Caption transcript for She Shall Be Called Woman: “Wives / Eve” (1/8)

• 00:05 WITH DR. JEFFREY SEIF AND SANDRA LEVITT
• 00:09 SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN.
• 00:12 I CAME FORTH FROM A MAN...
• 00:15 BUT I FOUND FAVOR WITH HIM...
• 00:18 AND A TRUE SUCCESS IS NOT MEASURED IN WEALTH AND POWER
• 00:21 BUT IN THE ESTATE WITHIN ONE'S HEART...
• 00:23 I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER AND MORE FULFILLED...
• 00:28 I RAISED HIM UP STRICTLY IN THE FAITH, THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS...
• 00:30 AND NOW I WANT TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK...
• 00:32 I BELIEVE ELOHIM MEANT IT TO BE THIS WAY...
• 00:35 SHE'S STILL A CORNERSTONE OF WISDOM TO THE FAMILY...
• 00:37 BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART..
• 00:57 MY FIRST MEMORIES OF LIFE ARE NOT LIKE ANY OTHER.
• 01:02 I REMEMBER AWAKENING IN THE GARDEN.
• 01:08 EVERYTHING WAS NEW AND FRESH.
• 01:12 THE SWEET FRAGRANCE OF HONEYSUCKLE.
• 01:15 THE TRANQUIL MELODY OF THE LARK.
• 01:19 THE PLEASANT FRUIT ON THE TREES.
• 01:26 ELOHIM LED ME THROUGH THIS GLORIOUS PARADISE
• 01:29 TO A PECULIAR CREATURE.
• 01:32 ONE JUST LIKE ME.
• 01:40 YOU SEE I WAS NOT BORN FROM A MOTHER AND FATHER.
• 01:43 I CAME FORTH FROM A MAN.
• 01:54 THE MOMENT HE LOOKED UPON ME
• 01:57 I SAW HIS SORROW AND LONELINESS TURN TO JOY.
• 02:05 HIS HEART WAS NOW WHOLE.
• 02:10 MY HUSBAND, MY FRIEND, MY LOVE.
• 02:15 JOINED IN UNION FOR LIFE.
• 02:18 JOINED TOGETHER AS ONE.
• 02:25 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 02:27 JEFFREY SEIF WITH MY FRIEND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 02:29 SHALOM, WELCOME TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 02:31 I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE WOMEN'S SERIES.
• 02:34 AND YOU SHOULD BE I MIGHT ADD
• 02:35 BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH WOMEN.
• 02:37 WELL, BUT WOMEN HAVE A LOT TO CONTRIBUTE.
• 02:40 THAT'S TRUE.LIKE CONTRIBUTING TO HALF OF PLANET EARTH.
• 02:44 I'M WONDERING IF THE BIBLE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT WOMAN KIND.
• 02:48 IT SEEMS TO ME THERE'S ENOUGH MISERY IN THE CULTURE,
• 02:51 NOT JUST OURS BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD.
• 02:53 THE MISERY INDEX FOR WOMEN AND MEN IS ARISING
• 02:57 AND I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN BRING SOME BIBLICAL MEDICINE TO BEAR ON LIFE'S ASSORTED HURTS.
• 03:05 THERE'S A LOT OF PAIN IN RELATIONSHIPS.
• 03:07 PEOPLE MARRY FOR AN IDEAL, THEY THINK THEY GOT A RAW DEAL,THEY GO SEARCHING FOR A NEW DEAL.
• 03:13 (SANDRA LAUGHING)
• 03:15 LET'S FIND THE DEAL IN THE BEGINNING WHEN MAN MEETS WOMAN
• 03:18 AND LETS EXPLORE WHAT COMES THEREIN AFTER.
• 03:20 IT CAN ONLY LEAD TO GOOD.
• 03:22 WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DRAMA OF EVE.
• 03:24 CAN YOU IMAGINE THE AWE AND THE WONDER SHE MUST HAVE HAD WAKING UP IN PERFECTION?
• 03:30 WAKING UP IN PERFECTION.
• 03:32 AND I THINK I LIKE THE IDEA OF US GIVING SOME ATTRIBUTES OF WOMEN, SOME BLUEPRINTS,
• 03:37 SOME GUIDELINES OF SOME GREAT WOMEN IN THE BIBLE.
• 03:39 TWO THINGS IN RESPONSE.
• 03:41 FIRST THAT ITS ONE THING TO MEET EACH OTHER
• 03:44 AND WAKE UP IN PERFECTION AND HAPPINESS TO SEE EACH OTHER.
• 03:47 RIGHT.RIGHT.
• 03:49 I WONDER IF THEY WAKE UP STARING AT EACH OTHER ALL LOVELY LIKE THAT 5 YEARS AFTER THEY'RE TOGETHER?
• 03:52 WHEN WE LOOK IN THE BIBLE WE SEE THEY'RE FIGHTING RIGHT THERE IN THE GARDEN.
• 03:55 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADAM AND EVE.PERFECTION PERSONIFIED.
