AND IT FILLED ALL THE HOUSE WITH WHERE THEY WERE SITTING.
• 01:47 AND THERE APPEARED UNTO THEM CLOVEN TONGUES LIKE AS A FIRE AND THAT SAT UPON EACH OF THEM,
• 01:53 AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST
• 01:57 AND THEY BEGAN TO SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE.
• 02:03 IN THE 5th CHAPTER OF THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW, JESUS IS ON RECORD TELLING HIS DISCIPLES, QUOTE,
• 02:19 WELL HERE WE ARE ON A CITY SET ON A HILL, ARGUABLY THE MOST FAMOUS CITY ON PLANET EARTH,
• 02:28 "JERUSALEM",
• 02:30 RIGHT BY THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 02:32 ABOUT ME ARE THE STONES THAT WERE SET IN PLACE WHEN JESUS WALKED THE PLANET,
• 02:37 AND NO DOUBT HE WALKED THIS WAY AS HE MADE HIS WAY TO JERUSALEM TO PRAY.
• 02:41 THERE'S SPECIAL HERODIAN STONE CUT FROM THE 1ST CENTURY
• 02:45 THAT EVIDENCES THAT I'M IN PROXIMITY TO THE AUTHENTIC.
• 02:48 CLOSE BY THERE ARE "MIKVOT", RITUAL BATHS,
• 02:52 WHERE THOSE WHO WOULD WANT TO WORSHIP THE LORD WOULD PURIFY THEMSELVES.
• 02:56 THIS IS THE MOST SACRED SPOT FOR JEWS THE WORLD OVER.
• 03:01 HOW INTERESTING IT MUST HAVE BEEN FOR THEM TO HEAR THAT GOD IS GOING TO BUILD A NEW TEMPLE,
• 03:07 THAT THE BODY OF BELIEVERS WOULD BE THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. SO IT IS TODAY.
• 03:15 WE WANT TO LOOK AT WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 03:19 MANY CHRISTIANS HAVE ALREADY HEARD OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 03:24 WHAT MANY DON'T KNOW IS THAT THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS PREDICTED IN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH,
• 03:30 AN 8TH CENTURY PROPHET WHO LIVED MANY, MANY HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE JESUS.
• 03:35 I'D LIKE YOU TO TURN IN YOUR BIBLES PLEASE THE 42ND CHAPTER OF ISAIAH.
• 03:39 THEREIN UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF THE "RUACH HAKODESH"THE HOLY SPIRIT,
• 03:44 THE PROPHET SAYS, AND I QUOTE,
• 04:10 WHO IS THIS PERSON THAT ISAIAH SPEAKS OF WHEN HE SAYS
• 04:13 THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS PLACED WITHIN HIM,
• 04:16 THAT A LIGHT, THAT A MESSAGE WILL GO FORTH TO THE NATIONS?
• 04:20 THERE ARE SOME CLUES TO THIS IN THE 11TH CHAPTER IN ISAIAH
• 04:23 AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK WITH ME PLEASE AT A VERY IMPORTANT PASSAGE, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
• 04:28 HE SAYS IN CHAPTER 11, VERSE 1,
• 05:14 I THINK IT'S FASCINATING THAT IN THE HEBREW BIBLE
• 05:18 ENVISIONED IS THAT THE REDEEMER WOULD COME IN CONJUNCTION WITH WHICH NOTED
• 05:23 IS THE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD REST UPON HIM IN A VERY, VERY, VERY SPECIAL WAY.
• 05:31 WE'RE SO USED TO HEARING THE STORY OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD
• 05:33 AND HEARING IT IN A CHRISTIAN CONTEXT,
• 05:36 AND I BELIEVE IT BELONGS IN A CHRISTIAN CONTEXT CERTAINLY.