• 03:58 RIGHT, INITIALLY BUT THEN SOMETHING WENT WRONG. >>THAT'S RIGHT.
• 04:02 WE'VE GOT TO MAKE THAT RIGHT. >>SATAN..SATAN WENT WRONG.
• 04:04 HENCE THE PURPOSE OF LOOKING AT THESE VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS
• 04:08 AND WE'VE COMBED THROUGH THE BIBLICAL DRAMA TO LOOK AT 8 SCENARIOS, 8 STORIES
• 04:12 THAT WE THINK ARE WORTHY OF EXPLORING IN ORDER THAT WE CAN COME TO BETTER TERMS
• 04:16 WITH UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF MEN AND WOMEN.
• 04:19 ABSOLUTELY, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT WOMEN,
• 04:21 IT'S ABOUT ATTRIBUTES THAT GOD GIVES ALL OF US.
• 04:23 GOD GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DO HIS WILL
• 04:26 AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S WONDERFUL.
• 04:28 WE'RE GONNA GO TO YOUR TEACHING IN ISRAEL.
• 04:29 I LOVE IT.
• 04:31 I'M PROBABLY GOING TO SAY IT A 100 TIMES ON THIS SERIES.
• 04:33 BUT I LOVE SEEING YOU IN ISRAEL.
• 04:35 I LOVE SEEING YOU TEACH FROM THE BIBLE.
• 04:37 IT'S LIKE I'M THERE.
• 04:38 HERE'S JEFF IN ISRAEL.
• 04:42 THE BIBLE'S A BEAUTIFUL BOOK.
• 04:45 IN THE BOOK "B'resheet",
• 04:46 WHAT WE CALL "GENESIS"
• 04:47 MOSES IS ON RECORD
• 04:49 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 04:57 WE'RE TOLD AS WELL THAT
• 04:59 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 05:10 GOD IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN IN A VERY CREATIVE MOOD OVER A NUMBER OF DAYS
• 05:14 EACH OF WHICH ENDS
• 05:15 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 05:20 DAY 2, DAY 3, ETC.
• 05:22 FINALLY WE GET TO THE END OF THAT CREATIVE UNCTION IN CHAPTER 2, VERSE 1,
• 05:26 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 05:33 THAT GOD HAD MADE IT ALL
• 05:35 AND THAT HE THEN SETTLED DOWN TO REST SOME.
• 05:38 ITS INTERESTING, GOD WAS IN THE MOOD TO REST,
• 05:41 HOWEVER, THINGS WERE JUST CRANKING UP FOR HUMAN KIND.
• 05:45 WE'RE TOLD, IN FACT, IN CHAPTER 1, VERSE 26, BEFORE THE REST,
• 05:49 MOSES SAYS,
• 05:52 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 06:04 OUT OF THE EARTH THERE'S "aretz"
• 06:06 AS IN "LAND"
• 06:07 OR THE WORD IN HEBREW "aphar"
• 06:09 "LIKE THE DUST".
• 06:11 BUT THEN THERE'S THIS EARTHY SUBSTANCE,
• 06:12 IN HEBREW "Adamah",
• 06:15 THE VERY SOIL,
• 06:16 THE ESSENCE OF THE PLANET IF YOU WILL.
• 06:18 AND GOD REACHES DOWN AND FROM THE "Adamah", FROM THE EARTH
• 06:23 GOD MAKES "Adam", HE MAKES ADAM.
• 06:27 IT'S A FASCINATING STORY.
• 06:29 IN FACT, IN THE OPENING SALVO WE'RE TOLD THAT
• 06:31 GOD MADE ADAM IN HIS IMAGE,
• 06:34 IN HIS LIKENESS,
• 06:36 BUT NOT JUST ADAM ALONE.
• 06:38 ALONG WITH ADAM CAME "Chavah",
• 06:41 ADAM AND "EVE".
• 06:43 WE'RE TOLD THAT MAN AND WOMAN, HE CREATED THEM.
• 06:47 WHILE WE'RE INTERESTED IN CREATION GENERALLY,
• 06:51 WE'RE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN THE CREATION OF HOLY MATRIMONY.
• 06:56 WHEN GOD REACHED OUT TO ADAM AND MADE HIM,
• 07:00 OBSERVED WITHIN HIM WAS THAT IT WAS NOT GOOD FOR THAT MAN TO BE ALONE
• 07:05 AND THAT HE WAS TO BE COMPLIMENTED
• 07:08 BY THE CREATION OF 'Chavah", "EVE",
• 07:11 WHO WAS MADE BY GOD,
• 07:13 WHO CAME FORTH FROM HIM.
• 07:16 IT'S AN INTERESTING COMBINATION
• 07:19 AND IT'S THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN.
• 07:22 IT'S THE WOMAN'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE MAN AND TO LIFE.
• 07:25 IT'LL BE THE OBJECT OF OUR CONTENTION AS WE CONTINUE ON.

• 07:58 PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• 08:03 GOD MADE MAN AND GOD MADE WOMAN
• 08:07 AND HE GAVE THEM THE MANDATE TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY AND REPLENISH THE EARTH.