• 05:40 BUT I'M SO PLEASED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO YOU,
• 05:43 BUT NOT JUST THE GOSPEL, A MESSIANIC JEWISH GOSPEL TO DRAW PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE FACT
• 05:48 THAT THIS MESSAGE IS FOUND IN THE HEBREW BIBLE MANY YEARS BEFORE JESUS.
• 05:54 IF YOU LOOK IN CHAPTER 11 VERSE 10, I'M GOING TO WANT TO GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING,
• 05:57 BUT I WANT TO TAKE YOU HERE FIRST.
• 06:21 I THINK IT'S FASCINATING PERSONALLY, THAT PROPHESIED IN THE BIBLE
• 06:25 IS THAT THIS STOCK FROM DAVIDIC ROOT IS GOING TO COME
• 06:30 AND BE ENDUED WITH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN SUCH A SPECIAL WAY
• 06:34 THAT NOT ONLY WILL THE JEWISH PEOPLE SEEK HIM,
• 06:37 BUT AS MUCH THE PEOPLE AT LARGE WILL COME TO KNOW HIM.
• 06:41 ISN'T THAT PRECISELY WHAT HAPPENED ON THE DAY OF "SHAVUOT" ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST,
• 06:45 WHEN JESUS' JEWISH DISCIPLES WERE GATHERED TOGETHER THERE IN THE UPPER ROOM?
• 06:51 MAYBE THAT UPPER ROOM WAS HERE AT THIS TEMPLE SITE JUST TO MY NORTH.
• 06:55 MAYBE IT WAS ON MOUNT ZION JUST A QUARTER OF A MILE THE OTHER WAY.
• 06:59 WHEREVER, THE POINT IS THAT AT A DESIGNATED DAY
• 07:03 AS IT WAS PROPHESIED BY THE PROPHET ISAIAH,
• 07:06 THAT THE "MASHIACH" WOULD COME IN CONJUNCTION WITH WHICH WOULD BE THIS GREAT OUTPOURING.
• 07:11 THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WAS UPON JESUS WOULD THEN BE POURED OUT IN JESUS ABSENCE
• 07:15 UPON HIS "TALMIDIM", UPON HIS DISCIPLES
• 07:19 AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
• 07:22 IN FACT, WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US WE ARE HISTORY MAKERS. AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS,
• 07:29 YOU MIGHT RECALL IN THE BOOK ACTS,
• 07:32 WHEN JESUS TELLS THEM ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 07:35 THAT'S GOING TO BE POURED OUT,
• 07:36 WHAT DOES HE SAY?
• 07:37 HE SAYS, "AND YOU WILL BE WITNESSES UNTO ME
• 07:39 BEGINNING IN JERUSALEM, SAMARIA AND EXTENDING
• 07:43 TO THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH".
• 07:46 WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US; WE'RE PART OF MAKING HISTORY.
• 07:50 ISAIAH THE PROPHET HAD ELSEWHERE SAID,
• 07:52 "THAT THE EARTH WOULD BE FULL OF
• 07:54 THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD
• 07:56 AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA."
• 07:57 AND HE PREDICTED AS WELL,
• 08:12 AND YOU AND I WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT RESONANT WITHIN US ARE MESSENGERS TO THAT EFFECT
• 08:18 THAT WE TELL THE WORLD THAT GOD HAS COME TO BRING PEACE,
• 08:21 FIRST IN OUR HEARTS THROUGH REPENTANCE AND THE INFILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 08:25 AND THEN IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS
• 08:27 AND THEN EXTENDING OUTWARD TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES BEYOND.
• 08:32 ISN'T IT A WONDERFUL STORY?
• 08:34 IT SURELY IS.
• 08:35 FOR OUR PURPOSES PARTICULARLY WORTH NOTING IS
• 08:37 HOW THAT STORY WAS PREDICTED IN THE HEBREW BIBLE.
• 08:40 SO PLEASED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL THIS STORY,
• 08:43 AND I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU WANT TO HEAR IT.
• 08:45 I WANT TO GO BACK TO ISAIAH CHAPTER 11, VERSE 2,
• 08:47 AND JUST EXPLORE SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD THAT'S UPON THIS MESSIAH
• 08:53 WHO'S GOING TO COME INTO THE WORLD.HE SAYS,
• 09:01 BUT THERE ARE SOME COMPONENT PARTS TO THE SPIRIT,
• 09:03 AND WE DERIVE BENEFIT FROM THAT.
• 09:10 WE MAY WELL FIND OURSELVES IN PLACES IN LIFE WHERE WE NEED HELP,
• 09:13 WE NEED A SPECIAL KIND OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE FROM GOD
• 09:16 TO HELP US KNOW HOW TO GET FROM POINT "A" TO POINT "B".
• 09:19 WE'RE TOLD IN THE SCRIPTURES THAT HE WILL, THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, SPEAK TO US,
• 09:23 THAT THERE'LL BE A VOICE THAT'S BREATHED INTO OUR EAR AND TELLS US,
• 09:36 WE NEED WISDOM SOMETIMES AND NOT ONLY DO WE NEED WISDOM AND COUNSEL,
• 09:39 BUT WE NEED MIGHT, WE NEED STRENGTH.
• 09:42 THERE MAY WELL BE SOME THAT HEAR ME NOW THAT ARE WEARIED WITH LIFE'S JOURNEY,
• 09:47 BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE,
• 09:50 INCLUDING THE TRANSFORMATION OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ATTITUDES.
• 09:54 OH THAT YOU WOULD REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND ASK CHRIST TO COME INTO YOUR HEART
• 09:58 AND RECEIVE THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 10:01 AND DERIVE THE BENEFITS THAT ARE DUE YOU AS A RESULT OF YOU SO DOING.
• 10:06 I'LL BE BACK WITH YOU IN A MINUTE.

• 10:36 GREECE OR THE HOLY LAND EXPERIENCE THEME PARK IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA.
• 10:40 PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• 10:47 IS IT NOT FASCINATING THAT THE LORD WANTS TO RAISE UP THE RUINS OF A BYGONE ERA?
• 10:53 TIME AND TIME AGAIN HE PROPHESIES THIS IN THE SCRIPTURES
• 10:56 AND OF COURSE AT ONE LEVEL IT HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NATION STATE OF ISRAEL
• 11:00 AND FOR THE RESURRECTION OF THIS TEMPLE COMPLEX,
• 11:05 IN LIKE MANNER OF COURSE HAS APPLICATIONS FOR HUMAN BEINGS TODAY.
• 11:08 THOSE OF US WHO HAVE FOUND OURSELVES VESTED BY SIN, OVERRUN BY THE DARK FORCES, IF YOU WILL,
• 11:14 SO WONDERFUL IS IT TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REBUILT.
• 11:19 AND WHEN I SAY "WE" I DON'T JUST MEAN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, BUT ALL PEOPLE.
• 11:23 THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS, IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 49, VERSE 6,
• 11:30 NOTED HERE IS IN HEBREW WHERE HE SAYS,
• 11:47 FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ASTUTE LISTENERS TO MY HEBREW,
• 11:50 WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD (HEBREW),
• 11:53 YOU MIGHT RECALL THAT JESUS' HEBREW NAME IS "YESHUA", FOR SALVATION
• 11:57 AND HERE IN ISAIAH 49, VERSE 6,
• 12:00 PROPHESIED IS THAT THE MESSIAH IS GOING TO BE A SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, (HEBREW),
• 12:06 NOT JUST JEWISH PEOPLE BUT ALL PEOPLE.
• 12:08 GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF US TO BE SURE.
• 12:11 WELL HE GOES ON TO SAY IN VERSE 7,
• 12:20 WHAT WE FIND HERE IS AN EXPRESSION THAT'S OFT USED IN ISAIAH.