• 08:13 AND OF COURSE WE KNOW THE STORY, REPLENISH THE EARTH THEY DID.
• 08:17 PEOPLE GOT TO THE BUSINESS OF FINDING LOVE AND MARRIAGE AND THE RACE MULTIPLIED.
• 08:22 WE LEARN, HOWEVER, NOT LONG AFTER THE CREATION OF MARRIAGE THAT THINGS WENT HORRIBLY WRONG.
• 08:29 NOT WITH MARRIAGE ITSELF AS AN INSTITUTION AS MUCH AS WITH HUMAN KIND.
• 08:34 FOR WHILE PLACED IN "Gan-Eden",
• 08:36 WHILE PLACED IN PARADISE THINGS WENT AWRY.
• 08:40 SIN MADE ITS ENTRANCE ON TO THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA.
• 08:44 THE RACE WAS VITIATED, DEFILED, AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
• 08:50 AND EVIDENCE OF THINGS GOING WRONG IS ATTESTED IN THE WAY MEN AND WOMEN TREATED EACH OTHER.
• 08:57 WELL, WE KNOW THAT CAIN KILLED ABEL AND THEN WE SEE IN THE GENESIS NARRATIVE THAT ONE OF
• 09:02 CAIN'S OFFSPRING'S LAMECH WENT ON AND KILLED A MAN HIMSELF.
• 09:08 IN FACT, HE BOASTS TO HIS WIVES OF HAVING DONE SO.
• 09:13 LAST I CHECKED THE BIBLE SAYS THAT A MAN WAS TO BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE
• 09:16 NOT JOINED TO HIS WIVES.
• 09:19 THINGS WENT BAD AND THIS INTEREST IN ACQUIRING WOMEN IS EVIDENCED OF A WORLD GONE BAD.
• 09:26 TO BE SURE, THERE'S NATURAL DESIRES, SEXUAL DESIRES BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN,
• 09:30 BUT THIS ACQUISITIVENESS, THIS UNBRIDLED LUST FOR THE MORE IS GOING TO BE HUMANKIND'S UNDOING.
• 09:40 IN THE BIBLE GOD MADE MAN.
• 09:42 I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS ON THE SCREEN WITH A LITTLE HEBREW LESSON.
• 09:45 THE WORD FOR "MAN" IN HEBREW IS "ISH"
• 09:48 "Alef" - "Yud" - "Shin"
• 09:51 THE HEBREW FOR "WOMAN"
• 09:54 IS THE WORD "ISHA".
• 09:57 "Alef" - "Shin" - "Hay"
• 10:01 THE LETTERS COMMON BETWEEN THEM
• 10:02 ARE THE "Alef' AND THE "Shin"
• 10:04 BUT IF YOU LOOK AGAIN AT THE HEBREW
• 10:06 YOU'LL SEE THE LETTER "Yud".
• 10:09 AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE HEBREW FOR "ISHA", "WOMAN",
• 10:12 YOU'LL SEE THE LETTER "Hay"
• 10:13 THAT ARE UNIQUE TO EACH.
• 10:15 THE LETTER "Yud" AND THE LETTER "Hay"
• 10:17 IN HEBREW FORM THE PREFIX FOR GOD.
• 10:21 IT'S THE ABBREVIATED FORM OF JEHOVAH,
• 10:23 HENCE THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S GOD,
• 10:26 IT'S WITH GOD THAT WOMEN AND MEN ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER.
• 10:30 IN MUCH THE SAME WAY, ABSENT GOD FROM THE EQUATION WHAT WE'RE LEFT WITH IS SOMETHING ELSE.
• 10:36 IN FACT, IF YOU TAKE "Yud" AND "Hay"
• 10:38 OUT OF THE WORDS "ISH" AND "ISHA"
• 10:41 YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN
• 10:43 YOU'RE LEFT WITH THE LETTERS "Olif" AND "Shin".
• 10:45 THIS IS THE HEBREW FOR "FIRE".
• 10:47 YOU MIGHT RECALL PAUL SAYING ONCE THAT GOD BRINGS MEN AND WOMEN TOGETHER
• 10:52 AND THAT ITS BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO BURN.
• 10:54 YOU TAKE GOD OUT OF THE EQUATION
• 10:56 AND WHAT YOU'RE LEFT WITH IS FIRE.
• 10:59 WELL, MARRIAGE AS AN INSTITUTION IS ON FIRE.
• 11:02 WHAT I WANT TO DO IS TAKE YOU TO THE BIBLICAL TEXT
• 11:05 AND SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN EXTINGUISH IT BY BRINGING BIBLICAL WATER TO BEAR
• 11:10 TO HELP INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND THIS GREAT INSTITUTION, WHAT WE CALL "MARRIAGE".
• 11:24 I BELIEVE THAT ITS IMPORTANT FOR MARRIAGE TO ENDURE BEYOND LOVE'S FIRST IMPULSES.
• 11:31 FOR AS WE MATURE BETTER THAT WE GO THROUGH LIFE TOGETHER.
• 11:35 TO HELP FACILITATE STRONGER BONDS I THINK WE DO WELL TO LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BOND,
• 11:41 THE BIBLICAL INSTRUCTION FOR IT IN FACT
• 11:43 AND GENESIS CHAPTER 2 IS THE "GO TO" PLACE
• 11:47 AND SO IF YOU WILL OPEN UP YOUR BIBLES PLEASE I'M GOING TO READ FROM MINE.
• 11:52 AND THEREIN WE FIND A LONELY MAN.
• 11:54 IN FACT, IN VERSE 18 OF THE 2ND CHAPTER STARTS OFF
• 11:58 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 12:02 AND WHAT DOES HE SAY?
• 12:03 HE SAYS WHAT WE ALL KNOW WITHOUT HIM SAYING IT.
• 12:05 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 12:07 THAT IT IS NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE AND
• 12:13 THERE'S A DESIRE TO FIND THAT OTHER HALF
• 12:16 AND HERE THAT'S GIVEN EXPRESSION TO IN THE BIBLICAL LITERATURE.
• 12:19 ADAM DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THAT OTHER HALF'S GOING TO BE SO GOD PUTS HIM TO SLEEP
• 12:24 AND HE'S GOING TO WAKE UP
• 12:25 AND DISCOVER SOMEONE BEYOND HIS WILDEST DREAMS.
• 12:30 IT'S A BEAUTIFUL STORY AND THERE'S A POINT IN THE STORY THAT'S WORTH UNDERSCORING.
• 12:34 IN VERSE 23 THE MAN IS WOKEN UP
• 12:36 AND HIS EYES ALIGHT UPON "CHAVA" UPON EVE.
• 12:41 AND WE'RE TOLD HE SAYS HERE,
• 12:42 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 12:48 HE LOOKS AT HER AND SAYS,
• 12:49 "THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT".
• 12:51 HE SAYS, "THIS IS BONE OF BONE AND FLESH OF MY FLESH".
• 12:55 LOOK HOW ATTRACTED HE IS.
• 12:56 YOU CAN JUST FEEL THE ENERGY IN HIS VOICE.
• 12:59 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 13:02 AND WHY?
• 13:05 WE'RE TOLD, (Speaking Hebrew)
• 13:08 BECAUSE THIS WOMAN CAME FORTH FROM THE MAN.
• 13:12 AND THEN THERE'S SOME EMBELLISHMENT ON TOP OF THIS THAT'S WORTH NOTING SERIOUSLY.
• 13:17 WE'RE TOLD THEN,
• 13:19 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 13:27 IN AS MUCH AS SHE WAS SEPARATED FROM HIM,
• 13:30 SEPARATION IS UNDERSCORED THAT A MAN AND A WOMAN LEAVE THEIR FAMILY OF ORIGIN
• 13:35 AND WE'RE TOLD,
• 13:36 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 13:42 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 13:47 AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE SECRET TO THAT ONE FLESH IS?
• 13:49 IT'S COMMITMENT, LEARNING TO LOVE,
• 13:52 LEARNING TO GO THROUGH LIFE TOGETHER FROM ADOLESCENCE AND BEYOND.
• 13:56 AS WE CONTINUE ON IN OUR SERIES ON WOMEN OF THE BIBLE.
• 14:11 SHALOM FROM JERUSALEM.
• 14:13 ACTUALLY WE'RE IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
• 14:15 WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OLIVE TREES JEFF,
• 14:17 OUR PEOPLE ARE BEHIND, THEY'RE LISTENING TO OUR GUIDE ZVI TALK
• 14:20 AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO DO A BIBLE STUDY.
• 14:22 (Jeff Speaking) AND THEY ARE HAVING A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.
• 14:24 IF YOU FEEL THE LORD BECKONING YOU AND MYSTERIOUS IS THE BECKONING
• 14:28 THAT HAVE BEEN DRAWING BELIEVERS TO THIS LAND FOR MILLENNIA.
• 14:32 DO JOIN US PLEASE FOR A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.
• 14:34 SANDRA AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE BLESSED.
• 14:42 THAT'S JEFF TEACHING IN ISRAEL.
• 14:44 I ALWAYS LOVE SEEING YOU TEACH IN ISRAEL.
• 14:47 EVE'S NAME MEANS "MOTHER OF ALL WHO HAVE LIFE" JEFF.
• 14:51 AND SHE IS SUCH AN ENCOURAGEMENT,
• 14:53 THE MOTHER OF ALL LIFE.
• 14:55 YES, AND IT'S A SHAME THAT DEATH MADE ITS ENTRANCE ONTO THE HUMAN DRAMA SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
• 15:00 BUT WE HAVE HOPE ALSO.CHAPTER 3, VERSE 15 TELLS US THAT HIS HEEL WILL CRUSH EVIL,
• 15:05 THAT WE HAVE HOPE ALREADY.