• 12:24 ISAIAH USES THE TERM "GOD IS DELIVERER" MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
• 12:28 IN FACT, AS I RECALL, THE EXPRESSION FOR DELIVERER AS "GO'EL" AS "REDEEMER"
• 12:33 IS USED MORE IN ISAIAH THAN ALL OTHER PLACES COMBINED.
• 12:36 HERE THE LORD IS DESCRIBED AS A REDEEMER AND BY THAT HE GOES ON TO DESCRIBE,
• 12:41 AND WE'LL PICK IT UP IN THE VERSE,
• 12:56 THAT THIS MESSIAH IS GOING TO COME AND BE A "GO'EL", A DELIVERER, A REDEEMER.
• 13:02 HE'S GOING TO BE A LIGHT TO THE NATIONS, HE'S GOING TO BE SALVATION FOR ALL PEOPLE.
• 13:06 DESPITE THE FACT, SAYS ISAIAH,
• 13:09 THAT HE IS GOING TO BE DESPISED OF MEN AND ABHORRED OF THE NATIONS IN VERSE 7.
• 13:15 NOW, THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD A DESCRIPTION OF THIS MESSIAH
• 13:18 AS DESPISED, REJECTED, ABHORRED, AND ALL THE REST.
• 13:20 I THINK IT'S FASCINATING THAT IT KEEPS COMING UP AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
• 13:25 HE SAYS HERE, THAT THIS MESSIAH IS GOING TO BE...
• 13:36 GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF US IS THAT WHEN SIN MAKES ITS ENTRANCE ONTO THE STAGE
• 13:41 OF THE PERSONAL HUMAN DRAMA WE CAN BECOME DEFILED AND IN VARIOUS WAYS COME TO RUIN.
• 13:46 GOD HAS AN INHERITANCE FOR US, HOWEVER,
• 13:50 HE HAS A GOOD WORK FOR US TO WALK AND HE HAS A GOOD LIFE FOR US.
• 13:53 MANY OF US ARE CONCERNED IF THERE'S LIFE AFTER DEATH.
• 13:56 WELL, THERE'S LIFE BEFORE DEATH, NOT JUST AFTER DEATH. THE MESSIAH CAUSES US TO...
• 14:08 SEE THERE'S THIS CONCEPT HERE AS THE MESSIAH AS THE REDEEMER OF THE SLAVES.
• 14:14 WONDERFUL IMPLICATIONS.
• 14:16 ELSEWHERE LATER ON THE APOSTLE PAUL SAYS,
• 14:18 "THOSE THAT COMMIT SINS ARE SLAVE TO SINS."
• 14:22 WE CAN BE VESTED BY ADDICTIONS, VARIOUS KINDS OF VICES,
• 14:25 DIFFERENT WAYS, DIFFERENT PEOPLE, BUT DIFFERENT SITUATIONS.
• 14:29 THE MESSIAH COMES AS PREDICTED IN THE HEBREW BIBLE TO DELIVER US FROM BONDAGE.
• 14:34 RIGHT HERE IT SAYS IT IN THE TEXT.
• 14:36 I WANT YOU TO LOOK IN CHAPTER 49, VERSE 26,
• 14:38 AND I WANT TO ALIGHT UPON JUST ANOTHER SEGMENT BEFORE I BRING CLOSURE HERE.
• 14:49 AND IT SOUNDS AT ONE LEVEL KIND OF HARSH AND UNCHARACTERISTIC.
• 14:52 THE POINT IS GOD IS GOING TO RISE UP AND BE THE DEFENDER
• 14:55 OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN OVERRUN BY PEOPLE.
• 14:57 THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE LOOKING FOR HELP IN LIFE.HE SAYS...
• 15:22 GREAT NEWS, GOD HIMSELF WILL STAND UP AS OUR CHAMPION.
• 15:27 TALK ABOUT STANDING UP AND RISING UP,THINKING ABOUT THOSE STEPS BEHIND ME.