• 15:07 YES, AND WE LEARN MORE ABOUT HOPE IN LOOKING AT WHAT GOD'S PLAN IS
• 15:11 FOR WOMEN AND MEN BY DIVINE DESIGN AS WELL THAT WE CAN LEARN HOW TO PERFORM IN LIFE.
• 15:16 SOMETHING WENT WRONG BACK THEN.
• 15:17 YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE SATAN?
• 15:19 I BELIEVE SO.
• 15:20 WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN TURN THIS THING AROUND
• 15:22 AND WHAT THE BIBLICAL TESTIMONY MIGHT HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE.
• 15:25 I THINK LOOKING AT SOME OF THE WOMEN WILL HELP US,
• 15:27 MAYBE GIVE US A GUIDELINE OF WHERE WE'RE GOING AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.
• 15:30 YES, SPEAKING OF GUIDELINES,
• 15:32 THE BIBLE SAYS THE UNFOLDING OF THY WORD GIVES LIGHT, IT IMPARTS UNDERSTANDING TO THE SIMPLE.
• 15:37 AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE UNDER-GIRDED
• 15:40 WITH GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO BE IN THIS WORLD.
• 15:42 LET'S OPEN UP THE BIBLE AND GET AFTER IT, THAT'S THE POINT.
• 15:45 IT'S THE HOPE.
• 15:47 I HEARD ANOTHER INTERESTING COMMENTARY.
• 15:49 EVE WAS CREATED FROM ADAM'S SIDE,
• 15:52 NOT FROM BELOW IN HIS FEET
• 15:54 OR ABOVE HIS HEAD,
• 15:55 BUT TO BE AT HIS SIDE.
• 15:57 AND I THINK THAT'S AN INTERESTING VISUAL
• 15:59 FOR US AS WOMEN TO KNOW THAT
• 16:00 WE ARE TO BE BY THE SIDE OF OUR HUSBAND.
• 16:02 RIGHT, IT'S A GREAT VISUAL.
• 16:03 BUT WHAT DO WOMEN GET AS VISUALS?
• 16:05 WE GET IMAGES OF BRITTANY SPEARS, PARIS HILTON,
• 16:08 THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
• 16:09 THAT ARE MODELING A STORY OF HOW TO BE IN THIS WORLD.
• 16:12 RIGHT.
• 16:13 I BELIEVE THAT A BIBLICAL WOMAN
• 16:15 NEEDS TO OPEN UP A BIBLICAL TEXT
• 16:17 AND GET SOME BIBLICAL INSTRUCTION.
• 16:19 I BELIEVE THAT A BIBLICAL MAN NEEDS TO OPEN UP A BIBLICAL TEXT
• 16:21 TO GET SOME INSTRUCTION ABOUT HOW TO BE AND WHO TO LOOK FOR TO COMPLIMENT.
• 16:25 THERE'S COMPETING VISIONS IN THIS CULTURE
• 16:28 AND I BELIEVE THE BIBLICAL VISION IS THE BEST ONE.
• 16:31 ABSOLUTELY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT.
• 16:33 WE'RE GONING TO TALK TO SOME LADIES THAT ARE CURRENT DAY,
• 16:36 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT WOMEN IN THE BIBLE FROM DAYS GONE BY.
• 16:39 AND I THINK IT WILL BE A REALLY GOOD MIX OF YESTERDAY, TODAY
• 16:43 AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
• 16:44 BECKY BRIMMER IS A GREAT EXAMPLE BY THE WAY.
• 16:46 SHE'S COMING UP. >>BECKY BRIMMER IS >>A GREAT EXAMPLE !
• 16:48 THIS A PRAYER WARRIOR,
• 16:50 SHE'S GOT A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HER HUSBAND
• 16:51 WHO HAS GIVEN HER THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO WITH GOD
• 16:55 AND NOT HOLD BACK AND THERE'S A GREAT STORY HERE.
• 16:58 AND IT IS A GREAT STORY
• 16:59 AND THEY DO, THEY WALK SIDE BY SIDE.
• 17:00 THEY MINISTER TOGETHER,
• 17:01 THEY WALK SIDE BY SIDE.
• 17:03 I ASKED HER THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER.
• 17:05 WE TALKED ABOUT PRAYER.
• 17:06 HOW IMPORTANT IS PRAYER?
• 17:08 HERE'S BECKY BRIMMER.
• 17:10 I REALLY BELIEVE THAT PRAYER CHANGES THINGS. I AGREE
• 17:13 I GREW UP WITH THAT PLAQUE
• 17:14 ON MY BEDROOM WALL.
• 17:15 SOMETIMES I THINK WE FORGET
• 17:17 THAT ITS REALLY TRUE.
• 17:18 AND AS CHRISTIANS WE HAVE
• 17:20 THIS TOOL IN OUR HANDS
• 17:22 THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US THE ABILITY TO
• 17:24 COMMUNICATE WITH THE ALMIGHTY
• 17:25 FACE TO FACE >>YES, YES
• 17:27 AND TO BRING OUR PETITIONS TO HIM
• 17:29 AND TO COME TO HIM IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP
• 17:30 AND SO OFTEN WE JUST DON'T FIND THE TIME TO SPEND WITH HIM.