• 15:32 IF YOU'LL GO BACK PLEASE TO THE 2ND CHAPTER OF ISAIAH,
• 15:37 WE'RE TOLD HERE THAT AS A RESULT OF THE MESSIAH'S MINISTRY THAT..
• 15:51 THE STEPS ARE BEHIND ME, THEY'RE BLOCKED UP.
• 15:53 THESE STEPS WERE THE STEPS THAT JESUS WALKED SOME 2000 YEARS AGO. THESE STONES DON'T LIE.
• 16:00 THEY'RE BIG, THEY'RE HARD TO MOVE, THEY WERE BURIED, BUT EXCAVATED NOT LONG AGO.
• 16:05 AS INDIVIDUALS, A PLETHORA, THOUSANDS, THE THRONGS CAME AND WALKED UP THOSE STEPS.
• 16:10 NOW THE PASSAGEWAY IS BLOCKED.
• 16:14 WONDERFUL HERE THE PREDICTION IS THAT THE HOUSE OF GOD WILL BE REBUILT
• 16:18 AND ONE DAY THE THRONGS WILL GO THERE UNDER THE BANNER OF...
• 16:47 AND HERE FROM THIS FAMOUS CITY SET ON A HILL
• 16:50 AMIDST THE DEVASTATIONS OF A FORMER RUIN WE'RE REMINDED OF ISAIAH'S PROPHECY
• 16:56 THAT THE MESSIAH WILL COME, RAISE UP, BUILD UP, RESTORE.
• 17:01 IT HAS FASCINATING IMPLICATIONS FOR THESE PILLARS THAT HAVE BEEN FELLED
• 17:07 AND IT HAS FASCINATING IMPLICATIONS FOR YOU AND I. GOD BLESS YOU.
• 18:11 THAT'S ISRAEL AND THAT'S THE OTHER REASON WE REALLY WANTED TO SEE ISRAEL.
• 18:15 THE SOUTHERN STEPS THAT JEFF HAS BEEN TEACHING ON,
• 18:17 AUTHENTIC SITE, JEFF.
• 18:19 THEY HAVE A SAYING IN ISRAEL WHEREVER WE GO, "THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN."
• 18:23 THE STEPS THAT WERE LEADING UP TO THE SYNAGOGUE ARE IRREGULAR.
• 18:27 IT'S LIKE TODAY, WE'RE SO BUSY DOING EVERYTHING THAT WHEN THEY PUT THE IRREGULAR STEPS,
• 18:31 PEOPLE HAD TO SLOW DOWN.SO THEY HAD TO GET IN THE RIGHT FRAME TO GO TO THE SYNAGOGUE.
• 18:37 RIGHT, THE TEMPLE WAS BUILT SO DELIBERATELY, THERE WAS SO MUCH INVOLVED IN THE ARCHITECTURE,
• 18:42 SO YOU LOVE THAT PHRASE DON'T YOU?
• 18:44 I LOVE IT BECAUSE IT'S AUTHENTIC.
• 18:45 WE SEE A LOT OF SITES THAT ARE TRADITIONAL AND YOU KNOW YESHUA WALKED ON THESE STEPS.
• 18:51 RIGHT, WE KNOW THAT FOR A FACT. FOR A FACT.
• 18:53 FOLK VISIT ISRAEL TODAY, SOME OF THE SITES, ARE THEY AUTHENTIC OR AREN'T THEY?
• 18:58 SOME OF IT'S A ROLL OF THE DICE BUT THIS ONE'S GOOD TO GO ISN'T IT?
• 19:00 IT'S A WONDERFUL SITE AND THE TEACHING WAS TERRIFIC.
• 19:03 WELL THANK YOU.