• 17:33 NO, I HEAR PEOPLE SAY, "I CAN ONLY PRAY" >>YES
• 17:37 AND I THINK >>NO !
• 17:38 THAT'S THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO >>RIGHT
• 17:40 FOR SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS TO PRAY FOR THEM.
• 17:44 BUT I BECAME KIND OF FRUSTRATED
• 17:45 BECAUSE I FELT LIKE THERE WERE CHRISTIANS WHO KNEW THAT
• 17:48 THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
• 17:50 BUT THEY JUST STOP THERE,
• 17:51 "OH GOD, PLEASE BLESS ISRAEL."
• 17:53 AND SO I WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING
• 17:54 THAT WOULD GIVE THEM AN IDEA OF HOW TO PRAY MORE SPECIFICALLY.
• 17:57 I BELIEVE GOD ANSWERS SPECIFIC PRAYERS.
• 18:00 HE DOES AND I LOVE THE FRIDAY BRIDGES FOR PEACE THAT I GET ON THE INTERNET,
• 18:04 AND IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS, "PLEASE PRAY THIS PRAYER"
• 18:06 AND IT GIVES BIBLE SCRIPTURE THAT HELPS US PRAY FOR EXACTLY WHAT ISRAEL NEEDS.
• 18:12 I LIKE THAT
• 18:14 WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER MY DAD CAME HOME ONE TIME
• 18:16 AND BROUGHT SOME NECKLACES TO MY SISTER AND I.
• 18:20 AND THEY WERE ABOUT THIS BIG AROUND.
• 18:22 THEY WERE THE MOST GAUDY THINGS YOU EVERY SAW.
• 18:24 (SANDRA LAUGHING)
• 18:25 THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE GOLD >>RIGHT
• 18:27 BUT YOU KNOW ITS THAT SORT OF FAKE GOLD, BRASSY LOOK. >>YEAH, YEAH.
• 18:29 BUT THERE WERE STARS OF DAVID
• 18:30 AND THEY HAD THE NAME OF JEWISH PERSON ON THEM. >>OH MY.
• 18:33 AND HE SAID, "THESE PEOPLE ON THESE NECKLACES"
• 18:35 "ARE IMPRISONED IN THE SOVIET UNION"
• 18:38 "BECAUSE THEY'RE JEWISH"
• 18:39 "OR BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GO TO ISRAEL"
• 18:41 "OR BECAUSE THEY WANT TO STUDY HEBREW".
• 18:43 AND HE SAYS, "WE'RE GOING TO PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE"
• 18:45 "UNTIL GOD WORKS IN THEIR LIVES"
• 18:47 AND SO WE STARTED PRAYING FOR THOSE PEOPLE
• 18:49 AND ACTUALLY MY SISTER SORT OF GOT HOLD OF THE WHOLE IDEA
• 18:53 BETTER THAN I DID.
• 18:54 I WAS A TYPICAL TEENAGER.
• 18:56 I WAS PROBABLY MORE INTERESTED IN CLOTHES AND MAKEUP AND BOYS
• 18:58 THAN I WAS IN PRAYING AT THAT TIME.
• 19:00 BUT MY SISTER, SANDY, SHE STARTED PRAYING
• 19:03 AND EVERY DAY SHE PRAYED FOR THE PERSON ON HER NECKLACE
• 19:06 AND SO FINALLY I SAID,
• 19:07 "HERE, YOU BETTER PRAY FOR MINE TOO"
• 19:08 (SANDRA LAUGHING).
• 19:10 SO SHE STARTED PRAYING FOR ALL 4 OF THEM
• 19:12 AND A FEW MONTHS LATER WE WERE READING THE JERUSALEM POST
• 19:15 AND THERE WAS A LITTLE ARTICLE
• 19:17 ABOUT THIS LONG ON THE INSIDE PAGE ON THE LEFT SIDE,
• 19:20 YOU KNOW, NOT THE IMPORTANT SIDE. >>NO, ITS NEVER THERE.
• 19:23 AND WE READ THIS LITTLE ARTICLE AND IT SAID,
• 19:26 "SILVA ZALMANSON, ONE OF THE LENINGRAD ELEVEN"
• 19:29 "HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM PRISON EARLY AND IS NOW IN ISRAEL"
• 19:31 AND WE JUST KNEW THAT OUR PRAYERS HAD BEEN ANSWERED
• 19:34 BECAUSE THAT WAS THE NAME ON ONE OF OUR NECKLACES.
• 19:37 THAT IS SO ENCOURAGING!
• 19:38 AND MY SISTER WAS IN ISRAEL A FEW MONTHS LATER
• 19:41 AND THE GUIDE FOUND SILVA ZALMANSON
• 19:44 AND MY SISTER WENT AND MET HER,
• 19:45 TOOK HER FLOWERS AND TOLD THE STORY
• 19:47 OF HOW SHE HAD PRAYED FOR HER EVERY DAY
• 19:49 AND THIS JEWISH WOMAN JUST WEPT IN HER LITTLE ISRAELI APARTMENT
• 19:54 SHE SAID, "I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY I WAS THE ONLY ONE RELEASED."
• 19:58 "EVERYONE ELSE THAT WAS ARRESTED AT THE SAME TIME AS I"
• 20:02 "WITH THE EXACT SAME SENTENCE WAS KEPT IN PRISON"
• 20:05 "AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE RELEASED."
• 20:07 AND SHE SAID, "NOW I KNOW ITS BECAUSE YOU WERE PRAYING."
• 20:09 OH WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY!
• 20:11 SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WOMEN OF THE BIBLE.
• 20:14 TELL ME WHO YOUR FAVORITE WOMAN IS
• 20:15 OR WHAT ENCOURAGEMENT CAN YOU GIVE WOMEN?
• 20:18 WELL I BELIEVE THAT GOD WANTS TO USE ALL PEOPLE. >>I AGREE.
• 20:21 I DON'T THINK THAT GOD IS LIMITED BY GENDER. >>RIGHT.
• 20:25 WE LIMIT OURSELVES.
• 20:27 HE JUST WANTS US TO FOLLOW HIM WITH OUR WHOLE HEART.
• 20:30 AND I GUESS IF I WAS TO
• 20:31 CHOOSE A WOMAN THAT I
• 20:32 FIND BRINGS ME TO AWE,
• 20:36 IT'D BE DEBRA BECAUSE
• 20:38 SHE A MOTHER IN ISRAEL
• 20:40 AND YET WHEN THE CRISIS AROSE SHE WAS READY.
• 20:44 SHE WAS READY.
• 20:45 SHE WAS READY AND SHE SAID,
• 20:46 "OKAY GOD, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO"
• 20:49 "I WILL LEAD THE ARMY INTO THIS BATTLE."
• 20:51 DON'T YOU KNOW ITS SO UNUSUAL
• 20:54 FOR A WOMAN TO LEAD AN ARMY AND YET SHE DID IT.
• 20:57 YEAH, I IMAGINE THAT SHE WAS LIKE ME
• 20:59 WHEN I WAS ASKED TO BE THE CEO OF BRIDGES FOR PEACE.
• 21:01 I SAID, "OH GOD, YOU CAN'T MEAN ME?"
• 21:03 YOU DON'T MEAN ME. I CAN'T DO THIS. RIGHT.
• 21:05 I TOLD HIM, I SAID, "DON'T YOU KNOW I'M A WOMAN?"
• 21:07 AND HE SAID, "YEAH, I'VE NOTICED."
• 21:09 AND I SAID, "WELL, DON'T YOU KNOW"
• 21:10 "I DON'T HAVE A DEGREE IN BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT?"
• 21:12 AND HE SAYS, "YEAH, I KNOW THAT."
• 21:14 "DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TELLING ME SOMETHING NEW?"
• 21:16 AND THEN FINALLY, I SAID, "OKAY,"
• 21:17 "IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO"
• 21:19 "I'LL GO WHERE YOU WANT ME TO GO,"
• 21:20 "I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO"
• 21:22 "AND I'LL DO IT AS LONG YOU WANT ME TO DO IT."
• 21:23 OH, YOU'RE PRECIOUS.
• 21:25 I LOVE BRIDGES FOR PEACE AND ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS WE REALLY RECOMMEND FROM MINISTRY.
• 21:29 I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK.
• 21:31 I APPRECIATE THAT YOU SOW THE SEEDS AND THE WAY YOU DO IT WITH YOUR WORK,
• 21:35 WITH YOUR ACTUAL WORK.
• 21:37 YOU KNOW, YESHUA SAID THAT WE SHOULD BE LIKE LIGHTS ON A HILL. THAT'S RIGHT.
• 21:42 WHAT EXACTLY DOES A LIGHT DO?
• 21:44 IT SHINES.
• 21:45 IT SHINES.
• 21:46 THAT'S RIGHT.
• 21:47 I TELL MY STAFF, I SAY, "I WANT YOU TO SHINE,"
• 21:49 "I WANT YOU TO SHINE ALL THE TIME,"
• 21:51 "EVERYWHERE YOU GO"
• 21:52 "YOU NEED TO BE SHINNING WITH THE LOVE OF THE LORD."
• 21:54 AMEN, NOT HIDDEN. >>THAT'S RIGHT.
• 21:56 NOT HIDDEN, REAL BELIEVERS LOVE ISRAEL. >>THAT'S RIGHT.
• 21:58 I BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE IF YOU LOVE GOD
• 22:00 I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN NOT LOVE ISRAEL.
• 22:02 THAT'S THE TRUTH ISN'T IT?
• 22:04 BECAUSE HE LOVES THEM. HE LOVES ISRAEL.
• 22:06 YOU CAN'T HARDLY GO THROUGH THIS BOOK WITHOUT KNOWING THAT.