• 19:04 WE HAVE A TEACHER COMING UP, FATHER BARGEL PIXNER, WHO IS A DOMINICAN,
• 19:10 HE HAS DIED NOT LONG AGO.I REMEMBER SEEING A STORY OF HIS IN BIBLICAL ARCHEOLOGY REVIEW,
• 19:16 A FAMOUS PERIODICAL THAT LOOKS AT ANTIQUITIES FROM THE HOLY LAND.
• 19:20 HE REPORTED ON WORK THAT WAS DONE ON THE FIRST CHURCH,
• 19:25 THE CHURCH OF THE APOSTLES, ACTUALLY.
• 19:27 IT WAS THE FIRST MESSIANIC JEWISH SYNAGOGUE, INTERESTINGLY; IT WAS A MESSIANIC JEWISH HOUSE.
• 19:31 IN A MOMENT WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FATHER PIXNER AND HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT.
• 19:39 AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM
• 19:40 THE CHRISTIANS THAT HAD FLED
• 19:43 DURING THE SEIZE OF JERUSALEM TO
• 19:47 TRANS JORDON CAME BACK AGAIN
• 19:49 AND THEN THEY BUILT UP THEIR OWN
• 19:52 SYNAGOGUE HERE.
• 19:54 AND WHAT WE SEE HERE SEEMS TO BE THE REMAINS OF THIS FIRST STRUCTURE THAT THEY PUT UP
• 20:00 AFTER THE LAST SUPPER ROOM AND THE PLACE OF THE PENTECOST
• 20:05 AND SO ON HAVE BEEN DESTROYED IN THE YEAR 70.
• 20:09 THEY BUILT HERE A SYNAGOGUE AND THEY BROUGHT STONES THAT WERE PERHAPS FROM THE TEMPLE ITSELF,
• 20:17 PERHAPS FROM ANOTHER STRUCTURE OF HEROD, BUT THEY ARE HERODIAN STONES,
• 20:22 THAT'S THE VIEW OF THE ARCHEOLOGISTS AND HERE WE HAVE THESE KINDS OF STONES.
• 20:27 YOU SEE THIS VERY HUGH STONES HERE,
• 20:30 THEY ARE APPARENTLY HERODIAN STONES AND THEY ARE NOT HERE IN FIRST USAGE.
• 20:36 THEY HAVE BEEN REUSED HERE.YOU SEE FOR INSTANCE THESE STONES HERE,
• 20:41 FIRST OF ALL HOW BIG THEY ARE,
• 20:43 AND SECONDLY THAT THEY FIT VERY
• 20:45 NICELY, ONE ON TOP THE OTHER
• 20:47 VERY PERFECTLY HEWN.
• 20:51 AND YOU SEE ALSO THAT THE CORNERS ARE VERY DESTROYED
• 20:56 WHICH SHOWS THAT THEY HAD BEEN DAMAGED DURING THE TRANSPORT.
• 21:02 FROM THE 1ST CENTURY THESE PLACES HERE SHOWS ALSO
• 21:07 THAT THE FIRST CHRISTIANS THAT WERE HERE WHO WERE JEWS,
• 21:13 THERE WERE JEWS THAT CAME FROM THE JEWISH NATION,
• 21:16 THEY THOUGHT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO START A NEW RELIGION.
• 21:21 THEY WANTED TO CONTINUE INSIDE JUDAISM, THEIR FAITH AND THEIR LOYALTY TO JESUS THE MESSIAH.
• 21:29 AND THEY WERE HERE AND BUILT THEMSELVES A SYNAGOGUE.
• 21:33 JUST INSIDE THIS WALL IS THE TRADITIONAL SITE OF KING DAVID'S TOMB.
• 21:38 THE IDEA FOR THIS SITE STARTED WITH THE CRUSADERS IN THE 12TH CENTURY
• 21:43 WHEN THEY PERCEIVED IT AS A HOLY PLACE.FATHER PIXNER FEELS CERTAIN, HOWEVER,
• 21:47 THAT THIS ROOM IS ACTUALLY PART OF AN ANCIENT 1ST CENTURY SYNAGOGUE.
• 21:52 WHAT IS MOST INTERESTING IS THE DIRECTION OF THIS NICHE,
• 21:56 THE NICHE IS VERY ANCIENT AND THE NICHE GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE OF THE FIRST CENTURY.
• 22:05 IT'S NOT DIRECTED ANYMORE
• 22:08 TOWARDS THE TEMPLE,
• 22:11 BUT IT'S DIRECTED DIRECTLY TO
• 22:15 THE PLACE OF THE RESURRECTION
• 22:19 AND THAT IS A VERY REMARKABLE THING
• 22:21 BECAUSE THE JUDEO CHRISTIANS AS JEWS PRAYED TOWARDS THE TEMPLE.
• 22:26 BUT AS CHRISTIANS AFTER 70, AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE,
• 22:31 THEY STARTED TO PRAY TOWARDS THE PLACE OF THE RESURRECTION.

• 24:38 THAT MUSIC WAS BEAUTIFUL.
• 24:40 SPEAKING OF BEAUTIFUL, THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL TEXT IN ACTS CHAPTER 1, VERSE 8.WE'RE TOLD,
• 24:55 THERE'S A POWER, THERE'S A
• 24:57 TRANSFORMATION WHERE PEOPLE CAN
• 24:59 BEGIN TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
• 25:00 IN THEIR OWN LIFE,
• 25:02 CAN'T THEY SANDRA?
• 25:03 THAT IS A WONDERFUL COMPARISON.
• 25:04 YOU THINK ABOUT
• 25:05 THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
• 25:06 I'VE SEEN GOD TAKE PEOPLE
• 25:08 THAT I HAD NO IDEA HOW HE WOULD
• 25:10 EVER TRANSFORM THEM
• 25:12 AND I'VE SEEN NEW CREATIONS.
• 25:14 AN OLD FRIEND OF ZOLA'S THAT HE WITNESSED TO FOR MANY, MANY YEARS BECAME A BELIEVER.
• 25:19 I KNEW IT WHEN HE WALKED IN THE DOOR. HE WAS A NEW CREATION AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL.
• 25:24 I LIKE IT ALSO, JEFF, AND THE SCRIPTURE GOES ON AND IT SAYS,
• 25:35 THAT'S RIGHT, AND TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH WE GO THROUGH THE MIRACLE OF MODERN TELEVISION
• 25:40 AS WELL AS THROUGH OTHER VENUES.
• 25:42 WHETHER IT'S IN THE WRITTEN WORD THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF LITERATURE,
• 25:45 WHETHER IT'S THROUGH TELEVISION GOING COAST TO COAST, GETTING INTO MILLIONS OF HOMES,
• 25:50 WE WANT TO BE BUSY BEING WITNESSES.
• 25:53 IN THIS PROGRAM WE'VE LOOKED AT THE HOLY SPIRIT'S COMING DOWN.
• 25:58 WE CONSIDERED THE DAY OF PENTECOST.
• 26:00 WE LOOKED AT SOME ISAIAH TEXT WRITTEN HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFOREHAND.
• 26:04 WE HEARD FROM FAMOUS ARCHEOLOGISTS AND MORE.
• 26:08 THE REAL THE STORY IS THE STORY, HOWEVER, WHAT TAKES PLACE IN YOU.
• 26:12 IF WITHIN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE YOU DECIDE TO REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND TURN YOUR HEARTS TO GOD
• 26:17 THEN YOU CAN RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT'S PROMISED RIGHT HERE.
• 26:21 AND AS SANDRA SAID. A TRANSFORMING PROMISE COMES ALONG WITH, CORRECT?
• 26:25 ABSOLUTELY.
• 26:26 THAT AND PLUS WE NEED TO BE WITNESSES.
• 26:29 WE NEED TO BE TELLING PEOPLE THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION.
• 26:32 THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND YOUR SUPPORT.
• 26:35 AND SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