• 22:09 ITS IN EVERY PAGE PRACTICALLY. >>THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S ON EVERY SINGLE PAGE.
• 22:11 OH, YOU'RE PRECIOUS.
• 22:12 THANK YOU FOR TALKING TO US AND GOD BLESS YOU.
• 22:14 THANK YOU.

• 24:06 SO WHAT DOES THE TEXT SAY?
• 24:07 SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN.
• 24:12 ADAM WAS SO PLEASED TO WAKE UP AND DISCOVER HER BY HIS SIDE.
• 24:17 TODAY, THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER, WE HAVE A WORLD THAT'S POPULATED BY WOMEN AND MEN.
• 24:23 BUT THERE'S TROUBLE IN RIVER CITY IN AS MUCH AS THERE WAS TROUBLE IN THE GARDEN
• 24:27 AND THIS THING CAME UNGLUED SO IT IS THAT MANY TODAY ARE COMING UNGLUED
• 24:33 AS WEDGES ARE BEING DRIVEN BETWEEN THE MALES AND THE FEMALES OF THE SPECIES.
• 24:38 WE NEED TO REMOVE THE WEDGE AND PUT SOME CEMENT IN THERE,
• 24:43 BIBLICAL MEDICINE TO FIRM UP BONDS.
• 24:46 AND I BELIEVE WITH SANDRA, TOGETHER WE BELIEVE,
• 24:50 THAT THE BIBLE HAS ANSWERS FOR HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS AND WE BEGAN WITH "CHAVA", WITH EVE.
• 24:56 THERE'S A BAD STORY THERE OF SIN MAKING ITS ENTRANCE ON TO THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA.
• 25:01 BUT THROUGH HER COMES REDEMPTION AS WELL, SO ITS OVERLY SIMPLISTIC
• 25:05 SIMPLY TO VILIFY THE FEMALES OF THE SPECIES AS BEING THE PROBLEM CAUSER.
• 25:09 THEY'RE ALSO THE ONE TO BRING SOLUTION, IF YOU WILL.
• 25:12 WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW IN DIFFERENT WAYS, DIFFERENT DAYS,
• 25:14 DIFFERENT WOMEN ENTERED INTO THE PAGES OF THE BIBLICAL DRAMA
• 25:18 AND LEFT AN IMPRINT FOR THOSE THAT HAVE A MIND TO BE INSTRUCTED BY THE BIBLICAL TEXT.
• 25:22 AND THAT'S MY HOPE FOR THIS WHOLE SERIES
• 25:25 IS THAT PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED BY WOMEN AND THEIR ATTRIBUTES.
• 25:29 NOT TO BE MALIGNED, NOT TO BE A FEMINIST,
• 25:32 NOT TO BE ANY THING NEGATIVE ABOUT WOMEN,
• 25:34 BUT TO REJOICE THAT WE ARE WOMEN
• 25:36 AND THAT WE DO CONTRIBUTE AND I LOVE THAT.
• 25:38 AND YOUR MENTIONING THAT REMINDS ME
• 25:40 ITS AN UNSCRIPTED POINT HERE
• 25:41 AND THAT IS THAT IN JUST DEVELOPING THIS SERIES
• 25:45 THERE WERE A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE DISCONCERTED,
• 25:47 "OH YOU'RE A FEMINIST,"
• 25:48 YOUR THIS, JUST BY WANTING TO TALK ABOUT WOMEN.
• 25:51 IT WAS SENSITIVE.
• 25:52 I GUESS IT MUST HAVE POLARIZED PEOPLE.
• 25:54 I THINK PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE WITH WOMEN SOMETIMES MAYBE TAKING A LEAD ON SOMETHING
• 25:59 BUT SOME OF THE WOMEN WE TALK ABOUT ARE VERY STRONG WOMEN.
• 26:02 HANNAH, ABIGAIL, THE UNNAMED WIDOW IS A STRONG AND YET WEAK WOMAN
• 26:08 AND YET WE SEE STRENGTH IN ALL OF WHAT THEY DID.
• 26:10 I THINK THAT THE MALES OF THE SPECIES
• 26:12 THAT PREFER LOOKING AT WEAK WOMEN,
• 26:14 ITS MORE OF THE WEAKNESS IN THE MALES OF THE SPECIES,
• 26:17 THAT IS, "I'M SO INSECURE, SO INTIMIDATED,"
• 26:19 "I CAN'T BE AROUND A WOMAN THAT HAS SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE RATHER FORCEFULLY."
• 26:23 BUT WE'RE IN GOD'S WORLD,
• 26:25 WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER TO GLORIFY GOD AND THAT'S THE STORY I WANT TO TELL.
• 26:29 YES,AND FOLLOW MY LEAD AS WE GO INTO THIS SERIES.
• 26:32 RIGHT AND NEXT WEEK WE TALK ABOUT MOTHERS
• 26:35 AND HANNAH THE MOTHER WHO LOVED HER SON SO MUCH.
• 26:38 AND WE WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK. AND AS YOU GO,
• 26:41 "SHA' ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM" PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
